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.
