Magic Circles are an interactive game mechanic from Paper Mario: The Origami King. Olivia assists Mario in using them, allowing both of them to fold into a variety of different things.

Magic Circle Abilities[]

This ability is also used to extinguish flames caused by the Fire Vellumental.
  • Fire Vellumental - Allows Olivia to turn into the Fire Vellumental. In battle, Mario rides on Olivia's back as she breathes fire at the center of the ring which spreads around, damaging all enemies. This ability is also used to burn tape laid down by the Tape boss and to melt the ice protecting the Ice Vellumental.
