Way back when I thought about creating a concept page for ley lines when filling in The Demon issues, but didn't take it further because of one appearance.

Since then I have encountered the concept several times more in the DCU, and if I've encountered it several times in my limited reading, there is probably more out there. Not many people bother with the concept field in appearances, but I think it's moderately useful to be able to look up uses of breaking the fourth wall or time travel and always add them. I would be interested in being able find other stories that use ley lines, so perhaps there would be others also.

This wouldn't be a page about ley lines in general that you could just get from Wikipedia, it would be a brief explanation along with examples of important sites and in-universe instances only.

Examples so far:


 * Ra's al Ghul was given prophetic dreams when sleeping on empowered sites, giving him the knowledge to dig Lazarus Pits where ley lines converged. (O'Neil)


 * One such site used for a Lazarus Pit was Stonehenge, the same site that empowered Etrigan, giving him enough strength to fight the entire Sentinels of Magic. (Ostrander)


 * Besides his encounters with Ra's al Ghul, Batman has experience with ley lines when he trailed C'th through Gotham. (Grant)


 * Grant also gives sites like Glastonbury Tor great earth-power, making it easy to open portals to Hell.


 * Gloss is a hero where dragon lines are the foundation of her powers. (Englehart)

I think their use in the DCU is prominent enough to warrant a page, but want to put it up for discussion. I would also like to hear any other uses of ley lines people may know of.
