,,,~=^§@@# 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. ##@@§^=~,,
