Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Sorcery Hacking: Sorcery hackers are people that specialize in infiltrating other people's magic, hijacking it, and stealing it away by interfering with the manaflow inside them. This is done by using two tools, a Linkage Plug to hack sorcery devices and a Linkage Monitor to visualize the data and control hacked devices. Since Linkage Plugs are designed for portability, their individual processing power is not all that high. They are generally considered Level 1, so they can only hack simple Level 1 devices. However, Linkage Plugs can leave an antenna on any sorcery device they hack to resonate with its processing space and increase their Level. For example, a hacker can use their Level 1 Linkage Plug to hack a Level 1 streetlight and reach Level 2. Then they can use the now Level 2 Linkage Plug to hack a Level 2 air-conditioning unit and reach Level 4, and so on. Therefore, while the initial threat level of a sorcery hacker is not high, if left unchecked they can achieve the power to hack military devices or a city's infrastructure. Of course, control of a hacked sorcery tool or device can be reclaimed by removing the Linkage Plug antenna left behind by the Sorcery Hacker. Additionally, a sorcery hacker has to fool more than just the gemboard of the sorcery device. All magic has to be activated by someone, so all sorcery devices are linked to a person who activated them and controls them subconsciously. The linking sensation is no longer even verbalized, but odd sensations can sometimes rise to the surface like waves and a hacker needs to take care that someone does not notice their presence based on having "a bad feeling". Linkage Plugs usually take the form of a weapon/tool that can be used for piercing, such as a sword, a bow, darts, etc.
*Linkage Plug: A device that allows a sorcery hacker to hack sorcery devices. Ayato's Level 1 Linkage Plug is a 0.6m short sword with a trigger on its hilt. After piercing a sorcery device Ayato can pull the trigger to detach the sword's blade and leave it behind as an antenna, as described above. The detached blade is replaced by one of the blades compressed on the sword's hilt.
*Linkage Monitor: A portable wireless device that allows the sorcery hacker to manipulate the devices they have hacked, including retrieving and introducing data on them. They usually take the form of a fortune-telling device. Ayato's Linkage Monitor is a set of 78 ultra-thin tarot cards that can float around him, draw out various arcana images, and visualize the manaflow. Information is displayed by the card's movements and arcana images. Ayato can give commands by merely flicking the appropriate card.
*Data Interception: Ayato's Linkage Plug and Linkage Monitor can pick up the spray of the controlled mist manaflows that are used to transmit information wirelessly in cities. In order to do this, he needs to predict where a manaflow is based on the location of the relay devices and stab his Linkage Plug to put the blade on its path. While the connection is too weak for proper sorcery hacking, it allows Ayato to do things like eavesdrop to the communications of security forces.
Self-Maintenance: A meditation technique in which the practitioner lowers their consciousness level to determine their body's "baseline values", raising their awareness of their own body to move it at maximum efficiency. While technically Ayato is not asleep and still forms memories while performing Self-Maintenance, these memories leave a very shallow impression, like what he had had for dinner several days prior.
