The numbers in each square are arranged so that the totals of the columns, rows, and diagonals are all equal. The sum of these numbers is called the magical invariant. In medieval Europe, magic squares were believed to have powers that transcended nature, so they were used as talismans to protect against the cursed eye, plague, and other illnesses. (Reference: “Mystery of Form 1” Bruno Munari)
