Magic

Magic in the First Dimension is extremely limited.

What one can do, if they have a strong enough willpower and soulpower to source their own energy AND they are in a thin strip of reality, is create small Voidchannels. These Voidchannels can be inverted and manipulated, but it's limit of soul manipulation makes it only useful for violence or transportation.

Magic in the Second Dimension is extremely extensive. A mortal wishing to use magic would have a few options:

- Start a cult worshipping them, eventually ascending them to minor godhood

- Intercepting the death of a Great One so that the Rule of 103 allows them to absorb it' s power

- Feed off of energy from past corpses of Great Ones

- Tap into the Soulstream

- Align themself with a Planar Array

- Accomplish a deity's goals as a champion

- Become an Olive Tree

A magic user wishing to ascend to minor godhood would require thousands to worship them, until they eventually gain enough energy. Reality warping of 1st dimension items, flight, immortality, and manipulation of energy can all be done at will by these deities.

A magic user absorbing Great One energy would have a finite supply, which they would be able to manipualate in any way they liked. However, this absorbtion would require supernatural powers anyway.

A magic user tapping into the soulstream would have to first

1. Dissociate from the planar array without accidentally leaving. A delicate mental process which could result in death if failed, this allows the magic user to view the Soulstream. This can be done by artificially creating fear, entering a state of partial meditation, or by accident.

2. Reach out to the Soulstream, and absorb small, unnoticable amounts of energy not to incur the wrath of the gods

3. Expel the energy so that it is not lethal, and weave / knead it into a more solid
