Sometimes you're trying to justify things existing in your world, and you come up with a single explanation that covers a bunch of results and it is elegant and feels satisfying.

Me in my notes: "okay the floating island of On-Kalmoth are able to float because the pulverized bones of the great bird king were infused in to the land during the scouring of dawn before the beggining of time, while the floating islands of the windlands operate on a completely different principle due to the veins of naturally occuring none magical cavorite, which allows them to continue to float when the anti-magic eye of the fith moon is upon the world..."

Me to my players: fuck if i know it's magic"
