Gloranthan magicians access higher planes of reality, and create manifestations of supradimensional energies within the Inner World.
As such, they transcend the normal three-dimensional limitations of mundane powers. The ability to add many dubyas (or "wibbles") to their powers within this world stems from the fact that they are, in effect, operating at higher levels of magnitude than the Muggles.
