There are lists Magi can join for public use, such as lists of healers in case of a global crisis, also kept with the Registrar. Magi are required to submit to having a Registrar entry made via a Reading. Viewing a Registrar entry requires approval by the WMC. Registrar - A documentation system for recording all Magi and their powers during their teenage years. This information is then recorded for the Registrar. Reading - A ceremony after a Magi comes into their magic, where a Magi who can ‘read’ (see Ability Glossary), discovers all the Magi’s abilities. They have anywhere from 1 to 5 abilities and a magical Source. Many non-Magi legends have their roots in these Magi. They are of equal power and have the same abilities per group. International Magi Police Organization (IMPO) – The Magi’s organization for tracking down Magi criminals across the globe.

International Magi Armed Services (IMAS) – The Magi’s military in case of war against non-Magi or an uprising against the WMC. Imp - Derogatory term for agents with the IMPO.
