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.
