.,~:†§&### 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 ####&§†:~,

,~:†§&#### 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. ####&§†:~,
