> *"All magic is but a whisper borrowed from Quintessence."* ## Description Quintessence is the Plane of Magic, an otherworldly realm from which all arcane power originates. Though unseen by most, its influence is felt wherever spells are cast or enchanted relics are forged. --- ## Lore Unlike the Mortal Plane, Quintessence is not governed by the laws of nature. It is a realm of pure magical energy where reality is fluid and possibility has no limit. Every spell briefly draws upon its boundless power before taking shape in the world. Few have ever glimpsed Quintessence, and fewer still understand it. Scholars debate whether it is a true plane, an endless ocean of arcane energy, or something beyond mortal comprehension. Whatever the truth, it remains the wellspring from which all magic flows. ---
