A device that makes a '''very''' clear and theoretically uncrossable demarcation between Inside and Outside. Done with much ornate ceremony by [[wizards]], chanting and occultism by young and impressionable wannabe-witches such as [[Diamanda|Diamanda Tockley]], and by scuffing her boot around in the dust to make a rough circle by [[Nanny Ogg]]. However it's done, it needs to be pretty good to keep all the serious magic inside and have none of the effects get to the outside. Anyone inside the circle is fair game for whatever turns up.

Used by practitioners of [[magic]] and by demonology [[hackers]] such as [[Eric]] to provide a space in which [[humans]] may safely interact with [[Supernatural Entities]].

A Magic Circle has also been used creatively, ie to allow [[Rincewind]] and [[Eric]] to remain in exactly the same place while aeons, or maybe even Ians, of time and evolution pass by on the other side of a very thin chalk line. This also allows them to evade the personal attentions of a very irritated King of the [[Demons]] called [[Astfgl]].

Magic Circles are generally drawn as circles, although for Wizardly purposes, such as for the [[Death]]-summoning [[Rite of AshkEnte]], they are drawn as a regular [[Octagram|octagram]].
