== Overview ==
On December 1, 2008, [[Positron (Developer)|Positron]] mentioned in an interview that the second Super Booster would be a magic theme. [http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/01/joystiq-interview-ncsoft-talks-about-updating-city-of-heroes-ke/]
'''Super Booster II: Magic''' includes witch-styled costume pieces for female characters, magician- or wizard-styled costume pieces for male and huge characters, four juggling emotes, a card trick emote, four [[Emotes#Costume Change Emotes|costume change emotes]], and a [[wikipedia:tarot|tarot-reading]] power, '''Mystic Fortune''', that grants buffs to the targeted player (not a self-buff). This purchase enables these features for all characters on the game account. It is available in the NC Store for $9.99.


;Joystiq:''You've said before that the team has more microtransactional content planned already. Do you have any details to offer on any of these future 'Super Booster' packs?''
Players who purchase the [[Architect Edition]] box set get a free code good for either [[Super Booster I: Cyborg]] or [[Super Booster II: Magic]] only. [[Super Booster III: Superscience]] and [[Super Booster IV: Martial Arts]] are not available.


;Positron:''Super Booster II will be a magic-themed pack that will sit alongside the Cyborg pack very well. It will have costume pieces and other goodies that are themed for both stage magicians as well as your more traditional fantasy mages.''
As of [[City of Heroes Freedom]]/[[Issue 21]], this booster pack is only available by applying an Architect Edition box set. The costume pieces, emotes, costume change emotes, and tarot power are available through the [[Paragon Market]].

== Costume Pieces ==


On January 8, 2009, [[JLove]] mentioned that the magic theme includes a cloak-like item instead of long skirts or robes. [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=12902414#Post12902414]
=== Male ===
:''Just so you know, because knowledge is power. Robes, skirts, and other shoot that goes beyond the knee looks like trash. I have tried to make a long skirt but it just doesn’t work out to my high standards of fine quality. If I think it looks bad that means you; the players, will loathe it even more.''

:''What I have going on for the magic set; that is done and complete, is a compromise. I wouldn’t call it a robe per say, it’s more like a cloak of sorts. I don’t know when marketing is going to release pics and crap, but I think that you guys will like what I did.''

:''Magic is a pretty broad theme and trying to wrap it up in a single costume set was a bit of a task. I ended up breaking what I had in mind in to male and female sets. I try to please the masses but I know somebody out there is going to say “oh man, why didn’t he include this, or that?” and to that I say tough nutz.''
