The modern world hides a secret - magic exists. A war's going on, raging across the globe. Magic is entirely unknown to those not initiated into its secrets.   Magic takes the form of artifacts, which transform you into an avatar and grant powers. The two factions - magical girls and monsters - are named for the shapes of their avatars.   But there're secrets hidden even from the most powerful artifact wielders on Earth... An entire galaxy's worth.
