A quasiclassical approximation is constructed to describe the eigenvalues of the magnetic Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold in the case when the magnetic field is not given by an exact 2-form. For this, the multidimensional WKB method in the form of Maslov canonical operator is applied. In this case, the canonical operator takes values in sections of a nontrivial line bundle. The constructed approximation is demonstrated for the Dirac magnetic monopole on the two-dimensional sphere.
