Plan your next The Magus Circle session
Our independent guide walks you through The Magus Circle’s core systems—drawing inputs, mage selection, planetary challenges, progression activities, and accessibility options—so you can make informed choices without relying on hidden tricks or undocumented mechanics.
01 / THE GUIDE
Compare Drawing Inputs
Use the same spell with mouse, tablet, and touch screen. Note any differences in speed, accuracy, and comfort to decide which input best matches your rhythm.
- Try the time‑slow option if rapid drawing feels difficult.
- Switch between mouse and tablet to discover which feels more natural.
02 / THE GUIDE
Explore Mage Skill Trees
Spend a run focusing on one mage’s tree, then switch to another. Record which upgrades feel most natural for your drawing speed and compare the strategic variations.
- Read each mage’s backstory to understand their thematic focus.
- Experiment with a few mages early to see which skill tree aligns with your playstyle.
03 / THE GUIDE
Adapt to Planet Hazards
Play each planet without upgrades, observing enemy patterns and environmental effects. Replay with a chosen upgrade set to see how difficulty changes.
- Observe enemy patterns on each planet before tackling the boss.
- Save before a boss fight to test different spell combinations.
04 / THE GUIDE
Test Accessibility Modes
Activate time‑slow and time‑freeze separately. Compare how each mode affects your ability to draw complex sigils, especially when using a controller.
- Explore each progression option to see which you find most engaging.
- Use the save‑anytime feature before trying a new activity.
05 / THE GUIDE
Sample Progression Activities
Try unlocking a familiar, brewing a potion, and planting in the garden during a single session. Observe how each activity feels and decide which you prefer to explore further.
- Disable Microsoft Ink on compatible tablets if drawings are not recognized.
- Activate time‑freeze when using a controller for steadier input.
