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.
