Shovel Knight has access to magic in the form of Relics, where he can use these Relics at the cost of magic points (similar to Hearts and Sub-Weapons in Castlevania games). Each Relic uses a certain amount of these magic points, with Shovel Knight starting out with a total of 30.
Whenever the player gets to the Village, they can find a NPC in the same room as the Gastronomer, who will take gold in order to upgrade their magic. This can be done seven times, giving Shovel Knight a total of 100 magic in the end.
