,,,,,,,,,, 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. ,,,,,,,,,,
