[QUOTE="beepeearr, post: 5368212, member: 20548"] For my campaign, I tie each of the various magic power sources to different planes. Shadow magic would tie to the Shadowfell, plane of shadows Divine to the Astral sea and the Gods who make their home there Primal to spirits of the World, or prime material plane. Elemental to the elemental chaos Arcane is tied to the Feywild, where the Shadowfell is powered by death and shadow (negative energy), Arcane magic is vibrant and full of life positive energy). Arcane casters each find different ways to harness this raw and chaotic energy. Wizards use ancient formulas and rituals. Warlocks make deals with others who can show them the way. sorcerers just have an innate talent for bending it to their will. Bards find tunes and melodies that lead the raw magic to the form they wish it to take (think pied pipers, but magic instead of rats and children). Oh and Psionics ties into the Far Realm, and the madness therein, using focus and control, and using their own bodies to channel reality altering madness. [/QUOTE]
