Thus comes the question: What is the Weave? It is an essential element of the universe. It runs through everything in unseen threads. It is what makes magic possible. It is also, though I will not go into further detail here, the goddess Mystra herself. (See Magic of the Weave - Mystra and the Spellplague). | Thus comes the question: What is the Weave?

The Weave isn't magic, precisely. Rather, it is the raw material from which magic is woven, not entirely unlike how a collection of threads is shaped and formed into a garment. Those with the necessary talent and skill can manipulate the Weave and perform magic by casting spells. | The Weave isn't magic, precisely.

Developing this skill takes years of learning and constant practice. You might have heard of those who can cast spells because they are born with an innate connection to the Weave (commonly called Sorcerers), or worse, because they struck a bargain with an otherworldy creature (also known as Warlocks). Do not be deceived. Their magic is unpredictable, uncontrolled, and in some cases, not even rightfully theirs. | Developing this skill takes years of learning and constant practice.

No, to truly know and manipulate the Weave is an Art. But those Wizards who master it will know the limitless power and beauty the Weave provides. <!-- The text of the book.
