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.
