Weave

Synopsis
The Weave is a magical construct, created by the gods of Materi when they formed the planet. Its function is to constrain and give structure to Primordial Chaos, the essential energy of the world, and the source of all life and matter.

Application for Magic
The Weave can be manipulated by arcanists to create magical effects - a practice known as arcane magic. Arcane magic is fueled by Primordial Chaos, and its practitioners manipulate the structure of the Weave to create magical effects.

Structure
The Weave is comprised of Ley Lines - bands of arcane force deep within Materi, that constrain the Primordial Chaos at the planet's core. These ley lines wax and wane in phases, producing effects known as Zeniths (see Ley Phases and Zeniths).
