Planar Magic

Planar Magic is that which resides within boundaries between the mortal realms (the Prime Material Plane) and the Divine Sphere. This area is often referred to as the "Outer Planes" and contains the power directly invested in the planes such as Arborea, Elysium, the Abyss, the Nine Hells. It also, technically, includes the Astral Plane.

This is the type of magic that is granted to anyone who receives their power DIRECTLY from one of these planes, usually via an Extraplanar being, such as a Demon Prince, Archdevil, any of the "Great Old Ones", some very powerful Celestials or similar creature. These beings are not "deities" and don't have Religions (but usually do have Cults) are are still significantly powerful in their own right and will teach mortals how to access the power of their plane.

To clarify: Planar Magic comes from the plane itself, not a specific creature, but to access it a mortal must usually be shown the path by an Extraplanar Being.

Planar Magic, to some extent, can appear to be very similar to Divine Magic and can include some healing magic. However Planar Magic is raw energy has no "intent" behind it as Divine Magic has.

Planar Magic is the primary form of magic for most 'Fiend' pact Warlocks, 'Great Old One' pact Warlocks and Divine Soul Sorcerers.
