Message: <blockquote data-quote="uv23" data-source="post: 111243" data-attributes="member: 678">Seems like a really stupid question but hear me out.In settings such as Dragonlance and FR, arcane magic is a force that is provided by the gods to wizards, much as divine magic is provided to their clerics. When wizards call out their ancient words, make their gestures and so forth, they're basically praying for their magic. Sorcerers tap into a natural power that exists as an eternal and primal force, whether its internal or external.So to get to my question. In worlds where the gods do not specifically provide arcane magic, where do wizards get their power from? Who's ears do their ancient words fall on? What significance do their gestures and components have? How long has this power existedand where did it come from? Sorcerers are easy to explain in these settings but wizards have me a bit stumped...</blockquote>
