Every spell, every ritual, every enchanted item draws upon this radiant, invisible structure. Through her, magic is not chaos but **ordered possibility**, governed and shaped to prevent mortals from destroying themselves. - **The Chosen of Mystra:** A rare mantle granted only to those she trusts utterly: [[Elminster Aumar]], [[The Seven Sisters]] ([[Alustriel Silverhand]], [[Dove Falconhand (Ambara Dove Silverhand)]], [[Laeral Silverhand]], [[The Simbul]], [[Qilué Veladorn]], [[Anastra “Syluné” Silverhand]], [[Storm Silverhand]]) Her Chosen act as guardians of the Weave, defenders of magical balance, and instruments of her direct will when conflict threatens magic’s stability. - **[[The Spellplague]]:** After Cyric and Shar murdered Mystra (***1385 DR***), the Weave collapsed, tearing reality itself. Blue flames burned across the world, magic became wild, dead, or deadly, and whole nations were reshaped. The Spellplague was not just a magical disaster; it was magic without Mystra, uncontrolled and feral. - **[[The Second Sundering]]:** In 1487 DR, Mystra was restored, and the Weave rewove itself across the world. Magic stabilized again, wild-strikes calmed, and the Tablets of Fate were rewritten to repair the cosmic balance. Though the world healed, mysteries remained- especially for those who had suffered personal tragedies during the age of chaos. - **Note:** Known as the Lady of Mysteries, Mystra is not a deity of raw power, but of _shaped magic_, governed wonder, and carefully tended possibility. She seeks balance, curiosity, responsibility, and harmony between mortal spellcasters and the vast forces they command. Even restored, her presence is subtle- whispered insights, gentle pulses in the Weave, the quiet hum of magic behaving _as it should_. Her devotees believe that every spell is both a privilege and a question, and the Weave is the answer Mystra continually renews.
