Aelyndra raised a claw and traced a glowing pattern in the air. A circular design appeared, intricate and symmetrical, pulsing with energy.
"Magic circles work much like array formations. By creating a structured framework, they allow for greater precision and control over different perimeters that go into the formation of a spell. Instead of relying solely on mental visualization, the circle channels and refines the mana for you once learnt. With a magic circle, even a learner can cast a powerful spell without needing to understand the spell itself, just what goes into creating it. If that makes sense."
Lance leaned forward, examining the glowing design with curiosity. "It does make perfect sense, but wouldn't that be harder to learn?"
"Yes and no. Magic circles require technical knowledge and intelligence, but they eliminate the randomness of raw visualization. Once mastered, they allow for stronger and more stable magic."
