First up is Clio!

Clio is the God of Curses. As the patron of bad magic, he is a very prideful deity that is aware of his power, yet will use it regardless of what he might accomplish with it. He's the kind of guy that you don't invite to a party, don't even tell him about it, yet he somehow finds out and shows up anyway, then uses the party as an excuse to show off his magic skills.
He created black magic, like curses, and taught it to humans in the event that they ever want to get back at another person using indirect means. If someone wants to cast a curse, they have to call on Clio in order to ensure that the curse will come to fruition. Some only cast curses as a petty one-time revenge thing, but those who cast curses constantly, like for a living, will eventually receive dark markings on their hands. It's called "The Mark of Clio", as a result of calling on his power too often.
He also created objects that are used in curses, like straw dolls, which he is depicted with hanging from his hat. If he himself wants to cast a curse, he takes one of the straw dolls in his hand and speaks the name of the person he wishes to curse. The head of the straw doll will take on the facial features of the person - after that, they're completely at Clio's mercy.
The candles on top of his hat are also essential for properly casting a curse. If you see three green lights and smell candle smoke, it might mean that you're the unwilling victim of a curse.
Next is Fumiya!

Fumiya is the God of Magic. As the patron of magic itself, he is a very vain and flamboyant deity who always wants to put on a show. Like Clio, he's the kind of guy that no one wants at a party, but he's begrudgingly allowed in because he makes for quality entertainment.
He created the practice of magic and taught it to humans as a way to make their lives a little easier, and more colorful as a result. He taught them how to use specific tools in certain spells; most notably fans, which he is mostly depicted carrying. In order to properly use magic, the caster must first call on Fumiya and ask for his assistance.
Since his magic isn't as potent as what Clio deals with, no physical changes happen to the caster. It's in this sense that his magic is referred to as "pure magic".
Lastly is Ichika!

Ichika is the Goddess of Illusions. As patron of tricks of the eye, she is a very playful deity that widely enjoys playing tricks on others. She's the kind of person that doesn't want to go to a party, but will go anyway if only to mess with people from the sidelines.
She created constructs like hallucinations and mirages; something that looks solid and present, even though it's anything but. She's described as a trickster deity, delighting in making humans run around in circles with her illusions. She finds solace in other tricksters of the Earth - she feels seen and appreciated by them. She's especially fond of the fox, to the point that she wears a mask depicting one. It adds to her mischievous nature.
Together, they are known as the Magic Triad, the three deities that represent the three aspects of magic. Anyone who wishes to cast any sort of spell must call on one of them to ensure that it works.
