Legerdomain

The Realm of Magic (known as Legerdomain to the natives) is an interdimensional realm believed to be the place from which all magic in the universe flows.
==Accessibility==
Legerdomain can be accessed using the Door to Anywhere, which can be summoned by the use of a gateway spell, "Via est porro. Via est prolixus. Illic est haudcaput capitis vel solum. Planto oriens perspicuus. Lux lucis via. Ostendo occultus ianua.", in Gwen's Spellbook. From there, the Door to Anywhere can be opened by speaking the true name of the place to which the person wants to go, allowing them to step through the door and be magically transported there.
Legerdomain's true name used to be Yawatacsip but Charmcaster used a spell to change Legerdomain's name every few seconds and its true name has since not been revealed. However, its last known name was Nekwaheew.Couples Retreat
==Landscape==
Legerdomain is made up of stone walkways with a few larger land masses and arcs which can act as motion detectors, summoning Rock Monsters, formerly controlled by Addwaitya.
The overall landscape of the Legerdomain completely changed in Omniverse, now looking more otherworldly and demented. Blue vortexes cover the black sky, some that turn into tornadoes that split like roots. Green creatures with one large eye and several growths dominate the skies. Unusual planetary structures are also present, some being brown and cratered with roots sprouting out into the skies, occasionally having eyes similar to the green creatures, while others have crystals and sharp pillars dominate their landscape. There are 'platforms' that usually connect the planets, such as purple discs with cyan holes on each side and red fungus-like platforms with carrot-shaped bottoms. There are also waves of cyan lines that all point the same direction and purple rectangular frames that roots sometimes slip through. Some chunks of certain planets break off and form small asteroids.
Legerdomain has an unparalleled sky, meaning any being in the air unbound by gravity is unable to return to the ground easily. However, this doesn't seem to be the case for beings who fly via mystical means like Charmcaster.Enemy of My Frenemy
==Background==
Legerdomain was home to the Alpha Rune, an all-powerful magical object that held the secret true name of magic and one of the four pieces of the Map of Infinity. Whoever held it had power over magic itself. The Alpha Rune also held portions of Legerdomain together and when not within the realm, the Door to Anywhere could not access it.
==Time in Legerdomain==
Time moves faster in Legerdomain than it does on Earth: minutes on Earth can amount to days in Legerdomain.
==Magic in Legerdomain==
Beings who use magic and mana have their powers and abilities strengthened in Legerdomain, with even a single eye blast from Gwen effectively exploding into an expanding wave of mana that destroyed whatever it hits upon contact, yet leaving allies unharmed.

==Etymology==
Yawatacsip is a reversal of Piscataway. Piscataway is the name of a Native American tribe from the Chesapeake Bay area and, in turn, the namesake of several towns, a creek, and a national park in the region.
Nekwaheew is a reversal of Weehawken. Weehawken is a township in the northern part of Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. It is located largely on the Hudson Palisades overlooking the Hudson River.
The name Legerdomain comes from the words "legerdemain", which is another name for sleight of hand, and "domain".
==Trivia==
*In Enemy of My Frenemy, Charmcaster claimed that Legerdomain had a population of 600,000, including Ben, Gwen, and Kevin.
*Zoraster (mentioned by Gwendolyn in Ken 10) is located in Legerdomain. Charmcaster was born on Zoraster.Ken 10
*The Omnitrix is unable to accommodate the DNA of Legerdomain's inhabitants because magic is not compatible with the science of the Omnitrix.
*The creation of the Charms of Bezel, along with their destruction and recreation over the ensuing years, softened the veil of reality that separates the Earth's dimension from the Legerdomain. This weakened the barrier between realities enough for magic using humans like Hex or Charmcaster or whoever to tap into the power of Legerdomain, as well as eventually letting them enter the other realm.
*Legerdomain was inspired by Steve Ditko's drawings of Dormammu's Dark Dimension in Marvel Comics.
