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.
