Powers

The powers which shape the existence of are spread over three domains in a hierarchal fashion, with the physical realm being the lowest tier, the magical realm in between and the spiritual realm being the highest tier.

The Physical Realm
The Physical Realm consists of the elements that shape the world. These most common elements would earth, fire, water, wind and lightening. To wield these elements, would be to wield brute physical force. It is the world most known and understood by mortal races.

The Magical Realm
The Magical Realm contains the links between the elements of the physical realm. A wielder of magic is thus able to manipulate these energies. However, far from understanding and controlling these energies, the mortal races can only hope to influence these energies after careful study and experimentation of their outcome. Only the gods are able to see and feel magic energy itself and wield it in the fashion the mortal races would wield a sword.

The Spiritual Realm
The Spiritual Realm consists of space and time. It is the realm where all possibilities and instances of reality are gathered. A godly practitioner of magic would be able to influence the outcome of time and space through careful study in the same way mortals influence the outcome of magical energies, but he would not be able to control the energies themselves. Only the brightest and most learned of gods are able to make significant use of spiritual energies.
