From what I know, the plot for the movie is the final battle with Fate, right? But this one shows an event in Mahora rather than mundus magicus...
so my question is, does anyone know what it is?

Actually, the film is
not about the final section of the Magic World arc (which sucks because SHAFT is basically repeating the same problem that Xebec did in their version of Negima). Rather, the film is meant to tell the original ending that Ken Akamatsu had planned to use for Negima.
However, given the amount of plot points that still need to be tied up (i.e. the location of Negi's parents, how Itstanbul is important to the story, the demonic origins of Mana and Zazie), there's no way Akamatsu-sensei can continue with the route that he originally planned for Negima (i.e. the ending mentioned above). So, he's releasing the original plan for Negima's ending as a film instead (while continuing the manga for at least another volume).
