The battle rages onwards, and you feel like your power is... not quite enough. More... more...!!! You need more power! And so, what better than to summon more allies? Perhaps something that will give you more strength? But to do that, you'll need a magic circle!

Your Task 🔮


Create a magic circle using shadows and a light source! You may not use any already-made magic circles or similar objects for your main magic circle. Paper cutouts are acceptable, so long as you're the one who made it.

FAQ 🔮


Q: Can I use a dreamcatcher (or similar object) for my magic circle?
No, you may not use any already-made magic circles or similar objects. This includes dreamcatchers or acrylic magic circles. You must make the magic circle yourself: paper cut-outs are acceptable, as are circles made of yarn, sticks, etc. If it was made solely for this event and wasn't manufactured or made by someone else, then it's acceptable!

Q: Does it have to be a circle?
As long as it recognizably fits the theme and is somewhat roundish, we will accept it. For example, octagons, hexagons, and circles with protruding shapes would all be fine.

Q: Can I use negative space for the magic circle (i.e. the magic circle is made from light instead)?
Yes. In a sense, this is still using shadows to make a magic circle -- you're just filling in the outside of it rather than the inside!

Q: Can I use fairy lights or other light sources?
You may not use fairy lights or similar to shape the magic circle: the magic circle itself must be made using shadows and a light source. However, you may use fairy lights (and other light sources) as decoration if you would like.

If you have questions about what is acceptable and what's not, please ask!
