The Pocket Dimension

A place out of time, born as a by-product of magical time travel, where nothing done has any effect on the world outside.

Description

The pocket dimension is a place out of time, suspended outside the corporeal plane. A by-product of magical time travel, it seems to have absorbed and distorted fragments of the real world into an unearthly landscape hanging in nothingness. Nothing done there has any effect on the world outside, which makes it a safe place to practise spellcasting.

Historical context

It was here that the stranger first heard Aurelius's voice and learned the basic spells, returning between battles to master each new one; Aurelius refused to let them face the orcs with any spell they had not practised there first. The glyph in the Sanctum leads straight into it, and an orange glyph leads back.
