Jet Striker: A special Magical fueled equipment that uses Ether (later became Aviation Grade Ether) and compresses it together with air and numerous "Lift Charms" to make an Air infantry fly. (source: Strike Witches Manga 1.5)

Lift Charm: A form of Magic Spell that enables a Magic user to have a limited ability of Flight.

Ether:  A special type of combustible fluid that is mixed with lift charms to create a high pressure thrust.

Magic Circuit: A Mana-Electrical Transforming System, it coverts a magic users' mana into electrical, electronic or digital signals to activate a striker unit's control surfaces, weaponry and other various systems.

Electromagnetic Waveform Skill/Mana , Radio Detection and Ranging (MRADAR) : Used to be called Magic-Needles, MRADAR skill is a very vital skill executed by all Infantry Girls. It's a mandatory skill used for detecting and tracking objects on the air or on the earth's surface.  The MRADAR skills taught to Air Infantry Girls depend on the Striker Unit they are using.

e.g. Infantry Girls using F-15 type Strikers are taught with the APG-63/70/63v1/63v2/63v3 abilities, Su-27 Infantries master the N-001/N010/BARS skills… and so on…

MRADAR Training usually lasts for at least a month. The Air Infantry are taught to do calculations, computations and varying scanning spells to see the airspace or surface beyond them.

Radar Warning Receiver system: It's a part of an Air Infantry's Integral self defense system. It's comprised of several antennas placed strategically in a striker unit. It detects Radio waves and Mana signals from emitters such as Mundane Mechanical Radars, other Air Infantry or Neuroi.

Warhead Charm: Specialized charms placed inside weaponry such as missiles or bombs. Magic energy is concentrated in these charms and has written explosive spell incantations. When the weapon containing the charm reaches its intended target, it activates all the Explosive spell incantations and causes the release of the concentrated Magic energy. A Warhead charm has a comparable yield to its mundane warhead counterpart.
E.G. A Warhead charm made for an AIM-120C missile used by an Air Infantry has a comparable explosive yield to a 40 lb HE Blast Fragmentation loaded in a normal AIM-120 missile used by regular aircraft.

Warhead charms are very expensive to make than conventional warheads. It requires a specialized and experienced Magus and the process could take months. As with very expensive Striker units, Warhead charms are usually fewer than conventional weapons.

Self Protection Jammer:  Special Avionics installed in most modern Striker Units. These are used to block Radio or Mana waves tracking an Air Infantry. Self Protection Jammers need magic energy to run and yield Radio or Mana Noise that could disrupt the threat's tracking ability, be it a mechanical mundane radar, another Air Infantry or a Neuroi unit.

Low Line Spell: Magic Spells with minimal incantation. Chant length ranges from a Single word to five two phrases.
(e.g. MRADAR skills,  Pakpao's Ensis Exsequens, Safiyah's Heaven Lance)

Medium line Spell: Magic spells that has three to 7 phrases in order to activate. Being longer than low lines, Medium line Spells are a bit more complex and have greater abilities.
(e.g. Herminia's MRADAR-Witches Inter link)

High Line Spell: A very powerful class of spell that usually has a very high mana requirement, involves at least 8 phrases and has a long duration. Spell's falling under these are usually area wide, anti fleet/army and may already be considered a ritual.

Phantasmagoria Field: Also called Reality Marble in some circles. It is false reality produced a magic user's imagination, wills, emotions, goals or state of mind. A Phantasmagoria Field is a small and bounded field that basically has no rightful place in the world. Therefore, reality will always want to wipe it out. It constantly requires mana from the caster in order to keep the field's structure intact. In effect, the Phantasmagoria Field duration of existence depends on the caster and his or her mana amount.  Also, all Phantasmagoria Fields are High Line spells.
