Editing Mystra (section)

===Mystryl (2e arcane age)===
Born from the conflict between [[Selûne]] and [[Shar]], the original Mystryl was a Chaotic Neutral entity that was relatively flighty and carefree; A real rainbow chick.

She either created '''The Weave''', embodied it, or was a side effect of its creation, but in any case she was in charge of it. Her attitude towards the use of the weave was ''"do as you please, but just don't piss me off"'', which meant that magic wielders could perform spectacular feats that were unheard of in later times.

However, this also opened the weave up to abuse, where one particular spellcaster called '''[[Karsus]]''' decided to create a 12th level spell that would give himself control over the weave itself.

The spell worked... for all of five minutes. While he wrestled control over the weave from the goddess; he couldn't actually control it and caused magic all over the world to get screwed up. Destroying his own empire of floating cities and essentially reverting everything back to the stone ages.

Mystryl figured she'd rather die than let some idiot ruin the fundamental forces of magic, so she sacrificed herself to restabilise the weave and gave birth to her successor '''Mystra'''
