11Overview22The Magic System in Roco Kingdom: World encompasses a set of spells and abilities that players learn progressively throughout the game. Unlike spirit skills, which are used during turn-based battles, player magic is primarily used in the overworld for exploration, traversal, puzzle-solving, and spirit capture. Some spells also have combat applications during boss encounters. All magic is learned through the Magic Academy, a floating sky city that is the game's main transportation hub.44A key distinction of this game's magic system is that the player character can use magic directly in the overworld, not just through their spirits. This means players actively cast spells while exploring, climbing, gliding, and fighting, making the trainer an active participant in the world rather than a passive commander.66Magic Level Progression88Every player has a Magic Level that determines which spells are available and how powerful they are. Magic Level acts as the overarching progression metric for the entire magic system. Advancing through tiers unlocks new spells, strengthens existing ones, and gates access to endgame content like the Territory Trial (which requires Magic Level 50).1010TierChinese NameLevel RangeKey MilestoneMagic Apprentice魔法学徒Starting tierUnlocks basic Star Magic and first spell set1-Star Mage一星魔法师~Level 10-15Unlocks second spell tier and basic alchemy2-Star Mage二星魔法师~Level 16-25Unlocks Water Repelling Charm and transformation3-Star Mage三星魔法师~Level 26-35Unlocks Wind Riding and advanced crafting recipes4-Star+ Mage四星+魔法师~Level 36+Unlocks advanced Star Magic; requires defeating Magic Guardian Beasts1313Progression Methods1414There are three main ways to earn Magic Level experience:1616Main quests and star-rank advancement tasks: These are the primary source of Magic Level XP. Each main story chapter and star-rank promotion quest awards a substantial chunk of experience. This should always be the top priority for leveling.Daily and weekly tasks: These provide a stable, repeatable source of XP. While individually smaller than quest rewards, daily tasks add up significantly over time and should never be skipped.Combat application: Using magic in the overworld and during boss encounters grants small amounts of XP. This includes casting Star Magic on wild spirits, breaking shields in boss fights, and using traversal spells while exploring.19194-Star Advancement2121Reaching 4-Star Mage status is a significant milestone that requires more than just accumulating XP. The advancement quest involves a series of battles against Magic Guardian Beasts that test the player's ability to flexibly switch between different spells during combat. These encounters cannot be brute-forced with a single spell; players must read attack patterns and respond with the correct spell type. For example, some Guardians deploy barriers that require Water Repelling Charm to dissolve, while others fly into the air and can only be reached with Wind Riding followed by a Star Magic strike.2323The 4-star advancement fight emphasizes flexible spell switching under pressure. Players who have only invested in a single spell will need to go back and level up their weaker spells before they can pass this test.2525The Magic Academy2727The Magic Academy is a floating city in the sky that functions as both a learning institution and the central transportation hub of Roco Kingdom: World. Players visit the Academy to learn new spells, upgrade existing ones, and access teleportation arrays that connect to major locations across the Kaluoxi'a Continent. The Academy becomes accessible early in the main story and remains a key destination throughout the game.2929Teleportation arrays within the Academy provide fast travel to every major region. This makes the Academy the most efficient waypoint for long-distance travel, especially before you have unlocked all regional teleport beacons.3131Spells3333The following table lists all known player spells, along with their primary functions and how they are obtained.3535SpellTypePrimary FunctionHow to UnlockStar MagicCombat / CaptureStun wild spirits for capture; break boss shields in combat encountersEarly story progression (first ability learned)StarfallCombatOffensive magic spell for boss encounters and scripted eventsMagic Academy questlineLiquefactionExplorationTransform terrain or objects, allowing passage through obstaclesMagic Academy questlineWater Repelling CharmTraversalCreate breathable air bubble for full underwater explorationMagic Academy questline (mid-game)AlchemyCraftingTransform materials into other items at alchemy furnacesMagic Academy questlineWind RidingTraversalAerial movement and gliding, complementing mount-based flightMagic Academy questline (mid-to-late game)TransformationUtilityChange player/object form for puzzles, stealth, and hidden area accessMagic Academy questline3737Star Magic3838Star Magic is the first and most versatile spell in the game. It serves two primary roles: overworld spirit capture support and boss fight shield breaking.4040Overworld Use4242When cast near a wild spirit in the overworld, Star Magic stuns the target briefly, preventing it from moving or fleeing. This gives you time to approach the spirit, position yourself behind it for the backstab capture bonus, and initiate the encounter. Without Star Magic, faster and more evasive spirits would often escape before you could get close enough. Star Magic also interacts with certain environmental objects; some puzzles require casting it on glowing or shimmering objects to activate mechanisms, reveal hidden passages, or trigger scripted events.4444Combat Use4646During certain boss fights, enemies will deploy protective shields or barriers that block all spirit attacks. When this happens, the player must cast Star Magic to break the shield before their spirits can deal damage again. This mechanic adds an active player element to the otherwise turn-based combat system, requiring you to watch for shield cues and react quickly.4848Hypnosis (Star-Class Magic)5050Hypnosis (催眠术) is a star-class magic added in the June 18, 2026 update. The caster launches shimmering star dust from the fingertips that bursts on the target, applying a 12-second stun that prevents the target from using skills. It expands the star-magic toolkit beyond the basic stun-and-shield-break role, giving players a longer crowd-control window in the encounters where it applies. See the Patch Notes page for the patch context.5252Star Magic Discovery: Ancient Cave5454Advanced Star Magic is unlocked through a hidden discovery in the Ancient Cave (超古代洞穴), specifically within the "Soul River" (灵魂之河) area. This advanced version significantly increases magic attack range and damage, making it a substantial power upgrade over the basic form.5656How to Find Soul River5858The Soul River area is located deep within the Ancient Cave, near a cliff face that requires the gliding ability to reach. Without Wind Riding or a flying mount, this area is inaccessible. Look for a gap in the cave wall along the upper cliff path; the entrance is not marked on the minimap.6060Unlock Steps6262Enter the Ancient Cave (超古代洞穴) from the northern entrance of the cave systemNavigate to the Soul River area by following the upper cliff path and gliding across the gapCollect floating golden stars scattered along the river using charged attacks to attract themAfter collecting enough stars, the boss "Star Guardian" (星辰守护者) appearsBreak the Star Guardian's shield with 3 consecutive charged attacks (each charge takes approximately 2 seconds to wind up)Once the shield is broken, defeat the Star Guardian with normal attacks to complete the discovery6464After defeating the Star Guardian, the advanced Star Magic is permanently unlocked. The upgraded version has noticeably larger area coverage and deals significantly more damage, making both overworld captures and boss shield-breaking much more efficient.6666Water Repelling Charm6868The Water Repelling Charm creates a breathable bubble around the player, enabling full underwater exploration. Bodies of water across the Kaluoxi'a Continent hide submerged caves, treasure chests, and underwater spirit habitats. Before learning this spell, water is impassable beyond surface-level traversal with the Duck Jiji water mount. Several water-type and dark-type spirits are exclusive to underwater habitats, making this spell essential for completing your spirit collection.7070Wind Riding7272Wind Riding grants aerial movement capabilities independent of mounts. While mounts like the Storm Bird provide sustained flight, Wind Riding supplements this with gliding and short-burst aerial movement. It is particularly useful for reaching elevated platforms, crossing gaps, and navigating vertical terrain in areas where mount flight is restricted. Some exploration puzzles require the precise control that Wind Riding offers but mount flight does not.7474Alchemy7676Alchemy allows players to transform materials into other items. This spell is used at alchemy furnaces found throughout the world and in the player's home. The primary use is converting excess materials into more useful ones. This keeps no resource goes entirely to waste. Recipes are learned progressively: basic ones when you first learn the spell, and advanced conversions as you complete Magic Academy quests and discover recipe scrolls in the world.7878Transformation8080Transformation magic allows the player to change their form or the form of objects in the environment. Applications include disguising yourself to sneak past enemies, shrinking to fit through small passages, or transforming environmental objects to solve puzzles. Certain hidden areas are only accessible while in a transformed state and often contain rare treasure chests, hidden spirit encounters, or lore fragments.8282Overworld Magic Usage8484One of the distinguishing features of the magic system is that players can use magic directly in the overworld. This is not limited to just puzzle-solving; the player character actively participates in exploration through spellcasting:8686Star Magic can stun and lure wild spirits from a distance before engaging in battleWind Riding enables gliding from high points to cover large distances quickly without a mountWater Repelling Charm opens up entire underwater zones for exploration and spirit captureTransformation lets the player access areas that would otherwise be blocked by size or stealth requirementsAlchemy furnaces scattered across the map allow on-the-spot material conversion during exploration runs8888This design philosophy makes the trainer feel like an active participant in the world, rather than a passive commander who only directs spirits. Magic spells are just as important as a strong spirit team for progressing through the game.9090Progressive Unlocking9292Magic spells are not all available from the start. They unlock gradually as you progress through the main story and complete Magic Academy questlines. Each new spell opens up previously inaccessible areas and mechanics, encouraging you to revisit earlier zones with your expanded toolkit. The recommended approach is to return to previously explored areas after learning each new spell, as you will often find hidden paths, new spirit encounters, and treasure that you missed on your first visit.9494See Also9696Getting Started - beginner's guide including Star Magic basicsHidden Secrets and Collectibles - secrets that require magic to accessMounts - mount-based traversal guideSpirits - spirit index including underwater exclusivesTerritory Trial - endgame content requiring Magic Level 50
