Perks are a distinctive ability that doesn't rely on the wand, but rather stems from an individual's genetic makeup. It is an integral aspect of their identity. Perks tend to be more powerful than regular powers you could learn when wielding a wand, thus rendering them very valuable in both spy mage parties. Individuals who possess Perks are frequently driven and have the potential to rise to the highest positions within their respective organizations, such as superintendents and CEOs. If you have read the story, this is what Connor possesses.
A consortium of clandestine organizations with the objective of covertly exerting global control by strategically manipulating key elements. Nevertheless, their true objective appears to be the complete destruction of the YMPA, which would subsequently result in the collapse of the entire EMO organization if they execute their strategy effectively. Connor is unaware of the leader's identity and has no inclination to discover it.
YMPA is an academy that develops junior spies, including Connor, before they graduate and officially become YMPA agents. That is when they join the Youth Mage Protocol Agency. The TSA typically targets them as they are the foremost organization for EMO.
The TSA (not the airport TSA) is a prominent organization within the MSTO organization. They specifically focus on the YMPA, their adversary, who often obstructs their progress towards global dominance. They have a keen interest in Connor, as you will discover in the story and upcoming chapters.
The Spy Mage World is an umbrella concept of the underground universe of spy mages. The system comprises two primary factions, EMO and MSTO, which are adversaries. The MSTO seeks to exert dominance over global powers, while the EMO strives to prevent such domination. The prominent organizations are described in their individual entries. The collective is comprised of individuals who possess both espionage skills and magical abilities, which they derive from their primary tools known as wands. These are explained in the item titled "Perks."
And just like spies: No one should know at all.
