CHAR 5

The Number Family System is the system where when a family is recognized to have substantial magical abilities, it gains a number in its name. This system replaced the 'Elements' families that came before. The respective families or members of members thereof are called Numbers (数字付き).

Ten Master ClansEdit

They are the Magicians created and modified by the 10 Magic Institutes. Their positions can change dependent on what occurs at the Ten Master Clans Conference. They stand at the pinnacle of Japans' Magicians.

18 Assistant HousesEdit

They are the Families, which were also the products of the 10 Magic Institutes, but only the 10 most powerful are called the Ten Masters Clans, the remainder becoming the 18 Assistant Houses.

Hundred FamiliesEdit

The Families which are not from the 10 Magic Institutes, but are recognized as powerful Magicians' lineages.

ExtraEdit

Families which were formerly part of the Number Family System. Magicians or their descendants that have been stripped of their family ‘number’. The reasons for stripping off their number could be from causes such as:

The crime of treason.

The crime of failure to perform an important duty, and "incompetence".

The Hundred Families are magic families which, like the Ten Master Clans, possessed numbers on their names. Talented Magicians from prestigious families were the true representation of this title. [1]

Just as the hundreds digit followed the tens digit, the same meaning applied in that they were "families that were second only to the Ten Master Clans". Thus, all families bear a number larger than 11 in their name, signifying this. [1]

While the strongest of the strong became the Ten Master Clans with the other 18 Assistant Houses as replacements, they were followed closely by the authentic "Hundred Families". [1]

FamiliesEdit

Magicians that belong to the Hundred Families are usually known for their own magic specialties and enjoy comfort provided by the government, hence like the Ten Master Clans, they have a strong sense of responsibility towards helping the nation (military aspect). It is emphasized that the students who bear numbers on their names have a sense of responsibility to uphold. [2]

The Hundred Families Houses are:

The Morisaki Family is well known for its 'Quickdraw'.

Morisaki can use 'Drawless', a high level technique for pistol-shaped CADs. Prior to initiating the Activation Sequence, the user uses his/her own senses instead of the aiming assistance device built into the CAD to aim the prepared magic, then casts the magic without actually drawing the CAD.

Due to his two years of experience as a bodyguard, Morisaki is used to actual combat.

Speed Loader allows for the use of up to nine kinds of magic at once.
