Astral realm

Shadow Realm

The Shadow Realm is a strange place, populated with floating islands and ruins and inhabited by [ Demons ].

Non-Connectivity

The Shadow Realm is not located on the same coordinate system as the outside world; nothing which has a distance limitation can cross into or out of the Shadow Realm. Extradimensional spaces inside the Shadow Realm cannot connect out of it, and vice-versa. [ Bound ] spells are suppressed while any targets or the caster are in the Shadow Realm but not all of them are.

The Shadow Realm is hard for [ Demons ] to leave: only when specifically summoned by an effect that can summon demons can they travel outside the Shadow Realm.

If a non-[ Demon ] leaves the Shadow Realm, it reappears in the outside world in the place it left. If a [ Demon ] leaves the outside world, it reappears in the Shadow Realm in the place it left.

Impossibility

Death, hunger, and fear have no meaning within the Shadow Realm. Neither does gravity, but creatures with souls are pushed downwards by an unstoppable force that accurately resembles gravity.

Objects and creatures without souls however, suffer from both a lack of gravity and an impermanence of inertia. Objects and creatures without souls simply released in the air quickly come to a stop. Creatures without souls who jump find theirselves hovering if they attempt to jump more than half their jump distance. Projectiles do -2 damage after the first range increment, and stop in the air after the second. Vehicles have their movement speed reduced depending on how many slower movement modes they have than the one they're using, dividing their speed by two plus that number. Thus, a ship moving All-Out would move at a quarter of the speed.
