Planes and Factions
Discounting the Quasi-Elemental planes, the D&D cosmology has 32 planes.
And in Magic, there are 32 factions if you count Colorless.
32 and 32.
So I matched them up to the best of my ability. It's not obvious or neat how they map because Magic is divided into five colors, while the planes are divided in a lot of ways - but never into multiples of five.
