The Rift

''SPOILER WARNING: This page contains spoilers for the series due to the very nature of The Rift. It's impossible to discuss it without spoiling anything, so if you want to give this one a miss, that's fine. Want to know about The Rift but stay spoiler free? Take a look at the Rift Shop page.''

The Rift is a dimension that parallels the Main Dimension, mirroring nothing but terrain, leaving the rest barren. Where the grand ocean once stood sits only an endless void, illuminated by distant stars and galaxies. Landmasses are composed solely of an extremely tough glass-like substance, which is permanently cool to the touch.

All Rift magic is sourced from the Rift, as one may expect. Most well learned sorcerers are aware of this fact, though most wrongly believe it's a free, infinite energy source. In reality, Rift magic follows most of the rules that regular magic does, including the buildup of Remnant. Remnant generated this way is minuscule and hardly detectable, however it is the most potent and dangerous by far. It is also the only irremovable Remnant besides Scraping Remnant.

Despite most magic users also using Rift magic, the average lifespan is nowhere near long enough to accumulate enough Remnant for any diseases or side effects to occur. This is, of course, an issue when it comes to those with abnormal lifespans. On average, it only takes about 400 years of Rift usage to gain enough buildup for Prolonged Rift Exposure Disease (PRED) to occur in individuals. This being said, it's still technically possible to succumb to PRED after a single Rift, but the odds are so astronomically low that surely nobody would ever have this occur... right?
