##¶@&§^«-, magic is about being unaccountable, ,-«^§&@¶##
#¶@&§^«-,, about removing the source of the action ,,-«^§&@¶#
¶@&§^«-,,, from yourself. it works by exploiting a ,,,-«^§&@¶
@&§^«-,,,, kind of gravity, called the ,,,,-«^§&@

^«-,,,,,,, things in this universe always seek the ,,,,,,,-«^

-,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,-
«-,,,,,,,, magic then, is creating tunnels, ,,,,,,,,-«
^«-,,,,,,, specific and intricate canals, for this ,,,,,,,-«^

&§^«-,,,,, of it as setting an elaborate trap for ,,,,,-«^§&

&§^«-,,,,, ,,,,,-«^§&
