Fate & Destiny

Fate is the concept that governs all of time and space. Though many spells claim to "alter fate", wise mages know that all alterations are permitted are pre-planned by fate. Fate is present in everything, though it most presents itself to the users of magic. It is fate that draws people together and creates true bonds. It is referred to in the past tense.

Destiny, however, is not fixed. It is merely the work of prophets and seers who have glimpsed into the future. Some destinies may come true, but some are just as easily overridden. It is referred to in the future tense.
