* In various media by [[Nasuverse|Type-Moon]] the ultimate goal of the magi of the Mage's Association is to find a path to obtain the Akashic Records. Another name for this in the [[Nasuverse]] is The Origin, and also the goal of every magus. Fundamentally, the Akashic Records is a database for the world's history, and serves as a place where souls are recycled.
