An excellent way to break in with a magic square!

For those who need to know (I had to look it up from the puzzle Four Leaf Magician):
A magic square is a set of non-repeating digits that form a square where each row, column and main diagonal all sum to the same total.

My goodness, what a struggle. Until I reread the rules… magic square! Beautiful how it rolled out from there on. Very nice puzzle

at first glance I thought I'd need geometry math (ring + box5) but in the end that wasn't needed.

@Jorava Take a 3x3 box and draw a plus sign and an X on it. This gives you four lines of 3 digits each that all pass through the center digit of the box. Each of these lines must sum to 15. If you label the digits in a box A-I such that the box looks like:
ABC
DEF
GHI
The sum of each of the following groups of digits is 15:
A+E+I
B+E+H
C+E+G
D+E+F
