The Decline of Magic

The Decline of Magic – a crisis that has hit Gensokyo and is one of the events around which the action of the modification revolves. It explains why danmaku and the spell card system were abandoned, and other things in the setting, like why the ability to fly or cast spells is so limited. From some of the dialogues in the Storymode it can be deduced that, the crisis has started some time ago, as the younger generation (Akyuu, Kosuzu, Playable Character) would only know about life before the crisis from books and folk tales.
