An arcane ambit is a category of magical practices that includes magical circles, pentagrams, and other enclosure shapes. Arcane ambits are frequently employed in Ritual Spellcasting to define the locus of the spellcaster, separate him or her from magical entities, and establish his function and attributes for the ritual. Arcane ambits can also be used in extemporaneous spellcasting. Some rituals require multiple arcane ambits, one to define the locus of the spellcaster, and one or more to define the locus of the summoned entity or entities.

The most effective arcane ambits require careful planning and execution, typically following a known structure.
