Name
circle - Draw a magic circle.
Syntax
circle
Description
The purpose of a magic circle is to contain magic and to strengthen magic performed within it. Any magic performed inside a circle will cause a build-up of energy in the circle's boundaries, possibly causing harm to anyone attempting to pass the circle. Wet hens will need tonnes of witchy paraphernalia, while more experienced witches need only a good squint, although a witch's pointy hat always helps.
Example

You light the dark red candle.
You rub the mummified bat against the silver grail,
chanting the secret words of warding.
You walk backwards around in a perfect circle, tracing
your steps with the ceremonial bronze knives.
You finish tracing the circle.
