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.
