We propose that generic magnetic equilibrium of an ideally conducting fluid contains a volume-filling set of singular current layers. Singular current layers should exist inside neutron stars. Residual dissipation in the singular current layers might be the main mechanism for the magnetic field decay. The slow decay of the field might be the clock responsible for triggering the magnetar flares.
