Ley lines

From ThornsWiki

Ley lines (or monic pathways) are invisible lines along which the mona travel. Although the mona make up all matter, they tend to flow in currents when changes are being enacted; ancient philosophers theorized that these were the veins of the world, or divine roads chosen by the gods, but the current theory has more to do with a subtle monic force, a "pull" similar to a magnetic force that trends the mona into certain patterns.

Where are ley lines found?

Ley lines can be found throughout all matter, but are primarily studied inside the body of living beings (especially sorcerers). They also exist in nature, and can be measured with modern spells and equipment, but no discernible pattern has yet been found; study of natural ley lines has long been abandoned for the fascinating patterns found inside the body.

It is very probable that ley lines are the venue through which magical will is exerted. Unlike the field, which constantly shifts and changes, ley lines appear to be somewhat static, and change at very slow rates, not unlike muscle and tissue.

In Science

The term "ley couverture" or "ley fabric" refers to the network of ley lines throughout the world. It is sometimes mentioned when arguing for the theory of the interconnectedness of all things, though many scientists dismiss this theory as superstition and anthropomorphism.
