§¨§¨§¨§¨¨§ 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. ¨§§¨§¨§¨§¨
