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.
