| In the **Will Story multiverse**, **universal magic**—known locally on Myrah as **arcana** and on ancient Earth as the ether (or aether) by philosophers and as awen, qi/ki, or gi by legendary magicians such as Merlin and his East Asian counterparts—is the ethereal energy that permeates all matter and can be wielded to affect the visible world. It is not created or destroyed, only moved, shaped, and recycled. Arcana exists in every dimension and planet, but its concentration, purity, and flow differ wildly from world to world. | In the **Shatter The World** multiverse, **universal magic**—known locally on Myrah as **arcana** and as the ether (or aether), awen, qi/ki, or gi by legendary magicians such as Merlin and his East Asian counterparts on [[Earth]]—is the ethereal life energy that permeates all matter and can be wielded to affect the visible world. It is not created or destroyed, only moved, shaped, and recycled. Arcana exists in every dimension and planet, but its concentration, purity, and flow differ wildly from world to world. Life holds Arcana like a metaphysical reservoir; constantly sensing and emitting waves of sensory-related energy drawn from the God-source (the universal wellspring). This makes Arcana both a reflection of the wielder’s inner world and a bridge to the greater cosmos. |
