Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Magician

Magician is the first mode that you unlock after beating the game. In this mode you have severely crippled strength and defense, as well as reduced HP. On the other hand, you have tremendously high MP and intelligence (to the point that you, for all intents and purposes, have infinite magic) and you start the game will all 20 cards, including the two that you can only get after beating the Battle Arena. You'll be relying heavily on summons, familiars, and elemental protection. The beginning is much easier since you have so many abilities that you lacked in VampireKiller mode. However, as you get further along it will balance itself out as you will reach the point where the VampireKiller would have the same abilities but with better stats.
