"This is a force from an undiscovered point in existence from which all magic originates. It holds all forms of magic, all powers, and contains undiscovered particles that can be manipulated by a tiny variety of entities, creating magical beasts, weapons of mass destruction and God knows what else."
You say this about the Ether, I have a few amendments:
1) It was the original force in the big bang which exploded it all, so was created with all other matter, before the expansion though.
2) It is made from particles of Ether.These particles have a very specific electronic structure, which would be impossible with normal matter, which allows magicians to manipulate them.
3) By a tiny variety, you mean one variety? Humans (we all think... DUN DUN DUN!)
4) The reason it congregated around earth is by complete and utter chance. It now only stays here because of magicians' use of it, otherwise it would continue to drift off.
5) It is what mortal scientists call dark matter
