How to Create A Magic Circle [Quest5's Guide]

quest5 · September 10, 2020, 2:29pm

Creating a [WoM] magic circle is simpler than you would think so.

There are only 4 components of this circle which are:

Circle (4)
Hexagons (4)
Runes
Icon

STEP 1
There are a total of 4 circles–Two large ones and two smaller ones. They are positioned similar to the image below.

STEP 2
Using 2 hexagons, position them in which a vertex is in the middle of an edge. Refer to the image below.

STEP 3
Similar to step 3, positioned the last 2 hexagons in the same position. The hexagons are smaller and each of the vertices will touch the middle of the vertices of the last component. (Simplified Explanation: Rotate the shape so the tips can touch where the green and purple intersect)

STEP 4
Combine the three components so that it matches the image below.

Your circle should now look similar to this

STEP 5
The hardest step of creating a magic circle is the runes. Due to the rules of the forums and game, I can not give too much information about them. However, you can create your own runes or use the template below.

STEP 6
This is the final step of creating a complete magic circle. There are many icons you can use–the ones in-game or you could create your own icons. Below are examples of icons used in-game.

If you don’t know already, I posted the entire set of [WoM] magic circles and their variations in the art channel. These are for the public to use.

By the way, if this should be moved to off-topic, mods please let me know or move it. I just realized this now. Thank you

I am not writing the same phrase over and over. It’s pain

Definitely! Especially if they decide they want to create their own or know the basis of WoM’s circle.

It really is… it really is

As a person who understands what it means, it is a fucking pain to write over and over

This is really helpful! The one part of the magic circle that I could never properly get until now was the hexagon thingys

And as just a random side note, I come up with my own rune designs when drawing magic circles since I dont rly feel like learning the ingame ancient language and when I run out of ideas for runes I just start drawing random bits from Chinese characters lol

Thanks! I’m glad it’s helpful for you. The first time I’d done this the hexagons was a pain too.

Lmao, I thought about making a fake one with Korean charas since I don’t know Cantonese or Mandarin
