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.
