,,,,,=\*&# 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; &*\=,,,,,,
