Arcane classes introduction
The Weave permeates almost all of the world - including all planes. Sometimes it becomes thicker in the form of a Magic Nexus, sometimes it's weaker and creating a Magic Void, but it is what arcane spellcasters use to form spells.
A spell is a way to pull strands from the weave and form them into an effect. There are many ways to accomplish this, such as studying the nature of the weave itself in order to use that understanding to shape a spell. But others are born with the ability, learn to produce harmonies in the weave to achieve what they want, or make a deal with some entity who instil a connection to the weave. These types are known as wizards, sorcerers, bards, and warlocks respectively.
Magic Theory
There are two basic kinds of magic: divine, which uses the power of a deity, primordial, or nature itself; and arcane, which uses the weave. While the former typically relies on prayer and signs of reverence, the arcane relies on physical or spoken attempts to create reverbrations in the weave - sometimes aided by material components. This means anyone could theoretically access it, but it's not an easy task and requires a lot of talent along with skill. This means both that there are fairly few who truly master this craft, and that the ones who do often reach very important positions in society.Stellaris Academy
