¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
