==Ley Lines==
===Origins===

Before intelligent life, magic covered the world in eddies and flows with occasional concentrated pools at important events. Much like the sea.
Some lines are formed temporarily along tidal waves or earthquake fronts.
As the tectonic plates stabilised, lines formed at their edges becoming more permanent. These lines are clased as Static.
Intelligent life began worship of natural forces - especially destructive and localised ones. Creating larger pools of Magic around natural events. As these religions spread to other areas, so too did the pool of magic. Creating another line.
In general all lines of Magic prefer to connect to other lines rather than to end abruptly. This stabilises the flow somewhat, like the currents of an ocean.
The invention of churches and temples over sacred areas led to Dynamic Ley Lines. As Holy Days, rituals and events were introduced, these changed to Variable Ley Lines.
Currently the only Dynamic lines are linked to natural events, magical unique artefacts and cults/sacrificial altars.
===Types of Ley Line===

====Dynamic====
The Magic varies in pulses along its length. A sine wave oscillation.
Where they occur

Permanent: between sacrificial altars, magical artefacts
Temporary: between battlefields, natural events
====Static====
The amount of Magic along the length of the line remains relatively constant and does not vary by much over very long periods of time.

;Permanent: between shrines and places of power
;Temporary: between mages casting the same spell

====Variable====
The Magic varies in a uniform manner along its length. Usually increasing around Holy Days and festivals.

Permanent: between churches
Temporary: between festivals and holiday celebrations.

===When do they change===

'''Dynamic''' - A new pulse is generated each sacrifice and travels the line until it is used.
'''Static''' - Never
'''Variable''' - Every service or special ceremony.
