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.
