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.
