Magic circles are the worst magic meme ever.
They looks so fucking stupid and impractical to use.
Magic circles are the worst magic meme ever

Okay?
Why did this need a thread?
Daniel Adams
Thats because he is using them wrong. Probably because the director wanted to focus on the actor's faces rather than the battlefield or their feet.
Alexander Bailey
ur gay
Angel Adams
That's not a weapon, that's a sign to everybody with two brain cells you're channeling a spell and they should crack your skull in right now.
Jeremiah Carter
You didn't say weapon, OP.
Levi Rogers
Glad I'm not the only one who hates the "muh glowing rune circle" shit, wish folk would be more creative with magic these days.
Luis Perry
>Implying I'm OP
Nathan Davis
Hermetic magick is just so much more visually appealing then wand waving or saying things backwards
Andrew Lee
Sparkles is more creative?
Nanoha franchise loves circles and is way cooler.
Jaxson Morgan
But the magic was the only good part of the Dr. Strange movie
Leo Bailey
If you could magically manipulate that much metal, why would you not just redirect the shell's course so that it misses you?
Seems a lot safer than risking having sword shrapnel tear through your body.
Hunter King
Pretty sure her magic lets her control her swords, not metal.
Noah Green
That seems oddly specific.
James Gray
it's magic. It's literally a force to bullshit around real world logic and science to do cool fiction shit
Jordan Garcia
So would it work on wooden swords? Plastic toy swords? Sharp lengths of metal with no grip? What if t was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, what if it was a heap of raw iron?
Brody Clark
I think that as long as it is CONCEPTUALLY a sword, its fair game. Thats how this usually works in anime.
Its the same sort of magical rules lawyering that allows Emiya Shirou (who can make copies of any sword he has ever seen) to make clones of Tsubasa from Symphogear (who thinks of herself as a sword, to the point that she physically cannot harm an enemy who has magical protection from blades in specific until she has an emotional resolution where she stops thinking of herself as a sword anymore).
Technically, Shirou can dual-wield Tsubasas and as far as magic is concerned the math checks out.
Leo Bennett
That's why you have the meatshield distract them first. What, did you think party balance was a meme?
Austin Clark
You use 'em as weaponized frisbees.
Kevin Butler
I love them conceptually. I just don't like the sparkler effect they added, makes 'em feel like cheap fireworks instead of a mystical construct of arcane force.
Dominic Campbell
>magic
>practical
Bentley Ward
If they're sun discs they're good by me.
Tyler Ortiz
fireworks are synonymous with "land of the east" mystique. I like the application too, but I can see the "validity" of sparks.
Jaxson Thompson
Hellblazer's magic is the coolest because it actually requires ritual.
Jeremiah Watson
I like em. Rune circle magic is best visually as well
Noah Jackson
>Magic
>Practical
Pick one
Jordan Johnson
This, what the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Magic circles are just a visual thing, how are they practical or impractical? And even if they were, impractical magic isn't a bad thing in itself, it can be pretty interesting.

Oh child, you have so much to learn
