The Ōrumaiti, also sometimes referred to as the Tengoku no Sonzai or Heavenly Being, is an ancient, almighty being that watches over Magia Regnum and which the Magians revere as their deity. Not much is known of the Ōrumaiti however she is the primary source of magical girl power which exists in Magia Regnum. Magian society is built around her influence and all magical girls within Magia Regnum sign a contract with her to receive their power. Her name, image, and age are seldom revealed to anyone and little is known by even the highest echelons of the Kotoba.

Despite the unknowns surrounding the Ōrumaiti, her influence on the world of Sparkalia cannot be ignored. The magical girls of Magia Regnum have played a crucial role in the ongoing conflicts within the world, and their power has been instrumental in the battles against the various threats that have arisen. Some speculate it remains to be seen what the true intentions of the Ōrumaiti are, and what her ultimate goals may be.

History

Very little is known of the Ōrumaiti outside the fact that she existed before the Era of Ruin within Magia. The Ōrumaiti is typically described as female in appearance and wears pink or white robes. Her body is said to be partially corrupted and appears to be incomplete and those that have known it rarely have the words to describe this phenomenon. However, no exact description is known to most. The Ōrumaiti has indicated sisterhood with other magical girls which many speculate she could be a magical girl from before the ruin, however little to nothing is known of the magical girls before the Era of Ruin.

It is believed the Ōrumaiti was in fact not the only being of her kin and that she survived the ruin with a mix of others. However, due to the corruption and long years of isolation these beings, except for the Ōrumaiti, eventually lost their minds. This caused the Ōrumaiti to flee from these other beings and find sanctuary within the Dacia continent. There the Ōrumaiti met with a civilization in which she made a promise that if they were to protect her then she would grant them power; the divine right to be a magical girl.

The Ōrumaiti signed a contract with the founders of what would become Magia Regnum thus creating some of the first of a new breed of magical girls of the Era of Blemish.

Role in Magia Society

The Shinseina-ro

It is said that the Ōrumaiti is responsible for maintaining the balance of power within Magia Regnum, and that she has the ability to grant or revoke magical girl powers as she sees fit. It is also believed that she has the power to manipulate time and space, and that she has been known to use this power to intervene in the affairs of the magical girls of Magia Regnum. Magian society is built around her influence and all magical girls within Magia Regnum sign a contract with her to receive their power. She has survived for thousands of years in part to Magian faith. While the Ōrumaiti takes no direct role in the every day life of Magia Regnum and mostly slumbers within the halls of the Shinseina-ro (Magian:神聖な炉, Sacred Hearth), she regularly communicates with those within the Gaidansu that have the aptitude as magical girls as well as the ability to hear her.

All magical girls sign a contract directly with her to receive their powers therefore this is the only time when she it physically present. However, she does not reveal herself to anyone but the contract signer during this time. The contract obligates the magical girl to protect her and also provide her with a source of life force in exchange for granting them power which they may use to their own devices. As is an embodiment of purity, justice, and beauty drawing upon her grants the user the same thus the creation of the magical girl. The Ōrumaiti has the ability to communicate with a very select few of the magical girls of Magia Regnum telepathically, and that she often uses this ability to guide and counsel them. Her guidance is said to be wise and insightful, and many magical girls rely on her wisdom passed down from the Kotoba.

However the Ōrumaiti herself, like her kin, also suffers and is inflicted with corruption. As pure acts draw upon pure power, corrupt acts draw upon corrupt power making an unstable power source. Magical girls who do not uphold the contract and draw from this corruption can suffer the same curse from which the Ōrumaiti and those like her have suffered that Magians refer to as "Hoka Fever". While the Hoka Fever does not kill, it is harmful to the body the longer it persists until the corrupted magical girl is effectively torn a apart in mind and spirit. If they do not perish to their own devices, cursed magical girls are often eliminated per instructions from the Ōrumaiti. The curse of Hoka Fever is a serious threat to the magical girls of Magia Regnum, and many of them live in fear of falling victim to it. The Ōrumaiti's role in identifying and eliminating cursed magical girls is seen as a necessary evil by some, but others question the morality of such actions, however to do so publically is taboo within Magian society.
