Magic Intelligence Agency

"There is one rule to spycraft: don't get caught."

The Magic Intelligence Agency (魔法報庁, Mahō Hōchō), better known as the MIA, is the intelligence-gathering arm of the Magic Council based at Nova Era, tasked with the responsibility of gathering intelligence, espionage, surveillance and infiltration of dark guilds, security of classified information, and spell data collection. In its' duties, the MIA acts as logistical support to the Rune Knights, and to a considerably lesser extent, the Ranger Corps. The MIA is also charged with mage survey and, in the last decades, created and developed the Earth Land Mage Database, a database holding basic information on every legal guild-affiliated mage in the magic world, a monumental task that is ongoing to this very day. MIA field operatives are masters of disguise and tend to use weaponry and magic best suited to stealth-based combat and covert operations. The agency assumed many of the duties of the 0th Special Operations Unit and completely replaced the Corbeaux unit, the stomping grounds of their founder. In its' entirety, it is accurate to call the organization "the chairman's spies around the world," and this fearsome collection of covert specialists are lead by the one known as Spymaster.
