# Magic Circles

A magic circle consists of two textures: one inner texture and one outer texture. Currently magic circles are only displayed during rituals executed at the [Hephaestus Forge](https://wiki.valhelsia.net/external-mods/forbidden-and-arcanus/wiki/blocks/hephaestus-forge).\
\
Magic Circles can be configured using JSON files within a data pack in the path `data/<namespace>/forbidden_arcanus/magic_circle`.

| Name            | Description        | Value                      | Required |
| --------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------- | -------- |
| `inner_texture` | The inner texture. | A valid resource location. | true     |
| `outer_texture` | The outer texture. | A valid resource location. | true     |
