1''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9026860/1/Super-Magica-Wars Super Magica Wars]]'' is an ongoing MagicalGirl themed MegaCrossover fic in the style of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', written by Ray of Speed on Fanfiction.net. Like [=SRW=], it aims to squish ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', ''Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure'', and ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'' into one continuity, as well as including a number of series that follow the theme but are not, conventionally, MagicalGirl shows, like ''Series/{{Garo}}'' and ''Manga/BusoRenkin''. Also like [=SRW=], it contains at least one OriginalGeneration character, who interacts as an outside force on the various shows. By the far most notable inclusion, in terms of "what are you doing here anyway", is that while the fic claims to include [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]], it includes that series as ''FanFic/MagicaMadokaVeneficusPuella''.

3The fic kicks off with [[Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure Cure Moonlight's]] battle with [[EvilKnockoff Dark Precure]], as per the first episode of Heartcatch, and then dumps directly into the first episode of Nanoha A's. Where it goes off the rails, however, is the fight with the Wolkenritter, when the OriginalGeneration character, [[WeakButSkilled Alexis Weaver]], crashes in, closely pursued by a set of Franchise/{{Terminator}} knock-offs she calls "Memory Recorders".

5The series is still early days, but shows reasonable promise.

8!!This Fanfic provide examples of:
9
10* BerserkButton: Vita's hat, again.
11* BigDamnHeroes: ''Incessantly'' early on, due to the addition of an extra set of reinforcements on each side of ''Nanoha A's'' opening fight. That chapter is actually named "Judgment Justice", a TakeThat at ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment'', which is much-maligned for its excessively long stages and many waves of reinforcements.
12* CallingYourAttacks: Of course.
13* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Nanoha's sheer power is described this way via discussed training montage in the first chapter.
14* EldritchAbomination: The Memory Recorders are implied to be this: their mooks look like streamlined Franchise/{{Terminator}}s, [[StarfishAliens Enbey]] gets rustled by their arrival [[SpiderSense even though he isn't present]], and Alexis, who showed off her BloodKnight tendencies fighting Vita, described them as "the worst enemy".
15* JustHereForGodzilla: Pick a series, but the inclusion of ''Veneficus Puella'' is most likely to invoke this among fanfic readers.
16* LesYay: It opens with Nanoha, so there's that, but Alexis gets told off for eyeing Arf.
17* PragmaticAdaptation: Due to there being a lot of series to get to and the overall darker tone set by the inclusion of ''Veneficus Puella'' and similar series, the narrative cuts out a lot of the wackiness and slice-of-life montage scenes from the first episode of Nanoha A's. It also slightly skims Fate's fight with Signum, compressing their two clashes into one and slightly changing the order of events; this is presumably to give a little more screentime over to Alexis, who needs an actual introduction compared to the other characters.
18* ShoutOut: The weapons Alexis summons with her device, Skull Heart, are the various signature weapons of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' original mechs - thus far, she's used the Excessbein Ashe's [[HeroesPreferSwords T-LINK Saber]] (even bogarting its activation call) and the Weiss Ritter's [[SwissArmyGun Oxtongue Rifle]]. The name of her device is also a ''Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam'' reference.
