@TheEdVerse in the past 20 min you’ve touched on both the weave and other conduits (ToT mystra denying access to the weave to dieties) & the netherese. So, We know that as of Karsas Folly, magic above level 9 was cut off from spellcasters. Is it true that this is only applies… to individual spell casters and that a group of archmagi or a coven of witches or a cabal of warlocks could achieve 10th level or higher by a concurrently cast ritual or one that was cast in cooperative 'pieces' so to speak by multiple casters?
Additionally…

@TheEdVerse are level 10+ spells also cut off from extra planar beings such as Archdevils, Demon Princes, or super ancient beings such as the Oracle of Ellyn'taal who knew of these magics, but it's no longer a mere mortal?

1)
Ao cut off access through the Weave to spells above a certain power level (9th level in Torilian arcane magic terms) after the Folly of Karsus the over-reaching mortal. This means that more powerful spells fail upon casting 2)
…when they access the Weave; it doesn’t matter who casts them (so the spells of gods, archdevils, demon princes would fail, when cast into Realmspace, out of Realmspace, or within Realmspace).
IF those spells use the Weave.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 9, 2020
3)
There are rituals and magic systems that don’t use the Weave, but the archmagi, covens of witches or hags, cabals of warlocks, and so on DO use the Weave in their rituals. Like the transplanted-to-Abeir wizards of Toril I 4)
…mentioned in my earlier lore reply, such individuals would have to learn, or invent, an entire new system of magic to circumvent the Weave, and this would be hard for them without an expert tutor, because what they’re used…#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 9, 2020

…tendencies to steer with the steering wheel and accelerate or brake using the pedals…because this new vehicle steers with taps of the peddles and accelerates or brakes by turning the wheel.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 9, 2020

Do-able, but I anticipate many spectacular crashes.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 9, 2020
