I would say the rifts were definitely a result of the instability. They were opening at random and spitting out dangerous creatures, and then moving them to different places later on. It was difficult to track and impossible to control. We never really fixed it, the rifts just stopped. It could be the Singularity stepped in, but the truth is, we have no idea how.
[ That is something Barnabas might have to get used to here. Even Istredd who pays the most attention to facts and answers, and gives as much information as he possibly can, doesn't have answers for major things. Why certain events happen, what causes them, sometimes they know it's the gods or the Singularity, sometimes they don't know where anything came from. It's a strange sphere they're in, and they're also breaking apart time and space, so there is no rhyme or reason to the destruction going on. ]
I tap into a force known as Chaos in my sphere, it is not precisely what people use here, so I can't teach someone how to use it the same way. But they have a very strong type of magic in Thorne called Academic Magic. I have copied over several important books of theirs with instructions and spells into this very library, all you have to do is think of it and it will appear.
[ So if Barnabas would like to pratice magic here, he will have a resource to give him spells that will not be taken from his own source. Istredd suspects that he's like Dion and Cid in that his power is as much a curse as it is a boon. ]
Solvunn uses High Magic which is connected to praying to gods, and the Free Cities use a blend of Academic and technology. I have asked people to add books in here of what they've learned from the other territories, so there should be some. Anyone can add books to this place, it is public for a reason.
