HEREIN IS SEALED THE FABRIC AND THE WEAVER,
ABHORRENT ENEMY OF THE GREAT STAR EMPIRE

True Magic is a new force of nature, unbeholden to old measures of causality. It pervades the natural and, increasingly, artificial world. It is capable of many things technology is also able to achieve, such as allowing a human to breathe underwater, and some things technology could never hope to emulate, such as the reality-shattering Wish spell.


Twenty years ago, the Sanctioned somehow released True Magic upon the world, or such would their propaganda insist. The truth of the matter is somewhat unclear.
