&,&&,&,&&& ,&,,&&&&,,
&&&,&&&&,, 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. ,,,&&,,&,&
