Broken Powers world (Into the Tides)
| The first two things every student should know about magic:
1. Either you have a Power, or you don’t. You cannot change or remove yours. 2. Power is as much body as it is mind, but also as much mind as body. —Remedial Powers: Your Basic Guide to Using Your Magic |
The Broken Powers world is an alternate Earth where magic has been an essential part of humanity from the beginning of history.
Three years before the beginning of Into the Tides, wild magic poured out from the Gulf of Mexico and swamped most of the American South. Everyone in the area disappeared or morphed into animal-like wraiths, now unable to communicate with people, and no longer fully aware of the surrounding world.
The magic recedes and rises in a regular cycle known as the Tides, with approximately a three-month cycle. During its lowest point, it covers perhaps half the land area as during the highest point. The deep South is perpetually covered, and those who cross into the magic never reappear (at least, not in an identifiable form).
