Terminology and Factors

Terminology

Aether

Aether is magical energy in its purest form, unaltered by sentience and will. All living things contain small amounts of aether which acts as a fuel for life.

Magic

Magic is aether which has formed a spell, generally visible to the naked eye after having passed through a sentient wilful caster.

The Tolus

The tolus is an invisible atmosphere containing all aether and surrounding the world in layers that permeate the physical realm.

Cannas

Aether moves in flows of cannas within the tolus, which move in similar scales to oceanic tides or weather patterns.

Venas

An invisible vena forms between a wilful sentient caster and a canna, moving aether into the caster until the desired quantity is stored.
