Global Spellnet
The Global Spellnet is a worldwide techno-magical communications infrastructure established in 2160 that enables instantaneous magical data transmission and spell-sharing across the planet. Built upon the Synthetic Ley Line Network and managed by the International Council of Techno-Mages, it serves as the backbone of modern magical communications and spellcasting operations.
Technical Infrastructure
The Global Spellnet operates through a complex network of mana-router nodes strategically placed along natural and artificial ley lines. These nodes process both conventional data and magical energy, allowing for seamless integration of spells, rituals, and digital information. The system's core runs on quantum-enchanted processors that can handle both binary and magical inputs simultaneously.
