#@¤&=\~-¨¨ magic is about being unaccountable, ¨¨-~\=&¤@#
@¤&=\~-¨¨¨ about removing the source of the action ¨¨¨-~\=&¤@
¤&=\~-¨¨¨¨ from yourself. it works by exploiting a ¨¨¨¨-~\=&¤

#@¤&=\~-¨¨ things in this universe always seek the ¨¨-~\=&¤@#

#@¤&=\~-¨¨ ¨¨-~\=&¤@#
##@¤&=\~-¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨-~\=&¤

#@¤&=\~-¨¨ the potential is high enough to escape ¨¨-~\=&¤@#
@¤&=\~-¨¨¨ any self-closing mechanisms - a breach. ¨¨¨-~\=&¤@
¤&=\~-¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨-~\=&¤
@¤&=\~-¨¨¨ these are usually catastrophic. ¨¨¨-~\=&¤@
#@¤&=\~-¨¨ although many are local, they stay ¨¨-~\=&¤@#

¤&=\~-¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨-~\=&¤
@¤&=\~-¨¨¨ in that case the outcome depends on the ¨¨¨-~\=&¤@
