¨§¨§¨§¨¨§¨              ARROW OF TIME.              ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§¨§¨§¨¨§¨ GRADUALLY LOST INTO  LESSER  FORMS (SUCH ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§¨§¨§¨¨§¨ THE POTENTIAL IS  HIGH  ENOUGH TO ESCAPE ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§¨§¨§¨¨§¨ ALTHOUGH   MANY  ARE  LOCAL,  THEY  STAY ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§¨§§¨ ACTIVE  UNTIL  CLOSED   OFF  BY  COUNTER ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§¨¨§¨ SPELLS (HARD TO PULL OFF) OR  THERE'S NO ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§¨§¨§¨§§¨ IN  THAT CASE THE OUTCOME DEPENDS ON THE ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§¨§¨§¨§§¨ EVEN  BE  NOTICEABLE BY THE UNINITIATED; ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§¨¨§¨ BUT A  SPELL MIGHT ALSO  VERY WELL BRING ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
