Magic mirror booths are becoming increasingly popular additions to events such as weddings, parties, and corporate functions. These interactive, touch-screen devices offer a unique and fun photo-taking experience for guests. Unlike traditional photo booths, a magic mirror booth is a full-length mirror that allows individuals or groups to take high-quality photos. The mirror is equipped with a camera and various interactive features such as animations, voice guidance, and customizable photo layouts. One of the key features of a magic mirror booth is its ability to capture full-length shots, allowing guests to showcase their outfits or costumes in their entirety. The touch-screen interface allows users to customize their photos with different filters, frames, and digital props, adding a personalized touch to their pictures.

This design is not only present in the subclass s Lunar Boons feature, but is also present in each of the High Sorcery feats that will be included in the book as well. Note that this extra 1st-level spell cast is the only effect of the lunar phase until later levels; the Sorcerer has access to all 15 spells at all times, no matter their lunar phase.
The touch-screen interface allows users to customize their photos with different filters, frames, and digital props, adding a personalized touch to their pictures. Magic mirror booths also offer a range of interactive features to enhance the photo-taking experience. For example, guests can sign or draw on the mirror with their finger, adding a fun and creative element to the photos.
Lunar Sorcerer Preview (& Apparent Changes)
An article was recently posted on D&D Beyond that gives details on the new Lunar Sorcerer subclass that will be featured in the book. Though it is not a word-for-word look at the exact text of the subclass, it does provide details on some things that may have been changed from the UA version.
Below is a list of the apparent changes that were made to each subclass feature, as well further design info on Lunar Phases. For reference, I have also included links to the Unearthed Arcana articles for Krynn, the new preview article, and the interview with Crawford that is included with that article.
Now that Shadow of the Dragon Queen is in the hands of some people, I have updated this post to include the full changes made to the subclass' features, as well as some links to preview videos.

Lunar Spell School Changes:
Before I go into the changes made to the subclass, one design element that has received some changes from the first UA is the associated schools of each Lunar Phase/Moon of Krynn.
In the video, Jeremy Crawford mentions that each Lunar Phase/Moon is associated with two schools of magic. This design is not only present in the subclass's Lunar Boons feature, but is also present in each of the High Sorcery feats that will be included in the book as well.
One major thing to note, however, is that the printed schools for the High Sorcery Feats and Lunar Boons feature of the sorcerer subclass do not match. This is mostly assumption on my part, but given the change to the spell list of the subclass, I am inclined to believe that the schools listed in the High Sorcery Feats are the correct ones and that there was some sort of printing error in the subclass feature.
The following schools are the ones mentioned in the feats:
The Full/White Moon is associated with Abjuration and Divination. (This was Abjuration and Conjuration in the first UA.)
The New/Black Moon is associated with Enchantment and Necromancy. (This was Evocation and Necromancy in the first UA.)
The Crescent/Red Moon is associated with Illusion and Transmutation. (This was Divination and Transmutation in the first UA.)
Subclass Changes:
Lunar Embodiment (1st level):
- The Lunar Magic table has been almost completely changed from the UA. You still get a total of 15 extra spells (3 every two levels; one for each Moon Phase), but the spells you get now are as follows:
[note that the schools of these spells match up the associated schools mentioned above]
- After choosing a lunar phase at the end of a long rest, you can now only cast one 1st-level spell associated with the chosen phase without expending a spell slot (instead of being able to cast each associated spell for free, which is what the original language implied).
Moon Fire (1st level):
Lunar Boons (6th Level):
- According to the print, the only phase that has had its associated schools changed is full moon.
Full Moon: Abjuration and divination (previously conjuration)
New Moon: Evocation and necromancy
Crescent Moon: Divination and transmutation
However, given that the schools for New & Crescent don't match up with the schools of each of the associated Lunar Embodiment spells, or the schools of each of the High Sorcery Feats, I am inclined to believe that there is actually an error in the print here, and that the correct schools are the ones mentioned above. - The metamagic discount now only applies when casting spells of the associated lunar phase schools, instead of also being able to apply when you cast any Lunar Magic Spell.
Waxing and Waning (6th level):
- Once you get this feature, you can now cast one 1st level spell from each Lunar Phase of the Lunar Spells table once without expending a spell slot, provided that your current lunar phase is the same as the associated spell's.
Lunar Embodiment (14th level):
- The Full Moon benefit now allows you to shed or dismiss the light as a bonus action. Additionally, being in the bright light no longer grants advantage on saving throws; being within now grants advantage on Investigation and Perception checks.
- The New Moon benefit is the same, except that you now have to be within complete darkness for attack rolls to have disadvantage against you (instead of being within dim light or darkness).
- The Crescent Moon benefit is exactly the same.
Lunar Phenomenon (18th level):
- The Full Moon power is the same.
- The New Moon power is the same.
- The Crescent Moon power now allows you to bring along a willing creature within 5ft of you when you teleport, who teleports to an unoccupied space within 5ft of the point you teleport to. Additional, both you and the creature you take with you gain resistance to all damage until the start of your next turn.
- You can still use each of these powers once per long rest, unless you spend 5 sorcery points to use one again.
The mirror also has the ability to print high-quality photos instantly, serving as a memorable and tangible keepsake for guests to take home. In addition to providing entertainment for guests, magic mirror booths also offer benefits for event organizers. These booths are compact and easy to set up, requiring minimal space compared to traditional photo booths. They can be branded with logos and customized backgrounds, adding a professional touch to events and providing a promotional opportunity for businesses. Overall, magic mirror booths offer a unique and interactive photo-taking experience for guests at events. With their touch-screen interfaces, full-length mirrors, and range of features, they provide an exciting and entertaining way for guests to capture memories and have fun..
Reviews for "The Art of Self-Expression: Unlocking Creativity with a Magic Mirror Booth"
1. John - 2/5 - The Magic Mirror Booth was a complete disappointment. The quality of the photos was subpar, with blurry and pixelated images. The interactive features promised were laggy and unresponsive, making the experience frustrating. The props provided were worn-out and unappealing. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and money.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - I had high expectations for the Magic Mirror Booth, but boy was I disappointed. The booth itself was poorly maintained, with scratches and smudges all over the surface. The software seemed outdated, and the touch screen was unresponsive. The attendant didn't seem knowledgeable and couldn't help with any technical issues. I wouldn't recommend this booth to anyone looking for a fun and seamless photo experience.
3. David - 2/5 - My experience with the Magic Mirror Booth was underwhelming. The lighting was harsh, creating unflattering shadows on everyone's faces. The backdrop options were limited and not creative at all. The printouts took way too long to come out, causing a bottleneck of people waiting in line. For the price paid, I expected a much better photo booth experience.
4. Emily - 1/5 - The Magic Mirror Booth was a complete letdown. The instructions were not clear, and it took us a while to figure out how to start taking photos. The attendant seemed disinterested and impatient with our questions. The props available were few and seemed worn out. Overall, it felt like a cheap and poorly executed photo booth experience. I definitely won't be giving them my business again.
