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.
