Circle Magic

Circle Magic (서클 마법, Circle 魔法, *Seokeul mabeop*) is a terminology of the Karsearin: Adventures of a Red Dragon, The Creature and In Dreams.

## Summary

A circle is a unit of measurement to determine the level of one's magic. When a mage casts a spell, the flow of mana looks like a circle, hence the term. First, a mage draws a cirle by pouring their mana into a space they envision. Following the law of mana, a miraculous power comes to life and becomes magic. The number of circles of light one can create this way determines the level of the magic spell. The higher the number of circles, the more exponentially difficult it is control the mana.

Currently, only magic up to the Eighth Circle is passed on to humans, and only the record that magic of the Nineth Circle or higher was used in ancient times remains.

The author said the magic of this novel is the magic that he creates at will, so please don't say that it makes sense to say that the Dig Magic is in the Nineth Circle (really, the Dig Magic is not the Nineth Circle, it is the saying) he just used the expression "Circle" because there was no other unit to classify it, so he would be really grateful if you could see it that way.

A person uses their magic to make their mana flow spatially and turn it into the desired shape of their contractor. An easy example, if a person build a wall in a stream, the water will pool. It is a curse to completely block magic when the water pools and stops the flow of water, if the person throw a rock into it, even if it's not as huge an obstacle as a wall and the water will still run smoothly. It should flow, but the flow changes subtly, and it doesn't matter whether the flow changes subtly or not, but if the mage's mana flow changes, it will become difficult. The flow of mana has changed so that magic cannot be activated. It is similar, but the space where the mana cast by the mage flows are not material, but a huge space in their conception, anyway, it is a much larger space than people think, as it is such a space, the flow of mana flows to various places, and even if a small rock is placed there to block the flow, the magic that suppresses its use is bound to be limited, but low circle magic is a huge net rather than a rock, a huge net woven with thin threads, it does not interfere with the flow of mana itself, but it's a magic that can interrupt the flow of all mana, and why mages don't want to become warriors even though there are magics like Haste, magic to increase muscle strength, and magic to increase body vision. It's because they're busy learning magic and doesn't have time to take care of themselves. Of course, for that reason, mages are weak, but they have stamina, strength, and magic that can increase everything, it's strange because they never do hand-to-hand combat. It is the same principle that they grant abilities by grafting curses, sub-magic, or mana, and once a curse or sub-magic is applied, the external mana must remain in the person's body to maintain the curse, so, if he cast various sub-magic, the number of spells that cause collision of flow increases, sub-magic also collides with each other, so he can't spell all of them, he can cast Haste if it is Haste, and Strength Assist Magic if it is a Strength Assist Magic, but they cannot cast two or three at once, in addition, if a mage uses such sub-magic, they will be extremely limited in their use of magic, the mages must have been quite embarrassed because the flow of mana flowed arbitrarily. If they can use any magic when under that curse. Even if it's not just that curse, it will be difficult to use magic when it is under any curse or sub-magic, and if it doesn't collide, they can use it, but a mage who uses sub-magic on their body and works mana, doesn't exist. Who will use the Seventh Circle's Absolute Magic Seal because First Circle spell is enough. But whether it is easy to remove the huge wall blocking the stream or to remove the net woven with thin threads, as easy as it is to cast a spell, of course, anyone who has mastered First Circle can unleash it quickly. If the mages were like that because they didn't even master the First Circle properly. On the battlefield they seems to have forgotten that life goes back and forth in the interim between the spells, once they know the composition of mana, they can unlock it, so it will take about a minute, and that time is enough to lose their life on the battlefield.

## Trivia

* Circle Magic draws heavily from the circle magic settings of the Dungeons & Dragons series (D&D) and Ultima series (especially, Ultima Online). However, they are not exactly the same, for example Flame Strike can be used by magicians, unlike in D&D where it's a devotion spell.
