Magic is found as specific abilities of supernatural creatures (many of which are intelligent) and in the exotic properties of various substances (like Calledronite)
Many different supernatural creatures and substances are found throughout the polycosm. Most effects work in most universes, but there are some worlds that shut down most magic and some magic that only works on a few worlds.
Most magic works on Calledron, and the local flavor of mage retains their power on most worlds. 'Mage' seems to be a semi-genetic trait passed to parent to child. Calledron mages mostly work with kinetic energy. They can fly, form walls of force, throw objects around, and even perform delicate motions. They also seem to be able to see through objects and around corners. Archmages have the same abilities, and come from the same population, but are far more powerful, throwing objects many times the limit of a normal mage. The secret to their power is unknown, but its widely speculated that each has access to a power source that lets them lift faster, heavier, and farther. This magic requires hand motions to direct it, particularly to use large amounts of power.
Others with their own genetic magic live on Calledron, as well as alchemists who merely achieve diverse effects via exotic substances (such as Calledronite).

What shape is the world or cosmos of the mother plains?
