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.
