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).

;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]].

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.''

:'''Magic Themed Costume Set''':
+
=== Historical ===
−
::The Magic themed female costume parts include hats, chest, pants, gloves, boots, and magic robe pieces. The Magic themed male and huge costume parts include hats, hood, skull mask, wizard beard, high collar cape mantle, boots, jackets and more. Describing how cool these costume pieces are doesn’t do them justice, so on to the screenshots!
+
−
:'''Mystic Fortune Power''':
+
−
::Ever wanted to have your fortune read in game? With the Mystic Fortune power players will be able to offer to read each other’s fortunes. Having your fortune read gives a power buff based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot, and can give a positive or negative effect on that character for the next 20 minutes.
+
−
:'''Costume Change Emotes''':
+
−
::Characters with multiple costume slots unlocked will also have an exciting new way of customizing their characters; costume change emotes! Super Booster II: Magic includes 4 costume change emotes these emotes activate when characters switch their costumes, and are selectable in the costume change interface.
