Some would suggest that casting a spell is analogous to going to a faucet for a drink of water. A conventional mage is like a normal person. He holds his glass beneath the spigot, turns on the tap, fills his glass to the desired level, and turns off the tap. Simple, efficient, and orderly. However, Chaos Magic doesn’t work that way. Instead, he smashes the spigot with a hammer, tries to catch as much water as he wants in his glass, and then tries to reseal the ruptured faucet. Complicated, inefficient, and chaotic. And very likely to get the mage soaked in the process. So it is with magic. Instead of opening a precise channel for magical energy, chaos tears at the fabric of reality itself, pulling the effect desired and hopefully not leaving a gaping hole in their wake.
