|I agree, I remember reading that somewhere. (I just spent a few minutes
|skimming, and I can't find it.) I'd always pictured there being a type
|of magical veil surrounding the earth, preventing anything of a magical
|nature from passing through. Separating a magically active person's
|mundane from his magic would be rather (okay, VERY) traumatic, thus
|driving them insane. (I can't hear <insert totem>! Everything is
|too orderly...) or (My mind! It's all jumbled...)

I think the general consensous on the list is that there *is* no magic
outside of the atmosphere. (The boisphere generates the light of magic and
the astral field around itself). There is no astral plane outside the
boisphere.

I personally prefer the view that the magic exists independently, but the
life generates the light on the astral.

Go to space and it is a total void. No emotion, no life, just, well,
nothing. As the human mind has never experienced this before, it can't cope
and shuts down (resulting in death or insanity).
