A magic square is a square grid made up of numbers, where the sums of the numbers in each row, each column, and both main diagonals are the same. Each number is used only once in a magic square. A 7x7 magic square is a magic square that consists of 7 rows and 7 columns. In this magic square, the sum of each row, column, and diagonal is the same. Creating a 7x7 magic square can be a challenging task. It requires careful arrangement of numbers in a way that satisfies the rules of a magic square.
The Talisman
Twelve-year-old Jack Sawyer embarks on an epic quest--a walk from the seacoast of New Hampshire to the California coast--to find the talisman that will save his dying mother's life. Jack's journey takes him into the Territories, a parallel medieval universe, where most people from his own universe have analogs called "twinners." The queen of the Territories, Jack's mother's twinner, is also dying.
It requires careful arrangement of numbers in a way that satisfies the rules of a magic square. The numbers used are typically consecutive integers starting from 1. To create a 7x7 magic square, we start filling the square from the central cell of the first row with the number 1.

Then, we move diagonally upwards and to the right from the current cell, and fill the next number. If the next cell is already filled or falls outside the square, we wrap around to the opposite side of the square. The process continues until all cells are filled. The final result is a 7x7 magic square where the sums of all rows, columns, and diagonals are equal. An example of a 7x7 magic square is as follows: 30 39 48 1 10 19 28 38 47 7 9 18 27 29 46 6 8 17 26 35 37 5 14 16 25 34 36 45 13 15 24 33 42 44 4 21 23 32 41 43 3 12 22 31 40 49 2 11 20 In this magic square, the sum of each row, column, and diagonal is equal to 175. Overall, creating a 7x7 magic square requires careful arrangement of numbers, and the result is a visually appealing mathematical pattern..
