*†~-,,,,,, 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. ,,,-~†**#@
