,,,~=%@£## 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 ##£@%=~,,,
