Dreams are where fantasy is made reality, if only for a short time. The threads of imagination where anything is possible if you but will it so...
There are plenty of men and elves who can control the course of their dream, but they still cannot actively wander the fade in it's true state. They can only manipulate their personal, temporal stays. Their hold to the world no more fleeting than the wind on one's cheek.
[Sydni shifted, laying one arm across the back of the couch as he gave his words some thought.]
I am never really certain how to describe the Fade for one who has never been there and cannot actively walk it in the same manner I can. Even to other mages who have yet to go there. It's something one has to experience to understand. It's not something any kind of learning really prepares you for. Particularly the dangers that lie within it. Those without magic are blessed in that respect, they do not have to worry about the dangers. Their presence in the Fade is so ephemeral they are largely ignored.
But we were discussing the ties magic has to the Fade. It's very sensible really. The Fade is where one can will anything into being if they have but the strength of heart and clarity of vision to create it. Magic brings a small part of the fade into the world to shape it as the mage sees fit. Usually along already established lines and using rules long since learned, but that is because our world cannot be changed so easily just through the strength of one's conviction.
