Magic

The true nature of Magic in the Realms is a matter of debate unlikely to ever be truly resolved. It presents itself as a system of hard and fast rules and spells at its surface, with more flexible, but less predictable undercurrents, known as Leylines as a sort of framework. Deeper and more mysterious truths have been glimpsed by those who can peek behind the veil, but such information is exceedingly rare and treasured.

Magic is loosely grouped into disciplines or Schools, though some overlap has been shown to exist between them. It can be cast as a Spell, or as a Ritual, and Spells may be modified with Incantations or Glyphs, likely other methods exist as well.
