Éstos son términos de jerga que se usan para demostrar la disparidad entre estudiantes de Curso 1 y Curso 2 en la Primera Preparatoria de Magia.

Un emblema de ocho pétalos está bordado en el pecho izquierdo de los uniformes de estudiantes de Curso 1. Sin embargo, este emblema está ausente en los uniformes de estudiantes de Curso 2.

CAD

CAD (Dispositivo de Asistencia para Conjuración por sus siglas en inglés) es una herramienta que simplifica la invocación de magia. Dentro de él, los programas de magia son guardados. Hay muchos tipos y formas de CADs, como los de tipo especializado (usan hasta 10 secuencias mágicas a la vez), de tipo generalizado (usan hasta 99 secuencias de magia a la vez), etc.

Companía Four Leaves Technology (FLT)

Uno de las companías que fabrican CADs en este país [Japón]. A parte de sus productos finalizados, era originalmente famosa por sus partes de ingeniería de magia. No obstante, debido al desarrollo del modelo Silver, su popularidad como creador de CADs se fue a los cielos.

Taurus Silver

Exaltado como un genio de ingeniería de magia, avanzó por 10 años el desarrollo del software para un modelo de CAD especializado en solo un año. De allí se deriva el nombre de esta serie de CADs: la Serie Silver [Silver Series]. Su obra maestra fue el Sistema de Conjuración en Ciclo [Loop Cast System].

Eidos (Forma de Información Discreta)

Originalmente era un término griego de filosofía. En cuanto al estudio de magia moderna, Eidos se refiere a una forma de información que está incorporada a un fenómeno (posición, temperatura, etc). Con las huellas de estos "fenómenos" existiendo en el "mundo", se puede decir que los "fenómenos" dejaron su impresión en el mundo.

En el estudio de la magia moderna, la definición de "magia" es hacer una técnica que cambia el Eidos, lo que implica que se cambia misma esencia [entidad] de un "fenómeno".

Idea (Dimensión de Forma de Información)

Originalmente era un término griego de filosofía Originally a Greek philosophy term. In regard to modern magic study, Idea refers to the platform on which Eidos are being recorded.　The primary form of magic is the technique where one outputs the magic ritual on this so-called platform, Idea, and rewrite the Eidos recorded there.

Activation Ritual

A blueprint of magic, a program for constructing magic.

The activation ritual data is compressed and stored in the CAD, the Psion waves, flowing from the magician, is converted to a signal in accordance to the expanded data and returned to the magician.

Psion (Thought Particle)

A substanceless particle that comes under the dimension of psychic phenomenon, an information element that records the result of cognizance and thought.

Eidos that is the theoretical basis of modern magic and activation rituals and magic rituals that are techniques that support the foundation of modern magic are forms of information constructed with Psion.

Pushion (Spirit Particle)

A substanceless particle that comes under the dimension of psychic phenomenon, its existence has been validated, however its true form or function has yet to be clarified.

Typically, magicians are limited to being able to "feel" activated Pushion.

Spirit-Based magic (SB magic) is the name of the magic which uses pushions to change the Eidos of a phenomenon.

Classification of Magic

Magic is classified by its type and/or effects. The first category is the 4 systems/8 types magic: "Speed, Weight (加速・加重) change", "Movement, vibration (移動・振動)", "Converge, dissipate (収束・発散)", and "Absorb, release (吸収・放出)."

Magic that does not belong to the previous category is divided into three categories: (1) Sensory systematic type magic (知覚系魔法) known as "ESP" (Extra Sensory Perception), (2) non-systematic type magic (無系統魔法) does not aim to alter phenomena by temporarily rewriting the body of information associated with phenomena, "Eidos", but aims to control the Psion itself, and (3) external systematic type magic (系統外魔法) isn’t something that manipulates physical objects, but the spirits themselves. Some examples of magic in these characters include magic that manipulate spiritual beings, mind reading, spirit separations, and even mind control. This kind of magic is called as such because it doesn’t belong to any type of system.

BS (Born-Specialized) Magician

BS Magicians, also known as BS ability users, could also be called innate ability users or innate magic specialists. This was because they excelled at a particular ability, but because of this extreme specialization, they were unable to use magic techniques like other Magicians of the same level.

Flash Cast

Flash Cast is the ability to use magic without the need of an activation sequence or a CAD. Thus, effectively reducing to zero the time needed for the magic ritual to be completed.

Elemental Sight

Elemental sight is a BS magician's ability to see the Eidos of phenomena in the information dimention (idea) and the qualities/features that make up its essence/existence [like a true name].

Silver Horn Custom "Trident"

Silver Horn Custom "Trident" is called this way because it uses three processes into one activation sequence. The first process decomposes the target's protective Wide Area Interference magic. The second process decomposes the target's Data Fortification magic used to protect the body. The third process decomposes the flesh down to an atomic level. Therefore, "Trident" refers to the merciless triple use Decomposition magic as well as the specialized CAD that optimized the procedure.
