Combat Realizer Units (
Summary[]
The purpose of its creation is to oppose the extraterrestrial beings, the Spirits. The CR-Unit provides enhanced physical strength and is equipped with various weaponry for the user. However, they are not meant to be used indoors, as objects and corridors can interfere with a Wizard's Territory.[1] The Territory is necessary to wield the CR-Units, as they are otherwise too heavy to wear.[2] CR-Units receives instructions from the Realizer in the Wizard's brain. If this connection is ever severed, the CR-Unit becomes useless.[3]

- White Licorice and Scarlet Licorice have similar designs with the METEOR unit used by ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam and ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny series.
- DEM Wizards that use CR-Units of the same model series as Ellen's are named after characters from Arthurian legend.
- Ellen has <Pendragon>, the last name of King Arthur, and it is equipped with <Caledwich>, another name for Excalibur, and <Rhomgomiant>, which is Arthur's Spear.
- Origami once had <Mordred>, the name of the villainous knight, and it is equipped with <Clarent>, which also shares the same name as Mordred's sword in Arthurian myth.
- Artemisia uses a CR-Unit called <Lancelot>, which comes with a laser sword called <Arondight>, the name of Sir Lancelot's sword in Arthurian myth.
