Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 6809850" data-attributes="member: 58172">Arcane magic uses the Ether - the Weave - to get to the Outer Planes. The Positive Energy plane perfuses both the Celestial archetypes and thought in the Astral plane, as well as the Fey flourishings in the Ethereal plane. An Arcane can ride the Positivity from the Ether into the Aster. And vice versa.Symmetrically, The Negative Energy plane unravels both the Fiendish archetypes and thought in the Astral plane, as well as the Shadow deathliness in the Ethereal plane. Arcane can jump the void from the Ether into the Aster. And vice versa.There is a kind of ‘distance’ sotospeak from the Shadowfell as a realm of the dead to the Celestial paradise ‘above’. At the same time there is a ‘nearness’ between the Evil undead spirits of the realm of death, and the Evil fiendish spirits of the planes of Devils and Demons - and the two often commingle.Symmetrically, there is also a kind of ‘distance’ from Feywild to the Fiendish torment ‘below’. For example, suppose a Fey Elf wishes to travel from the Feywild to the Celestial Elf Courts in the Chaotic Good plane of Arborea to envision the cultural ideals of Elves. The Fey Elf can travel there directly, via the currents of Positivity. There are ‘Fey Crossings’ between the Feywild and the Celestial realms. By contrast, to get to the Fiendish planes requires a more circuitous route. The Elf would first have to get to the Elven paradise in Arborea, then from there enter the Astral plane to navigate to the Fiendish planes. Alternatively, the Elf could get to the Material plane thru a Fey Crossing, and from there find someone who can navigate the Aster to the Fiendish realms.Certain Evil Fey that associate with Fiends, likewise maintain close ties with the Material plane.</blockquote>
