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.
