Tacticians are able to use the Stratagems to inspire their
allies and give them advantageous effects.
Stratagems, unlike magic, do not require the
expenditure of MP. They require vocalization, and their
range of effect is centered on the user and varies according
to the Adventurer Rank of the Tactician.
Stratagems, by their nature, have no effect on the
Tactician themself. However, the use of Stratagems
increases the Edge, which is a numerical value representing
the Tactician's own momentum. Edge enables the use of
Maneuvers that strengthen the Tactician themself.
Stratagems do not require a Success Value, so they will
always be useful for allies, even if acquired at a low level. As
characters grow, they should learn higher-level Stratagems
with stronger effects to increase their support power. When
enough Edge is accumulated, the Tactician can use it to
employ more effective Stratagems or use Maneuvers to
strengthen themselves and adapt to the situation - this is the
greatest strength of the Tactician.

magitech and disappeared into forests and remote islands.
Even now, Elves have a strong sense of distrust and

In contrast, Magitech Civilization, centered on Humans,
developed slowly at first but grew rapidly after the
emergence of magispheres and their mass production.
During the early days of the Magitech Civilization, their
slogan was “magic for the masses.” The magispheres were
able to transform mana into magic by simply activating them
with a few words. The fact that the Magitech Civilization was
not monopolized by politicians and the powerful, but was
accessible to the masses, was a major breakthrough for the
civilization.
With the development of Magitech, the lives of the
masses became more convenient and affluent. The
invention of Swords of Protection, which were also
produced with the help of Magitech, eliminated the
Barbarous threat. However, Truespeech Magic and

emerging from them. For this reason, many harbor
prejudices against Warlocks, viewing them as messengers of
disaster that bring Daemons to their doorstep. However,
they are also considered as those who can control Daemons

Despite this, because it is well known that Warlocks
have a contract with Daemons and can summon them, it is
