¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,

#£¤¤=*=,¨¨ magic then, is creating tunnels, ¨¨,=*=¤¤£#
##£¤¤=*=,¨ specific and intricate canals, for this ¨,=*=¤¤£##
#£¤¤=*=,¨¨ to happen in a controlled manner. think ¨¨,=*=¤¤£#

,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ of course, you're also irreversably ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ draining time from the universe, but ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¤=*=,¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨,=*=¤

£¤¤=*=,¨¨¨ although many are local, they stay ¨¨¨,=*=¤¤£

£¤¤=*=,¨¨¨ ¨¨¨,=*=¤¤£
¤¤=*=,¨¨¨¨ in that case the outcome depends on the ¨¨¨¨,=*=¤¤
