££*†=:,,,, 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 ,,,,:=†*££

:,,,,,,,,, magic then, is creating tunnels, ,,,,,,,,,:
