¤.¤..¤.¤¤. 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. ¤..¤.¤.¤¤.
