Spell Effect

For most people, the world around them is a rather

simple place to perceive. If they can touch, see, taste,

hear or smell it, it is real. Common perception does

not extend beyond this except in the musings of phi-

losophers and the workings of wizards, clerics and

similarly gifted beings. In order for almost everyone

else to cope with their own role in the wide range of

possibilities that is existence, “the world is what you

make of it” is a turn of phrase very much limited by

the five rudimentary senses.

through and from all things that partake of life. The

Living Weave is more pliable than the rest of the

Weave of Existence because it allows those properly

equipped to extend their senses throughout its threads

to gather information about the world around them

(see the Sense Living Weave feat.)

Illusions and the Weave

Because the Weave is such an animated, glorious

thing to behold and manipulate, it is also incredibly

difficult to imitate. When looking upon a woven il-

lusion meant to imitate life that has been erected by

anyone other than a fellow spellweaver, anyone able

to see/sense the Weave gains a +4 bonus to their

Disbelief save against that illusion and are allowed

a Disbelief save automatically rather than having to

first study the illusion.

For a much rarer few, existence itself is viewed as a

delicate lattice of energy and matter where every part

interacts with every other part, no matter how large or

small. Most such individuals cannot comprehend the

way their senses perceive the universe around them,

and so their brains either learn to block out the extra-

sensory data or they go mad trying to untangle what

they are experiencing. Others, however—the rarest of

the rare—actually learn to manipulate these patterns

to weave magical effects directly from this energy

rather than using filtering devices such as formulaic

recitation, divine intervention and the like. These in-

dividuals become spellweavers and for them magic

isn’t so much a matter of what you know as what you

want to do .

Anti-Magic and

the Weave

Just as effects such as dispel magic and antimagic

field will disrupt more well-known and conventional

types of magic, so too will it disrupt the Weave. The

Weave still exists when exposed to such effects—noth-

ing known can destroy or interrupt the Weave, after

all—but it no longer functions properly, nor can it be

accessed or manipulated by anyone until the interfer-

ence ends.

Hidden from all but those with this special percep-

tion, the Weave of Existence appears as fluorescent,

web-like, insubstantial threads connecting all things

and flowing with transient blue energies that pulse

and flicker like blood flowing through countless veins,

being pumped by innumerable hearts. Furthermore,

threads extending from and attached to living things

are far more vibrant and prone to frequent change

than those attributed to realities non-living compo-

nents, such as rocks, dirt and the like. Despite the

threads’ seeming fragility, this magical lattice is an

indestructible (so far as even the gods know) cosmic

force. Destroy the Weave? One may as well try to de-

stroy time or space. At best, one can decrease the flow

of magic through a small area so that accessing it to

any noteworthy degree becomes more difficult or out-

right impossible for a time.

The Weave On

Other Planes

The Weave is found in all planes of existence (so far

as anyone knows, that is), although its affects in each

may vary. Gamemasters are welcome to differentiate

the Weave’s influence from one plane to the next, as

suits their game, but added details suited to each are

appropriate, as is varying the potency of spellweaves.

For example, in Hell it could be ruled that all spell-

weaves have their range halved because the plane’s

oppressive nature slows the flow of energy through

the Weave. Contrariwise, in the Astral Plane all spell-

weaves are always considered influenced as though

by the Extend Spellweave and Maximize Spellweave

feats because the Weave there virtually overflows

with arcane energy.

The Living Weave

How the Weave travels through, comprises, and

extends from non-living objects is entirely different

than how it interacts with living creatures. This has

caused many spellweavers to label the latter portions

of the Weave the “Living Weave” while referring to

that portion which is attached to inanimate aspects of

reality as the “Dead Weave.”

The Living Weave

Whereas the Dead Weave, which flows through

rocks, dirt, air and the like, seems dull and practically

inanimate under most conditions, the Living Weave is

a vibrant, spectacular flow of excitement that dances

This chapter introduces a number of new feats

dealing with Spellweaving and/or the Weave. Also

provided is information on how existing feats interact
