+The Department of Metahuman Control ([[DMC]]) recognizes the ever-increasing impact of magic on global security, stability, and the balance of power. As such, understanding its sources has been a priority of this department. This report details our findings on the origins and primary sources of magic.
-**The Ethereal Void:**
+===== I. IDENTIFIED SOURCES OF MAGIC: =====
-  * A vast, limitless space beyond our known dimensions.
+==== The Ethereal Void ====
-  * It is believed that raw magical energies flow from this void into our world, creating a naturally occurring ambient magic field.

-Harnessing directly from the Ethereal Void is treacherous and can lead to unpredictability in spell outcomes.
+==== Celestial Alignments ====
+    * The positions and movements of celestial bodies have been observed to influence magical potency.
+    * Some ancient texts suggest that certain stars, planets, or phenomena, when aligned, can serve as conduits for amplified magical energies.
-**Celestial Alignments:**
+==== Nexus Points ====
+    * Specific locations around the world where the veil between dimensions is thin.
+    * These locations tend to have amplified magical resonance, making them sought-after for rituals and power amplifications.
-  * The positions and movements of celestial bodies have been observed to influence magical potency.
+==== Avalon - The Hollow Realm ====
-  * Some ancient texts suggest that certain stars, planets, or phenomena, when aligned, can serve as conduits for amplified magical energies.
+    * An interdimensional space beneath our Earth, inhabited by the [[Avalon | Avalonians]].
+    * Acts as a major conduit for magical energy and is the most easily accessible source for modern [[magickers | magicians]].
+    * While DMC cannot exert control over Avalon itself, magic can be drawn from it under proper rituals and techniques.
-**Nexus Points:**
+==== Ancient Artifacts & Tomes ====
+    * Objects from bygone eras imbued with potent magic or containing knowledge of ancient spells and rites.
+    * Their origins are often shrouded in mystery, and their powers vary widely.
