Imagine the reality of the multiverse as being a peaceful island in the eye of a massive storm. Causality and the flow of time allow for a sequences of events to transpire, so that paradoxes aren't constantly breaking things. The inner planes provide a tentative balance, so that the prime is composed of somewhat equal quanitities of elements. Some ancient laws afford the gods divine power, by allowing them to tap into the latent and subconcious beliefs of their followers. Primordial gods, by comparison, are able to draw power by epitomizing an element or ideal. But arcane magic... is a force that transcends reality.Every mind is a gate to the unreal. The power of an idea is immeasurable- ideas can raise up great empires, and cast them into ruin. Thought can give rise to form, and form to function. Anyone can manifest their imaginings in the real world... but arcane casters cheat at it. They don't form their ideas out of existing materials. Instead, they break down the barrier between the real and unreal by bringing their force of will, their conviction, and their belief to bear against the passive laws of reality.On a fundamental level, the reality of the D&D multiverse is not the same as our own. It does not so solidly rest in the real- that magic exists at all, is proof of that. If its foundations, so to speak, were more secure magic would be weaker, or it might cease to exist altogether.</blockquote>
