Plot:
In the year 2032, an artifact from a prehuman civilization is discovered on the surface of the moon -- a quantum computing device that comes to be known as Moon Cell, the Holy Grail of the Seven Skies, capable of fulfilling any wish within the realm of that allowed by the laws of physics.
The story takes place within a school called the Tsukumihara Academy (Moon-Sea Plains Academy), which exists within an artificial environment (moon colony?) called the Moon Cell Automaton. Within this setting, a system known as Serial Phantasm (Se.Ra.Ph, spirit particle world materialization) allows the summoning of Servants (computerized daemons or 'Familiars') and the creation of an 'extradimensional' randomly generated maze called the Arena, in which the Grail War is fought ...
Mage Classes (?):
Wizards: Those who follow the traditions passed down from the Atlas Mountains, who bear the ability to materialize souls through Serial Phantasm.
New Generation Mages: Those who can act upon the system of the world through manipulation of the electron sea that is the basis of all matter.
Soul Particle Hackers: Those who can act directly upon the Arena by will.
The overseer of the war is a familiar-looking guy called Priest Kotomine. Welcome to the Midnight Channel.
