Weave Unraveling

The Fateless woke on June 29 437 to a Weave Unraveling happening within a mile of them. Pulses of blue running slow and rhythmic over the grass.

Portals typically allow the translocation of energy, magic, and matter through two points in space, sometimes spanning different dimensions and points in space. Typically, a portal that links the Material to another plane tends to leak some of the destination's magic- as the Material was formed out of Elemental Balance, a shift in locational influence can easily begin a cascade of small changes.

This phenomenon reminds Riga of what is happening, but she knows it is different. This is a rare occurrence, something that researchers rarely get to witness directly, and often only revel in the results of. Somehow, you have stumbled into a Weave Unraveling. Like a small burst of Wild Magic, an Unraveling happens when the local Weave is naturally manipulated in just the right way, releasing some of its energy in the process of stabilizing. This typically happens when something has caused it to become far too dense, like the removal of a natural consumer in the area or the presence of some blockage. This is only theory, however, as the phenomenon has yet to be replicated naturally.

What it means is that the Weave is releasing itself into the area, generally temporarily aiding in the growth of plants, improving the quality of local water, air, and soil, and sometimes causing the spontaneous mutation of regular fauna and flora into those that feed off of the Weave. Although this is a beautiful and rare phenomenon, it has the potential to carry danger. The wrong creature or object present within it might cause serious consequences, just as the right conditions may cause the area to flourish for decades.

Its radius can span from a couple of feet to hundreds, but never more than a thousand. Beyond that point, it becomes something else entirely.

It is indeed possible for an Unraveling to affect the Weave of spellcasters.

On dispelling:

Unravelings are extremely rare to witness, so most of the material recordings surrounding them are due to their aftereffects, and brief observations of the shockwaves. Typically, it's noted that Unravelings go away by themselves, but it's not unheard of for wizards and other spellcasters to try to make use of or forcibly stop such phenomena, whether it be portals or nodes of power.
