The Ancient Spellbook Guides the 4 Girls
…PROLOGUE…
The “Spritual Arts”, unleashing techniques from various attributes along with their familiars, and those who wield such arts, the “Charmers”.
Eria the Water Charmer and Gigobyte,
Hiita the Fire Charmer and Fox Fire,
Wynn the Wind Charmer and Petit Dragon,
Aussa the Earth Charmer and Archfiend Marmot of Nefariousness.
The 4 girls and the 4 familiars aim to become full-fledged Spirit Charmers, studying diligently and encouraging each other in their training..
On a certain day, Eria discovers an old spellbook in the library.
The ancient glyphs in it described the Grand Spiritual Art – Ichirin, which surpassed the power of the attributes by mixing various attributes.
The four of them promptly decide to activate “Ichirin” exactly as written, but for the first attempt, the balance of their Spiritual Power fell apart and concluded in failure.
The four of them ponder what could have gone wrong.
At that very moment, some of the writing on the pages of the spellbook began to glow and rise, giving the four of them new guidance.

The Spirit Charmers I
STORY
Eria the Water Charmer

“Eria”, “Hiita”, “Wynn, and “Aussa”: All four of them, along with their familiars, aim to become full-fledged Spirit Charmers.
Eria has found a spellbook in the library.
The four of them try the Grand Spiritual Art – Ichirin written in it, but the balance of their spiritual power falls apart, ending in failure.
Discouraged, the four of them head towards an ancient altar lying in the depths of the ruins, following the guidance of the mysterious glyphs rising from the spellbook.
As if a door towards unknown trials had been opened…

As a TL note, the name of this arc is the same as the name of the spell card Spirit Charmers. The Japanese name is more along the lines of “The Wielders of the Spiritual Arts” (like Spiritual […] Art – Aoi/Kurenai/Miyabi/Kurogane). It’s likely that “Charmer”, “Spirit Charmer”, and this “Spiritual Art Wielder” will be used interchangeably.
