¤*;«~¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨~«;*¤#
