==The Nature of Magic==
[[Image:Spells_n_Magic_Artwork.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Schematics and notes about Magic from the [[Diablo I Manual]].]]The primal arcane magical force that pervades [[Sanctuary]] is usually called "[[Mana]]". Individuals skilled in sensing this power can channel the spiritual essence stored in their bodies through different techniques in order to accomplish great feats that they would be physically incapable of doing. In Sanctuary, there are several divisions of magic, and great [[mage clan]]s dedicated to learning all the secrets about this force.
The two primary planes of reality are the [[Physical plane]] and the [[Etheral plane]]. The visual effects of magic becomes apparent when the two planes interact with each other and creating turbulence. Some scholars try to explain the interaction of the two by liken the physical world with the sky and the etheral realm of magic with the ocean. sky, and spells are much like the turbulence that occurs where the two interact with each other. During the [[Sin War]], [[Demon]] and [[Angel]] alike wrought powerful magicks that threatened to tear the fabric of reality apart. The physical and magical realms began to blur and merge, which in this example would be the equivalent of a fierce hurricane.
