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.
