Mind Sphere

The Mind Sphere is one of the four fundamental aspects of reality in The Twenty Domains magic system of Tarras. It represents consciousness, perception, and conflict—the realm of thought, awareness, and the battles waged in mental space.

The Five Domains of Mind

The Mind Sphere intersects with each of the five Elders to create five distinct domains:

• Void × Mind = Time - Temporal manipulation and the perception of time
• Preservation × Mind = Nature - The natural world and the minds of beasts
• Fate × Mind = Mind - Thought, mental influence, and conscious destiny
• Luck × Mind = Illusion - False perceptions and manipulation of what is seen
• Ruin × Mind = War - Battle, strategy, and the breaking of wills

Cross-Training

Practitioners who study multiple domains within the Mind Sphere find it easier to learn adjacent magics than those who jump to different Spheres. A master of Illusion might more readily comprehend Time magic (both within Mind) than Enhancement magic (in the Matter Sphere), despite both being Luck domains.

Philosophical Nature

The Mind Sphere deals fundamentally with consciousness, awareness, and perception—both the experience of reality and the shaping of that experience. It encompasses not just individual thought but the clash of minds in conflict, the shared consciousness of natural systems, and the very flow of perceived time.
