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.
