The Grimoire of Marisa: The Forbidden Dimension Files - Foreword
When I first wrote this book, I thought it would be simple, writing down basically a database filled with opponents' names, their abilities, and most importantly, the spell cards they used in the battle of choice: Danmaku.
I can't believe how wrong I was.
If I were to try and pin the blame on someone, it'd probably be Yukari, the darn border demon. She was the one who showed me most of the things you're about to read anyway thanks to her gaps. Honestly, though, it's my fault. My curiosity and wish to grow stronger got the better of me, and now here I am. I know things about dimensions I should have never found out about.
So of course I had to write them all down.
I could have just taken these dangerous thoughts down with me in the grave when the time came, but a part of me said to try and unlock the mysteries behind some of them, just to try and piece some of the puzzle together.
The results are mind-blowing.
In these pages are the parts of my grimoire that should have never seen the light of day. They may look like all the other pages that came before this note but the data they contain talk about powers and abilities that could possibly match the shrine maiden of Hakurei herself, Reimu, or even blow her right out of the water. Reimu, if you're reading this, I'm pretty sure you think I'm crazy, but keep in mind that we've got Yukari involved, and you know that if she's majorly concerned with the incident, then it's pretty bad.
But now I'm getting distracted, so I'll get to the point.
Listen, if you're reading this now, no matter if I know you personally or not, keep reading. I've personally made sure that the bad guys can never unlock these files and use them the wrong way, but I don't know if the defenses I've set will be effective in other dimensions. If your name is mentioned in any of the files or you're a friend of one of the subjects, find your page and use what I've given you. From what I've learned about you, you all have the massive potential to help with this crisis. Because of that, I've designed special spell cards (along with a Signature Spark) based on several of the attributes that are explained in your respective files. If I'm right, you'll figure out how to use them soon.
Also, if you're one of the subjects and know some of the others mentioned, it might be a good idea to meet up with them and prepare. Safety in Numbers, right?
Finally, once you're finished reading these pages, pass them on to someone else who needs them or keep them close. Besides our current forces, you're my last resort. It's important that these don't land in the wrong hands, because I'm pretty sure you all know plenty of bad guys that fall into that category. Guard them with your life if necessary. They're coming.
Good Luck, you're seriously going to need it.
Marisa Kirisame,
The Ordinary Magician
