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.
