This really reminds me of me trying to explain physics earlier and the whole two substances matter and energy and the drawing of structure... equilibrium and all that NESS

Sometimes I wish I had my resources from the last time I tried to explain this but well I have no clue what may have happened to them.

Though I do have my explanation of physics on file somewhere.
Part of the explanation of the veil goes along with the explanation of physics and that whole thing there. And the way that the realms work when there is no influences structureing it.

I mean... to understand some of this you would have to understand how things are when they lack context and how things can be when given context and the importance of providing meaning for things...

I think I will try to write it out at some point in like detail and post it somewhere....

Hmm...dunno about it falling, but I do know that it is naturally weak in some areas. Particularly areas of untouched wilderness. There are these tiny tears that give off some mega-vibes. So mega are those energies, that even I can feel them! And I suck at detection!


Explanation here is that people actually strengthen the veil in a sence as they strengthen the laws of this realm by believing in them and supporting there being.

Remember other peoples wills play into the creation and stability of any active element. If people can break the veil through belief and can slip past it people can also make it harder to slip past and harder to affect even if they aren't actively trying. Reason why it can be easier to slip past along with from what I know the veil has to be maintained as most anything needs to be maintained.

People imprint there beliefs on the world and its harder to interact with places that are heavily imprinted and the meanings are already assigned so to speak.


Ah, but we can't assume that everything responds to one's will. I certainly don't operate under that theory. The Veil is not something that can be morphed simply due to someone's will. The thinly veiled areas I'm speaking about are thin mostly because there's been no interaction with them.

iol, explain your theory. And, I think we got lost on the Will topic, lets move to something else. Someone give me a recap of why not to bring the Veil down, I got mired down in the thread.

Lol, it did get kind of messy, huh? Fun at times though!

My theory is that the Veil acts as a type of boundry between the physical, metaphysical, and astral realms. So there's technically more than one but its more...solid when its seperating the physical realm and the other realms. What this means is that while entities can pass through this boundry, most magic energy cannot. This is why we don't see things like fireballs and such. We can't do much with magic, regardless of how much we'd like to forget that fact.
Now, the Veil is not one uniform boundry. It can be weaker and stronger in certain areas. If its strong, than one might find it harder to find spirits or use magic. If the Veil is weaker, than there will be more spirits and magic will be found easier to use. Normally the Veil's weak spots are in isolated, natural areas. A stronger Veil is usually found in areas where there is a lot of urban civilization, but they can be found in another areas and are part of the reason why some areas are called 'Dead Zones' (little or no magical energy or spirits).
I could be wrong on this but I've done some hands-on experience, as it were. I used to live in a dead zone and after I moved to Washington, I found a lot of magic energy as well as a great deal of spirits. Further investigation showed several areas with a weaker boundry, or Veil.
