¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
