What Are Magic Circuits? The Spiritual Engine of Magecraft
At their core, thac Circuits are a set of spiritual nerves that exitt with in the soul (and, by extension, thee body) of a magus - they act as the conduits for magical energiy, converting the life force of the wielder (called crop1; contral1; FLT: 0 contraits 3; Od contra1; Od contra1; FLT: 1 contra3; FL3;) or external mana from froe contrae into thfuel contrad to perfom magecraft.

How Magic Circuits Function: From Activation to Thaumaturgy
Using Magic Circuits is a multi- step process that separates the armchair theogitt from the true magus.

Te Different Types and Qualities of Magic Circuits
In te Nasuverse 's meticulous ranking system, Magic Circuits are capized by quantity, quality, and composition. Te quantity is simply thee number of constituits in a magus' s body.
