If seepage between worlds causes physics to seep through like I've read, then every time we thought about or breathed we created a new plane we would have to be connected through the planar void in some way... So the physics of whatever plane was created would have to be seeping back thorugh I think?"

> Timorias says, "I'm easy to miss."

> Jaelia asks Timorias, "If it helps, I find set theory a lot easier when dealing with multiple sets of infinity that can be of various different shapes and sizes as a visualization if that helps?"

> You notice as a pristine white arctic bear with hoarfrost hues shakes furiously for a moment.

> research field 300

You realize that your project about Mana Field Theory only requires 135 more seconds of research, so you adjust your plans accordingly.

You expertly coach yourself into an emotional rage that you keep only the most fragile control over. In your state of imbalance, you reach beyond the mana streams and attempt to chart the invisible by the influences it imposes on what can be seen.

> > prep cantrip stone seat

You are now prepared to cast the Stone Seat cantrip.

> gesture

You gesture, and a smooth eruption of rock rises from the ground with a low rumble, shifting and flowing fluidly before settling into a seat of stone. You walk over to it and sit down.

s> Timorias asks, "On that note, is it possible to travel to other planes say, via the Plane of electricity Or does one need to return to a starting point to go to a scond?"

s> You notice a lissome russet panther with rivulets of azure rippling through its fur sniff at you for a moment.

s> Kethrai quietly says, "Technically, that one could be tested... If someone brought a shard of Grazhir with them into the Plane of Electricity. See if the Astral Plane is accessible there, find out if those two share a border."

s> Siendra says, "The Elemental Planes - Water, Earth, Aether, Fire, and Electricity - are truly my favorite. For the obvious reasons and the less obvious."

s> Elurora asks Kethrai, "Do they need to share a border?"

s> You notice as a sleek squirrel stretches up on its hind legs to look around.

s> The warm air swirling around you stills and begins to cool.

s> s> s> You notice a sleek squirrel rub against you for a moment.

s> Timorias asks, "The reason I ask is because of the "blotch" or "star" the Moon Mages have been seeing, couldn't that just be a rift to another plane that hasn't widened yet?"

s> You notice as a sleek squirrel looks up at you with bright eyes.

s> Kethrai twitches an ear nervously.

s> Lupdels says, "That sounds bad."

s> Coethi says, "I mean... You can see it too. If you look up."

s> Siendra says to Elurora, "If there are weak points, it's possible."

s> Aetheline asks, "Do Shadowlings come from a Plane?"

s> s> Elurora asks Timorias, "I thought Alfar were from our plane? Are they not?"

s> Lupdels's voice takes on an almost lyrical quality as he launches into the chorus of Faenella's Grace, each word flowing to the next with a seamless ease.

s> Kystrk stares intently into his moonblade.

Kystrk's moonblade ripples like the disturbed surface of a pond.

s> s> You notice as a sleek squirrel wiggles its whiskers.

s> Siendra says, "It must be said, as we are all quite split, we do need to bear in mind that we do draw on these planes. And we have found passage into the Plane of Electricity."

s> Timorias chuckles.

s> s> s> s> Lupdels says, "As if the metaphysics of all this wasn't complicated enough ..."

s> Uryutis says, "Perceiving anything from the elemental planes, not including Electricity, would itself require perceptual modifications or translations."

s> You notice a pristine white arctic bear with hoarfrost hues sniff at Kystrk for a moment.

s> Siendra says, "They lack spatial dimensions, time, and individuality. There are no individual forms as we would know. Literally only the element."

s> s> Siendra says, "Rin here..."

s> Siendra pets her russet panther.

s> Uryutis nods.

s> You notice as a pristine white arctic bear with hoarfrost hues yawns loudly showing a large row of teeth.

s> Kethrai nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views.

s> s> Siendra says to Kethrai, "That is a question that takes a whole nother talk, my friend."

s> Nebby says, "It's a shocking theory."

s> Uryutis grins at Siendra.

s> Lupdels tugs at the tip of his beard distractedly.

s> s> Elurora says, "If I were to take a guess, our plane is bleeding into theirs and theirs into ours, but I don't really know enough to do more than guess."

s> Elurora shrugs.

s> Siendra appears to be trying hard not to grin.

s> s> Lupdels says, "The other planes are a corrupting influence on our plane, and yet fascinating to study ..."

s> s> Siendra asks Lupdels, "But are they?"

s> Kethrai says, "Would explain the seordmaors on our side, and the... breathable air and walkable space on theirs."

s> You notice a pristine white arctic bear with hoarfrost hues sniff at Kystrk for a moment.

s> Lupdels nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views.

s> Siendra asks Lupdels, "I meant are they corrupting?"

s> Coethi nods.

s> s> Timorias says, "If you find it, I'd like to read it as well."

s> Lupdels coughs.

s> s> Siendra says, "They are endlessly fascinating, I agree."

s> s> You notice as a sleek squirrel twists around to clean its tail.

s> You notice a lissome russet panther with rivulets of azure rippling through its fur sniff at Kystrk for a moment.

You see Lady of Frostbite Siendra Vauns'Arotru, Frost Fang of Siksraja, a Rakash.

Siendra has a swirl of glittered snowflakes painted on each cheek, a single snow violet tinged with purple that rests behind one of her ears, thick-lashed speckled seafoam-green eyes and a freckled nose. Her silver- streaked dark brown hair is long and wavy, and is worn in a deceptively careless-looking arrangement of upswept locks held in place by a dainty circlet of Siksrajan apple blossoms and kuwinite strewn with ruby shards. She has warm caramel-hued skin and a slender figure.

She appears to be mature.

Her right hip has a tattoo of a sea-blue jellyfish with delicate silver-tinged tentacles.

She is in good shape.

She is holding a red book titled "Don't Dream It, Be It: Realizing your Dreams" in her left hand.

She is wearing a dark silver crown engraved with swirling snowflakes, an apple blossom charm, an elegant scabbard embroidered with a hunting scene in silver, a ceremonial odaj of snowflake tulle layered over icy blue uzil, a grey leather armband adorned with onyx carvings, a pair of cerulean raw silk vikses bearing elaborately embroidered cuffs, a plated leather thigh quiver inset with gems representing the elements and a pair of hiro bear pelt nauda held by sinew ties.
