This week, the leylines align, refresh our MP and have us discuss songs about that most fantastical of gaming elements: magic!

Join us as we get into magical bouts in Street Fighter V, deal with ancient magic in Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, and also just marvel at the kinds of musical magic Tim Follin pulls off in Solstice and... Pictionary?!

You can listen along to the music discussed here via the playlist on our YouTube channel: Music Arcade 97

We're also on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/music-arcade.bsky.social
