'''Magical Inferno''' is a brutally powerful hyper, that can be used as a deterrent, a powerful weapon to take out many players, or a sniping tool for the opponent currently leading the game depending on the situation. The hyper is unique in that it is the only card that can both guarantee a KO and takes half of the opponent's stars as if a battle occurred. Similar to {{Ci|Ubiquitous}} and {{Ci| Special Stage}}, this ability gives the card a potentially massive star payout depending on the timing of the card. At best, the player can KO all the opposing players, giving them well over 100 stars and easily paying off the price of the card. A well-timed Magical Inferno can essentially "remove" certain opponents from the game by setting them far behind in the later chapters of the game, especially if they fail their recovery roll multiple times. In the right circumstances, the card can steal victory from the lead opponent, render them unable to fight back, and enable the player to win instead. The card also works as an excellent deterrent once the player reaches norma 3. Most opponents, if they cannot reach Mio, will choose disadvantageous paths to prevent themselves from standing next to Mio. Overall, with the right timing, and a bit of luck, Magical Inferno can reap massive rewards for the player. |

Mio's hyper is Magical Inferno. When activated, Magical Inferno will release a blast of fire that will KO all opponents in the same uninterrupted column or row of panels as Mio and give Mio half their stars. The player's turn will then end. (An opponent is required to be in striking range for the hyper card to be activated. The fire has to run on a straight line of panels with no gaps to hit the opponent and it cannot hit opponents on the same panel as Mio.)
Strategy
Magical Inferno is a brutally powerful hyper, that can be used as a deterrent, a powerful weapon to take out many players, or a sniping tool for the opponent currently leading the game depending on the situation. The hyper is unique in that it is the only card that can both guarantee a KO and takes half of the opponent's stars as if a battle occurred. Similar to 
Ubiquitous and 
Special Stage, this ability gives the card a potentially massive star payout depending on the timing of the card. At best, the player can KO all the opposing players, giving them well over 100 stars and easily paying off the price of the card. A well-timed Magical Inferno can essentially "remove" certain opponents from the game by setting them far behind in the later chapters of the game, especially if they fail their recovery roll multiple times. In the right circumstances, the card can steal victory from the lead opponent, render them unable to fight back, and enable the player to win instead. The card also works as an excellent deterrent once the player reaches norma 3. Most opponents, if they cannot reach Mio, will choose disadvantageous paths to prevent themselves from standing next to Mio. Overall, with the right timing, and a bit of luck, Magical Inferno can reap massive rewards for the player.
