Magic Research is an enthralling game where you are the headmaster of a newly-created institution of Magic. Your goal is to learn as much as possible about magic and gain enough fame to compete in, and win, the prestigious Tournament of Magic. But what will you discover along the way?

For beginners, it's important to follow the quests given at the start of the game. These simple tasks, like hiring a researcher, will guide you through the game's mechanics and provide a solid foundation for your magical journey.

A key factor in Magic Research is choosing your Primary School. Your choice will determine the research speed on Retirement. The Element feature halves the mana cost of the element related spells. For beginners, Earth (stone creation) or Water (water creation) are recommended choices. These elements provide practical benefits that will help you in the early stages of the game.

As you progress through the game, you'll encounter Storylines. These are specific objectives that persist through retirement and offer permanent bonuses to all future runs. Storylines can be triggered either statically, meaning they are guaranteed to occur immediately upon meeting the unlock conditions, or randomly, meaning they have a chance of occurring.

One strategy to adopt is to grind faster illusion to get a buff quickly, then focus on conjuration to gather more resources. As you advance, upgrade your enchantment for magic artillery and summoning for your last pet. Protection can be used for some buffs (like dispel), and alchemy can be used to create new items like silver bars.

The game also allows you to run your small town, gathering resources and managing your institution. This adds another layer of strategy as it requires efficient resource management and planning.

Remember, the aim is not just to win the Tournament of Magic, but also to learn as much as possible about the magical world. So, don't be afraid to experiment and try different strategies! After all, being a headmaster is all about learning and adapting.

And most importantly, have fun! Magic Research is a game that offers endless hours of strategic play and magical exploration. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your journey to becoming the most renowned headmaster of magic.
