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.
