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.
