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.
