Question Tied to the Earth or a race?

Are the pre-sundering spells like the Bit-of-me-be-gone tied to the sidhe race or the earth? I'm trying to figure out if the colony woulds would be effected by those spells.

Maybe both? In other words, the spell is specified as affecting a specific race, but is woven into the biosphere of the planet. Since time changes nearly everything, maybe an effect of the Law of Precedence would be to evolve the spell with that race on that planet.

While not explicitly so, the Five-Fold Court had the element of Earth as its 'Center' direction (yes, we're ripping off Taoist Alchemy, what's your point?) so the planet Earth is the implicit anchor for most primal level spells of that nature

We know that while the Five-Fold Court was based on what is now our planet, that they knew of other Planets/Planes-of-Existence/Dimensional-Realities, as they were interacting with the inhabitants of the Elemental Planes, and were warring with the GOO's. ( In as much as you can be at war with entities that just want to eat your universe. Alignment = Hungry? )

Given that the Five-Fold Court had a Planet-Earth-centred culture, but also a Heliocentric science-base, then building colonies on other planets, and other planes of reality, would be a sensible long-term species-survival strategy.

As the sapients who would have been creating these plans weren't stupid, they would probably have looked at long-supply-lines as being a strategically Bad Idea. No matter what the resource was, whether it's food, minerals, or manna.

Each colony would then have to be able to generate it's own local sources of manna.

This could be modelled in any number of ways, whether it's a local World-Tree that would act as the local manna-focus for the colony, or whether it's a Life-ship, that uses a World-Tree as the structural base, would be down to the architect's preferences.

The Elemental Planes would have to have some form of contact with the colonies, so their archives could be a source of information about what happened to the them.

This would give a wider range of settings for places for stories to take place. Granted that this would tend towards the High Magic/Space Opera style setting, rather than the planetary local forms of stories, but it would also be a useful way of On-The-Bussing Over-Powered characters, like Tennyo during Gen 2.

( I really like the concepts of a Tree-Ships as a way of exploring space. "Castle In The Sky" is an excellent anime. )

Thanks Bek. i didn't want to spin something that sounded like a butt pull of an explanation of why certain core spells wheren't known to my space elf until she got to this planet.
