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.
