The school-building mechanics in Mind Over Magic are complex, as you need to consider both architectural and interior factors. The placement of your rooms plays a great role in the development of your school. To create certain room types you need to meet some conditions.

We’ll tell you the basics on Magic Carta, from what it is, to how to play it – and why you should.
Starting with keywords for a specific room, you need to place your room in the correct position to successfully make it. You also need to furnish it properly, as you definitely won’t be needing beds in your classroom. Your Mages rely on you to provide them with the necessary facilities, so make sure your rooms are well-equipped.
Start With Basic Rooms
You don’t need anything grand at the start, and you are given limited space to work with, you should get started with the most simple rooms. This will help you manage the space you are given efficiently. You can always expand your schools with larger and advanced rooms after clearing more Fog around the school building.
Basic Rooms also have few resource requirements, so it’s also easier to build them considering that you have access to a few materials around your school grounds. Your staff number is also limited, so you can only gather a few materials by the end of the day.
Build Around The Middle
The Fog is encroaching towards your school from both the left and right sides. It will continue to grow if you do not control it, however, if you keep your school building around the middle of the grounds, it will give you more safety to work with.
Instead of placing rooms on the sides, you should build them on top of each other. The school building will be tall, and you will need stairs to get your mages across every area. You will also need to build enough support, so your school can withstand its height.
You should only start building at the sides after you have enough space to spare.
Build Essential Rooms
The students enroll in your school to hone their skills as mages, so providing them with a classroom should be your first priority. However, taking care of the needs and convictions of your dedicated staff members is important as well. If you make a mistake, or you need better furnishings, you can always deconstruct the school to get your spent materials back.
You need a bedroom, and you can build the Austere Bedroom as a starter by purchasing some Cots. The Mages also need to eat some food to survive, and for that, you should build the Dining Room. We also recommend building a Common Room for recreational purposes.
As you progress, you will need to keep up by building luxurious rooms for your Mages.
Beware Of Void Shrooms
You will sometimes notice the growth of Void Shrooms in your rooms. This happens when your rooms don’t have enough light, so place Wall Torches to avoid that. Void Shrooms drain 30 Mana in one hour if they grow completely.
If you see one sprouting in a room, you should remove it immediately using your Nature Mages. Harvesting it gives Voidcap, which is a crafting material used to make some furniture,
Build Chests To Avoid Clutter
Clutter in the rooms in your magic school looks less appealing. However, it has a much worse effect as it can cause Gremlins to appear, which may destroy the stuff you have gathered through your hard work.
Building a storage chest makes your school look cleaner, and you don’t risk losing anything. You should place several of them around the school, especially near the work areas.
You should also get Water Mages to regularly clean your rooms to avoid the Filth status effect.
Craft Important Facilities
You will have access to some facilities like Student Summoner and Mana Font from the start. However, your school needs much more to function well. For starters, you should get a Wand Shaper to be able to summon students in the first place and assign them their first wand.
We also recommend building an Arcane Secretary for research purposes. This will allow you to unlock more furniture and luxurious items that you need to keep up with the progress. Furthermore, we also suggest building Gutberry Planters and Gruel Pot to take care of meals.
The Rooms Need To Be Accessible
There is no point in building rooms if your mages are unable to access them. Make sure to always place a door, so they can enter it any time. We also recommend building a hallway across the walls to traverse the rooms in between walls.
Make sure that your Mages can get across both sides of the School Ground, so place additional doors across rooms that lead outside. If you have placed rooms vertically, you also need to build stairways, so your Mages can move to upper floors.
Check The Codex For Keywords
Your Codex contains all you need to make any specific room. This includes keywords that you can think of as requirements you need to fulfill to successfully create any type of room.
Looking at keywords first will help you plan. For example, if you want to make a Conservatory, you need a room to be Towered to finish building it. You can do that by simply making a room higher than others.
