Spell fans, I have a YouTube channel where I do videos about the Realms. And a Patreon (under my name), and the Greenwood's Grotto Discord server. Next month I'll record more videos with my peerless righthand swordbrother Ivan. At least one will share spell descriptions. Promise!

When I wrote Spellfire, I included full descriptions, including the incantations, for all spells cast in the book (so DMs could read them to players)...and the editors cut them all, deciding that "the fiction should NOT closely mirror the game." Huh? #realmslore

Any truth to Earth being the forgotten realm, as the portals that lead to it from Toril or Abeir-Toril were believed to be closed a long time back?

That's indeed the origin of my name "Forgotten Realms," coined in 1966, 8 years before D&D first appeared, though I had Earth historians calling Toril that, for that very reason (which is why we have legends of dragons, etc. but don't meet them in the streets daily). #realmslore

I always knew it was a story too cool to not be true.
