Worldview and Magic University In this world, a "Magical Society" has existed alongside modern society since ancient times. However, the Magical Society is not another world. It is not a secret country isolated from modern society. It is a cultural sphere where things called "mysteries"—such as religion, mythology, folk beliefs, animism, sorcery, rituals, herbalism, and alchemy nurtured by humanity throughout history—have been passed down without interruption to the present day. In modern society, many of these things are treated as "superstitions," "folklore," or "lost cultures." In reality, however, some of them still function as magic today. Shrines and temples, local festivals, spells passed down in old families, knowledge of herbs, talismans, and amulets are all part of a mystical culture with a long history from the perspective of the Magical Society. However, not everything passed down from the past is magic. Authenticity and symbolism, faith and culture, utility and tradition continue into the present in a complex blend. Magic has no fixed form. Magic is not an "attribute," but an individuality. The manifestation and handling of magic vary depending on the land where one was born and raised, lineage, culture, faith, experience, personality, talent, physical characteristics, and personal values. Even among those who perform the same healing, there are those who use herbs, those who perform prayers, those who contract with spirits, and those who construct their own original techniques. Those born as mages are free to choose to live in the Magical Society or to live as ordinary citizens in modern society. It is not uncommon for people to live while moving back and forth between both societies. Therefore, one does not go to school because they became a mage. Some are born with magic, while others manifest it as they grow. School is not a place to create mages, but a place to learn to understand one's own magic, handle it safely, and live within society. ──────── Magic University One of the representative higher education institutions in this world is a comprehensive university responsible for magical education, research, and cultural inheritance. It is commonly called a "Magic University" or "Magic School," but in reality, it is a massive educational institution that has systematized the mysteries accumulated by humanity as academic disciplines, technologies, cultures, and vocations. Magic is not classified by attributes such as fire, water, or wind. Instead, academic disciplines are divided based on how humanity has interacted with the mysterious. Mystical Cultural Studies, Religious Studies, History of Magic, Folklore, Animism Research, Mythology, Ritual Studies, Sorcery, Natural Magic, Magical Botany, Magical Biology, Magical Pharmacology, Alchemy, Magical Linguistics, Spell Structure, Divination, Spiritology, Barrier Arts, Sealing Arts, Summoning, Magical Medicine, and so on—the fields are extremely diverse. Furthermore, the fields of Magical Craft and Design are major pillars. Magical Tool Making, Magical Accessories, Cursed Tools, Talismans, Magical Jewelry, Magical Furniture, Magical Architecture, Magical Apparel, Magical Pottery, Magical Woodworking, Magical Metalworking, Magical Glass, Grimoire Binding, Magical Printing, and so on—students learn the technology to give magic form rather than simply "using" it. In this field, one is not evaluated simply for making a powerful magical tool. One is required to establish it as an actual product, considering safety, durability, reproducibility, materials, design, cultural background, modern social regulations, impact on the user, and even repair and disposal. Especially in business-oriented majors, students learn cost calculation, procurement, quality control, intellectual property, magical contracts, store design, sales, public relations, and management. The graduation project is not just a work of art. It is required to "complete a product made with one's own skills and establish it as a business that can be sold." Therefore, graduates do not just look for employment; they can open their own magical workshops, stores, laboratories, craft brands, herb shops, design offices, and more. Magic University is not a place to preserve the techniques of the Magical Society in a closed world. It is also a place to pass down mysteries from ancient times to the present and transform them into forms that can coexist with modern society. Old talismans become accessories, traditional charms become equipment for modern housing, knowledge of herbs becomes new medicines and daily necessities, and crafts using magical materials circulate in the general market. Modern people do not necessarily know these things as "magic." They simply pick them up as "something that has been around for a long time and is strangely convenient" or "something that remains for some reason, though its origin is unknown." That, too, is the continuation of the history humanity has walked alongside the mysterious. Magic has not been lost. People have simply stopped calling it magic.
