   Keys: Holy Grail War, Holy Grail

   Holy Grail War: The Holy Grail War 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/Summoners, 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.

   Holy Grail: Holy Grails 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. The name is utilized in the various Holy Grail Wars as the name of an artifact purportedly capable of granting any wish to whomever comes to claim it, rather than the real artifact, though the Church often gets involved simply because of that reason. Its advent is the ultimate goal of the various Holy Grail Wars.

   On average a Holy Grail War lasts for two weeks until it's resolved.

   Keys: The Holy Church, The Church

   Overview: also referred simply as "The Church", is the hidden side of the Roman Catholic Church that specializes in the hunting of heresy. Compared to the public side of the Holy Church that treats heresies as if they do not exist because those who teach the word of God must not acknowledge that which runs counter to their doctrines, the Holy Church contains the zealots who feel the heresies should be more proactively destroyed. They are a major force that has a tenuous relationship with the Mage's Association.

   Keys: The Mage's Association

   The Mage's Association is an international, self-preservative and self-defense organization formed by practitioners of Magecraft for the purpose of controlling, concealing, and developing Magecraft. It is said to transcend nationality and genre of Magecraft, but that is in name only. After having existed for many years, it was decided around the Middle Ages by those who foresaw the decline of Magecraft that in order to preserve their power, Thaumaturgy should drift apart from society and become a secret known only by a necessary minimum number of people. It has many laboratories and research bodies that seek to advance the progress of Thaumaturgy, as well as institutions that transmit their secrets to the next generation. Although the emphasis lies on the pursuit of knowledge, the Association also seeks to increase its own military strength and reserves the use of force to protect itself from entities that threaten its existence, such as the Holy Church, other mage organizations, supernatural forces seeking to punish mankind for meddling with areas that should not be touched, and individuals who hunt that which they consider taboo.

   Keys: Heroic Spirits, Summoner, Servant, Master

   Servants: Servants are Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail for the purpose of competing under Masters in the Holy Grail War. Some Servants are obedient, while others aren't. 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. Differing from the normal definition of Familiars that can be likened to minor mascots unable to be stronger than their masters, Heroic Spirits are the most powerful of beings with which even the five Magicians would never be able to forge a contract with. Rather than it being a hard process to summon them or the fact that they far surpass Magi, it is their intrinsic nature in that they are beings beyond Magecraft.

   Master: Master 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. It is possible for an ordinary person to become a Master, though this is rare.

   Keys: Command Spells, Command Spell, Seals

   The Command Spells or 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.

   Obtaining Command Spells: The Fuyuki Holy Grail for example, grants a total of twenty-one Command Spells in each war. Masters obtain three Command Spells, and Servants have no choice but to cooperate with their Masters due to their hold over them. Depending on the nature of the Servant, such binding is not necessary, while others may slay their Master instantly should all three be lost. They disappear as they are used up, and it can be said that a Master who uses up all three loses authority over their Servant. Even if a Master contracts with multiple Servants at once, they will only be given a total of three Command Spells that can be used on any contracted Servant.It is possible to steal more from other Masters or receive more from the overseer depending on circumstances, and it is also possible that anyone interfering with the activities of the Church will have their Command Spells decreased. Their loss does not indicate forfeiture of position in the Holy Grail War, as the contract with the Servant is also part of being a Master. Command Spells do not disappear simply with the loss of a Servant, but instead only when one gives up or loses their right to be a Master. With regular Masters, this happens instantly upon losing their Servant, and only members of the Three Founding Families have shown the ability to exercise the authority of a Master even without a Servant. They will not lose their Command Spells so long as there exist Servants without established contracts. Lost Command Spells are reclaimed by the Holy Grail during the Holy Grail War and can be redistributed to new contractors who take on a Servant who has lost their Master. While searching for new Masters, it will prioritize those who had been previously chosen. The Church provides protection to Masters without Servants for the reason of them having greater chance of obtaining leftover Command Spells. Masters aim to kill other Masters rather than simply cut off their combat effectiveness so that they will not be able to take up another contract in the future. Of the Command Spells that are left after the Holy Grail War, they are amassed in the hands of the supervisor and commissioned for safekeeping. It is possible to keep a contract after the Holy Grail War has ended, as the only issue is the added strain on the Magus after the support from the Holy Grail in the upkeep of the Servant stops.

   Characteristics: Command Spells appear on those selected by the Holy Grail, some of which have been shown to manifest three years before the event. It is normal that the Holy Grail decides on those it deems worthy and have a reason to seek it. The spell manifests in Form of a seal on the body part of the master. The seals typically appear somewhere on the arm, looking like tattoos at first sight. Upon receiving or losing Command Spells, there is often a slight pain. If the Master or Servant are in critical danger, it may throb to warn them.

   Heroic Spirit Summon: this is a ritual by the Planet to summon "humanity's strongest seven Heroic Spirits," Grand Servants, to fight against "a single powerful enemy," such as the Beasts.

   Keys: Lancer, Archer, Classes, Assassin, Three Knight Classes, Rider, Berserker, Caster, Class, Four Cavalry classes, Saber

   Overview: The Class Name of a Servant is the name by which they are referred in a Holy Grail War. Corresponding to their Class, the Master will typically refer to them only by that name to avoid exposing their True Name. Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail are placed into one of various Classes. The seven standard classes are the Three Knight classes of Saber, Lancer, Archer, and the Four Cavalry classes of Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker.

   There are also non-standard Extra Classes 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.

   Servants are normally only of the singular class under which they are summoned, but certain circumstances allow for multiple classes at once or class changes.

   Keys: True Name, True names

   The True Name of a Servant is something vital to battle, as it can reveal much about them. They most often have their Masters refer to them solely by their class name unless they do not care like Jack the Ripper, wish to have a closer connection to their Master. Many Servants prefer not to reveal their true identity, but some get found out very fast. Famous heroes like King Arthur and Siegfried are very likely to have their identities found out more easily than others, with simply glancing upon Excalibur being enough for any Heroic Spirit to identify King Arthur.

   Keys: Heroic Spirit

   Overview: Heroic Spirits are Spirits of heroes who achieved great deeds in life, having become objects of worship after their deaths.

   Nature: Heroic Spirits are beings of a higher existence, becoming categorically closer to Elementals than Wraiths. Differing from how Elementals are "power" granted form using human imagination as a container, they are entirely woven from the ideals of people all throughout. They are freed from the constraints of time itself and removed from the ring of reincarnation, moved to the Throne of Heroes, a place existing outside of both the World and the time axis. The Throne of Heroes is also occasionally referred to as the Ring of Deterrence, referring to how it is mainly used by the Counter Force. Those that become closer to the Planet do not mix well with people, so they fall into the categories of Divine Spirits and Elementals.

    Keys: Wraiths, Elemental, Elementals

    An Elemental is a general category for a variety of Spiritual Bodies. It is a class of Mystery whose foundations can't be replicated by Magecraft, and a rare number of Phantasmal Species were capable of advancing to becoming Elementals.

    There are a few types of Elementals: Nature Spirits, Animal Spirits, and the artificially created Guardian Spirits. Lower class Spirits such as Wraiths and Apparitions are not included in this category. Most of these Spirits do not take the shape of a human.

    Keys: Gate of Babylon, Precious/Treasured Tools, Noble Phantasm

    Noble Phantasms, or simply Precious/Treasured Tools, 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. They can be physical weaponry (e.g. swords, spears, bows) or support items (e.g. shields, rings, crowns). They can also be abstractions such as unique, often magical abilities (even close to or matching True Magic), unique (even conceptual) means of attack, curses, and changes to the very environment and its physical properties. When summoned as Servants in the Holy Grail War, they are the trump cards of the heroes that allow them to overcome others in battle.

    Origins: The Noble Phantasms of all Heroic Spirits are said to have originated from the Gate of Babylon, the treasury of Gilgamesh. They were the greatest treasures of the world collected throughout his lifetime, nameless, splendid weapons that acted as the Noble Phantasms' Prototypes before becoming the objects of faith that act as the foundations for their legends. They spread throughout the world after his death, eventually becoming Noble Phantasms.

    Keys: Bab-ilu, Ea, Sword of Rupture, Gilgamesh, The King's Treasure, all the world's treasures, Golden Capital, Divine Gate, Gate of Babylon, King's Treasury, Key of the King's Law

    Gate of Babylon: The King's Treasure: is the "Golden Capital" and the "King's Treasury" of Gilgamesh, and moreover the golden key connected to it. His main Noble Phantasm, it is the storehouse that Gilgamesh built to store all the world's treasures he claimed in life, referred to as the "Divine Gate". It connects the space of reality to the vault, opening an "invisible door" between dimensions that allows for the contents to pass through upon their owner's command. Allowing for easy access to the items of the treasury, he is able to pick and utilize them as he pleases. The rank of the Noble Phantasm changes from "E~A++" due to it reflecting the ranks of the contents of the treasury. It is a Noble Phantasm that becomes more powerful with the user's wealth, but would accordingly not be useful without a wealth of valuables. It is also once referred to as an EX-ranked Noble Phantasm by Tokiomi Tohsaka due to containing Ea. The items passing through the gate form gold-glowing energy ripples in the empty air as they appear instantly. He can summon items directly into his hand, pull out weapons from directly behind him, or prepare numerous weapons midair, loaded like bullets. This Noble Phantasm is named as such because Babylon has become synonymous with the "Capital of Sin" and the "Golden Capital". There are probably imitations like the Road of Babylon as well.

    Key of the King's Law, Bab-ilu: is a golden key-shaped sword that connects to the treasury. Compared to the spare front key to the treasury, Bab-ilu is that which can unlock the deepest parts of the treasury to access Ea(Sword of Rupture). While similar in appearance to the spare key, Gilgamesh says, "do not speak of this in the same terms as the key" and describes it as "something like a contract I bound myself, given form." Possessing a divine aura, Tiné Chelc describes it as the "purest magical element she had ever seen in her life." Only he is able to utilize Bab-ilu, and lacking the wisdom to understand its constantly changing shape will render it unable to open the treasury. It is implied to be able to open other doors, but those without locks cannot be opened.

    Gilgamesh is shown to open the Gate of Babylon with Bab-ilu in hand while saying the True Name of the Noble Phantasm, and he utilizes it at times to retrieve Ea from the depths of the treasury. When utilizing it to obtain Ea, the key releases a large, labyrinth-like, red pattern, that can be seen covering the sky from a great distance away, and then it recedes into a small orb from which he pulls Ea.

    Keys: Headquarters, Chaldea, Novum Chaldea, Fire of Prometheus, Chaldea Security Organization, 2015, Chaldea Headquarters, CHALDEAS' magnetic field, 2016, Marisbury Animusphere, The Organization for the Preservation of Human Order

    Overview: The story chronicles the efforts of the Chaldea Security Organization to restore the Common Sense of Man by way of excising the Holy Grails sustaining the chronological Singularities that disrupt the continuity of human history and contribute to the Human Order Incineration Protocol.

    In 2015, the Chaldea Security Organization draws on experts of both the magical and mundane fields to observe the future of mankind for possible extinction events. Humanity's survival seems assured for the next century—until the verdict suddenly changes, and now eradication of the species awaits at the end of 2016. The cause is unknown, but appears to be linked with the Japanese town of Fuyuki and the events of 2004 during the Fifth Holy Grail War. In response, Chaldea harnesses an experimental means of time travel, the Rayshift technology. With it, Ritsuka Fujimaru (a young man or woman, depending on the player's choice of gender) who was newly recruited to the organization, and a mysterious girl named Mash Kyrielight, can travel back to 2004 and discover how to save humanity.

    The Organization for the Preservation of Human Order, Finis Chaldea, also called the Chaldea Security Organization or simply Chaldea, 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. The hidden purpose of the organization is the enaction of the Human Order Revision Incident by CHALDEAS in following Marisbury Animusphere's Grand Order.

    Following the destruction of Chaldea's Antarctic base, the few survivors name themselves Novum Chaldea. While unknowingly helping with Marisbury's plan by culling the seven Lostbelts, they no longer represent the old Chaldea and seek to stop Marisbury and restore Proper Human History with all its potential futures.

    History: Marisbury Animusphere was the founder of Chaldea. In the Clock Tower, Chaldea and the Animusphere family's theories had heretofore been regarded as abstract and impractical. To solve this, Marisbury participated in the Holy Grail War of Fuyuki in 2004. Marisbury became the victor and wished on the Holy Grail for prosperity. Thus Chaldea flourished, to the point where they were able to run CHALDEAS. SHEBA was able to observe not only the future, but also the light of the past. They were able to prove the Rayshift theory, the Pseudo-Spiritrons conversion projection. Chaldea became an international organization. Though Chaldea's funding is sourced from all over the globe, 70% of it comes from the Animusphere family. Because the organization being founded by the Animusphere family, 80% of the mages in Chaldea come from the Department of Astromancy, with the other 20% having been scouted from elsewhere. Unusually for an organization of magi, the Holy Church contributed some amount of funding to it alongside the Association. It has been established that the organization became a UN-sanctioned operation within several years of Marisbury's participation in the Fuyuki Grail War of 2004.

    Activities: 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. In the year 2000, they created countless Designer Babies for Demi-Servant experiments. They aimed to create a fusion between a Heroic Spirit and human. However, most of the designer babies conceived in Chaldea failed. The Demi-Servant project was Chaldea’s sixth experiment.

    Chaldea's headquarter: is located in Antarctica, right in its center so that no nation could claim it. Chaldea's architecture is built 6000 meters above sea level with basement workshops in the snowy mountains of alpine tundra. The mountain range is hidden by an endless blizzard and the lingering scent of Mystery, further reinforced by a Bounded Field. Chaldea is being protected by CHALDEAS' magnetic field and is powered by a reactor named Fire of Prometheus.

    Rooms in Chaldea:

    • Novum Chaldea's Hallways
    • Novum Chaldea's cafeteria
    • Rooms (where the people live, mostly consists of beds and similar)
    • Underground library
    • Novum Chaldea's control room

    Keys: The Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System, FATE

    The Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System "FATE" was completed in 2004 A.D. It allows for members of Chaldea who are considered "provisional Masters" to summon Heroic Spirits as Servants. A system patterned after the Heroic Spirit summoning ritual utilized in the Grail Wars of Fuyuki City, which enacts summoning per agreement of purpose between Master and Servant. Marisbury used this data as the basis for creating the summoning ritual.

    Utilizing FATE, three Servants were successfully summoned in the initial tests:

    Solomon - The first Heroic Spirit, summoned by Marisbury in 2004. Galahad - The second Heroic Spirit summoned in 2010 was Chaldea’s only successful Heroic Spirit fusion trial. Marisbury was performing the experiment on the ten-year old Mash Kyrielight. However Galahad decried Chaldea's brutal experiments, but remained in the world to keep his host alive. Then, after the bombing of Chaldea, he entrusted her with all he had. Leonardo da Vinci - The third Heroic Spirit summoned to Chaldea (2012). Marisbury and Romani Archaman were present. She lacked a Master, but after being convinced to join Chaldea she built a puppet copy of herself as a "Master". Following her death, this puppet would assume the role of her new body.

    Keys: Singularity, Rayshift, Singularities

    A Singularity is an unobservable region that does not exist within Chaldea's recorded history. It's as if a hole has opened up within the timeline, a hole that is separate from the regular temporal axis.

    Certain Singularities have their own individual circumstances and mechanisms, however the Goetia-style Singularities involved in the Human Order Incineration Incident follow a general pattern and possess common characteristics. They are sustained by a Goetia-manufactured Holy Grail, which is given to a certain individual within a key historical time period, typically someone who will use it to cause major disruption to history and destabilize the Human Order Foundations; with the Quantum Time-Locks destroyed, the Proper Human History falls and destabilize the Human Order Foundations; with the Quantum Time-Locks destroyed, the Proper Human History falls apart and the future is reduced to a mass of arbitrary possibilities. When this is insufficient, a Demon God host may further manipulate individuals and events in order to achieve this end or even intervene by using the Grail itself. Left unchecked, the era in which the Singularity manifests in will be destroyed completely under the strain of the impossible events that the Singularity forces into existence, causing the end of history itself. Goetia sought to use the energy generated by the Incineration of Humanity to travel back in time to the formation of the world, allowing him to change its fundamental laws in a way that would remove the concept of death from existence.

    The power of the Grails and the circumstances within the Singularities allow for the summoning of Servants and their continued existence in the world, even without a Master. Various Servants are summoned to the era under these conditions without individuals performing a summoning ceremony. The Servants often play a key role in bringing about the disruption to history, as well as resolving it. It is theorized that these Master-less servants are summoned by the Grail itself as a reaction to its abuse- in effect, it acts as a distorted Holy Grail War in which the Grail already has an owner.

    The seven primary Singularities involved in the Human Order Incineration Incident have a Human Order Foundation Value associated with them.

    The emergence of large Singularities cause disturbances and fluctuations in time which spread out through history like a wave, and can cause other, smaller Singularities to emerge at other points in time.

    The emergence of large Singularities cause disturbances and fluctuations in time which spread out through history like a wave, and can cause other, smaller Singularities to emerge at other points in time. Left unattended to, these Singularities can grow and become a threat in their own right. Sometimes these small Singularities disappear on their own, leaving behind Holy Grails formed from the condensed magical energy of the Singularity.

    When the Grail empowering a Singularity is recovered or eliminated and the threats it produced are neutralized, the timeline will begin to restore itself and the Singularity will eventually disperse. However, lingering temporal anomalies such as the presence of Phantasmal Species can compromise the recovery process and even run the risk of the Singularity reconstituting itself.

    Because of humanity's destruction in 2015, due to the collapse of the Human Order Foundation, Chaldea is forced to travel to Singularities in the past in order to fix the irregularities of history caused by various Holy Grails. The 'Grand Order' is a "name for those who would rise up against human history for the sake of humanity, and combat fate itself."

    Procedure: Utilizing Rayshift from Chaldea, the souls of selected subjects are projected into the past, forming Spiritron avatars with the capacity to interfere with corrupted versions of historical events. By the efforts of time-travelling agents, anomalous temporal singularities may be eliminated such that the timeline can restore itself to its normal state.

    The exact procedure of the Grand Order differs depending on the nature of the Singularity, however there are two general goals; the correction or elimination of the distortions resulting from or responsible for the Singularity, and the retrieval or destruction of the Grail supporting the Singularity.

    Keys: Goetia, Solomon, Demon, Demons

    Identity: The Demon God King, the aggregate form of Solomon's seventy-two Daemons. To begin with, the 72 demons were "a system to efficiently promote proper reason" invented by the founder of (human) Magecraft, Solomon. It was originally created as a magical ritual to look after mankind after Solomon's death, the Human Order Correction Ritual. Said system grieved and raged against the relationship between King Solomon and humans, becoming a curse that takes action to conquer “the imperfectness of humans” that King Solomon continued to ignore. It eventually changed into the Human Order Incineration Ritual. A magecraft with its own will that was devised in order to attain true wisdom, and is now attempting to reach the origin while making use of the entire human history.

    After King Solomon’s death, the 72 demons that were sealed away inside his corpse awakened to their own ideology, swindled Solomon’s name (although, from their point of view, they are the true King of Magecraft Solomon) and embarked on a new venture to convert the entire mankind into energy. And thus, Goetia resumed activity by making king Solomon’s corpse into his nest, but there was a great dilemma in his way of being.

    In its original Greek, the term "Goetia" refers to the act of sorcery itself; Goetia was the original Thaumaturgical Foundation used in Modern Magecraft. The genetic curse that he implanted in the seventy-two Thaumaturgical lineages that hosted his Demon Gods being the basis from which the first Thaumaturgical Crests developed. Said Magic Crests were from the outset a means by which he connected his existence with that of his agents.

    Goetia personality: Since he has King Solomon as a base, his personality is intellectual (albeit frightening). That being said, as he is the aggregate-body of the 72 demons, his personality/disposition amounts to 72. Because he is an individual and a colony, whenever talking to others, a "demon" resembling the other party comes to surface. This is the reason why Goetia’s disposition is evaluated as that of a "mirror". He possesses an almightiness that causes the entire logic of the universe to obey him, and a sense of intimidation that seems to say that he hates all of mankind. Originally, he would have more than enough qualifications as a king that rules over men. However, he could not understand humans due to being almighty, could not achieve an answer due to being immortal, and thus was unable to become “a human king”. He holds great animosity towards Solomon, describing him as the greatest fool of mankind and an incompetent king. Much of Beast I's hatred for him stems from both Solomon's supposed indifference to the suffering of mankind, and for creating him to watch over humanity, a function he considers pointless due to believing that humans can only suffer until their deaths. Despite knowing of their helplessness, their ugliness, Solomon accepted humans without correcting them. But the demons could not accept this.

    Goal: Goetia posed as the enterprise of the one who called himself King of Magecraft Solomon began. He built Holy Grails as Singularities that distorted history, embedded on human history magi that he designed (to transform into demons according to Goetia’s will) as offsprings and produced seven detonation points. That is the cause behind the collapse of the cornerstones of anthropic principle in each eras. When said scheme was concluded, mankind lost the future beyond 2016.

    Keys: Casseur de Logistille, Astolfo, Trap of Argalia, Hippogriff, La Black Luna

    Overview: One of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne. In the CharlemagneWP Legend, he is the son of an English king, and one of Charlemagne's twelve faithful Paladins. Among the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne, Astolfo is said to be the most handsome, eternally optimistic, and completely lacking in sense. As the legends go, Astolfo was quite the ladies' man. As a cousin of Roland, Astolfo is included among those twelve—that being said, Astolfo was famed as "weak" in legends.

    Astolfo has created many legends as he was an adventurer who flew to all over the world and even reached the Moon in the end. Through his journeys, he had won numerous Mystic Codes such as his flute, his grimoire, and his shining golden lance. Astolfo brought rise to various legends on the back of mounts like a griffin and the famous Rabicano, but particularly famous among them is something inconceivable for this world—the Hippogriff.

    Although many are the glorious tales of Astolfo, it is said that he has made just as many mistakes. He was continually defeated in riding tournaments, fell victim to many thaumaturgical traps and even lost—in a matter of hours—the reason that he had picked up at the moon. However, Astolfo never faltered; he did not seem to consider failure or defeat as blunders in the first place.

    Noble Phantasms: La Black Luna: A hunting horn that strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear its sound, prompting instinctive escape. Those within its range will be struck with the shock of an explosive sound. In the case where the damage is the same or higher than the target's HP, they will be turned to dust and scattered around. Does not affect Heroic Spirits with Magic Resistance, but normal mages are not immune to its influence.

    Casseur de Logistille: Inherited from a certain witch, it is a book with the means to shatter any and all magic recorded within it. It does not cancel a Reality Marble or a greater magecraft exceedingly close to Reality Marbles to such an extent, but evoking its true name and reading its content makes it a possibility...

    Trap of Argalia: Lance of the knight, Argilia. Has a golden tip. Killing ability is low although a wound is inflicted to the leg of the spiritual body.

    Hippogriff: A Phantasmal Beast that's essentially an "impossible" existence. Allthough its rank is inferior to a Griffon from the Age of Gods, its charging pulverization attack is equal to an A rank physical attack. For only a moment, it is able to place itself in an inter-dimensional rift. Therefore, it is able to phase through every single attack.

    Keys: Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne

    The Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne are the group of knights serving under Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, who were only selected from the most excellent of candidates.

    Characteristics: They are a group of knights similar to the Knights of the Round Table of King Arthur, and their exact numbers and members differ depending upon which documents are used to reference them. Those like Astolfo, Roland, and Oliver are confirmed among these uncertainties. All members are famed for their strength with the exception of Astolfo who is famed as "weak" according to the legends.

    It is said that as Merlin stepped down from the era of King Arthur, he then helped the twelve Paladins.

    Most of the Paladins died in the Battle of Roncevaux PassWP against Roland's stepfather GanelonWP and an enemy army of 400,000 men, against the Paladins' own 20,000. Although Charlemagne arrived with reinforcements, he wasn't able to reach the Paladins in time.

    Charlemagne's Noble Phantasm Joyeuse Ordre represents the bond of the Paladins by firing simultaneous beams from all of their weapons.

    Members:

    • Charlemagne (Karl der Große), their king.
    • Roland, their leader and wielder of the holy sword Durandal.
    • Rinaldo, elder brother of Bradamante and the bearer of the magical sword Froberge.
    • Astolfo, described as the most handsome among the twelve in legend.
    • Bradamante
    • Oliver, wielder of Hauteclaire is a greatly popular and renowned member of the Paladins
