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.
