The Three Physical Dimensions (Height, Width, Depth)
The easiest of the dimensions to understand, the first three dimensions measure the physical size of objects. A solid object is most readily apparent. A cube, for instance, is easy to measure in its height, width, and depth.
The physical dimensions are closely associated with the three elements: Air, Water, and Earth. Air is difficult to measure so it is often associated with the first or with a single dimension. Water, meanwhile, will pool and so is associated with the second or with two dimensions. Earth, meanwhile, is the easiest element to measure the dimensions of and so is associated with the third or with all three physical dimensions.
Use water as an example. A block of ice is water in three dimensions. Apply energy and it becomes a liquid pool of two dimensions. Apply yet even more energy and it becomes the vaporous steam of one dimension.
The Energy Dimension
This dimension is responsible for creating movement or change in the physical dimensions. It is often associated with the element of fire.
Soul Dimension
The dimension of the soul.
Dimension of the spirit of living things, their personality and nature.
The Mana Dimension
Mana can best be explained as the energy of the soul, their thoughts and emotions. This is still under debate, however. Do we include a mana dimension or just incorporate it into the soul dimension?
A disembodied soul typically cannot be seen to mortal eyes. However, there are occasions where a soul may use its mana to manifest itself on the physical plain, appearing insubstantial, but still appearing. It is said the mana draws in energy, thus making the area around itself cold.
The Time Dimension
River that provides movement to existence.
Possibility Dimension
Disclaimer: This is not a scientific or mathematical discussion but rather a fancy used for our fantasy-fiction. I did, however, get this fancy while studying math and science in high school.
