¨¨¨~»%%§## 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 #§†»»¨¨¨¨¨

¨~»†%§#### 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. ####§%†»~¨
