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.
