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.
