Magician

**Magicians**, also known as the **Students of Aurelianus**, are humans capable of using magic through the usage of equations.

## Summary

Unlike Witches, Warlocks, Sorcerers, and Wizards, Magicians are entirely humans, with no supernatural origins or magicules - magical molecules which serve as pseudo-magic conductions for supernatural species - within their bodies. Because of that, ancient Magicians had to rely on the assistance of magic artifacts or the blessing of divine entities in order to use magic. This led to the Magicians of ancient days being loyal servants, often mercenaries, of the gods in exchange for keeping their magical abilities.

However, everything changed during the late 5th-century with the appearance of the famous Cambion Merlin Ambrosius from Arthurian Mythology. He, with the assistance of the Angel Raziel, was able to create the Grand Aurelianus System - a miraculous Magic System that allows humans to wield magic through the usage of equations and calculations. From then on, all humans are capable of becoming Magicians through enough training.

Magicians are governed over by the High Magician Council, whose responsibility is to control the Magician's behaviors, conceal the existence of Magicians and the moonlit world from the mundane, and to protect all Magicians from the danger possesses by numerous supernatural Factions who threatened them. One of their numerous duties is to release official ranking for young Devils in order for Magicians to decide which Devils could be a possible and suitable candidate to make a pact with.

The High Magician Council's leader is the Grand Magician - a Magician of immense powers, skills, and experience. The current Grand Magician is Brooke Greymore. The Demon Mephisto Pheles is also said to be the Head Director of the High Magician Council.

It is also revealed that the Magicians in Khaos Brigade are Magicians that were expelled by their respective Magician organizations for various reasons and are known as **Stray Magicians**.

## Powers and Abilities

Magicians are the humans who could learn and wield the Magic Systems of nearly all factions and Mythologies, which grant them a much wider and more advantageous range of abilities in comparisons to other kind of Demihumans magic-wielders - Witches, Warlocks, Sorcerers and Wizards. According to Hecate - Goddess of Magic from Greek Mythology, the only virtual limitation of a Magician's magic is their own knowledge and level of magic mastery.

According to the Greek Goddess, the magic of Magicians is just knowledge to control equations, i.e. using your head and making calculations. So while they may seem similar to "genuine" magic-wielding Demihuman species, such as Witches and Warlocks. She also stated that their form of magic is something where the user uses the knowledge and calculations to know "If I do this, this will happen".

The Grand Aurelianus System widely used by the Magicians could be categorized into two major types: Western Magic and Eastern Magic; the former being a System of spells and magical knowledge found in Europe while the latter is a System of magic that originated in Asia. One of the most remarkable features of the Grand Aurelianus System is its powers to replicate the magical capablities of supernatural species, the miracles of the Gods, and the Magic Systems of other Mythologies.

### Pack

Very often, a Magician would make a pact with a supernatural being, with Faeries, Devils, and Gods being the most common ones.

These pacts are often created due to the three main reasons below.

1. **Protection:** The first is to use them as a bodyguard. When the time comes, having a powerful supernatural entity behind their back will allow a Magician to talk or reach a compromise with their opponents if they are caught up in a quarrel.
2. **Information:** Secondly, Magicians make pacts because they want to attain the techniques and knowledge of the culture their supernatural partner belonged to. To make it clearer, the technique standards of their respective Magic Systems, which are often being more-or-less a "open-secret" to not allow outsiders to know understand. These things will play a large role when Magicians do their research. Also, by making a pact, they will be allowed to get items/resources cheaper and/or easier access to them.
3. **Public Eminence:** Lastly, they make a pact with supernatural entity for their own status. Making a pact with a powerful being, such as High-class Devils or Gods, will bring great fortune and success to them.
