Magic phase movement refers to movement via rituals, which occur in the "magic phase" before ordinary map movement is resolved. It is often expensive, but allows a commander and/or their army to move much further than ordinary map move would allow in one turn. Magic phase movement is a powerful tool for unexpectedly reinforcing provinces and catching opponents off-guard, or 'catching' enemy armies/thugs that would have moved somewhere else in the ordinary movement phase.

Magic phase movement cannot 'catch' opponents that go into stealth that turn.
