A

Akashic Record
Cosmic Archive
The primordial archive containing the total memory, structure, and probability pathways of existence across all realities. A non-linear informational lattice where every event, thought, entity, and potential future exists as preserved resonance data. Access is widely considered impossible without catastrophic cosmological consequences. Tiala Hartlight's ultimate convergence objective.
Antiquity, Realms of
Realms
Countless realms of low Ontological density that exist in the background of the multiverse. These realms are liminal in nature, existing in specific scope. Some of these realms are stable and accessible, while others are unstable and prone to collapse or transformation.
Ascension Artifact
Transformation Catalyst
Rare and powerful items that facilitate transformation evolution for Lúmenai casters. Examples include Coralas, a crystalline harp that channels higher-tier Essentia, and Ambrasis, a golden lyre that amplifies emotional resonance to unlock advanced abilities. These artifacts grow more elaborate as the wielder's power increases.
Aspects of Infinity
Metaphysical Concept
Tangible instantiations of conceptual constants. Every abstraction possesses physical manifestation somewhere in existence—there is a physical Truth, a physical Chaos, a physical War. These manifestations flicker in and out of accessible reality and can be integrated with through three levels: Augeo (joining), Exsequi (yielding), and Vitio (sublimation). Nexsicon magical transformations uniquely channel these Aspects.
Augeo
Aspect Integration Level
The foundational state of Aspect integration. Establishes connection between individual and Aspect, granting access to minor manifestation abilities while personality remains largely intact. No intrinsic backlash for disengagement. The user remains themselves—but amplified.
Aura Manifestation
Elemental Core Advance Technique
An advanced element core technique where the user's aura becomes visible and tangible. The individual's essence becomes perceptible to others, manifesting as a physical glow or shimmer around their form. This level is often associated with increased magical sensitivity and the ability to perceive otherworldly phenomena.

B

Beeston
Realm
The realm governed by Lúmenai magic, where power manifests through emotional harmonic resonance sung rather than spoken. Home to the Lovely Hearts faction and characterized by musical magical girl aesthetics. Magic users channel Essentia through voice and emotional sincerity, with transformations reflecting internal harmonic states.
BLADE GUILLOTINE
Transformation Identity
The alternate identity of dissonant discord, revealed during the Falling Stars incident. Wields Le Couteau and speaks in haunting rhyming couplets. Responsible for opening the rift that strengthened Crystallines and ultimately collapsed the Royastellan System. Her vocal modulator concealed her identity until the devastating betrayal of Starlite 7th.

C

Cascade Resonance
Catastrophic Event
A reality-shattering event that fragmented dimensional boundaries and triggered widespread convergence phenomena. Resulted in the massacre of the Tiānshàng clan, identity fractures across multiple individuals, and accelerated realm merging. The event's full scope and cause remain subjects of intense investigation, though its effects continue to destabilize multiversal stability.
Convergence
Metaphysical Phenomenon
The process by which separate realities merge and overlap, triggered by Lodesoul relocation or massive resonance disturbances. Causes mythic realms to rematerialize, dimensional boundaries to weaken, and distinct magical systems to interact. Tiala's deliberate convergence strategy seeks to access the Akashic Record through controlled realm merger.
Crystallines
Enemy Classification
Hostile entities in Royastella that became dramatically stronger after BLADE GUILLOTINE opened a rift in the sky. Their sudden power escalation forced Starlite 7th to accept training from dissonant discord, unknowingly walking into her long-term manipulation.
Cymora
Magic System
A verbal-only magical language native to Nexsicon where words perform magic rather than describe it. Operates on sonic resonance principles with phonetics drawn from Welsh, Gaelic, and Arabic influences. Spells typically follow four-line incantational structures with emphasis on rhythm, cadence, and vowel elongation. The language makes no distinction between description and execution—speaking is casting.

D

Destiny's Penance
Faction
Nexsicon faction consisting of those who wield transformations aligned with Aspects of Infinity. Members channel conceptual forces like Death, War, Chaos, and Fate through progressive integration stages. Known for wielding some of the most powerful and philosophically complex magic in the multireality.
dissonant discord
Identity / Transformation
Rival and eventual enemy to Heart Melody, later revealed as an alternate identity of BLADE GUILLOTINE. Speaks in iambic pentamer. Wields Atonality and employs wide flowing slashing arcs that blur fencing technique with ritual casting. The name's lowercase styling reflects her nature as a corrupted harmonic opposite to the Lovely Hearts.

E

Element Core
Magic System
Royastella's identity-bound mana system where elemental cores crystallize within soul architecture. Users store elemental mana in a metaphysical Magic Core organ, with output governed by System authorization. Native cores (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth) provide stability, while non-native cores from invaders prove more volatile. The Core Immutability Doctrine was shattered when discord revealed cores could undergo Resonant Recomposition.
Essentia
Lúmenai Term
The harmonic elements channeled through Lúmenai magic. Tier 1 Essentia include Éthera (Neutral), Pýrua (Fire), Áquora (Water), Vaélia (Wind), and Téroma (Earth). Higher tiers and Vaelóri entwinements combine these base forms into more complex manifestations. Each Essentia responds to emotional sincerity and requires harmonic stability to manifest safely.
Exsequi
Aspect Integration Level
The intermediate state of Aspect integration featuring dramatically increased output and partial erosion of baseline humanity. The user must act in accordance with the Aspect during manifestation or suffer backlash upon release. An Exsequi does not merely wield power—they must feed it.

F

Falling Stars
Event
The catastrophic event where dissonant discord revealed herself as BLADE GUILLOTINE and systematically dismantled Starlite 7th before kidnapping Starlit Alpha through a dimensional rift. The battle concluded with the collapse of Royastella's System, ending magical girl transformation capability and leaving the realm defenseless.

H

Heart Melody
Faction
The primary Lovely Hearts faction from Beeston, also known as the Lovely Hearts. Members transform through emotional-harmonic synchronization and wield weapons aligned with musical terminology. The group functions as harmonic ensemble where individual voices strengthen collective resonance. Notable for their confrontation with discord that resulted in Heart Aria's death.
Harmonic Ascension
Transformation Evolution
The process by which Lúmenai casters evolve their transformations to access higher tier abilities. Examples include Heart Aria ascending to Heart Beat and eventually Concerto Pulse, or Heart Symphony ascending to Heart Crescendo and Finalis Grande. Facilitated by Ascension Artifacts like Coralas and Ambrasis that grow more elaborate as wielder power increases.

L

Light Blade Revolver
Legendary Artifact
Alulu Dayk's modular transforming weapon aligned with Neon Ultra energy. Cycles through seven configurations: handgun, shotgun-blade hybrid, kama-gun, light sword, light broadsword, sniper rifle, and scythe. Each transformation is instantaneous and the weapon's Neon Ultra alignment grants reality-distorting properties that bypass conventional defenses.
Lodesoul
Metaphysical Anchor
A metaphysical convergence anchor tied to specific individuals. According to the Lodesoul Theorem, moving a Lodesoul forces associated realities to gravitationally merge toward the host realm. Tiala's convergence strategy involves relocating multiple Lodesouls to Nexsicon to trigger controlled realm merger and access mythic domains protecting Akashic resonance keys.
Lovely Hearts
Faction Collective
The collective term for Beeston's musical magical girl factions, primarily Heart Melody. Members channel Lúmenai through emotional harmonic resonance, with transformations reflecting their musical and emotional states. Their combat style emphasizes ensemble coordination and resonant amplification.
Lúmenai
Magic System
Beeston's harmonic resonance magic system where power is sung rather than spoken. Operates through emotional truth and voice harmony, with artificial emotional projection weakening output. Organized into tiers from basic Essentia to supremacies like Æónel (Neon Ultra). Vaelóri represent entwinements of multiple base elements. Risk increases with tier, from emotional fatigue to existential failure.

M

Moonlight Curse
Ability
BLADE GUILLOTINE's suppression technique that integrates with Le Couteau for enhanced combat effectiveness. Creates zones of darkness that function as both physical force and perceptual disruption.

N

Neon Ultra
Supreme Element
The fifth tier supreme element representing reality recursion and infinite construct manifestation. Known as Æónel in Lúmenai, it carries extreme risk of existential failure. The Light Blade Revolver's Neon Ultra alignment grants it reality-distorting properties that bypass conventional defensive paradigms.
Nexsicon
Realm
The realm governed by Cymora verbal magic and home to Aspects of Infinity integration. Tiala has designated it as the convergence nucleus for her Akashic Record access strategy. Magical girls here channel conceptual forces through three integration levels, creating some of the most philosophically complex magic in the multireality.

P

Paradox Bracers
Artifact
Transformation artifacts that enable two magical girls to share a single magical girl form. The bracers are linked by a thin connecting tether, which if broken results in the immediate reversion of both girls to their original forms.

R

Reason Theory
Faction
Faction characterized by philosophical approach to combat and magic. Members include Amaranthine Hartfall (wielder of Fate) and Kweliana Winderial la Pax (wielder of Secret), both employing weapons with reality-altering properties tied to metaphysical concepts.
Resonant Recomposition
Phenomenon
The process by which Element Cores can be altered through extreme harmonic exposure, shattering the Core Immutability Doctrine. dissonant discord revealed this capability exists, demonstrating that core signatures are rewritable and magical identity is not permanently fixed.
Royastella
Realm
The realm governed by the Element Core System and home to Starlite 7th. Features identity-bound mana storage in metaphysical Magic Cores with System authorization governing output. The realm's System catastrophically collapsed during Falling Stars, ending magical transformation capability and leaving the population defenseless.
Runic Knights
Combat Classification
Starlite 7th's formal designation as System-authorized magical warriors. After discord's training, they learned to manifest their elemental cores as physical auras, dramatically enhancing combat capabilities through External Core Manifestation.

S

seven silent blades
Weapon Set
A set of seven weapons wielded by Zhòu-chún Tǎoyàn across different combat roles: Ānjìng (knight's broadsword), ciúnas (ninja's interlocking katanas), tăcere (assassin's gunblade), senyap (runic sword for spellcasting), kimya (dancer's fluid jian), cupa (absolute-cutting katana), and shiru (flying sword). Each blade reflects a different combat philosophy while maintaining the silent blade designation through lowercase styling.
Six-Star Installation
Tiānshàng Phenomenon
The ocular manifestation that appears when someone earns the Tiānshàng surname. Six luminous star marks appear in each iris (three upper right, three lower left) creating diagonal bilateral symmetry. Represents synchronization with the Tiānshàng Continuity Field and grants enhanced perceptual awareness, legacy transformation compatibility, and ancestral memory access.
Starlite 7th
Faction
Royastella's premier Runic Knight team consisting of seven members: Starlit Empress, Sultana, Rex, Pasha, Czar, Mikado, and Dynast, led by Starlit Alpha. After BLADE strengthened the Crystallines, they sought training from discord, unknowingly being manipulated toward their systematic destruction during Falling Stars.
Starlight Arsenal
Weapon Set
A collection of seven weapons wielded by the Starlite 7th, each designed for specific combat roles. The arsenal is a symbol of their collective power and unity.
Starlight Blessing
Skill
A powerful skill granted to Starlite 7th by the Royastellan System that grants them incredible and unique abilities and enhanced combat performance. Starlight Blessings are discinctly different than spells in other magic systems, as they are derived from the System's own internal energy and are not subject to the same limitations or constraints.
System (The)
Metaphysical Infrastructure
Royastella's governing magical framework that authorizes transformations, manages mana distribution, and maintains combat capability. Collapsed catastrophically after BLADE's rift manipulation and subsequent kidnapping of Starlit Alpha, leaving magical girls powerless as their costumes faded and weapons vanished.

T

Tiānshàng Legacy
Clan Tradition
A hereditary yet non-automatic honor system where children born into the lineage receive provisional Circumstance Names until proving themselves worthy through existential merit. Only then do they receive the Tiānshàng surname and undergo Six-Star Installation. Based on principles of merit over blood, contribution over survival, and continuity over individuality.

U

Ultimatera
Realm
The final realm in the convergence cycle where ultimate existential conflicts manifest. Details remain deliberately obscured, representing endgame scenarios and final confrontations in the multireality's evolution.
Untethered
Entity Classification
Beings existing without standard reality anchors or origin realm connections. Mahana Sahi arrived in Royastella as an Untethered entity with amnesia, displaying exceptional stats that suggested extraordinary potential once properly integrated with the System.

V

Vaelóri
Lúmenai Term
Tier 2 conjoined elements in Lúmenai formed by entwining two base Essentia. Examples include Nóxira (Poison from Fire+Water), Férroma (Metal from Fire+Earth), Sýlphae (Lightning from Fire+Wind), Crýalune (Ice from Water+Wind), Víratha (Plant from Water+Earth), and Kórelis (Martial from Earth+Wind). Require mastery of component elements and increased harmonic control.
Vitio
Aspect Integration Level
The terminal state of Aspect integration featuring complete subsumption of original personality. The individual becomes an incarnation of the Aspect with no backlash upon disengagement because there is no separation. Repeated Vitio access rewrites cognition—the corruption is not emotional but logical, making adherence to Aspect principles seem increasingly rational.

Z

Zhòu-chún Tǎoyàn
Character
Wielder of the seven silent blades, manifesting different combat personas through distinct weapons. Each blade—Ānjìng, ciúnas, tăcere, senyap, kimya, cupa, and shiru—represents a different fighting philosophy and role designation (knight, ninja, assassin, runic swordmaster, blade dancer, ruthless striker, aerial support).
