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.
