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.
