The holistic body of existence is supported by seven foundational Pillars of Being. The powers that are available within a particular realm of magic are the result of that realm's area of concentration. Each realm has a primary pillar that establishes the focus for its practitioners. In addition, each realm has two secondary pillars that comprise peripheral influences on the inherent nature and philosophy of its practice. The only exception is with respect to sorcery, which places equal importance upon its two primary pillars. Each pillar and its relative domain is set forth below.
