#@#@&†/~-, 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 ,-~/†&@##@

#@#@&†/~-, 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 ,-~/†@##
