| rdfs:comment | - All elemental planes are places of continuous destruction and rebirth; their element is continually being destroyed in sinks and spat out again in other forms by sources all across the plane, although the forms these sinks and sources take are always different from plane to plane. Likewise, a sink or source seldom stays in the same place, and often disappears entirely or opens out of nowhere. Sources act to counteract sinks, removal of material from the plane, and destruction through effects like Disintegrate, and so every plane actually has more sources than sinks at any given time, at least if you consider amount of material produced or consumed. These Planes also all have traits to enhance appropriate magic and impede opposite magic, and are all quite sparesely populated.

| abstract | - All elemental planes are places of continuous destruction and rebirth; their element is continually being destroyed in sinks and spat out again in other forms by sources all across the plane, although the forms these sinks and sources take are always different from plane to plane.

These Planes also all have traits to enhance appropriate magic and impede opposite magic, and are all quite sparesely populated. Also, there are places on each plane where other planes combine with them. These are called "leechings" if only matter crosses through, and "bubbles" if planar traits cross through. A leeching might be as simple as a chunk of earth floating out in, well, anywhere, and are most commonly found between elemental planes. Bubbles are substantially rarer, but can occur anywhere. They are essentially a pocket of one plane in the middle of another, so you might find a miniature material plane in the Plane of Fire, or a Sea from the Plane of Water in a cavern on the Plane of Earth. Some bubbles are unstable, and go back and forth between planes. Others don't.
