Magis is a name some scholars have given to the raw essence of magic. It is a unique form of exotic matter that permeates the
multiverse. It is believed that it functions as a fundamental force that holds everything together, and in ancient times it was called the “Breath of Gods.”
Magic is the act of manipulating magis to produce supernatural effects. On Erdos this is a science and those that practice it are called magicians.
Magis Mist
Magis is everywhere in the
multiverse but it is so dispersed that it is essentially invisible. However, on extremely rare occasions, magis condenses to such a degree that it becomes visible and takes on the form of a multicolored, billowing, scintillating fog with mild reflective properties, giving it a kaleidoscopic appearance. This is called
magis mist.
Magis mists are highly toxic to creatures and can cause harm even by mere contact with skin. On Erdos—as well as other magicant worlds—the manifestation of magis mists is a relatively common phenomenon compared to the rest of the multiverse.
Magicant
On extremely rare occasions, magis solidifies into a unique variety of quartz known as
magicant. There are a rare few planets that this phenomenon is a common occurrence, enabling its inhabitants to regularly mine it. These worlds are called
Magicant Worlds.
Magis in Outer Space
In some regions of the
Physical Universe, magis is condenced enough to form kaleidoscopic nebulae. These are not as dense as the magis mists found in magicant planets, and as such, they are not toxic. In fact, they alter the astrophysical properties of space in a way that makes it less inimical to life. These prismatic regions are called
wildspace.
