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.
