For those unfamiliar with this unique universe, ‘The Irregular at Magic High School’ envisions a world where magic is not merely a myth but an integral part of society. However, magic users don’t rely on traditional chants or spells. Instead, they harness their abilities through a Casting Assistant Device (CAD), which is activated and constructs magical rituals using the user’s Psions – a substance-less thought particle. This intricate system creates a rich backdrop for thrilling adventures and complex characters, making the ‘Yotsuba Succession Arc’ film a must-watch for fantasy and anime enthusiasts.
