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.
