Magecraft (魔術, Majutsu?) is the artificial reenactment of Mystery, which is ordinarily possible only by inhuman beings.

Magecraft is the ability to bring about what is possible through Science with supernatural means; although the process is considered a miracle, the result is not. The limits of Magecraft have changed with time, as science evolved and Magic from the past became possible through Science.

Holy Grails (聖杯ホーリーグレイル, SeihaiHōrīgureiru?) are wish-granters using the foundation of the Christian holy relic that received the blood of Christ. There have been many artifacts claimed to be the genuine article, at least 726 of which were investigated by the Holy Church, and many conflicts for such artifacts have happened around the world throughout history. Each Holy Grail is in effect a mass of pure Magical Energy, which reacts to the wishes of the one who holds it in order to grant them; however, on their own they are not capable of generating true miracles without outside intervention. Left alone, they enter a purely reactive state, although they can spontaneously summon Servants as a defense mechanism should they be placed in abnormal situations like those encountered in the Grand Orders. As a rule, they do not take a physical form but can manifest in a variety of shapes depending on the circumstances of their formation.

Master (マスター, Masutā?) is a designation given to an individual, usually a Magus, who has become one of the formal participants of the Holy Grail War by obtaining Command Spells and forming a contract with a Servant. Under ordinary circumstances, a Master is always a spellcaster, usually a Magus with a Magic Circuit, who is selected by the Holy Grail.

The Command Spells (令呪, Reiju?, also translated as "Command Seals") are three claims of absolute obedience, the crystallization of a great magic, that a Master has over a Servant in the Holy Grail War system. Unable to normally be controlled by humans, they are burdened by the "absolute condition for materialization", the authority of the Command Spell carved into them at the moment of summoning. They are holy marks signifying a Magi's status as a Master, a system that was created by Zouken Makiri after the failure of the First Holy Grail War.

Heroic Spirits (英霊, Eirei?, localized as "Legendary Souls") are Spirits of heroes who achieved great deeds in life, having become objects of worship after their deaths.

Servants (サーヴァント, Sāvanto?) are Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail for the purpose of competing under Masters in the Holy Grail War. Servants are Spirits made into special Familiars of the highest rank, referred to as Ghost Liners by the Mage's Association, that are bound to the Master. Typically Heroic Spirits under most systems, they can also sometimes be Divine Spirits, Phantoms, Wraiths, and living people depending on various circumstances. Pure Heroic Spirits, the "main body" in the Throne of Heroes, can only be summoned by the World, and summoning even one is considered to be a miraculous occurrence. Even the Holy Grail lacks the power to summon a true Heroic Spirit, so the process is facilitated by summoning them into one of seven vessels prepared beforehand. The Greater Grail makes a copy using information from the "main body" of the Heroic Spirit, an "emanation", that returns to them as information, in the form of a soul, upon the death of the Servant. Disconnected from the "main body", they are able to know of the actions of the Servant through records, as if reading a book. Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail are placed into one of various Classes (クラス, Kurasu?). The seven standard classes are the Three Knight (三騎士, Sankishi?) classes of Saber, Lancer, Archer, and the Four Cavalry (四騎, Shiki?) classes of Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker.[39] There are also non-standard Extra Classes (エクストラクラス, Ekusutora Kurasu?) that are "split off from the regular servant classes in order to take on certain roles", such as Ruler which oversees the Holy Grail War. Servant classes that are summoned as a result of unconventional circumstances. Ruler: Servants placed within this class govern the Holy Grail Wars and are summoned by the grail directly due to situations that could threaten the war, they are granted rights of an administrator and Command Spells. While typically saints are summoned into it while managing wars related to the Holy Grail, others can be summoned into the class if they are impartial. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance, Item Construction, God's Resolution and True Name Discernment. Avenger: Servants of this class can be summoned by tampering with The Holy Grail’s summoning ritual, Servants placed within this class are driven by revenge that did not fade even after their death’s. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance, Avenger, Oblivion Correction and Self-Replenishment (Mana). MoonCancer: Servants placed in this class are described as irregulars that threaten the world of the moon. The class skills of this class Magic Resistance vary between servants with the only skill shared among all of them being Territory Creation. Alter Ego: Servants placed within this class are beings split away from the Saint Graph of another and now act independently from their original selves. A phenomenon where one persona of that Heroic Spirit gains independence as a separate entity. The class skills of this class vary between servants. Pretender: Servants placed within this class are those who became heroic spirits while pretending to be someone else in life, they are masters of deception, and are able to deceive the World itself with their lies. Among other effects, this allows them to disguise themselves as another Class and even use that Class's Skills. Foreigner: Servants placed within this class are those who have survived being connected to the Outer Gods that exist outside the universe, and wield strange powers tied to their otherworldly patrons. Such Servants are rarely summoned, as they can inadvertently act as a path for the Outer Gods to enter the world for their own incomprehensible purposes. The class skill of this class is Existence Outside the Domain. Shielder: Servants placed within this class primarily utilize a shield and excel in defensive techniques. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance, Riding and Self-Field Defense. Faker: Servants placed within this class are represented by fakes, summoning counterfeits and body doubles. The class skills of this class are Independent Action and Camouflage. Watcher: Servants placed within this class have some function of observing their Master for a greater purpose. The class skills of this class are Magic Resistance and Territory Infringement. Saver: Servants placed within this class are "Messiah" type Servants. The class skills of this class are Charisma and Counter Hero.

Noble Phantasms (貴い幻想ノウブル・ファンタズム, Tattoi GensōNouburu Fantazumu?), or simply Precious/Treasured Tools (宝具, Hōgu?) in the Japanese version, are "crystallized Mysteries", powerful armaments made using human imagination as their core, and are the weapons and/or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. As humanity's illusions, they embody the ultimate Mysteries of a hero as symbols of their existence through historical fact and anecdotes.

The Holy Grail War (聖杯戦争, Seihai Sensō?) is a competition that decides the ownership of the Holy Grail through intense battle royale. While there have been many conflicts over supposed Holy Grails in the past, this term refers to those specifically based around Masters, usually proficient Magi, summoning Servants, Heroic Spirits brought forth as Familiars, and meeting in battle until only one pair is left to claim the Holy Grail.

Chaldea (人理継続保障機関フィニス・カルデア, Jinri Keizoku Hoshō Kikan Finisu Karudea?), also called the Chaldea Security Organization (人理保障機関カルデア, Jinri Hoshō Kikan Karudea?) or simply Chaldea (カルデア, Karudea?), is a secret agency founded with the purpose of preventing the "certain extinction" of the human race. It specializes in handling temporal anomalies and other existential threats to humanity. Chaldea is a laboratory-observatory that recruits talented scientists and magi for the purpose of observing both the magical and scientific aspects of the world. They have a single goal: "to preserve the reign of the Human Order, above all else." Chaldea may be a research and observation organization, but the internal management is more befitting of a military organization.

Singularities (特異点, Tokuiten?) are spaces that are not part of the regular temporal axis.[1] Singularities make up much of the main focus of the Grand Orders in Fate/Grand Order.
