,,,,,,,,,, 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 ,,,,,,,-«^

,,,,,,,,,, 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 ,,-«^*%&@#
