How to create pivot tables in Laravel?

Question

Database design

I am developing an application in Laravel, with a many-to-many relationship.
Do I understand correctly: I only need to create source tables (using php artisan migrate), and linking tables are set using methods on Eloquent entities and the framework will create them itself?

laravel.ru/articles/odd_bod/eloquent-tutorial read this manual, it describes in detail how to use Many-to-Many.
Based on the question, I understand that you rely on magic, and you think that Eloquent will create for you all the necessary tables for communication? Or I didn't understand the question?
