There are various elements which can be used within a magic circle and various forms which they can take - the simplest form is that of a lone circle.

Magic circles often include magical symbols in order to draw power from what they represent via Idol Theory.

Magic circles can be created through various means, from drawing designs and arranging certain objects, to using the positions of the stars themselves.

Trivia

• One particular magic circle is featured prominently in the anime and manga adaptations of Toaru Majutsu no Index, as well as their promotional materials and related media. It consists of a circle containing a pentagram, with a smaller circle circumscribed by the center of the pentagram. Several sets of letters are arranged around the perimeter of the circle, with crosses separating them. In some versions, two larger circles surrounding the base circle and letters. The sequence of letters is as follows (clockwise); "ISCATC+HFIMMMP+MNIP+MNIA+ICY+ISWS".
