The Farmer enters the western part of Cindersap Forest and finds Magnus assessing the strength of a magical barrier. Magnus explains that when witches and wizards choose a home, they take on the responsibility of maintaining the magical barrier which protects the local residents from monsters. He then states that Camilla, the witch of Castle Village, maintains the largest such barrier in the world.
Player has received Magnus' letter about the Shrine of Illusions, after reaching 4 hearts with him.
Description: Shrine of Illusions
Magnus brews a potion for the Farmer that allows them to begin accumulating mana and cast minor magic. He then meets the Farmer in the basement and teaches them to use the Shrine of Illusions. Impressed by how quickly the Farmer learns, Magnus suggests that he may teach the Farmer more magic in the future.
The Farmer comes across Magnus working at his Ancient Fruit crops. He is adding a magical pesticide to keep insects away. He says that in addition to keeping away bugs, he has to protect them with magic from his ex-wife's hexes. Magnus shares that while he likes his role in the valley, it has been difficult having his heart broken twice. If he ever loves again though, it would likely be for someone who appreciates plants, prompting the Farmer to say:
"My farm has an awful lot of plants..."
Magnus laughs and reminds the Farmer that beyond plants, there is still the cauldron smell to get used to. He then heads inside, saying he has some business to attend to and asking the Farmer to stop by again soon.
"That shouldn't be too hard to find around here."
Magnus reflects on the number of people in the valley with talents for plant growing and ponders that it might come from living so close to nature. He then heads inside, saying he has some business to attend to and asking the Farmer to stop by again soon.
The Farmer enter's the Wizard's Tower to find Magnus on his summoning circle surrounded by excited Junimos. He attempted to cast a spell to communicate with them more, and it backfires causing the Junimos to have an increased interest in him. He asks the Farmer to read some lines of a spell in his magic book to help with the rambunctious Junimos. All but one of the Junimos disappear after the spell is read, and Magnus asks them where they come from in the forest. The screen fades and a message displays, describing their time with the Junimo and the forest spirit's eventual departure. Afterward, Magnus asks the Farmer whether they were suppressing a laugh over Magnus being jumped on by the Junimos. They respond either:
"Never, crossed my mind."
Magnus doesn't quite believe the Farmer, but appreciates they are trying to spare his feelings. He suggests next time he might visit the Junimos in the forest, rather than try to summon them again. Before going to explore the woods, he asks the Farmer to keep the story to themselves.
"To be honest... yes, absolutely."
Magnus laughs and suggests next time he might visit the Junimos in the forest, rather than try to summon them again. Before going to explore the woods, he asks the Farmer to keep the story to themselves.
The Farmer enters the forest where Magnus has something to show them. Holding the Farmer's hand, he teleports both to Grenville Falls, a magical forest far away. He says it's one of the most beautiful places he's seen in his travels. The camera pans across other parts of the forest while gentle music plays. Magnus then says that while they've so far only discussed practical magic, there are moments of joy it can bring as well. He wants to share this happiness with the Farmer, summoning a banquet table covered in a large feast to the forest clearing. Before they eat, he thanks the Farmer for all the joy they have brought him and the two share a kiss.
Player has repaired the house on Ginger Island and seen Magnus' 14 heart part 1 event.
Description: Under the Sea
After you head outside of the ginger island house after sleeping in it. You talk to Magnus on the beach he mentions different courting rituals and says he is slightly jealous you got to him first before he could do it to you, He then encases you and him in a magic bubble to go underwater and you do and see some ruins and head in them as the wizard calls a mermaid. and the mermaids song heard in the vanilla game plays without alot of the weird effects and obtain a mermaid's bracelet the mermaid then winks then swims off.
You then arrive back on the surface.
Then the wizard asks what do you think and you kiss them.
He says the greatest gift you gave him wasn't the amulet it was helping him find a way in using magic in a way he thought was lost to him.
The Farmer enters the Wizard's basement and begins reading a book. Magnus appears, startling the Farmer, and explains that nobody from Pelican Town has ever taken an interest in his books. Magnus gives the Farmer permission to read any book in his basement, and says that he may teach the player to use the Shrine of Illusions if they earn his trust.
Player has seen the event where they find the Junimo scroll in Aurora Vineyard. If in a multiplayer game, player must be the host
Description: The Junimo Scroll
The farmer finds Magnus sitting outside his tower. He says that intense magic is surrounding them and asks them what they've done, to which the farmer explains what they found in Aurora vineyard. Magnus asks about an object the farmer is carrying, and they realize there's something in their pocket. They take out the scroll, and after inspecting it, Magnus asks them to come inside.
Inside the tower, Magnus attempts to decipher the scroll using magic, but is unsuccessful, so he summons a colleague to help. A few moments later, Camilla arrives, teleporting around the room to mess with Magnus and the farmer. She greets the farmer (Note: her dialogue here will vary depending on whether or not Camilla and the player have already met.) At Magnus's prompt, she looks at the Junimo scroll, saying that it looks like it was written by a child. She then explains that a Junimo, who has taken up residence in the old vineyard, is requesting 200 starfruit. She tells the farmer it looks like they're on the verge of making a new friend. She then proceeds to flirt with the farmer until Magnus tells her off, at which point she tells him he's no fun before warping out.
The Farmer enters the Wizard's Tower and is greeted by Magnus, who says he was expecting the Farmer's arrival. Magnus explains who the forest spirits who live in the Sprite Spring are, and says that the Farmer's magical potential continues to surprise him.
As the Farmer steps out of their front door, they're greeted by Magnus who says that it has come to his attention that the Farmer has made the acquaintance of Jolyne, guild leader of the First Slash. Magnus then allows the Farmer to use the warp to the First Slash guild hall in his Nexus.
While married, Magnus moves onto the farm like other spouses, getting his own room and spouse area outside. Inside he adds a magic circle and shelves of books to his room, while his outside patio gets two ruined columns.
Magnus continues to go to his tower on Monday thru Thursday, using it much like an office for his work protecting the valley. Friday thru Sunday he will remain on the farm following regular spouse behavior, unless Morgan has arrived. In this case he will leave on certain dates for training sessions.
In the morning Magnus might gift a Triple Shot Espresso, and in the evening for dinner he can gift Roots Platter, Dish O' The Sea, Tropical Curry, Mango Sticky Rice, or Farmer's Lunch. Magnus will also try baking on occasion, gifting the Blueberry Tart, Rhubarb Pie, or Chocolate Cake results. In the fall he may gift Purple Mushroom or Chanterelle from foraging.
“I wish I could go into town to get seeds for my garden, but going into Pierre's store is a little awkward for me. And that Joja monstrosity isn't even worth mentioning.”
Tuesday, with 6 hearts
“Why do I choose to live out in the forest on my own? Largely because it's more convenient for my magic. It's in close proximity to the magical spots in the forest. Not to mention, my cauldron occasionally produces some very strange smells. I'd probably get complaints.”
Wednesday, with 4 hearts
“How goes your interactions with the Junimos, [Farmer]? I've encountered a few now. They're certainly a strange sort.”
Thursday, with 4 hearts
“Today, I'm strengthening the wards that protect the valley. I'm happy to do the work of maintaining them.”
Saturday, with 6 hearts
“Olivia certainly has some strange ideas about mysticism. I wonder what they teach her in those yoga classes. I may take her on for some tutelage to make sure she's on the right track...”
Sunday, with 4 hearts
“Doing well today, [Farmer]? Glad to hear it. I'm heading into the forest to forage for ingredients later.”
“I always know spring has arrived when I can hear the trees singing of new growth. Mmm? Yes, of course the trees sing. You can hear them too, if you listen carefully.”
Spring 3rd, Morning
“I think I'll do a little cleaning today. ...You won't blame me too much if I use some magic to help it along, right?”
Spring 9th, Evening
“I need to think up a new spell soon to impress you...I don't want you thinking I'm losing my touch!”
Spring 18th, Evening
“We should go on a little retreat together soon. I can pull some strings with the Guild to find us a place in a cozy little town in the mountains somewhere.”
Summer 9th, Evening
“With all the heartache in my past, I never thought I'd wake up to days as sweet as these... Thank you for giving a grumpy old wizard a chance.”
Summer 15th, Evening
“Growing things always bring a surplus of mana to the world around them. It's so concentrated on this farm that it's almost overwhelming. It feels so tremendously alive.”
Summer 18th, Evening
“A new spell I was testing backfired. I feel... not quite myself. If you wake up to a frog in the bed tonight, I left a little satchel of powder on the table. Just sprinkle some on me.”
Summer 25th, Evening
“I don't know how you worked in Zuzu City. The smells and the noise there would give me a headache. I prefer places that are more tranquil, like Stardew Valley.”
Fall 3rd, Evening
“You keep the refrigerator very well-stocked with the products of the farm. It makes it difficult for me to be useful by offering to do the shopping.”
Fall 9th, Evening
“What a wonderful place this is to return to. I must say... I treat my tower more as an office these days. I'm not sure when it happened, but this farm is home.”
Fall 17th, Morning
“Don't work too hard today. I don't want to have to levitate you home. ...If you do pass out somewhere... a good friend of mine will take care of you.”
Fall 23rd, Morning
“I'm rearching an ancient Elvish spell today for the Ministry. It's quite exciting work. There's much we can learn from those who came before...”
Winter 2nd, Evening
“Remind me to show you the charm I've been working on recently. It's a spell of protection, but the effects are quite eye-catching.”
Winter 15th, Evening
“Monsters are very curious creatures... Despite them being prevalent in several regions and in underground caverns, we still don't know much about them. I'm certain Camilla knows more than I do. It's one of the fields she specializes in.”
Winter 17th, Morning
“I'm running low on some of my potion supplies. I'll need to head into the forest to collect more soon. Snow yams contain a lot of starch. A perfect life potion ingredient.”
Winter 24th, Morning
“I have a little ritual planned in here for later today. Don't worry, it won't make a mess.”
“I usually find a spot on the cliff and observe the flower dance from afar, but I have a feeling that you won't let me get away with that. If you wish to take my hand in dance, I'll be happy to oblige.”
“Can you feel them, dearest? The ocean creatures are alerted to the human presence on the beach. Go and enjoy the festivities. I shall join you later. Also.. err. Save me some of that roasted ham Linus is cooking up, will you?”
“I prefer this spot in the shade to being out in the moonlight. Eyes aren't required to experience the Lunaloos' arrival. The Lunaloos... or 'Moonlight Jellies', as they're more commonly known, possess an unusually potent magical aura for an aquatic life form.”
sniff sniff* Something in the fall air smells both delicious and fried. Perhaps I should... investigate. I believe it's coming from the town fountain.”
“This is the one day out of the year where I get to show the town my full power as Stardew Valley's resident magic practitioner. Say, are you impressed with this year's maze? It took a great deal of time and energy to summon it...”
“Oh, [Farmer]! I'm overjoyed to see you here. Perhaps after the festivities are over, I can show you the arcane potential this particular spot holds...”
“Linus is a close and dear friend of mine. He doesn't feel comfortable at the plaza, so I'm here to accompany him. Spread joy wherever you can, dearest.”
