Hi, all. I thought I would present something to you guys, which you may or may not be interested in. The premise here is a "what if?" of sorts. The idea is to showcase magic for a fantasy space setting. I'm not so sure this would work for Spelljammer, but it may work for some other fantasy space setting altogether. Whatever the case, I sort of like this look at magic. So, without further ado, I present my view of fantasy space magic. -------------------------- In the BeginningÂ… Before space, before time, before existence as we know it, was the Celestial Mother. The Celestial Mother encompassed all that was; her very essence was the sum of all reality. Yet the Celestial Mother was not infinite. She discovered that she was dying. Despite her near-infinite power, she could not cease the end of her existence. Hear death lasted thousands and millions of years, as all of her being collapsed in upon itself, dying down to one finite point. At this moment, the universe as we know it was born. >From the death of the Celestial Mother, new life was born. The magic and power of the Celestial Mother permeated everything. From death came life. From her singular being came millions of smaller beings. Arcane Magic (Celestial Magic) The body of the Celestial Mother became the building blocks of our universe. The stars, planets, moons, and other celestial bodies carry a piece of the Celestial Mother with them, each one carrying a portion of her power. >From the bodies of the universe comes the arcane might of Celestial Magic. Celestial Magic draws upon the creative and elemental powers of the Celestial Mother. Arcane magic-users draw their power from Celestial Magic, as do the solar sails, which make spelljamming possible. Divine Magic (Soul Magic) The very essence and life force of the Celestial Mother is the foundation stone for life within the universe. Each one of us carries a portion of the Celestial Mother with us. Those whose life essences are particularly strong gain power from the life energies of the Celestial Mother, giving them divine power. -------------------------- Enjoy! Trampas
