¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.=
;=.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ about the heat death of the universe. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.=;
