Magic Priorities
Magic ranks come from Fire Dart progress after you unlock Magician Mousey. Spend ranks where they solve your current Darts problem.

This list is not a universal buy order. Pick by blocker: economy for normal room funding, imbuement support for Magic EXP, and Arcane/Poison effects for Shadow Realm damage. The Orange ticket jackpot can double available magic points per rank, so check that Lotto route before assuming the next Magic rank is the only answer.
Practical Advice
Section titled “Practical Advice”- If Shadow Realm fights are the blocker, favor damage, poison, and Arcane tools before pure gold.
- If you are using Darts to fund later rooms, Golden Dart and global Darts gold scaling matter more.
- A jackpot on the Orange ticket doubles available magic points per rank, so Lotto progress can indirectly improve Mousey.
- Resetting magic stats is supported by the save manager, so magic should be treated as a flexible build tool rather than a permanent trap.
