,,-†*@&£## magic is about being unaccountable, ##£&@*†-,,
,,-†*@&£## about removing the source of the action ##£&@*†-,,
,,-††††*@£ from yourself. it works by exploiting a £@*††††-,,

,,-†*@&££# 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 ##£&@*†-,,

,,-†*@&£## the potential is high enough to escape ##£&@*†-,,
,,-†*@&££# any self-closing mechanisms - a breach. #££&@*†-,,
,,,,,,††@& &@††,,,,,,
,,,,,,,†@& these are usually catastrophic. &@†,,,,,,,
,,-†***@&& although many are local, they stay &&@***†-,,
