Also, for thousands of years the world has been surrounded by a mysterious, impenetrable Shield, said to have been created by the godlike Ascended to separate themselves from humanity beneath.Īiah is a half-trained mage, working for the bureaucracy that tries to prevent Plasm theft. Unsurprisingly governments control its collection and use, and charge for its supply. In some curious way these buildings generate Plasm, an almost magical force that certain people, mages, can use for many purposes including healing, long life, transportation and ESP.

The world is divided into many metropolises, which seem to be political states within a continuous world city, though this is not clearly spelled out. This story takes place in a thoroughly-populated Earth of the far future, quite likely in an alternate universe.
