@TheEdVerse Hoo boy, here we go.

Yes and no. :}
The Weave is the “arcane magic/spells” way of accessing the raw energies of the world. These raw energies can be accessed in many ways (divine spells, natural ‘wild talent’ Could some sorcerers cast spells without needing to tap into the Weave?

…raw-magic taps. That’s the “yes.”
But if a sorcerer wants to formally cast a spell (just like a wizard, but no memorized spell) that IS a Weave tap, as opposed to “raw energies” tap, and is a “no.”#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 22, 2019
Sorry, if I getting it wrong. But Weave is just a way to using day-by-day spells for D&D classes. But in theory there can be a spells or even magic books that do not using Weave as sort of conversion for raw magic?

The Weave is how arcane magic users describe their way of accessing the raw energies of the world (the “wizard spells” in the Player’s HandbookThere are MANY other ways to access these energies (most of them, except for the divine magic used by clergy, not widely known in society), but if we're talking arcane spells set down in spellbooks, we're talking the Weave.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 23, 2019
