The Ōrumaiti, (Magian: 万能の) 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 form 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

The Ōrumaiti is a highly mysterious and enigmatic deity that has captivated the imagination of the people of Magia Regnum for centuries. The exact origins and appearance of this powerful entity remain shrouded in secrecy, and very little concrete information is known about her. What is known is that the Ōrumaiti is believed to have existed long before the Era of Ruin, a time of great turmoil and upheaval within Magia Regnum. Despite the passing of centuries and the many changes that have taken place in the world of Sparkalia since then, the Ōrumaiti continues to be revered as a powerful and all-knowing force that watches over Magia Regnum and its inhabitants.

Descriptions of the Ōrumaiti vary, but she is generally depicted as a female figure adorned in pink or white robes. However, her body is said to be partially corrupted and incomplete, a phenomenon that is difficult to describe and that few have been able to fully comprehend. It has best been described as "missing pieces". Her unusual appearance has given rise to much speculation about her true nature and origins, and many have been left wondering whether she might be a magical girl from before the Era of Ruin, or perhaps something else entirely.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Ōrumaiti is her apparent connection to a sisterhood of magical girls, which supports the theory that she herself may have been a magical girl before the Era of Ruin. While there is very little information about this supposed sisterhood, it has been suggested that the Ōrumaiti was part of a group of magical girls who possessed similar powers and abilities. Some scholars have theorized that the magical girls of the pre-Ruin era were connected to one another in a way that allowed them to share their powers and knowledge, and that this sisterhood was a manifestation of that connection. Others believe that the Ōrumaiti may have been a leader or mentor to the other magical girls of her time, and that her influence continued even after 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. These beings Magians refer to as the Sonohoka. Like the Ōrumaiti herself, little is known of the Sonohoka before the Era of Ruin. They are believed to be ancient magical girls before the ruin, however this is mostly speculation due to their relation with the Ōrumaiti. Due to the corruption and long years of isolation these beings, except for the Ōrumaiti, eventually lost their minds. The Ōrumaiti fled from her kin and sought refuge on the Dacia continent where she came into contact with a civilization that was struggling to survive in the harsh and dangerous environment. The exact identity and nature of this civilization remain unknown, but it is believed that they recognized the power of the Ōrumaiti and the potential benefits that could come with it. In exchange for their protection and support, the Ōrumaiti promised to grant them the power to become magical girls, marking the birth of a new breed of warriors in the world of Magia Regnum.

The terms of the contract between the Ōrumaiti and the founders of Magia Regnum remain shrouded in mystery, with no clear information on any obligations or conditions associated with it. It is believed, however, that the magical girls who entered into this contract with the Ōrumaiti were granted immense power and abilities, making them formidable warriors capable of defending themselves and their allies against any threat that may arise. Despite the benefits of this contract, however, it is also believed that there may be some hidden costs or consequences associated with it. Some speculate that the Ōrumaiti may have her own agenda or motivations, and that the magical girls who serve her may be unwittingly advancing her goals without fully understanding them. Others believe that the Ōrumaiti's powers may come at a steep price, exacting a toll on the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of those who wield them.

Role in Magia Society

The Shinseina-ro

The Ōrumaiti's role as the overseer of magical girl powers and the balance of power within Magia Regnum has led to the development of a deeply ingrained Magian faith. The Ōrumaiti's power is responsible for the stability and peace that has been maintained within Magia Regnum for centuries. As a result, the Ōrumaiti is greatly revered and worshipped by the Magian people. Despite her apparent absence from everyday life, the Ōrumaiti communicates with those who have the aptitude as magical girls and the ability to hear her. These individuals are often members of the Gaidansu, a group of elite magical girls who are entrusted with the protection of Magia Regnum. Through her communication with the Gaidansu, the Ōrumaiti is able to provide guidance and insight into matters of great importance. In addition to her role in maintaining the balance of power and the stability of Magia Regnum, the Ōrumaiti is also believed to possess incredible magical abilities. She has the power to manipulate time and space, which she has been known to use in order to intervene in the affairs of the magical girls of Magia Regnum. It is said that her powers are nearly limitless, making her a truly formidable force.

The Kotoba is responsible for overseeing the magical girls and their duties, as well as maintaining order and balance within the magical world. The Ōrumaiti's role in this system is significant, as she is the source of all magical girl powers and has the ability to grant or revoke them as she sees fit. The contract that all magical girls form with her is not just a source of power, but also a duty to protect and serve the magical world. During the contract formation, the Ōrumaiti physically appears to the magical girl and grants her powers. However, she only reveals herself to the contract signer and remains largely mysterious and enigmatic to the rest of the magical community. Her telepathic communication with select magical girls is said to be one of the ways she guides and counsels them, passing down wisdom and knowledge that is often included in the Kotoba's teachings. The Ōrumaiti's embodiment of purity, justice, and beauty is reflected in the powers she grants to the magical girls, and drawing upon her power imbues the user with similar qualities.

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".he curse of Hoka Fever is a major concern for the magical girls of Magia Regnum, and its effects are widely known throughout the society. The Ōrumaiti is responsible for identifying and eliminating those who have succumbed to the curse. This is seen as a necessary evil by some within the society, who believe that the protection of the greater good requires the sacrifice of a few individuals. However, others question the morality of such actions, as it involves taking the life of another magical girl.

The Hoka Fever is a result of drawing upon corrupted power, and it affects the mind and spirit of the cursed magical girl. The longer the curse persists, the more harm it causes to the body until the cursed magical girl is effectively torn apart. Although the curse does not kill, it is a slow and painful death that can leave a profound impact on the society. Magical girls who do not uphold their contract with the Ōrumaiti are at risk of drawing from corrupted power and falling victim to Hoka Fever. The Ōrumaiti herself, like her kin, is not immune to corruption, and she too can succumb to the curse. This makes it imperative for the society to maintain a balance of power and ensure that magical girls do not fall victim to corruption.

Despite the seriousness of the curse and its consequences, there are those within the society who seek to exploit it for their own gain. Some seek to manipulate or corrupt others, while others use the threat of the curse to maintain their position of power. Such actions are widely condemned by the society, but they continue to persist. The Ōrumaiti, as the embodiment of purity, justice, and beauty, seeks to maintain balance and prevent such corruption from taking root within the society.

The Ōrumaiti is said to reside within the Shinseina-ro (Magian: 神聖な炉, Sacred Hearth), which is a large, ancient temple located at the heart of the Magia Regnum. The temple is an important location for Magians, and it is believed that the Ōrumaiti's presence within the temple is what keeps the balance of power in check. The temple itself is said to be a place of great power, and it is believed that the Ōrumaiti's magic is amplified within its walls.

The Shinseina-ro is a sprawling complex of buildings and gardens, and it is said that the Ōrumaiti can move within it as she pleases. However, very few people have ever been allowed inside the temple, and it is considered a great honor to be granted an audience with the Ōrumaiti herself. Many Magians believe that the Ōrumaiti's physical presence within the Shinseina-ro is what gives the temple its power, and that if she were to ever leave or be removed from the temple, the balance of power in Magia Regnum would be thrown into chaos. Despite the importance of the Shinseina-ro to Magian society, the temple is shrouded in mystery, and little is known about its inner workings. Some say that the temple is guarded by powerful magical wards and that it is impossible to enter without the Ōrumaiti's permission. Others claim that the temple is home to powerful relics and artifacts, many of which have been lost to time.

Worship

The worship of Ōrumaiti is a central part of Magian society and culture. Magians hold her in high regard as the embodiment of purity, justice, and beauty. She is seen as the protector and maintainer of the balance of power within the magical world, and her powers and abilities are revered. There are a few ways in which the worship of Ōrumaiti manifests in Magian society. One of the primary ways is through the forming of the contract with her in order to become a magical girl. This is seen as a sacred act, and many Magians consider it a privilege to be chosen by her to receive magical powers. The contract obligates the magical girl to protect Ōrumaiti and provide her with a source of life force, which is seen as an offering of gratitude for the gift of magical powers.

In addition to the contract and the guidance provided by the Ōrumaiti, Magians also engage in regular worship and devotion to her through ceremonies and rituals held at various temples and shrines throughout Magia Regnum. These ceremonies and rituals are important ways for Magians to show their devotion to the Ōrumaiti and seek her guidance and protection. Typically, these ceremonies involve offerings of food, flowers, and other items that are considered sacred or valuable in Magian culture. Offerings may vary depending on the specific temple or shrine and the preferences of the Ōrumaiti, but they are always given with the utmost respect and sincerity.

The offerings are typically presented in a ceremonial manner, with great care taken to ensure that they are placed in the proper location and presented with the appropriate level of respect. Priests and priestesses of the Ōrumaiti are often present during these ceremonies to oversee the offerings and offer prayers of thanks and supplication. In addition to physical offerings, prayer and meditation are also important components of Magian worship. During ceremonies, participants may recite prayers or chants in honor of the Ōrumaiti, asking for her guidance and protection. Meditation is also seen as a powerful way to connect with the divine and is often used as a way to quiet the mind and open oneself up to the guidance and wisdom of the Ōrumaiti. Magians believe that by focusing their minds and hearts on the Ōrumaiti, they can connect with her on a deeper level and receive her blessings and protection.
