%$†-.¨¨¨¨¨ magic is about being unaccountable, ¨¨¨¨¨.-†$%
$†-.¨¨¨¨¨¨ about removing the source of the action ¨¨¨¨¨¨.-†$
†-.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.-

##£§%$†-.¨ the danger is a runaway spell - if the ¨.-†$%§£##
#£§%$†-.¨¨ filament of your canal is too weak, or ¨¨.-†$%§£#
£§%$†-.¨¨¨ the potential is high enough to escape ¨¨¨.-†$%§£
§%$†-.¨¨¨¨ any self-closing mechanisms - a breach. ¨¨¨¨.-†$%§
%$†-.¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨.-†$%
$†-.¨¨¨¨¨¨ these are usually catastrophic. ¨¨¨¨¨¨.-†$
†-.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.-
†-.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.-†
$†-.¨¨¨¨¨¨ in that case the outcome depends on the ¨¨¨¨¨¨.-†$
%$†-.¨¨¨¨¨ spell. small-scale breaches might not ¨¨¨¨¨.-†$%
§%$†-.¨¨¨¨ even be noticeable by the uninitiated; ¨¨¨¨.-†$%§
£§%$†-.¨¨¨ but a spell might also very well bring ¨¨¨.-†$%§£
