Mystra, goddess of magic (Miss-tra)
Mystra is the goddess of magic and with that the goddess of possibilities that magic can bring about, which makes her arguably the most powerful deity in Ebresia. She is said to have taught the first spellcaster their first spell and to have enabled many of the races to use magic. She is most venerated by wizards and those who use magic or magical items in their daily use. Mystra provides for and tends to The Weave, of which she is effectively the embodiment.
The Weave is the conduit that enables mortal spell casters and magical crafters to access the raw force that is magic. She supposedly weighs and judges each new spell or magical item to determine whether it should be permitted to come into existence. Although her worshippers favor the ethos of good, she has learned that as a deity of magic, she must preserve the Balance. While she can prevent the creation of new spells and magic items that her philosophy opposes, she rarely exercises this ability unless they threaten the Weave or magic in general. She is usually all for the creation and discovery of new magics, be them good or evil.
