Bindism

Bindism is a philosophy that suggests that every living and non-living thing is connected on a universal alternate plane of existence. Bindists suggest that this mirror universe resembles a giant field of motion and energy, where time and morality do not exist. Life and death and matter are all connected within a cycle unbiasedly.

Bindists believe that it is incomprehensible to imagine a beginning and an end to everything, and that the world, cosmos, and universe has always been present and will always be. They believe things may change but slowly work their way in a continuous circle of infinite motion of wavering balance.

Clerics of Bindism
Faithful casters believe that their powers of healing and harming are drawn upon the alternate plane from the continuous flow of energy. Some bindists believe that the Arcanorium is a product of this plane, and that all supernatural powers are drawn from it. However, this belief does not fully explain an arcanist's inability to access healing spells and the ability to turn and/or rebuke undead.

Branches of Bindism

 * Traditional Bindism: Traditional Bindists believe in ultimate neutrality within both planes, and that the energy of the universe is unbending and infinite. Traditional Bindists tend to hold amorphous moral standards and believe that supernatural powers and spells are available from an endless tap. They also uphold the idea that good and evil are both necessary and irrelevant to the ultimate nature of the universe. Traditional Bindists may be more inclined to disregard regulations and norms and live free-spirited lifestyles that aren't tied to rightous morality.
 * Neobindism: Neobindists believe in the fundamental definition of Bindism but also believe that the alternate existing plane is not such a self-sustaining force and within it are beings that wish to do it harm or disrupt its flow. Neobindists also believe that there are forces within this alternate universe that seek to protect the connectedness and balance of the universe. Neobindists believe that the end times were brought on upon by these malevolent forces and unlike traditional Bindists, they seek to promote the protection of both realms by embracing acts of kindness and eliminating evil within the material world. They believe that by doing this, the mirror plane's evil forces weaken, thus preventing the imbalance and any more cataclysmic events. Traditionalist Bindists see Neobindism as defeating the purpose of the universe's self-sustained cycle, and that their assumptions that harmful beings are present within the mirror plane are unfounded and ridiculous.
