Rather than magic, Atlas specialized in Alchemist. It's not independent organization but simply a part of Mage's Association specialized in Alchemy. If Clock Tower is Mage Academy, then Atlas have Atlas Academy to train alchemist.

Contary to most alchemist like Einzbern who pursue practical means, Atlas Alchemist pursue the truth of the world, mainly the basic rule and root of magecraft, hence they're specialized in calculation, prediction, and observation. From Melty Blood it is said that Atlas have connection with Isis/Osiris, mainly appears on Atlas number one genius which have the right to inherit the name "Atlasia". Talk bout Genius, Atlas only have genius as their member.

Think of Atlas as group of mad genius Mathematician who try to uncover the world principle using math.. and one the biggest genius of them all in the end became Dust of Osiris,, one of the dead apostle and extremely accurate "Calculation machine" that managed to calculate distant future..

In fact Atlas is the key for FGO Trimegistus, probably they provide the technology for Laplace (the observatorium) to observe the future and the past.. Not sure if they're the one who invent that time machine tho..
