Magicant is created when [[Ness]] gathers all the [[Eight Melodies]] of the world. Magicant has illusions of friends and enemies Ness has met on his journey, and old memories of his family, friends, and the younger versions of himself. His Magicant also changes colour depending on who he talks to, and it can be reverted back by talking to sunflowers or walking out of a building. The first area is a grassy area with giant vegetables, the second area is snowy, and the third area is a large swirling pink-coloured path. It has a hotel free of charge, and a shop that only sells [[Pendant#Earth pendant|Earth Pendants]] and {{linkitem|recovery|EarthBound|Magic pudding}}. To the north of the second area is where the [[Flying Man]] house is located. | Magicant is created when [[Ness]] gathers all the [[Eight Melodies]] of the world.
