A '''leyline''' is a single thread in the tapestry of the '''ley''', a complex web of lines of power deep beneath the earth of [[Sapience]] and indeed all of [[Aetolia]]. This network is formed from the interactions of the planes; [[list of leyline nexus|major leylines]] are formed by the intersection of large, stable bodies, while the smaller, shifting leylines are formed from the interactions of more unstable planes.

This network is formed from the interactions of the planes; [[list of leyline nexus|major leylines]] are formed by the intersection of large, stable bodies, while the smaller, shifting leylines are formed from the interactions of more unstable planes. When these lines of power become saturated with [[ylem]], they release their excess in bursts of power called foci which are then able to be harvested by those with the requisite training. | ||
