Department of Modern Magecraft Theory

The is the twelfth (XII) Department of the Clock Tower branch of the Mage's Association. 
==History==
The Department's name, Norwich, comes from the name of the Norwich family who funded its development. The was a severe blow to the World of Magecraft, however escalation in the complexity of knowledge and technology did likewise confer certain benefits.​ The genre of Modern Magecraft Theory could no longer be disregarded, and was appended to fill the slot of the lost twelfth faculty.​ The rising interest in the occult in Europe due to the influence of Count Cagliostro was also a factor in the Department's founding.Fate/Grand Order - Sherlock Holmes Interlude: Thinking of the Lost Time Established at the start of the 20th century, it was the most recent Department developed.Clock Tower 2015 - 04 - The Record of Lainur GusionBecause of the decline of magecraft, aristocratic magi are forced to start incorporating New Age magi who they used to dismiss into their organizations, a compromise which led to the creation of the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory, where New Age magi can place their hopes.Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 9: case.

Formerly without a Lord family backing it, Doctor Heartless was the Dean of the Department. After the El-Melloi faction lost the Department of Mineralogy and Waver Velvet became recognized as Lord El-Melloi II, the family was granted control of the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory during a Grand Roll,Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 8: case.

Before the Department's revitalization, the El-Melloi Classroom was the only classroom teaching Modern Magecraft, so the El-Melloi Classroom became synonymous with the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory. The Department eventually grew considerably in terms of staff and students due to the Classroom's influence, with three to five professors (fluctuating over time) teaching Modern Magecraft.
Before the arrival of Doctor Heartless and the rise of the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory, New Age magi had no means of making a name for themselves except by finding success in the excavations of the Spiritual Tomb of Albion.
==Characteristics==
The scope of Modern Magecraft Theory aims at summarizing the magecraft of the past centuries as a broader, shallower, more general magecraft that is "easier to use" and adapted to modern society, primarily revolving around the occult and related studies.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 2: case.

While having a large impact on the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory, the El-Melloi Classroom is a small part of the full scope of the Department.
The Department's college town is located on Slur Street, with archaic buildings on its western side, and modern looking buildings on its eastern side which is closer to London, all cheap-looking buildings.Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 1: case. Adra Castle Separation - Chapter 2 Part 1 
Ten years prior to the events of Lord El-Melloi II Case Files, the area had been nothing but a neighbourhood coincidentally close to the Clock Tower, but as students from the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory continued to flock to the area, the Mage's Association caved in to their need for a space of their own and bought up the whole area, but forwarded all the cost of the endeavour to the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory itself.Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 1: case.

The Department is also comprised of the Norwich Student Dormitory, headed by dorm supervisor Krishna, where Gray resides, and where the first meeting between Luviagelita Edelfelt and Rin Tohsaka took place (the receptionist Octavia Leyland recounts the fight that resulted as the worst incident in the story of the building).Fate/hollow ataraxia - Night - Emiya's - In London
