,,,,,,,~^@ 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; ##@@£^†~,,
