†^«-¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-«^
