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.
