So, this is a follow through to my earlier theory (Magic and the Mists Theories.) Please read that before reading this.
A series of logics designed to prove my point:
-Leylines produce magic.
—That magic has to come from some where.
-The Mists is a place in a multiverse that is plentiful in magic.
—It could give power to somewhere else.
—-Therefor, leylines can get their magic from the Mists.
——Magic comes from the Mists, proving my earlier theory. (The Mists is a infinite multiverse, and when you perform magic, you pull that object from an alternate universe into your own.)
Additions To That Theory: Leylines connect every universe and travel through the Mists. Leylines are where the connection between universes is strongest and therefor magic is easier to perform.

The only thing you have slightly explained is that magic enters the planet through the Leylines and is then emanated out into the rest of the planet.

This is just an add on to my earlier theory, which I stated if you look at my first sentence.

I know. This is in reference to both posts. You are confusing Rift and Mists again. Leylines don’t connect every universe, the rift does. The spaces between all those connections are the mists. At best you could say Leylines draws magic from the Mists through the rift.

The Rift is the middle of the Mists. It says so in the wiki. It does not connect to everything, I think…

The only thing you have slightly explained is that magic enters the planet through the Leylines and is then emanated out into the rest of the planet.

Which doesn’t seem to be true because all evidence points to the following:

  • Magic cannot be destroyed, just change in shape and location.
  • Magic is consumed – and then exuded – by the Elder Dragons – respectively to being awake (consume), and while asleep (exude).
  • The ley lines are simply the “paths of least resistance” that magic flows. Given point 2, the origin of ley lines would be the Elder Dragons while they sleep.
  • While there’s implication that the Mists have ley lines, this is neither confirmed nor likely related to the ley lines of Tyria (the latter, given points 1 and 2).

If magic were to be flowing into Tyria from the Mists, then there must be a means to remove it. But all evidence says that the only reason why magic may reduce in the world is because Elder Dragons (and lesser dragons) consume it. However, it is also known that they do not destroy magic but store it – and that when they sleep (or die) it returns to the world.

The Rift is the middle of the Mists. It says so in the wiki. It does not connect to everything, I think…

It does connect to everything:

“This place is known as the Rift, and there is nothing to which it does not connect, nothing that cannot be reached from inside it.”

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Well heat enters and leaves our planet. If exit and entry are always in equilibrium, then the dragons would be part of that equilibrium. Remember they say the dragons balance the amount of magic in the world.

Say each year:
-> 100 magics
-> 6 magics from pooping dragons
<- 50 magics, the remaining 56 is absorbed into stuff

After a few years. We have say 1000 more magics then we are suppose to.

Dragon wakes up.
-> 100 magics
<- Dragon eats 300 magics, this includes 200 of the excess
-> 5 magics from pooping dragons
<- 50 magics, we take 56 from excess

We now have only 9756 excess magics.

Dragon goes to sleep at 0 excess magics.
