Although magic circles are often constructed on two-dimensional surfaces, they can also be constructed in three-dimensional space.
Magic circles can be created through various means, from drawing designs and arranging certain objects, to using the positions of the stars themselves. If there's a difference between what the caster intended and what is interpreted incorrectly on the magic circle, the spell will go out of control. However, as a result, the more complicated a circle is, the more difficult it is to control it. Other things and words are written along the circumference of the circle to draw power from what they represent via Idol Theory, like the name of the angel whom the power is borrowed from, the type of element, the amount and quality of Telesma needed and how it's going to be used, etc. As the amount of information given to a magic circle has a direct relation with its power, magical symbols like the pentagram, the hexagram, the Star of David, or Seal of Solomon are drawn within the circle for additional effects. There are various elements which can be used within a magic circle and various forms which they can take - the simplest and first form being that of a lone circle.
