Getting your first magic
Step
Magics spawn and move around the map, so you need to stay alert and move quickly before another player grabs one. Your money earns even while you are offline, so log in regularly to take advantage of whatever has accumulated. The moment you own a magic, you can start battling and working toward bigger goals.
- Watch the map magics move around, so keep scanning the whole area instead of standing still.
- Spend your money fast another player can snag the same magic before you if you hesitate.
- Try Rebirth doing so raises your maximum health and grants other benefits.
- Jump into combat once you have a magic, test it in a fight right away.

Magic rarity tiers
Table
There are four named rarity tiers. Each one you obtain unlocks a badge, so reaching the higher tiers is both a power upgrade and a milestone.
| Rarity | Badge unlocked | Badge description |
|---|---|---|
| Legendary | Legendary Grab | That sparkle looks expensive |
| Mythic | Mythic Moment | Now don't lose it in 3 seconds |
| Ascended | Ascended Aura | You're officially dangerous |
Stealing magic and getting it back
Tips
Beyond buying, you can steal magics directly from other players. Your first successful steal unlocks the First Heist badge, and the count keeps mattering: ten successful steals earns Sticky Fingers, and fifty earns No Life Magic. Getting caught during an attempt earns the Oops... badge. If someone steals from you, recovering your magic earns Magic Reclaimed.
- Getting caught during a steal attempt triggers the Oops... badge, meaning the attempt failed.
- If you get robbed, recovering your magic earns the Magic Reclaimed badge.
- The milestones at 10 and 50 successful steals unlock Sticky Fingers and No Life Magic respectively.
