Background
A unified Empire of all the South East Asian countries. Each nation has their own culturally rich history, and magic is different depending on region and the folklore behind them. In a way, PACT has the resemblance of the old European Union, where each state more or less is autonomous in terms of laws and domestic management. Only different is the PACT Armed Forces (PAF), which consists of all the mages and military resources the member states have. Each member state has their own governors which run the daily affaire domestically under the law of PACT. For every electoral term of 4 years, all the member states cast their vote for a candidate for the Prime Minister's Office.
PACT’s Mage Curriculum was developed by Japan’s 10 Imperial Families and is the standard training path of the PAF. Their magic is inspired by the Ancient Magic of Europe, but modernized. With arcane scripting, the PACT mages draw out fast-paced runic circles, which creates the desired spell effect. Trained mages no longer required to draw the runes on a surface or in the air with magic scripts, instead, if they can visualize the sequence of arcane runes in their mind, they can summon it in the air almost instantaneously. A to B class spells requires a longer drawing method, but the speed of which you can execute the patterns depends on personal ability. A Head of one of the 10 Imperial Families can execute an A-rank spell within seconds.
Due to their unique way of thinking, PACT is very innovative when it comes to magic sequences and develops many different spells for application in both civil-life and military.
Arcadia Academy was also founded in PACT and gained international recognition as the best Mage Academy in the world.
Role during the Hundred Years’ War
PACT was formed to defend themselves against the Chinese Federation. During the war, they were on the defensive and suffered heavy casualties. But after the new modern magic was developed, they reclaimed their territories before pushing the Federation into a stalemate at the Gobi Desert.
Inherited Magic
Rune Sequence Magic: The ability to alter reality with an application of arcane runes. The sequence, segment, and design of the runes can have a different effect, with only imagination and research setting the limit. The Sequence Magic is a path that can be taught to any mages and is the modern type of magic. However, PACT is the most innovative in this form of magic, and the 10 Imperial Families have their own distinct unique magic.
