Worldfire Worldfire was an extremely dangerous magic al ability that allowed a spellcaster to drain energy from another world or plane to empower its spellcasting abilities . Using this ability not only drained the life force of a world or plane , it also damaged the Weave . Background . According to Elminster Aumar , worldfire was a flashy name for this ability because , unlike other magical abilities such as the spellfire , there were no fire or energy emanations of any kind when someone used the worldfire . This was because using worldfire was so dangerous that spellcasters had to firmly control the raw energy summoned from other planes , not only to protect themselves but also to conceal that they were using this ability . However , in some rare instances fire - based spell s were empowered if they were used alongside worldfire . History . In the late 1480s DR , Mystra had forbidden her Chosen and her other followers to deal with worldfire users , as those individuals were capable of use their ability to drain silver fire , and this could severely damage not only the worlds of Abeir and Toril , but also the Weave itself . However , Mystra compelled all magical - gifted beings , such as mortals capable of use magic or dragon s , among others , to openly oppose the use of worldfire . According to Elminster , a few spellcasters from both Abeir and Toril , became interested in worldfire after the Second Sundering , and they were trying to use worldfire to increase their own powers , regardless of the damage caused to either world . Among Faerûn ian spellcasters , the most notorious users of worldfire were the wizard Leoanos Roroebryn , the zulkir Talaskos Murthrond , and the Rashemi witch Velvroame .

Notably , it was the only temple to Tyr in Realmspace that did not lie on the planet of Toril , and its priests held a number of non - standard religious views .

Sava Sava is a game created by the drow . Resembling chess , it involves the moving and capture of pieces that represent soldiers on a battlefield . While the gameplay itself is merely hinted at in the several books it is mentioned in , again , a chess - like game can be inferred . This is the game Lolth and Eilistraee are seen playing in the Lady Penitent series , with the board representing the entire plane of existence . The Pieces . The pieces in sava are labeled Warrior , Slave , Priest ( ess ) and Mage . Certain adaptations are allowed , especially in a deity - played game . In the case of the Lolth versus Eilistraee match , specific pieces known as Champions and Mothers were put into play . The Mother piece represented each goddess specifically in these matches , and it was implied that capturing this piece not only ended the game , but the losing goddess would be slain and absorbed by the winner . In the case of Lolth , her Champion was the demi - god Selvetarm , who was later slain . Gameplay . No specific mention of " how " the game itself is played . It is mentioned that each player can move a single piece per turn , and each piece has a set axis of motion , much like a bishop in chess can only move diagonally . The Random Dice . In order to inject a bit of chaos into their game , the drow have a pair of eight - sided dice ready for a sava game . Each player is allowed a single roll of the dice in a game . Nothing cited actually explains what the different rolls mean or cause , but it was taken as an extremely good result when Lolth rolled double ones in her match against Eilistraee , at least the result was good for Lolth . Eilistraee ' s earlier roll of double ones also caused a great strategic victory for Eilistraee , which turned out to be planned by Lolth all along . Eilistraee mentions a sixty - three to one chance that the dice work . Rolling two ones on two eight - sided dice are a one in sixty - four chance , and thus , assuming the dice do indeed have the same number of sides , the dice can be inferred as being eight - sided octahedrons . In the War of the Spider Queen series Sava is mentioned quite a bit . When the player rolls double spiders ( double ones ) you are allowed to move one of your opponent ' s pieces ( within its given range of motion ) to attack one of your opponent ' s pieces ; a fair representation of drow doing in one of their comrades for personal achievements even when houses are warring against eachother .
