In some areas of Toril, the Weave is so warped or frayed that magic does not function reliably. This damage may be due to some magical disaster, such as those that were common during the Time of Troubles in 1358 DR. or due to some powerful effect that distorts the Weave, such as a mythal (see mythal). Most zones of wild magic created during the Time of Troubles have since disappeared, but small pockets of wild magic remain, especially underground and in wilderness areas.
In some areas of Toril, the Weave is absent altogether. The Weave has a tear or hole, and the area effectively has no magic at all. Like the rare wild magic zones, many regions of dead magic were created during the Time of Troubles and have since faded or retreated. Dead magic zones often persist in places where extreme concentrations of magical power were abruptly scattered or destroyed - in the vicinity of a shattered mythal, at the spot where an artifact was broken, or at the scene of a god's death.
So let us imagine one of these unfortunate sub human race walk into a dead magic zone. What would you say to your PC.
The illumians are a race created by sorcery. Through painstaking ritual, they have developed a mystical connection to the magic runes that make up their own alphabet. Glowing sigils surround them, granting the power of an eldritch language made flesh.
So if an area is void of magic, whats to sustain the magic in the form of flesh?
