£*†^~~,,,, 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. ,,,~~^†*£#
