Editing Immortal (section)

==Spheres==
Five Spheres, representing the five foundational elements of reality itself, serve as the ultimate power behind the Mystaran Immortals. These Spheres are '''Matter''', '''Energy''', '''Time''', '''Thought''', and '''Entropy'''. Mystaran [[fey]] claim that, in a distant age, Matter/Energy/Time/Thought were actually a singular Sphere called "Life" whilst ''Entropy'' was the one broken into four components; the fey are remnants of that cosmic era, and are confident that one day the change will reverse and the Spheres will shift in nature once again.

'''Energy''' is heavily associated with the Element of Fire and the Chaotic alignment. Its purpose is to create more activity and energy; Immortals of Energy favor change, revolution, innovation, rebellion and upheaval. This Sphere is strongly aligned with magic, which is in many ways its purest expression. Energy opposes Thoughts efforts to control it and seeks to transmute Matter into more Energy, so it might hold off the ravages of Time.

'''Entropy''' is heavily associated with the Element of Void and the Chaotic alignment. It is the ultimate balancer of the other four elements, existing to tear down and destroy whatever they have created, but at the same time only able to exist because it has the other Spheres to define itself against. Another way to describe it might be as the Sphere of Death. It seeks to destroy Matter, dissipate Energy, cause Time to stagnate and stop new Thought. In practice, Entropy is treated as the "Evil Sphere" and PCs aren't allowed to become Entropic Immortals, who basically fill the roles of [[Demon Prince]]s and [[Archdevil]]s in the other versions of the D&D [[multiverse]].

'''Matter''' is heavily associated with the Element of Earth and the Lawful alignment. It stands for sturdiness and stability, and exists to withstand disruption and decay. Matter is the Sphere that governs the physical aspects of creation, and culturally is associated with law, stability, hierarchy and tradition. Ironically, it is easily transmuted into new forms and so is also the Sphere of Variety. It opposes Time's efforts to cause change and provides Thought with existing order.

'''Time''' is heavily associated with the Element of Water and the Neutral alignment. As well as the obvious role of defining and safeguarding time, so [[chronomancer]]s or other idiots can't undo all of causality, it seeks to promote change in all things; like water, it ebbs and flows, recycling the lessons of the past to remind the present. As a Sphere, Time is the force of creation and shaping, manifesting itself through aging and rebirth. It is opposed to Matter's efforts to withstand change, depletes Energy, and teaches Thought the lessons of history.

'''Thought''' is heavily associated with the Element of Air and has no specific Alignment affilitations.  This Sphere seeks to categorize all of existence and to subvert the other Spheres into its tools with which to do so. In many ways, the Sphere of Thought is the very essence of the Immortals; realization, philosophy and understanding all in one. Thought seeks to analyze everything. It opposes the chaotic excesses of Energy, and attempts to manipulate the effects of Time to create order and form in Matter.
