Inside the quiet guest room, Soren slowly closed his eyes and began to sense the magical network, commonly known by spellcasters as the Weave. The Weave was an invisible energy force field that existed in many places across the Multiverse. Its greatest function was to help spellcasters construct spell formulas, and then condense the power existing in nature, ultimately forming and storing various spell slots. Once the spell slots were stored, one only needed casting gestures and verbal components to activate them, allowing for the rapid extraction of nearby energy to cast spells.
The energy in nature itself was very turbulent and not easily controlled. Without the restrictions of the Weave, casting spells would become vastly more difficult!
Another function of the Weave was to limit the abilities of spellcasters, preventing certain spellcasters who were so powerful that even the gods feared them from disrupting the balance of Order. It was something that helped spellcasters with insufficient talent cast spells more easily while restricting those with extraordinary talent from threatening the domain of the gods. Overall, the Weave was still a very important thing, because without its existence, the number of spellcasters in the entire world would decrease by about ninety percent.
The Faith Network of the gods was also connected to the Weave, though it existed at the highest layer of the Weave. Divine Magic was the power fed back through the Power of Faith. The Weave helped spellcasters manipulate energy, and normal spellcasters could all touch the outermost surface of the magical network.
