Magic in Avis

= Tel'Kanja (The Weave) = "'Spellcasters are arcanists and do not memorise spells – they merely pluck them out of the Kanja.'"The Kanja is the source of both arcane and divine spellcasting.

Raw magic is difficult for mortals to access safely. The Kanja works to protect the world from the dangers of unrefined magic while giving the ability to cast spells to magic users. Destroying the Kanja results in widespread destruction. Reckless use of magic can also damage the Kanja , creating areas of dead or wild magic where normal spellcasting doesn't work.

The Kanja is present in everything and, until she chose to gift a thread of it to the Tankela'edhel  of Tal En'Tankela, was part of the goddess Tankela'tura's body, who actively willed its effects. As described in earlier editions, when spellcasters would abuse magic, Tankela'tura' could cut off the spellcaster's ability to use magic.
