Intersection
Intersections are places where Power is most easily accessible. They are found where two or more ley lines converge.

Magically gifted individuals are able to detect intersections through a slight cramping in the ring finger, extending downward. To mundane people, intersections are invisible, but one could locate them by finding a place marked with dried-up tries and gnarled plants, avoided by most of the animals. Cats like sleeping and resting on intersections, absorbing magical energy in the process.
The most potent intersections are often "enhanced" by erecting standing stones called places of Power or circles of Elements. Stabilizing an intersection by carving complex sigils on the obelisk allows a safer way to draw Power than from "naked" intersections or ley lines. While most of such monuments were built by ancient elves, the rituals allowing creation of such are known to some mages, priests, and druids of other races.
