Great work! I saw you did the flow storms page, do you have any info on flow patterns? (See Planar Shift (740).) VANKRASN39 (talk) 23:48, 4 February 2015 (CST)

Thank you :) I'm afraid not, or at least, nothing modern. There is very old lore on the "flows of essence", describing them as like rivers in a radiation field. There was a map of the (old) continent from 1989 that had "greater" and "lesser" flows on it. I would think you'd use those for pinning down your region, then using "local" or "minor" rivulets or nodes to specify a more precise spot. If the flows had stable branchings over time, it would make sense to call that a unique flow pattern. I'm always reluctant with "magical physics" because I'm never sure what is still true. (e.g. Familiars used to be extra-planar entities taking the form of small animals, and still are in DragonRealms, but is that still true? I would guess wyrdlings re-established it.)
