| Question: | Several different creatures/races use different magic. Do the Isparians use magic from Ispar? Or is it a completely new path of magic on Ispar than it is on Dereth? How did the Isparians learn it so quickly if it is native to Dereth? or if that is the case how is it that the magic from Ispar functions on Dereth as well (not to mention the fact that all our components are convienent in Dereth) So what is the source of our magic and the magic of the other races? |

| Answer: | Magic is assumed to be a constant in the universe that the worlds of Auberean and Ispar inhabit. It's a fundamental force, like gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. It obeys identical, quantifiable rules from world to world. For details on the differences between magic in Dereth and on Ispar, you may want to read "Meditations on the Abyss" on the MS Zone. |
