¨¨¨¨¨~-^†¤ 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 @¶@¤†^-~¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨~-^† †^-~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~-^†¤ 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 ¶@¤†^-~¨¨¨
