#@£&@†«,¨¨ magic is about being unaccountable, ¨¨,«†@&£@#
##@£&@†«,¨ about removing the source of the action ¨,«†@&£@##
#@£&@†«,¨¨ from yourself. it works by exploiting a ¨¨,«†@&£@#
@£&@†«,¨¨¨ kind of gravity, called the ¨¨¨,«†@&£@

##@£&@†«,¨ ¨,«†@&£@##
#@£&@†«,¨¨ things in this universe always seek the ¨¨,«†@&£@#

##@£&@†«,¨ 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 ¨,«†@&£@##

##@£&@†«,¨ filament of your canal is too weak, or ¨,«†@&£@##
#@£&@†«,¨¨ the potential is high enough to escape ¨¨,«†@&£@#
