What is known
inside the age.

01

An unusual exception

Emergent magic is usually easier to discover than fundamental magic. Summoning appears last despite being internally emergent; the reason is deliberately not yet documented.

02

Historical position

Its discovery opens the Age of Principalities. The Shattering follows only after all fourteen known forms of magic already exist.

03

What remains open

Its first plane, subjects, reach, constraints, dangers and relationship to Warlockism remain to be defined.

03 / World coordinates

One discovery.
Many consequences.
