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.
