Terminology

This is a glossary page dedicated to all terminology which appears in Augma II Arc I.

*For all information regarding organizations, groups, or a character's affiliations, see Characters instead. This includes the Comfy Club, Auganos, Weeping Angels, Aeroseven Bosatsu Kaikyou Totsugeki (BKT), Black Lotus Society, and Black Rabbit Psycholocalypse.*

### Circuitry

"Circuitry" is the term used to refer to the magical power systems that characters in *Augma* use. They take after certain religions and ideologies but not much else is known about *what* exactly a circuitry is.

#### Etherius Equation

The Etherius Equation was created by the Goddess of Seraphs and takes after Christianity and mythology. It works by granting "Power through faith and goodwill through the perspective of the user," and so all tiers are oriented towards satisfying the user's desire to do good, even if their definition of good is seen as immoral to others. Its users are accompanied by a 4-dimensional being called Auganos (not to be confused with the tier of the same name) that grant them said powers. Its tiers are:

1. Augano: a passive/normal ability meant to fulfill the user's desire
2. Aethium: an idea/object conjured from the user's personal dimension
3. Apocalypse: a conjuration of the user's craving that could affect reality or the user themself
4. Aeon: a conjuration of the user's penultimate craving that could damage the universe

This reference is unconfirmed, but the Etherius shares many similarities with *Dies irae*'s Die Ewigkeit power system: namely, tiers 3 and 4 of both systems allow the users to influence reality and the universe respectively.

#### The Amaranthus Codex

The Amaranthus Codex is described as "a circuitry that only one user in existence can bear at a time." Everything else about it is unknown.

#### The Nehanzouzazen (Nehanzou)

The Nehanzou takes after Buddhism and Shintoism. It works by granting "its users with insane amounts of power so they can eventually find their own nirvana," but nirvana is defined as "the pinnacle of [the user's] existence" and instead encourages its users to fight for their desires which would "ultimately [culminate in] their rebirth as a human being." While Buddhism is the exact opposite (goal is the elimination of all desires, people who reach nirvana are not reborn), it is assumed its tiers would follow Buddhism's four stages of awakening:

1. Sotapanna (not mentioned whatsoever)
2. Sakadagami (confirmed)
3. Anagami (mentioned but untiered): a divine vessel that symbolizes the user's cravings and self-perception, previously the size of universes but restricted by Seiva's order
4. Arhat (mentioned but untiered)

It is unknown whether the Dragon Gods inhabiting two known users of the Nehanzou, Sforzando and Shinku, have anything to do with Shinto beliefs of kami and possession but it is likely unrelated to the Nehanzou. In that case, the Nehanzou takes after very little of Shintoism.

#### Ateragnusordo (Ragnus)

The Ragnus takes after Satanism and is a corrupted version of the Etherius. Ragnus users are disfigured, spiritually and physically, by inheriting said circuitry. Its tiers are unknown. Its only known user is Ashegone.

### Seraphim Abraxas System

*Main article: Seraphim Abraxas System*

The Serapahim Abraxas System, or S.A.S., is a full-dive virtual reality headset. It is known for being too advanced for its time period and having an anonymous creator.

### Trailokya

The three universes of *Augma*, which references the Buddhist concept of the same name.

* Kamaloka, also known as Shangri-La
* Rupaloka, also known as Kirron
* Arupaloka, also known as the S.A.S.

### Zero Case

*Main article: Zero Case*

"Zero Case" is the term used by the police force of Kirron to categorize any criminal case with inconclusive evidence. Zero Cases are ranked on a tier list. Examples of Zero Cases include the Visage Lock case and the New Zero Case.
