Relationships between the Spheres of Power
The Spheres of Power:
The structure of the organization of the Immortals is divided into five areas, called Spheres. Everything in the multiverse contains part of one or more of these Spheres — Matter, Energy, Time, Thought, and Entropy. Every Immortal serves one Sphere only. Player character Immortals can choose to serve any Sphere except Entropy, which is reserved for NPCs only.
Frank Mentzer, from the Player's Guide to the Immortals (pg. 2)
The Spheres of Power and their interrelationships were introduced in the Master DM's Book section on Immortals.
