Apocrypha Elesis

Apocrypha Elesis (, Apokurifa Ereshisu; lit. "Karmic Retribution, World-Enlightenment Superpower") is a terminology used to classify magic surpassing all conventional weaponry and magic while causing an enormous amount of change or damage in a large-scale area; it's due to this that they're often classified as Forbidden Magic, as such powers are able to cause a genocide of epic proportions. This is typically composed of Caster Magic and Holder Magic alike, invented or obtained through means known to their users; however, it does extend to other known powers and fighting styles, thus is universal.

It's unknown when such powers came into existence, but it's hinted that they've started around the time where magic was evolving and humanity was advancing further and further at incredible rates in order to combat the various threats to their existence as a whole. Since then, such powers have been used time and time again, destroying bits of Earthland and forever changing the scope of history.

Though it's unknown how many of these various powers and abilities are in existence, but it's recorded that there are enough to inevitable wipe out all life should the right conditions be met. Mages who use such powers and abilities are classified as Apostles (, Aposutoru; lit. "Harbingers of the World's Demise"), their very existence being simultaneously feared and wanted by their governments, as they hold the power to bring the world to its knees.

Overview
"It's said that during the height of conflict between two or more parties, that such powers were used to instill fear unlike any other. Having the capabilities to alter the very shape of the world, many mages who implement such power were hailed as gods — being feared by their enemies and praised by their allies. Throughout the course of history, these powers were used to dominate countries, expand territory, bring an end to major threats, and everything else of a similar nature. However, with each use the world changed more and more until becoming what it is now. There have also been times where the owners of such capabilities used them to dominate all that opposed them, assuring their positions in society were maintained at all times. It's never stated what would happen when two of such users were to clash, but its estimated that the world will be forever scarred and all life will be reduced to nearly nothing. Truly, such powers were never meant for the hands of any."

Trivia

 * This is, more or less, based off of the Strategic-Class Magician from the anime/light novel series, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei; however, the author notes that this is also based off of a myriad of things, specifically — powers, weaponry, and abilities seen in other anime and manga series that are able to cause destruction on a larger scale for convenience's sake.
 * It should be noted that the author re-watched the series for "inspiration", but also enjoyed the way they classified and used magic, adding some scientific basis to them as not to sound completely random.


 * This was something the author created out of boredom, serving as a possible kick-start for inspiration for other material and the need to complete his other unfinished works before summer's end for personal reasons.
