For those new to the saga, ‘The Irregular at Magic High School’ plunges viewers into a world where magic is real but practiced using advanced technology.

This device is activated by the user’s Psions, which are substance-less thought particles, to construct and execute magical rituals. You can currently stream the series on Crunchyroll.
