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.
