MAGIC          
                          
                                   
                                          
   MAGIC IS ABOUT BEING UNACCOUNTABLE,    
 ABOUT REMOVING THE SOURCE OF  THE ACTION 
 FROM YOURSELF. IT  WORKS BY EXPLOITING A 
        KIND OF GRAVITY, CALLED THE       
              ARROW OF TIME.              
                                          
 THINGS IN THIS  UNIVERSE ALWAYS SEEK THE 
 LEAST ENERGETIC  STATE. ALL POTENTIAL IS 
 GRADUALLY LOST  INTO LESSER  FORMS (SUCH 
                AS HEAT).                 
                                          
     MAGIC THEN, IS CREATING TUNNELS,     
 SPECIFIC AND  INTRICATE CANALS, FOR THIS 
 TO HAPPEN IN A  CONTROLLED MANNER. THINK 
 OF IT AS SETTING  AN ELABORATE  TRAP FOR 
                 ENTROPY.                 
                                          
 AND THEN, WHEN  THE  CIRCUIT CLOSES, THE 
 ARROW  IS  FORCED TO  DO  YOUR  BIDDING! 
                                          
    OF COURSE, YOU'RE ALSO IRREVERSABLY   
 DRAINING  TIME  FROM  THE  UNIVERSE, BUT 
                   YEAH.                  
                                          
                                          
                                  
                                          
                                          
 THE DANGER  IS A RUNAWAY SPELL  - IF THE 
 FILAMENT OF YOUR CANAL IS TOO  WEAK,  OR 
 THE  POTENTIAL IS HIGH ENOUGH TO  ESCAPE 
 ANY SELF-CLOSING MECHANISMS -  A BREACH. 
                                          
     THESE ARE USUALLY CATASTROPHIC.      
 ALTHOUGH  MANY   ARE  LOCAL,  THEY  STAY 
 ACTIVE  UNTIL  CLOSED  OFF   BY  COUNTER 
 SPELLS (HARD TO PULL OFF) OR  THERE'S NO 
       MORE ENERGY TO FALL THROUGH.       
                                          
 IN THAT CASE THE OUTCOME  DEPENDS ON THE 
   SPELL. SMALL-SCALE BREACHES MIGHT NOT  
 EVEN BE  NOTICEABLE  BY THE UNINITIATED; 
 BUT A SPELL MIGHT  ALSO VERY  WELL BRING 
 ABOUT THE  HEAT DEATH OF  THE  UNIVERSE. 
                                          
                                          
                                       
                                          
                                          
 WELL. IT IS WHAT  IT IS.  A  DYING ART.. 
            MAYBE FOR THE BEST.
