The wishes that create Culexus are very specific and remain a well kept secret. Not much is known about the Culexus outside the Ninth Officio, but they are a reclusive group due to the fact that their anti-magic aura makes people around them feel uncomfortable, if not outright sick. When their power reaches a certain level, usually at the end of their training, the Culexus wear the Animus Speculum nearly all day. This suit suppresses their anti-magic and allows the wearer to channel their power into more focused auras, energy blasts and energy shields. While it reduces the overall potency an unsuited Culexus would have, it allows for more precise control and keeps them from burning out much faster. Aside from their aura, the Culexus abilities include telepathy on their own frequency, a direct connection to their Incubator and the power to alter the human mind. Another powerful Culexus ability is prognostication, the Ninth Officio makes use of this to predict witch events more accurate than most others can. Other than these abilities Culexus can learn other useful magics like fixing broken objects. Other tricks that might appear like magic rely on wits and quickness, like eating by detaching the air filter plate leading to the mouth and reattaching it before the suit depressurizes.

<br>The Animus Speculum, an invention of Kyubey, is a reference to the Warhammer 40k Culexus Assassins equipment, it's design based on Akira Kazama from Rival Schools. It is a form fitting black leather suit with padding in key areas and spikes in key impact areas. The helm is customized to fit the head perfectly, a skull embellished on the front. The integrated Vox speaker twists the voice into an electronic voice devoid of emotion. There is a ratchet dial on the back of the helmet to regulate the Limiter Field that suppresses the Culexus aura. Most functions of the suit, including communication and aura regulation, are controlled via eye movement tracked by the helmet's HUD. It possesses several visual and auditive sensors, one of them a heat sensitive night vision mode.

<br>There is a persistent, but false rumour telling that if a Culexus removes her helmet, all her power will be released at once in a huge blast, killing her in the process. Evidence suggests that the incubators themselves are the source of this rumour.

While it is a full rank, Warmaster is more of a title than a type classification. The rank of Warmaster is given only to the strongest, deadliest magical girl in an Officio. They are second only to their Incubator and serve as his right hand and proxy, commanding everyone under their own rank. They take on the most dangerous missions with far reaching consequences and have just about their Officios entire resources at their disposal. A Warmaster is typically trained in more combat techniques than their original rank encompasses to be able to adapt to any situaton. A Warmasters duties also include administrative tasks such as assigning selected missions to suitable subordinates, passing judgement on felonies within their rows and keeping up relations with other Officios.

Similar to the Warmaster, this is also a title rather than a classification and does not change a magical girl's Rank itself. The Equerry stands above all other magical girls except for the Warmaster and her personal aides. She can fight at her Warmaster's side, advise her and take her place during absence. While generally a martial rank instead of a servant, as the Warmaster's right hand the Equerry usually takes care of everything the Warmaster can or does not want to do herself so she can focus on being Warmaster. This often includes paperwork and logistics tasks as well as making sure the Warmaster is put into the best light possible.
