The Magic of Spelljammer

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 Beginning…

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.
