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.
