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.
