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.
