Weave

The Weave is a magical network that encompasses the nation of Ellondoth. It enables instantaneous telepathic communication, facilitates the sharing and storage of mental information, and functions as a conduit of not only arcane energy but also magical incantations. Spells and meta-magic constructs can be accessed by any citizen with their runecharms, making possible the use of magic for everyone regardless of magical talent.

Properties

The main properties of the Weave are the following:
Long-distance Communication. All citizens of Ellondoth can be connected to one another telepathically via the Weave. These connections can be one-on-one or in groups. Communication can be based on text, voice, feelings or even mental images.
Long-distance Entertainment. In addition to being a medium of communication, the Weave is a repository of culture and thus offers countless entertainment options. Through illusions, enchantment and conjuration high elves can enjoy music and other art from the comfort of their own homes if teleporting to the venue of their choice is too much of a bother. Entertainment can be manifested as sensory perceptions within the patron's home -- or even within their mind.
Weavedreaming. Perhaps the most groundbreaking innovation made possible by the Weave is the magical storage of memories within the Weave. These experiences can then be accessed by others, being fed directly into the minds of the subject with mental magics. The gathering, production and sale of these memories are an emerging market in Ellondoth, for weavedreaming-- as the activity is often called -- has become exceedingly popular. This popularity might be due to the novelty of the concept of dreaming, for elves naturally do not sleep and thus get to experience dreams.
Font of Knowledge. Knowledge is stored within the Weave in staggering quantities. Citizens can access knowledge in a variety of ways ranging from simple text to the most life-like mental experiences. Knowledge that is stored within the Weave ranges from history to prose, from the arts to scientific analyses, and from the most trivial topics of every-day life to the most profound philosophical treatises.
Spells For All. Spells and metamagic constructs are sold freely via the Weave. These spells are purchased with the currency called Glyph and then stored and cast with runecharms. Any high elf can cast reality-bending spells with their runecharm without the need for any magical talent.
Weavecrafting. The seemingly limitless access to highly advanced magic has transformed the infrastructure of Ellondoth. All goods can be created with magic. This holds true for industry but also for citizens -- instead of purchasing a new table from a woodcrafter, a high elf can purchase a table-creating spell from a spell vendor in the Weave. The buyer then casts this spell in their home to produce the table. Most of Ellondothan industry has transformed from production to spellcraft, for to create something with a spell you first need to design that spell. There are propably countless different spells for creating tables alone, with the simplest spells being cheap and creating simple pieces but the most lavish and highly designed tables requiring spells that are extremely costly to purchase.

Practical application

The physical components necessary for facilitating the Weave are the following:

• Runic repositories house the complex matrices of incantations that compose the Weave
• Runecharms allow individual citizens to access the Weave and its contents
• Rune currents provide the nation of Ellondoth with sufficient magical energy required for spellcasting of this magnitude on this scale

Benefits

The implications of the Weave on Ellondothan society are absolutely profound, having entirely transformed the industry, commerce and culture of the high elves. The all-permeating presence of the Weave is perhaps the single most critical cornerstone supporting the high elven way of life. For every high elf even the most mundane aspects of every day life can be performed with more easily with magic, and it would not be hyperbole to say that the applications of the Weave are, in fact, endless.

Access and availability
The Weave is an application of runemagic unique to Ellondoth. The high elves have so far managed to keep it a secret from other civilizations.
Utility
The Weave facilitates a slew of services for the citizens of Ellondoth: telepathic communication with others, access to vast troves of culture and knowledge, the purchase and casting of spells and other magical services, to name a few.
Manufacturing
The Weave is an intangible magical construct, its infrastructure tied intrinsically to the rune currents and runic repositories of Ellondoth. Encompassing the entire nation, the Weave is no longer expanded in a physical sense, but its functions are being further developed by high elf arcanists.
Complexity
The Weave is effectively an extension of the arcane workings of runic repositories. As such, it is among the most advanced forms of spellcraft that have ever been practiced by mortals or eternals alike. There is an endless amount of potential depth to what can be achieved by spellcraft within the Weave.

Future development

The Weave and its arcane workings are constantly being developed by high elf arcanists. Moreover, due to its availability to the public domain and its intrinsic link to Ellondothan culture and commerce, the Weave is constantly being expanded with new forums, marketplaces, communities, and forms of entertainment.

Discovery

The Weave is effectively an extension of the arcane workings of runic repositories, arising from the linking of numerous repositories into a network and making them communicate with each other. As such, the invention of the Weave arose from the discovery of the runic repositories, and like those magical artifacts, the Weave was initially conceived by the Oracle.
