,,~;%%@£@# 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 ##£@%%;~,,

,,~;%%@£@# 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 #@£@%%;~,,
