The Department of Curses, Jigmarie (呪詛科, Juso-ka?) is the tenth (X) Department of the Clock Tower branch of the Mage's Association.
History[]
The Department's name, Jigmarie, comes from the name of its founder. As of modern day, it is still under Jigmarie jurisdiction, with a Jigmarie representative acting as its Lord as of the early 2000s.[1]
Characteristics[]
One of its fields of study is Necromancy.[2]
Because the study of curses is looked down upon as unscholarly by the Association, they have fallen far behind the Middle East in that particular field.[3][4]
Members[]
- Lord Jigmarie
- Makiri Zolgen[5]
- Mick Grazilier[6]
- Students who studied under the Department

Necromancy magecraft. The style of magecraft that Shishigou Kairi uses.
Necromancy falls under the magecraft systems of both communicating with the dead and curses among the departments within the Association of Magi, and the term specifies all magecraft styles that primarily use and process corpses. Even after the soul has vanished, a magus’ body continues to have extremely potent magical properties, so the corpses of magi are more useful than regular corpses. Besides magi, corpses of things like beasts with magical properties are also highly valued by necromancers. For instance, a Phantasmal Species can be made into a suitably strong Mystic Code. Shishigou Kairi processes pieces of corpses such as these for every use he could. For example, he used things like monkey hands, owl eyes, and the hearts of magi.
Shishigou Kairi’s Mystic Codes were very high quality, and most of all were easy to use since the Mystic Codes that he made from corpses lacked negative factors such as “regret” and “malice” attached to them (while these increase a Mystic Code’s power, it proportionally raises the possibility of it going berserk). And those who should have fallen into ruin ended up becoming the subject of conversation among magi again—that includes the story of how Shishigou Kairi’s Magic Crest was turned poisonous, though.死霊魔術【その他】

[] Tsukihime Dokuhon PlusPeriod - TSUKIHIME Dictionary: Magecraft [Term], p.188 Magecraft [Term]
A general term for the act of artificially reenacting mysteries and miracles.
Although each school has its individual differences, it is basically a mechanism for using the magical energy in the practitioner's body or the outside world, in order to reenact a predetermined phenomenon. The practitioner sends an order (command) to the foundation (system) controlled by their school, and a pre-made function (program) is executed.
The "electrical current" needed to send that command and execute the program is magical energy.
Though sorcery may seem almighty, it is basically the bringing about of mysteries by means of equivalent exchange. Accordingly, sorceries powerful enough to interfere with Nature will obviously require enough magical energy (mana) to fill Nature just to execute them.
There is a limit to the sorceries that can be executed using an individual's magical energy alone.
Also, sorceries that affect other people's minds and change the course of their thoughts require no physical compensation, but the practitioner will inevitably find their own thoughts being pulled in that altered direction as well. As the saying goes, before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. Because the study of curses is looked down upon as unscholarly by the Association, they have fallen far behind the Middle East in that particular field.魔術【用語】

人為的に神秘・奇蹟を再現する行為の総称。
門派ごとに違いはあるものの、基本的には“術者の体内、もしくは外界に満ちた魔力を変换”する機構。
各門派が取り仕切る基盤（システム）に従って術者が命令（コマンド）を送り、あらかじめ作られていた機能（プログラム）が実行される、というもの。
その、命令を送るのに必要な电流が魔力である。
魔術には万能のイメージがあるが、基本的には等価交换で神秘を起とす。
才能に優れた凛だが、その“なんにでも手を出せる”魔術特性が故に代償を払いまくり、终生まで金欠で悩まされるハメになるとか。
また、他者の精神に干渉し、思考の方向性を変える魔術等は物質的な代償を必要としないが、術者の精神をも変えてしまった方向性に引っ張ってしまう。
人を呪わば穴二つ。
魔術協会では呪術は学問ではないとされ、中东圏のソレに大きく遅れをとっている。 - ↑

Q: There are various departments in the Clock Tower, but what department did Zolgen Makiri belong to when he was in the Clock Tower? Since he had written a paper about Ghost Liners, was he in Spiritual Evocation?Q: There are various departments in the Clock Tower, but what department did Zolgen Makiri belong to when he was in the Clock Tower? Since he had written a paper about Ghost Liners, was he in Spiritual Evocation? <Silver Moon Madao>
Nasu: Likely Botany and Curses. He probably reached the Einzbern as part of the research to reach the Root, and thought he could prove the existence of Ghost Liners which are a permanent and not temporary way for a soul to be.
Takeuchi: So Heroic Spirit summons are all thanks to Einzbern?
Nasu: Heroic Spirit summons in itself is Magecraft from the Clock Tower. Einzbern are descendants of alchemists that succeeded just once in the "materialization of a soul". So it all stems from the hypothesis that if you have the Einzbern system (Holy Grail) you can summon a Heroic Spirit which was previously thought to be impossible.
Takeuchi: I see. That's it. Did you get that, Madao?？ ＜Silver Moon Madao＞
