Rotational modulation of the intensity and polarization spectra of magnetic stars offers a unique possibility to reconstruct the structure of surface magnetic fields and to investigate their relation to cool starspots. We have developed a new magnetic Doppler imaging code which aims at self-consistent temperature and magnetic mapping of cool active stars. Here we present magnetic Doppler imaging analysis of high-resolution circular polarization observations of the active star II Peg. We demonstrate that a self-consistent approach to magnetic inversion unveils stronger magnetic fields than found previously through disjoint analyses of polarization and intensity observations of active stars.
