  Wuudrahn is the god of magic, dreams, and mysteries. It is one of the three mystic gods, which preside over the mysteries of existence.   Wuudran's most prominent image is that of a mystic being with a crystal globe where the head would be, filled with white swirling clouds. A deeply scalloped collar surrounds the lower part of the globe above a robed body that is as thick as it is wide. The robes are glistening in shades of brilliant white, sparkling silver, pale gray, and bluish white. Its hands can be seen to be of a solid blue. He grasps a staff of many thin metal rods that are swirling and knotted as they wind in and out of one another. The length of it almost looks like an organic twisted branch. The top has several long narrow leaves overlapping to form a long trough. White fog slowly drifts out of the top. The base has the metal twisting around a globe-like blackness of absolutely no light with the metal forming a half-foot spike beneath the void. Wisps of black fogs drift from it as it moves. The robes always touch the ground, draping over things, but never become soiled or wet. No feet or legs are ever seen.   Wuudrahn may answer a call if the requestor can see his moon in the reflection of a still pond, lake, or a basin of water where the basin has magical properties . The apparition of the god is silent. The voice of the god seems to come from the air or more specifically from the moon in the sky if it is visible. And the voice is always that of the hearer themselves.   Wuudrahn sprinkles stardust/ring dust into sleeper's eyes to make them dream. Waking people will fall to sleep to dream or simply become semi-catatonic and daydream. It gathers dust from its globular head and pours it from its hand. The dust swirls like a dust devil and forms a 5' wide cylinder of swirling dust, emitting its own light. This can act as a gate to any realm Wuudrahn desires, but typically one he is likely to travel to, like the Dreamscape, Astral Plane, other materials in the Phlogiston, Inner Planes, or planes of its own creation.   The Ghost Moon(Ghostlight, Arclight) passes through gaps in the planetary rings. The moon descends into the Gap of the Unknown (associated with Wuudrahn). The gap it rises through is the Gap of Discovery (associated with The Pragenitory).   Wuudrahn is associated with the weave and all spellcasters. He can gift epiphanies to people--sudden knowledge and understanding by pulling away the shroud to free the knowledge to someone. The shroud of unknowing is everywhere.   Wuudrahn is said to build items of magical power for the other gods, crafting potions, spells, and wards.   Wuudrahn is the source of anti-magic as well. Lead, salts, and the witchworks of salted iron, magic burning candles, etc.
This above artwork by Nagy Norbert is called Spherehead. This is the closest visual to what I see in my head for the god Wuudrahn. When initially picturing the thick, almost barrel-like, hidden body, Kosh from Babylon 5 came to mind.
