Update notes via Steam Community
A new version of Magic Research 2, version 1.6.3, is now out for everyone. This is a medium-sized update with mostly a lot of UI changes and improvements, with the goal of trying to reduce friction while playing the game.

Full patch notes below.

New features and changes

  • Add new event that triggers if defeating Winged Sphinx a second time (on a different Retirement) and a new item
  • Add ability to select equipped items by pressing on them
  • Remove unequip buttons from equipped item display; items can be unequipped instead by double pressing them
  • Add ability to jump to Transmute an item by clicking the item name in the cost display
  • Sort Transmutations of materials in the Transmute screen by material type (Paper, gems, ores, ingots, etc.)
  • Add ability to input a specific number quantity in a few areas in the game, including in the amount transmuted by Wizards
  • If there are no empty slots, equipping a copy of a Pouch item that you already have equipped, instead of placing it in the first slot, it will instead replace the lowest quality equipped copy
  • After clearing the "Convenience" Storyline, Enhancement purchases can now be queued
  • Synchro grids can now be named
  • Synchro bonuses can now be filtered by Element
  • Synchro bonuses will reveal their effect if you have ever unlocked the requirements for its effect in any retirement, rather than at the current time
  • Synchro UI for grids slightly improved
  • Improve display of damage numbers in Exploration screen, hopefully also solving their performance issues
  • Improve visibility of Familiar row swap button
  • Reorder items in Strategy menu in Exploration screen, for better visibility of Exploration Config options
  • Item quality no longer applies to items that do not get direct bonuses from it
  • Auto-combine items will now unequip Pouch items outside of battle
  • When specifically auto-combining healing Pouch items, it will now also unequip and replace the lowest quality item (outside of battle)
  • Foresight now shows the timer next to the Events menu button if collapsed and on a wide screen
  • The following menus are now badged: Study (if there are free researchers and they are not being auto-assigned), Familiars (if there are any idle Familiars), Rituals (if corruption is above safe limit)
  • Small backend performance improvements
  • Allow ability to load backup save data when facing an error (to prevent being permanently stuck)


Bug fixes

  • Fix display of critical errors (errors on loading saved data)
  • Fix "dancing" Menu buttons when a different button is pressed
  • Fix "Transmute, Channel and Purchase" button not appearing for Enhancements
  • Other minor fixes


Balance changes

    - Item Astrologer's Robe effect reduced (+1000% -> +500%) to compensate for the new item added
