There are many explanations of how magick works in the world.  One of
the common ones is that of lay lines.  That is, there are "lines" of
power criss-crossing across the face (and perhaps within) the planet
Earth.

When someone works magick, or uses such powers the energy is usually
drawn from the user, which is then "trickle-charged" over time from
the Earth.

It is also possible to draw power directly from the Earth, which
allows an experienced mage to use more power that he/she can contain
within himself.

How does this fit in with lay lines?  Well, the closer one is to a lay
line, the easier it is to draw power from the Earth.  So one may
recharge faster, or cast more powerful spells if one is drawing
directly from it.

Some people are sensitive to Earth-magick, and can sense the presence
of lay lines.  In addition, they often cross each other, and at the
junctions, power is increased greatly (doubled, or multiplied, I don't
know).  Such sites are usually known and used as gathering points for
magick rituals.  Very often, there are churches built on these
crossovers as well (Christians can also be magick-sensitive, even if
they deny it).

I hope this explains a bit.
