I figured with Clear Card's finale, I'd try my hand drawing Kaito's magic circle.
Image made by myself in about 8 hours using references in chapter 35 of Clear Card using a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The watch hands are kinda original since the references I found were blurry or obscured.
At some point, I intend to write a mega post on CLAMP's magic circles and how to decipher them. I'll provide an example and gauge interest.
Like for instance, Syaoran circle is designed after the Feng Shui Loupan (also called a compass, which makes sense on how he uses it to locate things).
According to this source, here is the translation of the Chinese characters:
From the characters closest to the yin-yang symbol and going around clockwise (all starting from the north-most position), they read:
冬、春、夏、秋 - winter, spring, summer, fall
水、火、風、地 - water, fire, wind, earth
北、東、南、西 - North, East, South, West
天、鬼、地、神 - Heaven, Demon, Earth, God
There is also I-ching iconography, which also has a meaning per trigram.
N: K'an (Water)
NE: Chen (Thunder)
E: Ken (Mountain)
SE: K'an (Water)
S: Li (Sun)
SW: K'un (Earth)
W: Sun (Wood)
NW: Ch'ien (Heaven)
The most interesting part is the crescent moons to the west and east, while the alchemical symbol for the sun is in the south. Usually CLAMP will feature the 'element they align with' (sun, moon or stars)... like with Sakura's circle and eventual transformations.
Sakura Kinomoto's first Magic Circle, which is Clow Reed's Magic Circle as depicted on the Clow Card Fortune Telling Guide.
A brilliant six pointed Sun being protected by the Moon, meaning this magic has a tendency to be masculine since its Clow Reed's.
That's why when the Sakura Card's come into existence, Sakura's magical circle also changes since she's using her own magic to power the cards.
Similar to Syaoran's, this Circle also indicates the proper cardinal directions, starting from the topmost going around clockwise.
北、東、南、西 - North, East, South, West
Now for the fun stuffs,
We have the mashin/rune god symbols depicted:
Rayearth: NW, Windam: North, Selece: SE
Water and Fire are on opposite sides while Wind is North. Maybe the first card that Sakura used was intended, or maybe it's a coincidence...
But as a wise woman once quoted, "There is no such thing as coincidence."
Well, here's Yuuko Ichihara's circle too. Western zodiac is displayed around the Cephiro mashin/runegod sigils... featuring one that's not in MKR thats honestly just a stylized infinite symbol.
The beautiful iconography of the moon cycle in the center, featuring a full moon for the element or water and a new moon for the element of wind. Even magatama are featured.
While Clow Reed's Circle is very Western/Chinese influenced and Yuuko Ichihara's is very Western/Japanese influenced, they still prefer to refer to the elements using the 'Cephiro Sigils' as opposed to Alchemical Symbolism.
... also Fai D. Fluorite's staff is featured... or at least a similar design?
D?
D.
Look really closely at the bottom of Clow Reed's Circle....
D...
Clow Reed potentially was a part of The Magic Association and maybe even stole their secrets, hence why he's been able to do inhuman feats while being shockingly human.
Dies?... He'll just fracture his soul in 2 parts just to put the association off of his trail.
It's not too crazy to jump to that logic either since he knows of Cephiro (and True Mokona too) and the magic they have access to, including whatever training the magic association put him through.
I think the main question is, was the Clow Card's actually made by him or did he steal it from the magic association? Do the cards attach themselves to their most powerful user, meaning they had another owner and another name in the past?

genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
