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.
