"Dungeons and Dragons: Phlogiston and Crystal Spheres"
- The universe of Dungeons and Dragons comprises worlds within crystal spheres, surrounded by a rainbow ether called phlogiston outside the spheres.
- Phlogiston forms rivers between worlds, aiding sailors in traversing the vast emptiness.
- Phlogiston is either the space between crystal spheres or the gassy ether covering them, with both interpretations being essentially the same.
- The ether, harmless to living beings, fluctuates in density, creating currents that ships use for speed.
- Larger ships move faster in phlogiston due to increased contact area with the ether.
- Crystal shells housing worlds prevent phlogiston entry, with portals being the only means of passage.
- Phlogiston is extraordinarily flammable, causing fiery explosions and necessitating the use of magical light instead of fire.
- Those suffocating in phlogiston enter suspended animation, with their skin turning to stone until revived.
- Creatures dying in phlogiston cannot leave due to its disconnection from other realms, affecting magic and summoning abilities.
- Passing through phlogiston severs connections to gods and planes, rendering conjuration spells useless and isolating individuals from divine influence.
