The Ultimate Magic Student (WIP) (168K) (+11K 06/01)

My last time reading this was in March and I must say I am very impress with the progress you’ve made. The foundation of the game and the setting seems so much more stable and coherent now. And the plot feels so immersive it really draws you in.

I love the setting and love interacting with the characters they feel pretty unique and well thought out.

Also I must say that the combat system you’ve made is very unique and I love how interactive it is. I can’t imagine how hard something like that was to code. The only thing I would recommend as of right now is including is maybe a disclaimer to go check the glossary section to read what each stat does before we have to distribute our stat points for the first time.

EDIT: Actually a note about the combat system, so I just tested it by leaving myself up to 10 and it seems like right now as your spell level increases so does the mana cost. However it seems like this makes the spell less useful at least for me it does. Mainly because I could I can’t use the spell as often as I could before. Which made me have to focus more on my physical abilities even though I had been building up my magical abilities.

The spell Fireball for example was more useful to me at level 2 than it was at level 3. At level 2 I could one shot most enemies and I could cast it about 5 times before needing a mana potion but when it leveled up it cost 6 mana and I could only use it 3 times now.

In comparison to your physical attacks they also become more powerful as you increase your strength stat however there is no increase in stamina cost to use a physical attack at higher levels. Which makes strength far superior.

I think maybe keep the initial mana cost the same for a spell as it levels up or maybe make spells cost less mana as your intelligence stat increases.

I decided to post a theory that I had

My theory is that the MC is the initial sketch or rough draft of the protagonist for Ultimate Magic Student. This explains why the MC has a name and a system but lacks a backstory or background in the world. It’s likely the author discarded them before developing a full backstory.

That actually makes sense, the likely followup to this theory or rather addition is that they decided to use the rough draft/ sketch and made them a background side character as opposed to getting rid of said sketch.

True, or it could be like an Easter egg the author just threw in there that no one would know about

Can the mini-game be disabled and just be a skill check? It takes me out of the story.

Will we ever have a regressor character?

That would be really cool to be honest.
Where that character questions why is the past different from what they know and that even exists a new person (our Main Character) that they doesn’t recognize from the first life that has so much impact in this new unknown future.

And maybe they start thinking it’s their fault for changing the past

Happy New Year!

I didn’t get the chance to announce it here, but the Q&A answers I promised to make public are now available, and you can check them out by clicking here.

Additionally, we had updates “b” and “c”; you can check the patch notes here and here. (There were some good changes, so you should probably read it!)

You can find this week’s schedule here.

And, if you were one of the people who suggested a Spell in the Discord Forum that was available a few months ago, take a look on the server! I’m reaching out there to add the spells into the game.


For some reason, the image is not working on Dashingdon, even though I have checked several times that the image is there and should be working. I will have to contact an admin from the site :smiling_face_with_tear:

Maybe you know of another site where I can host it in case this problem persists?


Of course!


1- Yes, you will be able to become very overpowered just like them!
2- Only this universe.
3- I had written down a story that would span about 3 books, but after a sincere analysis, I will be cutting it down to 2 books. This, of course, if I don’t decide in the future to cut it down to just 1 book. I ask that you don’t focus too much on sequels, since although I already have the story planned, plans change.

But I guarantee it won’t go beyond 2 books.

I plan to write some, yes.


Nope! Free love for everyone!


I’ve been trying to fix this bug for over a month now! It’s genuinely getting on my nerves… I think I will need external help to fix this one. :sweat_smile:

I haven’t encountered this bug. Have you come across it again?


Sure, I will!

I was really worried about how broken the Fire Ball became when I made those changes to the mana, so I probably overdid it. I will definitely rebalance this Spell in the next patch.


I’m going to create an Auto Battle Mode where you don’t have to fight. But making it choice-based would be too complicated, as I would have to write both that and the battle system simultaneously.

If the battle mechanics aren’t to your liking (:sob:), God Mode + Auto Battle will probably be the best option.

There goes my plan to become a neet and reach max level in day 1 by ripping fairy wings off. That does simplify things though, probably a good decision.

Don’t mess with the ultimate magic student. We only dress for stats.

I don’t know if it’s just me so I’m asking
When i load my save on day three i keep ending up in the stat menu with know way of getting back to the main menu to sleep, buy items or any thing else
Which is basically forcing me to restart since i mostly only use two or three save close together
Can someone please help :persevere:

Common glitch in cog games with saves. Only way you can mitigate it is never touching the stat screen in my experience.
General rule is:
1)Never save in the stat screen.
2)Never make a main save after touching the stat screen.
3)Never delete an earlier save you’re certain you can return to.

I doubt Dashingdon wil be of much help as they don’t really touch that site anymore. Instead try cogdemos, it’s the newest and most up-to-date site for choicescript demos.
