¨¨¨¨^«/§§¤ 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. ###¤&§/«^¨
