SoC: Space, Stuff, Psionics, and Angels
Space is a big place. The wings, the wild, the vacuum, the nothing, the rant.
If you teleported to a random point in the galaxy, chances are you would not find yourself inside a planet or even a star. You would very likely end up in those in-between spots. Space is mostly empty. That's why it's called "space", not "stuff". Stuff tends not to be empty.
Scientists thought they had invented a new medium when they created Hollow Stuff. It was stuff, to be sure, but was mostly empty. Then a philosopher realized that it was in fact, bottled space. Space inside Stuff. This revolution in philosphical science, this whole new way of thinking, was underwhelming.
Magic is the power of the mind, psionics. It is the prophecy that fulfills itself.
Angels are curious creatures. Who really created them? The Judeo-Christian deity? I don't believe it. Angels are a class of supernatural or spiritual beings who seem to have a fondness for working with humans. This way of thinking permits their existence and their archetypes without the need for much theological underpinning.
