,,,,,,-:$£ magic is about being unaccountable, £$:-,,,,,,
,,,,,,,-:$ about removing the source of the action $:-,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-: from yourself. it works by exploiting a :-,,,,,,,,

,,,,,,,,,, arrow of time. ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, things in this universe always seek the ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,- least energetic state. all potential is -,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-: gradually lost into lesser forms (such :-,,,,,,,,

,,,,,,-:$£ £$:-,,,,,,
,,,,,-:$£@ magic then, is creating tunnels, @£$:-,,,,,
,,,,-:$£@£ specific and intricate canals, for this £@£$:-,,,,
,,,-:$£@£# to happen in a controlled manner. think #£@£$:-,,,
,,-:$£@£## of it as setting an elaborate trap for ##£@£$:-,,
,,,-:$£@£# entropy. #£@£$:-,,,

,,,,,,-:$£ arrow is forced to do your bidding! £$:-,,,,,,

,,,-:$£@£# any self-closing mechanisms - a breach. #£@£$:-,,,

,,,,,,,,,- in that case the outcome depends on the -,,,,,,,,,
