| abstract | - The magic system (術式 jutsushiki, lit. "arts expression/style") refers to the methodology of a practitioner's abilities and Devices. Two main systems are recognized in the series: the Midchilda system, and the Belka system. The Belkan system is further subdivided into Ancient Belka and Modern Belka, with the latter being an emulation of the Ancient Belkan one by using the modern Midchildan one as basis. Practitioners of Midchilda and Belka systems can be told apart by the form of their respective magic circles. Chrono Harlaown, in a conversation with Yuuno Scrya, states that 891 "classes" of magic have been documented by the Administrative Bureau. Whether this refers to separate magic systems like Midchilda and (Ancient) Belka, or some other way of classifying types of magic, is not specifically explained. In the wordings of the Administrative Bureau (i.e. Midchildan language), the (national) adjectives for Midchilda and Belka remain the same, e.g. Midchilda Wizard Rank. They will be remained unchange in the magic system classification, but for inline grammatical purpose, "Midchildan" and "Belkan" will also be used in this wikia.
