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.
