,,,,&,,,,, 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. ,,&,&&,,,&
