Recently I was wondering about how should a magic circle look like.
Like, in all the anime, the ones I watched at least, it's always just a flat circle, and that's it, probably with an exception of overlord, but it also applies there, because they are connecting magic circles in high level magic with almost nothing more than a thin mana line. That just seems inefficient, and seems like it would lead to massive time/mana losses.
So, I thought why not make them three dimensional? That's already much more interesting, as it immediately gives us an upper limit to a magic circle, along with a bottom one.
Like
1-level:
It's not even a circle, it's just a dot, representing basic mana manipulation
2-level:
We got a line now, which means that this level is a basic manifestation of an elemental mana
3-4-level:
A square, a circle, basically whatever 2-dimensional shape. They also can be inceptive now, leading to magic formations within magic formations, therefore leading to a manyfold increase in complexity, allowing two-dimensional circles to claim two magic levels, as in
3:basic two dimensional circles
4:inceptive two dimensional circles
And finally
The ultimate levels of magic circles
Levels 5-6:
Three dimensional circles, with two levels, for the same reasons as two dimensional ones.
They are, again, not necessarily circles. Cubes, spheres, pyramids, whatever.
Although I think that the more symmetrical a circle is, the more efficient it becomes, but
Why bind your imagination and talent to a single shape?
As a final note on magic circles, I wanted to mention the tables of elements.
They are also, usually, portrayed as 2 dimensional and, while here it doesn't affect basically anything, I thought it would be cool to make a 3 dimensional representation.
And the circle becomes a neat tetrahedron, with all possible combinations fitting perfectly within and on it.
Though I can't really draw and make a visual. Yet.
I'll repost later with a visual and continue my essay.

Thinking about Eddie Munson who was complaining to the rest of the band about his shoulders and neck hurting post show. One of them convinces him to go for a massage.
Eddie shows up day of and is told to strip to level of comfort and get under the sheets laying on his back, his masseuse will knock before coming in. Eddie has not an ounce of care or shame, strips completely naked. Scars and tattoos on full display. He climbs between the sheets and waits. After knocking and hearing a "come in", his masseuse enters and-
The most handsome man he's ever seen walks in. A bit of stubble on his defined jaw, soft pale lips Eddie wants to kiss, big brown eyes Eddie wants to get lost in, slutty little waist and an ass Eddie could-
He introduces himself as Steve. Verifies where Eddie had said his tension was on the form he hastily filled out. Then it starts.
And maybe, maybe, Eddie is a bit touch starved. He could have anyone he wants, but they don't want him just his fame. Pushes them all away. Only gets close to his band, but they all are busy and have their own people outside of work.
And Steve is just touching him. Rubbing smooth circles into his temple, down his cheekbones towards his jaw. Pressing on parts of Eddie's face he didn't even realize were tense. It's relaxing.
And Eddie regrets not leaving at least his boxers on to help hide that he's becoming hard. Kind of embarrassing, which makes his dick harder- which, that's a lot to unpack right now-
"Hey, relax man," Steve says, laying a gentle hand on his shoulder. Eddie can see Steve's eyes dart towards the obvious situation," It's natural. Happens to the best of us." "Does it happen to you?" Eddie blurts out. Eddie wants to shove his face in one of these soft plush pillows and scream, but Steve just snorts a laugh and shakes his head at him. Doesn't even respond as he continues the massage.
Eddie tries to hold back his groans as Steve turns his head to the side and rubs his neck into his shoulders. He can feel the tension leave his body slowly. Feel the knots in his muscles release.
Eddie can't, however, hold back the noise he makes when Steve grabs a hold of his hair and tugs it. Eddie's eyes pop open and he stares into Steve's face, who has started blushing. Steve just clears his throat and let's Eddie's hair go before continuing the massage.

For the record I think Vox is being effected and possibly swayed by Val’s poison just like Angel is, the pink signifying it on Angel shows up on Voxs screen during and after interacting and being influenced by Val directly, when Vox is operating independently it isn’t an actual normal feature of his
This paired with an earlier moment from episode 2 when Val first mentioned something had happened with Angel Dust, Vox seemed happy about the idea of Angel quitting
“He quit? :D”
It’s interesting for sure, makes me wonder what Vox actually thinks about Angel, and more importantly, actually thinks about Valentino. He’s a business man, and clearly the Vees all teamed up (at least initially) because it helps elevate their status and power spread, they may be friendly with each other but we as an audience don’t actually know if there’s more to it as of now. But still, interesting
