Modern magic (現代魔術 Gendai majutsu) is a new type of magic which was created by Kanji Amami, the grandfather of Shuu Amami, the main protagonist of Hollow Mirror Field. Unlike traditional magi, modern mages who use this kind of magic activate their sorcery through modern technology such as cell phones linking to servers that can access the spiritual plane instead of using grimoires.
It appears that the magic server's outlook varies differently depend on its owner.
