The power of the gods, hidden right in your school

A brief introduction to the Artmegia theme has been revealed via the V-JUMP magazine.

With “Artmegia the Academy City of Divine Arts” as its stage, the battle for the “Divine Power” begins.

“Artmegia” Founding History
“Imprisoned Deities” are higher beings living in the Spiritual World that is cut off from the Real World.
In an era of chaos brought about by various nations vying for supremacy, there was one powerful nation that prospered with the power of the “Imprisoned Deity”.
“Artmegia, the Academy City of Divine Arts”
It is an Academy City State that won the war against other nations with the power of “Nerva, the Imprisoned Deity of Creation” who is one of the Gods of the Spiritual World.
The academy which was created for students to compete against each other learning “Armagi”, drawing its magic power of “Nerva”, eventually became a nation.

A being who holds the destiny of “Artmegia” in his hands with his power of “Future Prophecy”.

TL notes:
-“Armagi” is written as 神芸術 (divine + arts + technique(s)), and force-read as Armagi. This is different from the terms forced-read as “Artmegia” in the other cards.
-Medius’ power is written as 予幻視 (yogenshi), a homophone for 予言 (yogen, prophecy) but replacing the second kanji for “illusion”, and “sight”.
