Guided Magic is the Wizard Monkey's path 1 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It doubles the lifespan of the Wizard Monkey's projectiles and allows them to seek Bloons over a short distance and ignore line of sight blockers. This upgrade provides several crosspath benefits:
- Fireball and Dragon's Breath ignore blockers and last twice as long.
- Wall of Fire lasts 2 seconds longer, gains a targeting option to set where the fires are placed within range, and can be placed behind blockers.
- The fire breath attacks of Summon Phoenix's and Wizard Lord Phoenix's phoenixes gain the same seeking properties as the Wizard Monkey's attack, though they're less accurate due to their projectiles' much higher speed.
- Shimmer can be triggered behind blockers.
- Necromancer: Unpopped Army's and Prince of Darkness's Undead Bloons last significantly longer.

Guided Magic's homing alone is inferior compared to other options like Monkey Sub, but it improves the Wizard's consistency against spaced out and faster bloons, allows it to ignore obstacles, and is valuable for Wall of Fire for its full uptime and free placement. Shimmer only needs Guided Magic if obstacles are a concern, and for Necromancer and Prince of Darkness the extra lifespan of Undead Bloons can be helpful for easier reach of targets far beyond its normal range.

- 1-3-0
- Dragon's Breath attack: Projectile lifespan increased ― 0.4s → 0.8s
| “ | Wizard Prince of Darkness is annoying to position correctly due to the sudden massive radius increase & it also needs a power nerf. So overall here we are moving all of the range increase down into a lower amount at the T3 so that range positioning is known before buying any necromancer upgrades, as well as moving some of the lifespan of the zombies themselves into the lesser used 1xx lifespan crosspath. — Update notes |

- 1-3-0, 1-4-0, 1-5-0
- Dragon's Breath: projectile now ignores walls
“
Wall of Fire’s exceptional T2 power needs to be moved around for improved crosspathing, along with a slight nerf to Phoenix as it is currently performing too well, and both of these upgrades are shifting some of their power into Dragon’s Breath so it can stand out as more than just a buff to WoF & a stepping stone to Phoenix.
