Many scholars of the Collegiate Arcane theorise that is attractive force is how the Realmspheres of each Mortal Realm formed. Each of the eight Mortal Realms embodies magic of a single color or particular trait and, therefore, that type of magic is stronger and easier to cast there, through wizards will have no problems with casting magics of other realms there. Magic particles can be refracted into components of different color, with each of these having their own elemental characteristic, attracted to each other by cosmic laws. Slann starmasters claim that magic comes from even older beings than themselves and deeply related to a eternal struggle between those beings and a corrupting menace that lies beyond reality.Orruks believe that magic came from a indigestion Gorkamorka had after eating large number of defeated primal monsters and would vomit magic in chunks.The Collegiate Arcane believes that magic comes from the destruction of the World-That-Was releasing it into the void where it would later form the mortal realms.Some of the known theories of origin are: In its place each organisation and races has different theories and legends on where the magic originally came from, many tying it to their own creation myths, and it is not know which is true or if they all contain a degree of truth. The Pantheon of Order originally taught the mortal races how to harness magic, but the Age of Chaos destroyed all records of the formal history of the development of arcane arts. Sometimes when raw magic meets reality, which might be from a natural process that takes a long time or a great metaphysical process, it solidifies into realmstone. Some supernatural creatures are gifted with uncanny traits due to magic, like the spirit-life of a Cairn Wraith or the eternal fires of the Flamespyre Phoenix. Other places also draw more magic to themselves, like geomantic pylons, ley lines, temples and realmgates. So dangerous is magic at its edges, that few who visited it have returned with their sanity intact, most not returning at all. Magic is not distributed evenly across the mortal realm, thinner at its centre growing strength as it gets close to its edges, with the opposite being true for the Realm of Shyish after the Necroquake. Traces of their existence is found in nearly every environment, on the wind, bedrock, flora or fauna.
