The universe is the self-contained reality where Magical Vacation series canon takes place.
Profile
A single universe is made up of overlapping planar worlds called planes,[a] which are inhabited by various spirits and races. Planes are produced whenever a concept is brought into the universe, and termed after the concepts they represent, such as light and matter. The universe is actually small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand, yet it contains a vast number of planes.[1] Outside of the universe exist several identical, alternate universes, which "Chosen Ones" can communicate with in order to receive new powers. Alternatively, magic technology can be used to broadcast radio waves to other universes, and engage with lookalikes from those alternate worlds.[2]
In more complex terms, the universe is like a heart or mind, in which peoples' minds becomes the universe, and the universe creates people.[3] It is shaped by the magic of those who inhabit it, and is perpetually being reborn because of it. Therefore, the universe is really a figment of the imagination and does not truly exist;[4] it is an eternal, immaterial, mysterious black space beyond all comprehension.[5]

[…] ★At some point, he started saying that the universe was a mind. ★A person's mind becomes the universe, and the universe creates the person. ★Those are the thoughts of a genius. ★I'm not sure what it really means either. ★Once he found that answer, he began reading an ancient, cryptic book."

Since you've come all this way, even at a time like this, I'd like to talk to you about something. ★According to Master Grenadine, the universe doesn't exist. ★Even if it existed, we'd have no way of knowing everything there is about the universe. ★We just call the universe "the universe" as we think we know it to be. ★Even if the universe exists, strictly speaking, it's not what we refer to as the universe. ★The universe is merely a figment of our imagination. ★What stretches across the skies above isn't the insignificant, teensy universe we think it is. ★It's a mysterious black space beyond comprehension."
