also the magic circle behind the npc is meant to be more transparent and have some effectws, not be a single frame

There is a way out — Mar's Forest is one of those maps that was deliberately built as a puzzle.
When you arrive you're standing ON the exit: the blue portal at the top right of your minimap. Pressing Up right where you land takes you straight back to Ellinia. If you walk left along that top branch you'll fall, and once you're down below, the only route back up is the map's hidden teleports:
- stand at roughly x 236 on the ledge at y 322 and press Up — it puts you on the middle-right ledge
- then at roughly x 476 on that ledge (y 105) press Up — it puts you back on the top branch, a short walk right of the exit
(There's a third pair on the left side too, at x -268 and x -261.) None of them have any artwork, which is exactly how the original map is authored — the map's own in-game help text even tells you hidden portals exist and to press ↑ to find them.
I compared our copy against the original v83 file line by line: same 95 platforms, same 9 portals, same coordinates, and no ropes or ladders in either. So nothing is missing on our side — it really is just a hidden-portal map.
