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.
