Magic Laboratory

"In my Laboratory you can create various useful items!"

- Master Owl

The Magic Laboratory is the menu in Cookie Run: OvenBreak where Magic Ingredients can be assessed, purchased, crushed into Magic Powder, and most importantly, crafted into new items. A variety of items can be created in the Laboratory, including Magic Candy, Gacha Keys and Tickets, Spirit Potions, and currencies including Coins and Rainbow Cubes. The Magic Laboratory is operated by an NPC named Master Owl.

The Magic Laboratory opened on June 26th, 2018, the same day that Blessing Tickets, Special Blessing Tickets, Breakout Replay Tickets, and Treasure Enhancement Tickets were introduced. Magic Candy could be crafted from other menus as early as February 28th, 2017.

On October 27, 2022, the Magic Laboratory was revamped, allowing players to now craft Special Pet Eggs, Special 10+1 Incantations and Special Cookie Chests.

Crafting
Most recipes require three different Magic Ingredients, though some require only two. Legendary Cookie's Magic Candies require a crafted Ingredient combined with two others, so in total they require five different Magic Ingredients. If the needed Magic Ingredients are not owned, most can be bought with either Crystals or Magic Powder. Creating an item also requires a Coin payment, which varies by recipe and ranges from 5,000 to 300,000 for normal recipes and up to 499,000 Coins, the price of a level 5 Legendary Magic Candy.

Since the April 27th, 2022 update, Magic Candies are now guaranteed to succeed. Before the update, Level 1 Magic Candies and Magic Candies for Legendary Cookies always succeed. On failure, a few C-Rank Sugar Crystals are refunded, but the rest of the resources including Coins are lost. Master Owl informs the player when a recipe has a guaranteed chance of success

After being crafted, some high level recipes have a cool down period before they can be repeated. For example, Rainbow Cubes can only be crafted every three days.

Revamp and Controversy
On October 27th, 2022, the Magic Laboratory received a revamp that allowed the creation of Special Cookie Chests, Pet Keys and 10+1 Treasure Incantations, but turned a majority of the base items into blueprints that can be found in all game modes but have a higher chance on being found in the game mode listed on its location. Rather than having the base items being converted to Blueprints to introduce people to the system, said items were changed to Magic Powder instead. Ingredients are also no longer being able to be purchased using Crystals.

Players who were already outraged by the Millennial Beast mechanic in the Team Fight the previous update, as well as Poison Mushroom Cookie having English voiceovers even in Thai, Japanese and Mandarin (which already had voice casts for Poison Mushroom Cookie) that cannot be reverted, Raid Run's long runtime and slow offensive Skill activation, and the Diary rework were particularly negative about the update, criticizing it for poor game designing and an excessive approach at monetizing the game, although some praised the ability to create Special draws that used to be uncreatable.

Criticism of the 6th anniversary revamp was mainly aimed at the 7-day cooldown for Diamond Sugar Crystals, the conversion of base materials to Magic Powder rather than Blueprints, and the exclusivity of repeatable farming methods for Diamond Sugar Crystals in Raid Run, already worsening Devsisters' dwindling stock market value in the past year. A bunch of YouTubers have commented on the issue, including Jung Dex, who was allegedly accused of sending a death threat to the developers, and game reviewer Supreme Dex of Treasure Hunter, who would make a video surrounding the controversy.
