When a [[Exit sign|Magician exit]] is triggered, the Magician will teleport [[Rayman]] to a target section and starting position designated by the level creator, thus behaving very similarly as he did in {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}. | |||
The [[Exit sign|Magician exit]] does not have a [[Ting]] cost, but a required amount of [[Magician token]]s can be attributed to it with a maximum limit of 999. If [[Rayman]] does not have enough, the Magician won't let him enter, with the required quantity appearing above | The [[Exit sign|Magician exit]] does not have a [[Ting]] cost in this game, but a required amount of [[Magician token]]s can be attributed to it with a maximum limit of 999. If [[Rayman]] does not have enough, the Magician won't let him enter and remain in his hat, with the required quantity appearing above it as he points towards the number. [[Magician token]]s won't be consumed when a [[Exit sign|Magician exit]] is used. | ||
While [[Exit sign|the Magician's unique exit]] is intended to serve as a bonus section entrance, as seen in the default levels [[Pink Plant Woods (Rayman ReDesigner)|Pink Plant Woods]] and [[Curse Chaos]], level creators can also use it for any other purpose as [[Exit sign|a portal]]. | |||
Unlike other [[Exit sign|exits]], the Magician doesn't prevent [[Rayman]] from moving while he comes out and casts his spell to teleport him, although [[Rayman]] can't prevent the teleportation once it's triggered unless he loses a life or takes another [[Exit sign|exit]], or if a [[killdoor]] removes the [[Exit sign|Magician exit]] in time. | |||
Like [[Exit sign|exit portals]], [[Exit sign|Magician exit]]s can function in midair. Placing a [[Exit sign|Magician exit]] slightly above the ground also prevents it from being accidentally activated when walking near it, instead requiring [[Rayman]] to jump to call the Magician. | |||
Additionally, the Magician was implemented as a decorative character in version 1.3.0, along [[Rayman]]'s other friends. This version of him is always seen outside of his hat and cannot be interacted with, but can be flipped or linked to events such as [[gendoor]]s. His evil counterpart, the [[Dark Magician]], was implemented in version 1.4.0 with that exact same role. | |||
His music themes featured in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' can be selected as a level music, or be triggered from a music starter since version 1.4.0. | His music themes featured in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' can be selected as a level music, or be triggered from a music starter since version 1.4.0. | ||
