Assignments all done, woohoo! (at least for the moment) *celebrates*. So, this is a segment that I put in for my folio outline under fantastical elements, and since I've begun writing the folio its taken up more attention. I've hesitantly called the idea Wicca, but I'm not sure on the name and if it has too many connotations with witches... :S
Magic/Wicca: The Wicca is the magical plane/world that extends over the physical plane of Geedrius(the world the story is set). All magic is sourced from the Wicca. In some cultures, the Wicca is known as Mana. Wicca/Mana are interchangeable with the word magic – essentially they all mean the same thing.
All manner to magical beings live in the Wicca, however, most people cannot see them.
Does the above idea clash with anyone's preconceived ideas of Wicca?

Given Wicca is a 'naturish' religion... yeah I don't know.
People of that faith probably wouldn't appreciate the useage of 'their' word. On the other hand, maybe not so uptight as other religions.
Hope you don't mind my commenting, I swam across from self.net...
lol, any comments are awesome :) According to wikipedia Wicca was something like the witches religion - i'm not sure if it's practiced anymore. I should probably find out...
Yea, i agree that the word 'wicca' might have some connotations for witches and you probably don't want those in your story (unless it IS actually about witches!) ;)
Mana is a very familiar word for many gamers, and they will know what it means (which might also not be such a good thing, since it might simplify the concept too much for your purposes).
So yea, probably try and make up another word for it. What that word might be, i don't know...... sorry no help there! lol
