,@@,@,,@,@ 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 ,@,@,,@,,@

,@@,@,,@,@ ,@,@,@@,@@
