Veil rifts are violent and seething fissures in the fabric of the [[Veil]] accidently created by [[magic]] users. All rifts begin as small tears in the [[Veil]] torn by those attempting to draw [[Magic|Chaos]] or the [[Magic|Gift]] from the Beyond, the Heavens, or the Void. When a [[magic]] user loses control, however, these tears can transform into turbulent breaches that erupt with the many ruinous powers that suffuse the [[Veil]]'s fabric. These forces can cause gruesome mutations, the summoning of implacable horrors, violent discharges of magical power, and many more catastrophic effects. While more experienced spellcasters are generally superior in their ability to prevent Veil rifts, all who dare to draw upon the destructive power of [[magic]] are at risk of creating such calamities.
