Description

A neat magic circle thingy, done in the style of SierraEX. His arcane circles from back in the day still make for excellent wallpapers. I really like how he manages to make them perfectly balanced, despite the asymetry in many of the designs.
 
In the center is the cutie mark of Fallen Star, a pegasus whose special talent is magic and a character from Sharaloth’s incredible fanfic, Harmony Theory. It’s a different interpretation than what I’ve used in the past for that character. I was rereading an old chapter, and she says her talent glyph is a prime magic circle, “Seven points, seven lines, seven places, seven paths.” My old design had more than seven lines, and I’m a stickler for technical accuracy. :P

I don’t know whether it’s a traditional thing; I was mimicking the style of SierraEx, whose arcane circles often featured 2 or 3 small circles with a character’s initials in them:

In my own drawing here, the small circles contain the initials L-F-S, for “Lady Fallen Star.”
 
(BTW, Thanks for linking the image properly and tagging part of your text as a spoiler; I’m trying to remain spoiler-free going into the new season, so I haven’t actually seen the image you put there. This gets me very curious; are there magic/summoning circles in Season 7 ???!! Hmmm……)

I hope this is pony-related enough to be posted on this site. I realize it’a a bit borderline…
