Thaumaturgical Sector

The Thaumaturgical Sector (魔導区画) is the hidden core of Orchis Tower, consisting of the alchemical machines that make part of the Azure-Zero Project.
__TOC__
== ==
=== Background ===
The Thaumaturgical Sector's construction was masked within the overall construction of the Orchis Tower by the efforts of the Crois Family as part of their 1000 year project. It contains a mix of the most advanced orbal technology and alchemical science. The public was led to believe that the floors from 21 to 30 were empty and only present for structural purposes, with the elevator having restricted access.
The Sector was designed to draw and purify orbal energy from each of the main four Geofront sectors, which were similarly disguised as ventilation (A Sector), water processing(B Sector), incineration (C Sector) and car parking (D Sector) facilities for the city. Combined with the higher elemental energies from the Sun Fort, Moon Temple and Stargazer's Tower, the tower channeled this energy through the relays on the roof into KeA, situated in the Castle of Mirrors at Mishelam, forming the fourth point of the alchemical cross and ascending her to the Sept-Terrion of Zero.
After the Special Support Section deactivates the barrier surrounding the city and assaults the tower with the resistance, they take the elevator to the Thaumaturgical Sector, still channeling energies strong enough to drain the EP from their ENIGMAs. The SSS traverses the sector to make their way to the 30th floor terminal, where Jona Sacred and Chief Roberts helped them unlock the security doors to the higher floors. They also find the Eidolon Gear here, a prototype exoskeleton developed by the Epstein Foundation as a successor to the first Orbal Gear, before it was stolen by Mariabell Crois. Tio Plato is able to link with it and use it in their following battles.
At the roof of the tower, the SSS confronts Dieter Crois, who uses the energies of the tower to move to a Phase Space where he can pilot the Aion Type-α against them. The energies make the Aion nigh invincible, but F. Novartis disables the robot after the fight and forces Dieter to rematerialize, citing the contract Mariabell Crois signed in his behalf to recover the Aions for Ouroboros.

*Liberating Crossbell City: The SSS traverse the Thaumaturgical Sector after breaching Orchis Tower.
== ==
=== Background ===
After the fallout of the Great Twilight and the events at the Gral of Erebos, a party consisting of Estelle and Joshua Bright, Renne, Lloyd Bannings, Elie MacDowell and KeA infiltrate the tower to find out what had happened in the Empire. They had traced some data that had been sent to the terminal (unknowingly by Black Alberich's request). The Sector was largely deactivated and navigating it was not difficult, although they still had to contend with some golems on the way, and fight off Mariabell Crois, Alberich and Claire Rieveldt at the terminal. After Renne and KeA successfully crack the five-dimensional spirit code they find out what happened, too late to stop it and the party flees to to the elevator.
In their efforts to hold the third Rivalry, Rean Schwarzer's party infiltrate the Thaumaturgical sector once again to reach the rooftop and disable the barrier generator. The Sector is now fully active, with barriers and lift terminals that need to be disabled or bypassed and large numbers of golems are present. Also defending the Sector are McBurn and a curse-driven Victor S. Arseid. Alberich also deployed a Leviathan unit as additional insurance. 
Machias Regnitz notes that the tower is once again gathering mana from nearby areas and channeling it to power the Aions deployed by the Society. Randy Orlando additionally notes that the area is different from when he was here last during the independence.
