An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM (無自覚 (AIM) )

Previous Versions
Prior Edit Version (2014):

An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM (無自覚AIM Mujikaku (AIM)?, lit. "No Awareness"), is a term used to refer to the phenomenon in which an esper involuntarily produces an invisible energy field around the esper.[1] While the AIM Diffusion Field (AIM拡散力場 AIM Kakusan Rikiba?) is the energy field that surrounds the esper that is made up of the aggregation of that energy.

It is only detectable through the use of machines,[1] and is unique to the esper.[Notes 1]

Principles

AIMDispersionField IndexManga An illustration on how AIM diffusion fields work, as depicted in the Toaru Majutsu no Index manga adaptation.

AIM is a weak energy that is unconsciously emitted by espers. It cannot be detected by the five senses, and can only be detected through the use of machines, barring espers who can actually sense them,[1] or people like Takitsubo Rikou who can detect and even track the AIM of an esper.[2]

AIM diffusion fields are apparently unique to the type of esper ability, as well as to the individual themselves. A few examples: Pyrokinesis espers heat up their surroundings, telekinesis espers create pressure, and electromasters release electromagnetic fields.[1] Those with the same AIM diffusion field can cause an AIM Diffusion Field Resonance, making the effects of their AIM diffusion field seem stronger.[3]

As they are supernatural in origin, the Imagine Breaker dispels AIM diffusion fields, making its owner the only esper without one.

Relation to Personal Reality

Toaru Majutsu no Index E11 21m 13s It is the AIM diffusion field that is released by Misaka Mikoto in the form of an electromagnetic wave, that allows the movement of electronic machinery such as wind turbines.

Personal Reality is irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Reality is the source of all esper abilities and phenomena that are brought into the real world.[4] One can analyze a person's AIM diffusion field in order to figure out their Personal Reality, and in turn, one can investigate someone's personality and behavioral tendencies.[5] Personal Reality can apparently be abused through the AIM diffusion fields,[6] and can apparently be modified through the AIM fields.[4] It would be apt then, to refer to the AIM diffusion fields as the conduit to which an esper's Personal Reality affects the real world, which is the manifestation of their abilities. Furthermore, since each AIM diffusion field is unique to the esper,[2] it can be assumed that is due to the esper's Personal Reality. AIM diffusion fields are what is released by Himegami Aisa to attract vampires,[7] it is what creates electromagnetic waves that moves the wind turbines when it is not moving when Misaka Mikoto is nearby,[8][3] and it is the thin field that surrounds Accelerator.[9]

When there is interference on the AIM diffusion fields, it can cause a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome.[10] Moreover, if an esper becomes traumatized or incredibly stressed, they may lose control of themselves and are then unable to view reality properly,[11]which would lead to the RSPK Syndrome, the AIM diffusion fields of the esper would affect their surroundings similar to that of an earthquake.[10]

Relation to magic

AIM diffusion field is not harmful to magicians, and despite the massive diffusion field that is aggregated in Academy City, magicians are not harmed when they enter the city and are unharmed when they use magic. Moreover, even if they are a hybrid, the presence of AIM will not harm the user. However, if a magician were to use an esper ability or an esper were to use magic, they would suffer grievous injuries due to the fact that magic and esper powers operate through different laws. This is extended if ever an aggregation of AIM diffusion is "brought out" into the world, specifically, the Imaginary Number District, which creates pressure in the area wherein it is located, making any magician overload and injure themselves.[12]

AIM diffusion field technology

Uses

Scientists and researchers, such as the likes of Kiyama Harumi, devote their time to research AIM,[13] and have facilities such as the AIM Analytic Research Center dedicated to it.[14] It is also very important in the Academy City curriculum and is taught to students as early as a student's first year of middle school.[13] AIM diffusion fields, as stated above, is also used to investigate the personal reality of an esper.[5]

AIM diffusion fields is the common demoninator in all espers, allowing for brainwave networks to exist if the espers have the same brainwave patterns.[14]

Counters

There has been plans to develop a restraining device to restrict the use of powers by taking advantage of the AIM diffusion fields of espers, though Shirai Kuroko states that the restraining device would be too dangerous since esper powers originate deep within the brain.[15]

Technology such as the AIM Jammer is set up to diffusely reflect an esper's AIM diffusion field causing the esper to interfere with his own power,[16] and the level of danger that an esper faces when confronted with an AIM Jammer is dependent on the fact that the esper uses complex calculations with their powers, though depends on the individual to what extent they need these calculations.[17]

Aggregation of AIM diffusion fields

Toaru Majutsu no Index E23 15m 42s The "City of Shimmers" is another dimension that exists due to the aggregation of the esper's AIM diffusion fields.

One of the most important aspects of AIM diffusion fields aggregating. AIM Diffusion Field Resonance occurs when espers with the same type of AIM diffusion field resonate with each other, causing effects of the AIM diffusion fields more prominent. Moreover, if they are overloaded espers, it could cause a massive RSPK Syndrome outbreak.[3]

However, the prime example of an aggregation of AIM diffusion fields is the Imaginary Number District–Five Elements Institution, a separate realm that exists in the same location as Academy City, and is formed through the millions of AIM diffusion fields of the espers that reside in the city,[18] which is one of the core tenants of Aleister Crowley's plans.

Artificial Angels Main article: Artificial Heaven So far shown, artificial angels, or more precisely, artificial beings, since they do not follow the laws of any religion,[19] are formed through the AIM diffusion fields of espers. The likes of Kazakiri Hyouka, which is molded by Aleister Crowley,[19] and the AIM Burst, which is an aggregation of the AIM diffusion fields of the espers of the Level Upper Network, afer Kiyama Harumi lost control of it, can be referred to as Artificial Angels.[20]

Artificial angels have queer powers. For example, the AIM Burst have the ability to use all the powers of the espers that are connected to the Level Upper network,[20] whilst Kazakiri Hyouka exhibit tremendous self-regeneration and strength,[21] among others.

As they are merely an aggregation of AIM diffusion fields, they are most likely be able to be dispelled by the Imagine Breaker. In fact, Kazakiri Hyouka's consciousness was born out of the fear of the Imagine Breaker.[19]

Similarly, espers such as Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku, whose powers are unique and have divine properties, can Awaken and gain greater control of their AIM fields, allowing them to update the very laws of reality themselves. In Accelerator's case, his wings are an expression of his AIM diffusion field.[22]

Likewise, being the purpose of Fuse KAZAKIRI, is to have it take shape, Aiwass also requires a field with vast amounts of AIM to manifest himself.[23]

Current Revision (2017):

An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM (無自覚AIM Mujikaku (AIM)?, lit. "No Awareness"), is a term used to describe the phenomena where a field of energy is unconsciously emitted from an esper's body. [1] This field of energy can be harnessed and manipulated for the generation of an AIM Diffusion Field (AIM拡散力場 AIM Kakusan Rikiba?) which is any region of space where this field has a non zero magnitude of strength (e.g, the volume of space surrounding the esper emitting it). [Notes 1]

This form is energy can only be detected via the use of machines [1] and is unique to the esper emitting it.

AIM is a weak energy that is unconsciously emitted by espers. It cannot be detected by the five senses, and can only be detected through the use of machines, barring espers who can actually sense them,[1] or people like Takitsubo Rikou who can detect and even track the AIM of an esper.[2]

AIM diffusion fields are apparently unique to the type of esper ability, as well as to the individual themselves. A few examples: Pyrokinetic Espers release heat enhancing AIM diffusion fields that heat up their surroundings where'as Telekinetic Espers release pressure inducing fields around them; Electromaster Espers release electromagnetic fields around themselves [1] where'as Accelerator Espers release vector alteration fields instead. When two AIM fields of the same nature overlap one another, they can cause an AIM Diffusion Field Resonance - increasing the strength of their AIM fields; allowing for a stronger manifestation of phenomena.[3]

Given that the energy fields themselves are supernatural in origin, the Imagine Breaker can nullify the strength they have on their surroundings (effects), making it's owner the only known esper who is unable to utilize their AIM diffusion field, yet alone emit one.

Relation to Personal Reality

Toaru Majutsu no Index E11 21m 13s It is the AIM diffusion field that is released by Misaka Mikoto in the form of an electromagnetic wave, that allows the movement of electronic machinery such as wind turbines.

Personal Realities are irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Realities are the source of all phenomena manifested by an esper in the real world.[4] The analysation of a person's AIM diffusion field can be used to figure out the nature of one's Personal Reality as well as the behavioural and personality traits of the esper emitting it.[5] Personal Realities can also be abused via an interference made to the AIM diffusion field [6] and can also be modified through this as well.[4] Following this, it would be apt then to say that an esper's AIM Diffusion Field is the conduit that allows an esper's Personal Reality the ability of affecting the real world; the manifestation of esper phenomena. Further more, since an AIM Diffusion field is found to be unique to the esper themselves, [2] it can be assumed that is due to the esper's Personal Reality. Such examples of effects that AIM diffusion fields have upon the esper's surrounding world are the one's emitted by Himegami Aisa as to allow her the ability to attract vampires,[7] the one emitted by Misaka Mikoto that allows her the ability to produce electromagnetic waves that can move nearby wind turbines [8][3] and the one that acts as a thin field that surrounds Accelerator's body.[9]

Despite all this, AIM diffusion fields can become unstable; when certain forms of interference are made upon an AIM diffusion field, it can lead to a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome.[10] Moreover, if an esper becomes so stressed or traumatized to the point of losing control over their Personal Reality (being unable to view reality properly[11]), that would lead to an RSPK syndrome as well where the AIM diffusion field would affect the esper's surroundings in a similar fashion to that of an earthquake.[10]

Relation to magic

AIM diffusion field is not harmful to magicians, and despite the massive diffusion field that is aggregated in Academy City, magicians are not harmed when they enter the city and are unharmed when they use magic. Moreover, even if they are a hybrid, the presence of AIM will not harm the user.

Notes 1.↑ Takitsubo Rikou's AIM Stalker allow her to memorize the AIM diffusion field of an esper. One can extrapolate that all AIM diffusion fields are unique to the esper.

Info to be sorted
Mina Mathers/Thoth Tarot/Reading Thoth 78:
 * As a grimoire, the Thoth Tarot is capable of absorbing power from its surroundings, enabling it to automatically use magic for self-dense, despite being unable to refine magic power as a living being can. Additionally, it contains the essence of the Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass and through the 20th card of the Major Arcana, The Aeon, is capable of drawing on Aiwass's power.
 * The core of the RT78 is made up of the 78 Tarot cards constructed by Aleister, which can also be seen as sorting them all into a single book. As such...
 * Mina Mather's primary tool is a silver palette knife, which can draw a rainbow line through space.
 * Mina Mather's primary skill is her art, which has given solid form to the uncertain imagination held by many magicians and her primary tool is a silver palette knife which draws a rainbow line through s[ace. These are the ultimate source that drew, colored and constructed the many cards and ceremonial tools used by the Golden Dawn. Because of this, she has been compared to who gave fire to humanity.
 * She is capable of exerting an influence over cats, intentionally and unintentionally, leading to a large number gathering at her feet like a shadow, the likely source of her epithet.
 * The exact degree if the original Mina's skill isn't fully known however the Thoth's recreation has displayed some of her abilities.
 * The recreation was also capable of reading thoughts to a certain degree, though it isn't known if the original could.

Immortality

 * Westcott, one of the founders of the Golden Dawn, was described as possessing a form of quasi-immortality.
 * Aleister, has been described as an immortal. State of existence, extended lifespan, billion potentials.

William Wynn Westcott, one of the Golden Dawn's founders, possessed a form of quasi-immortality. When describing it, Mina Mathers omitted the exact details but mentioned Westcott's speciality in forging documents, his access to corpses as a coroner and how parchment was used to converse with demons and transfer souls. Though Westcott never doubted what he considered the absolute strength of his quasi-immortality, Aleister Crowley killed him by firing an arrow bearing Imagine Breaker into his chest, tearing into the red mass in its center which contained Westcott's soul.

Aleister Crowley himself has been described as an immortal. Aside from having his lifespan extended by 1700 years due to his life support system, Aleister is also in a special state of existence.

It is also presumed that not only the lights and signs are arranged, but the locations and heights of the buildings are controlled in a fashion to fully control the flow of people through the area, and done in a way that it would be noticed on first glance. (Refine and revise, Additional Ref)

The Windowless Building is connected to and controls many of Academy City's core functions and systems. (Ref?)

Trivia
As noted by Kamachi in the afterword of Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 18, the Toaru version of the Battle of Blythe Road differs from the real-life one in a number of ways, though both occurred in April 1900 and both were key incidents in the series of events leading the breakup of the. Nature of magic aside, these are some of the differences between the real Battle of Blythe Road and the Toaru version:
 * was in Paris at the time of the events rather than London and was still affiliated with him, their fallout not occurring until several years after the breakup of the Golden Dawn. Mathers was the leader of the Golden Dawn, however there was growing dissatisfaction with Mathers' leadership among the London temple and his affiliation with Aleister played a part of this. Mathers' decision to promote Aleister against the decision of the London temple officials was the last straw and in a meeting on March 29th 1900, they voted to expel him from the order.
 * Not long afterwards, on April 19th 1900, and several other magicians were present in 36 Blythe Road, Hammersmith when they apparently came under astral siege from Aleister Crowley (and possibly one of his mistresses), wielding a ceremonial dagger and wearing a black  mask and kilt. Aleister's goal was to claim the temple and the contents of its vault, ostensibly on Mathers' behalf. There are varying accounts of the events which followed and as Kamachi mentioned, things are a bit messy. Some accounts claim Aleister entered the premises and climbed some stairs to attack Yeats and others but was pushed back down by them. Others state that he was escorted out of the building by a bouncer or the police. Some have it that he was barred access to the premise and attempted unsuccessfully to get the help of a passing constable to get in.
 * Accounts from both sides claim they won the spiritual battle. Regardless because the police got involved, the matter went to court which ended in favor of the London temple (apparently because they paid the rent for the place). Some accounts claim that further astral attacks between the two sides occurred after the battle. The schisms resulting from the incident eventually led to the breakup of the Golden Dawn. A few years later, the relationship between Mathers and Crowley also began to break down.

Blasting Rod
The Blasting Rod (衝撃の杖</rb> (</rp>ブラスティングロッド</rt>) </rp>) is the magical staff that is in the possession of Aleister Crowley. It is a magical rod that is powerful enough to defeat Fiamma of the Right. The staff is from the legends of an ancient magician who Aleister truly respected as his master.

Appearance
It is simply described as a bent silver rod, although its form is far more elaborate, where it is shown to have intertwining tendrils at the tip of the rod. The rod's outer color is still silver, however, the rod appears to have a greenish-blue color in the inner parts of the wand where the tendrils come to intertwine. It is most probably derived from the crystal-like object that the tendrils surround. It appears clear like glass when its magical nature is strengthened.

Principles
The Blasting Rod is based off of a similarly named magic staff, supposedly owned by, a member of the , and a friend and mentor to.

According to Aleister Crowley's own accounts, Allan Bennett constructed a magical wand, made of lustre — a long glass prism with a neck and a pointed knob such as adorned old-fashioned chandeliers. The wand in question was mounted in a wooden handle painted or carved with various power words, which he carried around with him. One day while he and Allan Bennett went out for a walk, a group of people were ridiculing the use of wands. According to Aleister Crowley, the ridiculing prompted Allan Bennett to make use of his wand and blasted one of them, which put the individual into unconsciousness for fourteen hours before coming to.

Daihasei Festival Arc
The rod is first seen after the failed attempt of Oriana Thomson and Lidvia Lorenzetti to take over Academy City using the Croce di Pietro. It is shown on a screen during the moment where Aleister pondered to himself about the possibility of taking action personally, after the events of the arc.

World War III Arc
The rod's physical form and power is first featured after Fiamma of the Right's defeat at the hands of Kamijou Touma. Aleister Crowley arrives before Fiamma of the Right after being angered due to Fiamma's actions during the World War III, and especially having seen the power that Touma possessed inside him after he previously ripped of his right arm. The battle between Fiamma and Aleister is short-lived, as Aleister using the rod easily overpowers the weakened Fiamma even with the use of his Holy Right, although he survives the attack.

Magic God Othinus Arc
Along with using his magic name, Beast666, Aleister uses the Blasting Rod to attack the Magic Gods of the layer of the world that not even Magic God Othinus' powers could not touch.

Design evolution
According to Haimura, he designed the rod to have a plant motif associated with it like other magic wands in the series.

 * Autonomous action for original

At the core of this system is a set of transistors and LSIs, lined up in a shape resembling a good luck charm or magic circle. Current enters one end, loops around within the circuit and then flows out the other end with no change to current and voltage. It functions as an antenna to catch the transmission from the linked individual (Aleister) and convert it into an electrical signal to be carried into the machine's circuitry, in a manner similar to mosquito coil and bowl-shaped antennas meant to efficiently pick up electromagnetic waves.


 * Component not understood
 * Some transistors and LSIs lined up, seemingly meaningless. Current enters one end, loops around with circuit, then flows out. Moving all over place insider, same as sending power through cable wrapping up in drum, no change to current/voltage, not creating special signal.
 * Shape resembles good luck charm, speculation: invisible field like magnetic field created by electric current, antennas sometimes shaped like mosquito coil/bowl to efficiently pick up EM waves, circuits can be used to catch things as well as passing current through, look like magic circle to ancient person. Pick something up, convert into electrical signal as built into circuit.
 * Analysis
 * Sharp pain as focusing on what being picked up, something like quiet static intermittently played from speaker, like reading barcode - converted into few human words as slipping into ears. No context, array of words like peering into someone's mind. No need to arrange it so another can understand, already understood advance info to comprehend, like rough/random. No structure/grammar, exchange of isolated terms emphasized in accordance to importance, feel like peering at notebook of memo-taker, trying to use all words crammed on page to reconstruct what thinking at time.
 * Something taking vague form as linking together fragments.
 * Analysis end
 * Core shaped like strange circle, linked to someone. Like looking at sun through telescope, carelessly looking would blind, filters to restrict information retrieved to establish normal link. Amount of info received limited. Even if not crack encrypted communication, can determine distance/direction of tower from which transmitted, similar. Used to locate person, person use to locate AAA contact.
 * Even scrapped/dismantled, AAA still AAA, metal fit together, move like living creature when desired by accepted owner, obediently attached.
 * The unit can move in response to the user's movements and commands, even after being damaged or dismantled to a certain degree, and reconfigure itself to match them.

NT17:

 * Core: The core of the Anti-Art Attachment.
 * Aeons, that which will not obey on summon, Abrahadra, upside-down triangle, curse-reversing charm, induction from Temple of Thelema. Science/Magic unified. Trance.
 * Magic design and symbols. Science disguise, core full-on magic, Edison's necromancy device, energy transfer device guiding power in from remote location, (altering energy line to transport matter, tunnel not just there and here).
 * Nosebleeds, minefield.

Principles

 * Part of system missing like jigsaw complete by filling gaps with white pieces, not meant for this use, defeat purpose like battleship engines off and moving with sails.

The components of the suit include things such as arms, weapons of various kinds, ammunition and armor, floating around the body like some pseudo-transforming robot. The unit can move in response to the users movements and commands, and can reconfigure itself to match them. Several components directly equip to the user and in turn connect to others. The parts and weapons of the unit can be swapped out depending on the circumstances.
 * Summoned by EM waves, reconfigured to match Mikoto.(Pt15) Gather around, break apart, transferred and change design. Armor on limbs, joint on back, weapons attach to armor/joint. Supporting leg behind.

The amount of weapons used for this powered suit is described as on "the level of building a fortress", and with a level of firepower capable of making a crater out of a fortress built to withstand the strongest tanks. It can weigh more than twenty tons in all, but is capable of flying, in a way which seemingly ignores gravity, using rocket boosters which can propel it at speeds of over Mach 20.
 * Blast tore Yuiitsu away and blew Touma away, sound/light vanished, blast made to make crate of fortress built to withstand most powerful tank, not small wave or just three times speed of sound.(Pt16)

Components
The Anti-Art Attachment's arsenal includes guns, cannons, swords, spears, flamethrowers, liquid nitrogen emitters, molecular vibration electromagnetic wave emitters, catapults, lasers and excitation emission rods for them, missile pods   with precision-guided missiles, plasma cannons, bunker busting and excavation drills, plasma blades, acid sprayers, gatling guns, rapid-fire cannons and a large caliber railgun, of the type carried on railways and meant for destroying fortresses. The unit's name is engraved on the sides of some of its components.
 * Not meant for equipping on craft but directly equipping to a person.(Pt12)

Misaka Mikoto's Version

 * Version modified for her use. Attempting to recreate black box.
 * Club and hangar.

Kihara Yuiitsu's Version

 * Devoured Elements with Shoggoth and reconfigure.
 * Dog's head and 'Dog's life' written on surface of big chainsaw .(Image)
 * Can be destroyed by Imagine Breaker (even pair of special steel chainsaws have vulnerable sections).

During her battle with the Kamisato Faction below the Windowless Building, Kihara Yuiitsu constructed her own Anti-Art Attachment, devouring the remaining Elements to use as material for the unit. Yuiitsu used a different approach from Noukan, without any help from Aleister, and as such her Anti-Art Attachment isn't connected to Aleister and his power. As Yuiitsu doesn't fully understand the original, she is only reproducing its destructive power. Being constructed from Elements, Yuiitsu's A.A.A. shares some of their traits, such as their ability to blend in with the background and their vulnerability to Imagine Breaker.

Yuiitsu's A.A.A. has a cold yet streamlined and biological appearance, with large portions being translucent. Sharp, crystalline protrusions extending from her back, form a pair of giant wings, with other protrusions resembling eyeballs, claws and fangs. Two long, narrow boosters are positioned on the back of the unit and produce a red light when lit.

Yuiitsu's A.A.A. includes a variety of cannons, lasers, anti-air guns, launchers and armor parts, some of it covering Yuiitsu's legs (tweak). One of its notable weapons is a giant anti-special steel chainsaw, with 'Dog's life' on its surface and a golden retriever head logo inscribed on its surface.
 * The unit is also said to have sensors and other features to assist in aiming and diverting impacts.
 * Aside from the unit's direct firepower, Yuiitsu also makes use of the heat and shockwaves from the weapons being fired (even without aiming), as well as the camouflage ability derived from the Elements, hiding behind the armor parts to disappear from sight. (firing to restrict movement before bringing down chainsaw)

External Link
In a scan of the Anti-Art Attachment's operating system, this function of the Anti-Art Attachment appears similar to a closed circle, not functioning as a circuit and usually not able to be read properly, with the chance of one being sent elsewhere if the link to the 'outside' is carelessly accessed. The Anti-Art Attachment can be used regardless of whether one has a proper understanding of this function (though it defeats the purpose it was meant for), but using the Anti-Art Attachment can result in this power being drawn upon, even if the user doesn't intend for it, and as with any other form of magic, will cause a rejection reaction in espers.


 * Part of system missing like jigsaw complete by filling gaps with white pieces, not meant for this use, defeat purpose like battleship engines off and moving with sails.
 * Mikoto's attempt to read structure of system, instinctively pulled back. Not just one weapon. Feeling of danger/confusion. No language/firewall are barriers but blank spot unable to be read (not nothing there). Weapon operating system laid out in exact detail, however circle closed around spot and not functioning as circuit, filled with unfamiliar.
 * Shaped like weapon, not weapon, wear skin of science but not explained by it. Same feeling as felt during battle with Salome, hopeless powerful and no end. Threat of taking the wrong path, possible destruction of self.(Pt12)
 * Revise slightly due to miscommunication/mistaken impressions.

Appearance

 * School uniform (black/white)

She primarily wears an outfit consisting of a white lab coat over a school uniform, both primarily black and white. The lab coat has pink inner lining and pink wing-shaped patches on the back.(R-S)

Abilities

 * Devised many of the technology used in the cyborg herself. Self-replicating artificial muscles.(94)

Chronology

 * Minor tweaks to TSP

Abilities
Having being fused with the brain of the original Kuriba Ryouko, one talented in the cyborg research field, and having spent a year learning and nurturing its creative abilities, the doppelganger _ (exceed AI). In addition, it has calculation speed and simulation capabilities far greater than that of a human.
 * Don't know when realized, used meticulous ability to escape.

'Soul Possession'
One potentially dangerous aspect of the doppelganger is the nature of its artificial soul. According to the original Ryouko, the soul is merely being stored within the mechanical body rather than being linked to it in the same way as a normal person. If the body was destroyed, the abnormal free soul (自由な魂) would be released into its surroundings, possibly being able to possess other things or maybe even engulf the city.

While still intact during the battle with Scavenger, the doppelganger was shown to be capable of exerting an influence on objects within a close proximity, interfering with objects under the influence of her opponents' abilities. After the body was breached by Naru, the doppelganger displayed the ability of soul possession (魂の憑依) to a much greater degree, being capable of possessing and moving much larger objects over a greater distance. Initially seizing control of Naru's paper and using it to form a replacement arm, together with nearby rubble, the doppelganger absorbed the materials around it and eventually grew a gigantic puppet body higher than a multi-storey building.

Chapter 94:
 * Shedding doubt on soul possession, prediction of soul diffusion theory for deterrence. Mikoto suspects control of substance.
 * In way, data storage airship part of cyborg, safety measures installed, can't crash on own, no weaponry. If interception system activates, all of research results gone.
 * When Predator first spotted Doppelganger, creating something at factory using data at abandoned factory. Different form but resemblance to data sent from Misaki to Mikoto from Kuriba's research papers from before experiment.
 * Self-replicating artificial muscles, traits of ant parasites and slime mold, control materials by embedding themselves at microscopic level. Can think of examples, can AI produce.
 * No mere AI, fused with brain talented in cyborg research field. Spent year learning this kind of creative ability. AI calculation speed and simulation ability far greater than human's. Don't know when realized, used meticulous ability to escape.
 * Mikoto's intuition - despair not just from not being human but from confirming had no soul.

Personality

 * NT13/15 development
 * Instability, broken pride, feeling of having fallen behind, apprehension, burden.

As of December of the current year, following the encounter with the High Priest and a glimpse at what Touma had been facing, Mikoto's pride has been considerably damaged, seeing how far behind she was and feeling she was nothing but a burden to him. At the same time, she is desperate to catch up with Touma and be able to stand on the same stage as him so she could tell him her feelings. This has led to her personality becoming somewhat unstable and developing in a potentially dangerous direction, noted by Salome and exacerbated by her acquisition of the Anti-Art Attachment.

Chronology, Element Arc
Following her initial encounter with the Anti-Art Attachment, Mikoto had her own version constructed and started her own school club in order to get a hangar and manpower to maintain it. She made extensive use of the A.A.A. during the subsequent struggle against the Elements swarming Academy City in the midst of a 55 degree heat wave.

Abilities
Reorganize Abilities section. Cropped image (Iron Sand Puppet/Thundercloud).
 * Iron Sand Puppet (under Iron Sand with Whip Sword, Tentacles): During her battle with Kuriba Ryouko's doppelganger, Mikoto used her ability to create a gigantic puppet out of dust and iron sand to match the doppelganger's own gigantic puppet. This puppet is somewhat fragile due to the small parts making up its body, but it can regenerate and change forms. Additionally, the iron sand can infiltrate wounds inflicted to its enemy and cut it from within. The vibrating iron sand particles inside the puppet rub together and build up electricity, making the puppet dangerous to touch and can be used to fire an iron sand bullet, which penetrated the doppelganger's giant puppet's armor and caused massive damage to it.
 * Thundercloud.

Anti-Art Attachment


Following her initial encounter with the powered suit, Mikoto has a modified version created for her own use. This Anti-Art Attachment possesses most of the armaments used by the original version. Mikoto has attempt to reconstruct the original's 'black box', but apparently hasn't been able to recreate it. However she has been experiencing nose bleeds since beginning to use the A.A.A.

Main Article, Index Chronology Revision
Current: Mikoto's role initially was that of a minor character known to Kamijou Touma before his memory loss. In her reappearance after Touma's memory loss, she acts as the main heroine along with her Sisters. Like with the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun sidestory the Sisters Arc marks a turning point for her character, which is later heavily explored in later appearances, far and few they may be, as a character that has a crush on Kamijou Touma but cannot properly express it. An example of this is her overhearing of Touma promising to Etzali that he will protect her and the world around her. Her role as such remained as is for her earlier appearances, with her getting involved little with Touma's adventures and even then completely unaware of what's truly behind the surface.

It is not until her discovery with Touma's memory loss that she tries to actively become involved with Touma. Moreover, in spite of Touma's insistence in not getting her involved, Mikoto only persists. Her crush, moreover, blossoms even more. Mikoto's character involvement in the plot was not of the greater story unfolding but with her continual association with Kamijou Touma. This finally goes to head during the climactic ending of Toaru Majutsu no Index with World War III, where she goes out of her way to go to the battlefields of Russia to find Touma and bring him back. She later fails in her goal, as Touma refuses her rescue in order to save the world. Despite being a Level 5 she is powerless to save Touma and bring him back to Academy City, though she has not given up on him as shown in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index.

Main Article, Shinyaku Chronology Revision
Current: As an extension to her role from Toaru Majusu no Index, Mikoto continues her similarly in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, with her constantly trying to aid Touma and the battles that he is in, making her an important supporting character. Touma eventually relents to her, and brings her along for the invasion of Hawaii. She proves her mettle, and Touma comes to trust her during battle. Much later Touma would allow her to join him if she chooses to, though doesn’t actively seek out for help. It is not until the GREMLIN invasion of Tokyo, that she and even Index finally achieve getting Touma to believe in them, with him asking them to help her save Freyja. Much later, similarly to the Will of the Whole Misaka Network, she becomes instrumental in helping Touma get rid of the emotional baggage he had felt towards the Perfect World, forcing him to look at the value of the world that they live in, the world he left behind another world for, and finally achieving bittersweet victory over him. Since most of her focus is on Touma, Mikoto doesn’t actively seek out information or knowledge regarding the magic side, simply taking Touma or the other’s word for the importance of the situation that they are in.

However, in the recent arcs of the novel—Mikoto began to constantly search for knowledge of the world beyond Academy City. In New Testament Volume 15 she used the A.A.A despite her hesitations in order to save Touma from Kihara Yuuitsu. In fact, Mikoto having a contact with the A.A.A was enough for Aleister to consider her a threat and cast a curse on her. After surviving the curse of Aleister, in the epilogue of New Testament Volume 17, it was revealed that Mikoto's story with the AAA will still continue. Although instead of Military weapons, Mikoto will alter the A.A.A's weaponry by construction attachments. So far as the series progresses ever since New Testament Volume 13, Mikoto's character became more involved to the plot and is seen as the only heroine from the Old Testament to have constant importance and involvement in the recent arcs.

Main Article, Railgun Chronology Revision
Current: Despite the highly different tones of the original manga and the anime adaptation, Mikoto's role in the story, as the protagonist of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun involves with her dealing with the darker elements of Academy City, sometimes with a little help from her friends.

In spite of her power as the third-ranked Level 5 of Academy City, she is continually challenged by both situations and enemies that test the limits of her character. She first gets involved in an incident with people using the Level Upper, and though she helped in stopping the incident, it foreshadowed the darker side of Academy City. The turning point is of course the Sisters Arc, where she is shown to be utterly powerless against not only the first-ranked Level 5, Accelerator, but of the greater conspiracy that surrounds Academy City, her, and her clones, the Sisters. She experiences growth, humbled by her experience, that despite her power as a Level 5 there are things she cannot solve on her own and that she needs help. Kamijou Touma, who has recently lost his memories including of her, represents this character growth in the form of a crush on him.

Even after the resolution of the Sisters, conspiracies from the Dark Side of Academy City are still brewing up to take her down.

Kigurumi Rock Fes Festival Equipment Equipment for the festival was transported in a number of industrial trucks, but was abandoned during set-up when the Elements attackd. The equipment included many metal pipes and plastic sheets to put together festival stands, small compressed gas cylinders and generators, flour and other ingredients for food stands serving products such and, and a lot of music equipment, including standard guitars, drum sets, microphones, large speakers, cables and industrial lights. There were also large cardboard boxes containing banners and costumes, including carrots, frogs and Bunny Grey. Staff members also had green down jackets, worn over uniforms and stage outfits to protect them from the December cold.

Trial With the Elements' appearance and the abnormal heat wave, the festival grounds were converted into one of the many shelters set up across Academy City. The shelter was given the designation Trial (裁判).
 * Democratic? (1-6)

The shelter was surrounded by comb-like barricades constructed from sheets and pipes tied with wires. Instead of blocking the Elements' way, the design was intended to divert their path, using sprayers to produce a fine mist and cool down areas to influence their direction. Tanks were set up above the sprayers like an IV to allow water to pass through without electricity. The branches and shade from the conifers also helped with the set-up, which was made possible by the excess water from the manmade lake.

The living space in the shelter was removed from the dark, cool places which were at risk from the Elements. It was influenced by the festival, with houses built from cardboard, plastic sheets and meal containers. Several blocks were destroyed by December 9th, though it isn't known whether they were destroyed early on when they were still preparing and perfecting the set-up or due to a mistake later.

Trial was somewhat fortunate in that it had access to the equipment and supplies intended for the Kigurumi Rock Fes, as well as natural shading and a large water source in the park. As well as the building materials for the stands which could be used for construction, there was a stock of ingredients to make flour-based foods which could be preserved without refrigeration, as well as many gas cylinders and generators. The costumes were also usable as makeshift sleeping bags, and for a little protection against the cold after the end of the heat wave.

The shelter's 'ruler' was a middle-aged man in a work uniform, possibly a costume performer, stand constructor or perhaps the park manager, who was apparently put into the position without any choice in the matter. More than a hundred people were present in the shelter around the end of the crisis.

Trial was among the shelters which received a Sphere from Useful Spider at the beginning of the '48 Hours to Restore Order'.

Notes
 * Festival ( trucks in large parking lot, lot of industrial trucks, Element arrival during set-up, metal pipes, plastic sheets, small compressed gas cylinders, put together to festival stands, lot of music equipment, standard guitars, drum set, microphones, large speakers, cables, industrial lights, computer music equipment/electronics broken, large cardboard boxes - banner (name/date), costumes) (lucky? water quality prob but manmade lake - plenty of water, pipes/sheets for stands useful for building, gas cylinders/generators, food (stands for takoyaki/okonomiyaki - flour plentiful, stuff preservable without refrigeration)(not unusual for bear/rabbit to be walking around)
 * Trial shelter (comb-like barricades, pipes tied with wires, rather than blocking way, shower-like devices to produce fine mist (cool down in summer), divert away, like IV sprayers tanks set up above so water passes through without electricity, branches also helped, conifers kept leaves in winter, shade in sun)(Not possible without excess water, living space influenced by festival, houses built from cardboard, plastic sheets, metal containers - unclear what determines grades, removed from dark cool places at risk, costumes lying around - sleeping bags ), some blocks destroyed (early or mess up later?))
 * Crowd near poles to raise flags at lake, flagpole as gallows (hands tied behind back, wire in neck, tip-toes), dissatisfaction/frustration boils over after threat, people deciding to execute ruler, freedom has be restricted even if not satisfied, once over only dissatisfaction left,
 * Didn't leave shelter, still have fear, out of control before so easier to send into chaos.(1-7)
 * Carrot/frog costumes in addition to swimsuit (cold, wear the makeshift sleeping bags with arms/legs)(1-7)

Background During the crisis, a middle-aged man was made into Trial's 'ruler' by the shelter's other occupants.

Chronology, 48 Hours to Restore Order Arc On December 9th, after the end of the Elements and the heat wave, the Trial shelter received a Sphere from Useful Spider as they began '48 Hours to Restore Order'. With the threat past, the shelter residents turned on the 'ruler' and were going to execute him through hanging. He was saved by a disguised Kamijou Touma, who created a distraction with an exploding gas cylinder thrown into the lake and a shout that the Elements were coming, using the crowds' lingering fear to throw them into chaos. After receiving the key to the Sphere, he and Karasuma Fran accessed the Sphere, rewriting its privileges to use it remotely and sending a message for Index and Othinus. They managed to sneak out as the Kamisato Faction arrived to investigate the explosion. Discarding the Bunny Grey costume he'd used, Touma took a staff jacket as they left the park. The Kamisato Faction later physically disconnected Trial's Sphere after they found out that Fran was using it.

Salome, Arc TSP:
 * Throughout December 9th and 10th, Salome remained close to Yuiitsu, forced to follow her orders, and being used as a seat and guard dog. During this time, Yuiitsu attempted to transplant her own thought patterns into Salome and the rest of the Kamisato Faction through the stimuli, as part of an experiment in accomplishing the goal her teacher set for her. Once her brother was rescued however, they immediately turned against Yuiitsu and took back the stolen World Rejecter. Sometime after their slightly violent union with her brother, as the group observed the end of the 48 Hours to Restore Order at dawn on December 11th, Salome carried the cooler with his severed hand.

Karasuma Fran
Appearance She is frequently seen holding a giant UFO balloon which she uses to float around. (?) The balloon has 'ABDUCTION' written in light purple letters along the rim, and a Bunny Grey logo on the top side.

Personality Not much is known about Fran's personality, but it can be assumed that she possesses at least some of the traits common to the members of the Kamisato Faction.

She has a love for the British mascot, Bunny Grey.
 * Merchandise/Themed items: Bandage,(4-4)
 * No readable emotion at times.(1-2)(4-4)


 * Any camouflage would work if disguise magician nature, why sought new friend in stars of night sky, trapped between science and magic, tired of false smile towards one cared for and girls around, sick of small planet where can't escape influence, form of young desire to be taken far away.(Ep)

Background According to Kamisato Kakeru, Fran was supposedly made into a Gemstone via an implant from a, though he isn't sure how much of that is true, and the rest of the Kamisato Faction are split over whether she really was abducted or not. This is later revealed to be false, with Fran actually being a Magician and spy of the Anglican Church.

At some point, Fran came into contact with Kakeru and ended up joining the Kamisato Faction, in order to manipulate them for Laura Stuart.
 * Apparently spends all year staring at stars and chasing UFOs.(3-9)

Chronology Element Arc

48 Hours to Restore Order Arc


 * Chapter 1/2/3/4
 * Epilogue

Abilities Fran claimed to be a Gemstone, however she is actually a Magician. She has an extensive knowledge pertaining to astronomy and radio waves, and is part of the front line of the Kamisato Faction’s information warfare team, together with Ellen. She apparently knows more about astronomical bodies and electromagnetic waves than anyone else in the Kamisato Faction. Spending a lot of time staring at the stars and chasing, she is quite capable when it comes to detecting radio waves and light flashes, and intercepting signals.
 * Apparently spends all year staring at stars and chasing UFOs. Assume detect radio waves/slightest light flash.(3-9)
 * Electronic knowledge, Sphere/computer relaying, information warfare

As Toyama Luca speculated, Fran is the type of magician who observes and researches the stars and mysterious lights in the night sky, the latter of which have been viewed for millennia as unlucky stars and ill omens, and only within the past few decades been superseded by the idea of UFOs and vehicles flown by aliens. These magicians read the future from the stars, seal their light into talismans and amulets, and draw their power out when they see fit - part of the Golden-style of magic which had its heyday at the start of the 20th century and is standard in the present day.
 * Recruiting Luca, knowledge of Luca's magic/level of knowledge.

Fran has knowledge of ancient runes and magic circles, and made use of several such symbols, comprised of several concentric circles with horizontal and vertical lines along the edges of the circles, somewhat resembling, to leave a coded message for Index and Othinus. She is also capable of using a special focusing method to enter a unique mental state, similar to those used by stage actors to get into character, to support the casting of magic and did so together with Luca in order to help cast the latter's spell to access the 'new world'.

Fran is apparently unathletic and cannot climb onto something higher than her waist.

Equipment Fran carries a variety of electronic equipment in her overstuffed backpack, including various antennae and rods which stick out from the backpack like a sea urchin,(3-11,4-1 + Others) radios and communication devices,(ref) and a digital clock. As well as sending and intercepting signals and communications,(V15)(Others) the equipment can also be used for jamming purposes. Fran can control and monitor her equipment via a card-sized terminal connected to the backpack by a spiraling cord like that of a home phone.

Aside from her electronic equipment, Fran also has a -made multi-tool device, with the handle of a pair of pliers, containing screwdriver, gimlet and other tools, as well a silver blade as long as an index finger.

Unsorted:
 * Antenna sticking out from backpack like sea urchin/chestnut burr, like ugly thorns meant to protect contents from external enemy.
 * Tools operated in microwave conditions, output.
 * Rewrite Sphere's privileges with key and establish link with backpack equipment to continue sending data via Sphere.
 * Antenna rod, whack Mary.(4-1)
 * Jamming.(4-3)


 * (2-3) Card-sized screen, connected to backpack by spiraling cord like home phone's. Backpack full of electronics includes digital clock. Small monitor connected by phone-like curled wire. Backlight to see.(2-11)(3-6)

Balloon Fran frequently makes use of a handmade, low-altitude balloon, shaped like a UFO and themed after Bunny Grey. She can apparently adjust the balloon's buoyancy by letting lighter-than-air gas in and out, and freely move it in any direction via remote control using the card-sized terminal in her backpack. The lower surface of the balloon can light up (possibly having a theatre spotlight inside for false abductions) and glow like a paper lantern on a construction site at night or a fluorescent light hanging from the ceiling of Japanese-style lights. The balloon is capable of carrying Fran (and at least one other of Kamijou Touma's size) via a wire hanging from the base.
 * Sent ahead to Useful Spider's base in District 21, with Luca's bombs, won't have machine trouble and crash like cheap drone. (3-4)

Bunny Grey Messenger The Bunny Grey Messenger (ウサギグレイメッセンジャー) is Fran's high power microwave galactic communication space station. About 360 meters long, it was intended to speak to a certain unseen individual for 100 years and a piece of fanart dedicated to Bunny Grey. The station doesn't use nuclear power, but it does create similar levels of energy. The station's output is enough to flood Academy City in microwaves and create an abnormal heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 55 degrees in December. The microwaves can also be focused to incinerate targets on the surface, but the station was not designed to carry out such attacks so it is tricky to pull off and slight adjustments can't easily be made. Fran is capable of remotely operating the station using the high-powered communication equipment she carries in her backpack.
 * Can't make slight adjustments, like frying egg with nuclear reactor.

Gallery:

Trivia:
 * Drunken alien communication, similar to Touma & Mikoto Summer Interview.(2-8)
 * Rabbit alien reference.(3-4)
 * Afterword: Character grown from wondering what called UFOs before that word, how humanity handled them. Rabbit-ear antenna Haimura's idea. Thought really worked with cover story if design included moon rabbit element.
 * When people saw strange light in night sky, fear important event occurring, or try to use to gain knowledge poured down from distant planet (or moon and sun). Looking at that, using horoscope results to make protective charms, not all different from making special device to communicate with UFOs.(Aft)

Toyama Luca
Personality: Minor tweaks.
 * Told key to plan so tried extra hard, down after dropped. Flattering Luca a bad idea (Fran).

Background
 * Current: In the past, loving the sea compared to stifling cities, Luca displayed her love of the sea through art, though no one saw the true meaning behind her painting. Kamisato Kakeru was the only one who looked at her canvas and say the ocean looked like a blue doorway, seeing her soul inside the painting. As a result of this, she fell in love with him and ended up joining the Kamisato Faction.
 * No one saw the true meaning behind her painting (not like winning prize or famous judge taking liking). At some point, she damaged her eye, meaningful for an artist, though it is unclear whether it was coincidental or intentional.

Chronology, Element Arc
 * Current: During the Element infestation and the subsequent heat wave in the city caused by Fran to slow them down, Luca and the rest of the Kamisato Faction set up base in the White Springs Shopping Center. On the morning of December 9th, Luca participated in the faction's march to the Windowless Building and the subsequent battle with Yuiitsu beneath it.  After Kakeru was forced to use the World Rejecter with conflicting desires to protect the others and was exiled, Yuiitsu used the threat of losing the possibility of saving him to force the Kamisato Faction to obey her. Luca and the others then attempted to kill Touma on her orders.
 * Throwing out Maya's stuff

 * Chapter 1:
 * Chapter 2:
 * December 10th:
 * Chapter 3:
 * Chapter 4:
 * December 11th: N/A, presume left Fran and rejoined rest of Kamisato Faction with Kamisato.

Abilities: <!-- -->
 * (4-5) Powder, nitrogen compound like nitric acid - distinct smell/traceable. Outdated musket, antique black powder. Intent on using old-fashioned production methods, distinct aroma.
 * Out of the combat member group from the Kamisato Faction who gathered at District 7's station plaza, Luca and Olivia were said to possess the most firepower, and Luca was Fran's choice out of the group for an expert on magic.
 * Imitative/infection magic knowledge.
 * Discussing problem of another world, ignore whether way to interfere, interfere with Point B from A, focus on imitation/Idol Worship. Distinction between infection (curse focus on part of person in doll, straw doll - traditional method, no real origin (Cracks)). Not all apply, lot of magic circles drawn on ground simplified version of sun or moon. Like constellation table, original shape lost but carving into ground still thought to draw in power of celestial body. Method will have to use imitative magic, something similar in both worlds, open tunnel between two points, send signpost into other world (A.A.A./World Rejecter sending - can't use infection for hand as World Rejecter too powerful to act as catalyst (like taking metal pin surrounding by powerful electromagnets and trying to use different magnet to make compass from it))(Pt7)
 * New World Retrieval Spell: After analyzing and gathering information from the Anti-Art Attachment and the curse which struck Misaka Mikoto, and combining it with her existing knowledge, Luca devised a spell in order to rescue Kamisato Kakeru from the 'new world', casting it together with Karasuma Fran. The spell incorporates a variety of concepts from Thelema, Voodoo and Kabbalah.
 * Core principles and elements.
 * AAA-base
 * Nephthys-base: After the initial attempt was thwarted and the A.A.A. core lost, a second attempt was made using the portion of Nephthys which became part of Patricia Birdway's body.
 * Likely involve infection magic in addition to imitative. Crowley rooted in Egypt. Link to secret of Isis, Osiris and Horus, as starting point.
 * Role as crying woman at Osiris's funeral. Connection - Crowley viewing Osiris less as a god than a symbol of death, dragging Kamisato up from bog of death, Nephthys related to funerals, resonance with hexagram.
 * Equipment:
 * Cheek against gun, peer through sight, thumb raise flint hammer.(3-6)
 * Core principles and elements.
 * Luca cast the spell together with Karasuma Fran, both entering a special mental state using focusing methods similar to ones used by stage actors to get into character.(4-5)
 * Anti-Art Attachment-base
 * Elements of Thelema, Voodoo & Imitative Magic. Both Fran and Luca casting.
 * Hexagram drawn across Academy City while fleeing, gunpowder trail, ignited by musket spark. Modified hexagram drawn with single brushstroke, draws out power of sun (to? Olivia vaguely recognize some from books on ancient runes filling gaps not on released design sheets).
 * Both enter mental state using special focusing methods like ones used by stage actors to get into character.
 * Send vibration into hexagram carved into planet.
 * Peace of six points, four stages, combining triangle of fire and water. To achieve results, seek secrets of simplified six points drawn from straight liens. Desire to summon sun, cast aside Apollo, retrieve Horus. World's true image - in lost Library of Alexandria.
 * Horus - not mere descendent of dead gods, foundation of forces to cleanse world of stains of the cross, correspondence, shake star holding opposing peaks of Da’at and Yesod (Sephiroth).
 * Air solidifying, remaking into sacred ground.
 * Distortion. Like two differing equilateral triangles lining up/moving apart, create different shape/meaning at different seconds, limited resources combined for endless possibility.
 * Separate image of Four Worlds from which power drawn to different Four Worlds. Like moon's reflection in lake.
 * Sun of Horus to cleanse world, known by divine name, (Kamisato Kakeru).
 * Wedges driven in, lost name carved in.
 * Legba Atibon surpass time as gate to manage ceremonies. As Qlipoth becomes compass pointing to truth of world when used with discernment, curse of second Aeon used as prism to divide forces. Distort line to planet descending towards star, substitute symbols.
 * No obvious light/sound.
 * Bind/strengthen planetary symbol with star of power carved into earth. Name symbol as A.A.A. Container starts to glow.
 * Endless reflection of opposing mirrors, overlap like rings of tree, give power to gaze into abyss. As identical symbols approach, resonate like slightest breeze sometimes breaking stone bridge into sea.
 * Speculation of view from above: Like trapped in harmful hallucination after end of endless task, like peering to back of image in opposing mirrors, opening Russian nesting doll to level of electron microscope, peering into depths beyond deepest
 * Crowley (Edward Alexander), demon never before seen and not mentioned in holy text, summoned through combination of existing methods, learn method/break through common world view with something found anywhere.
 * Destroy impossibility facing world. Summon divine name with physical form, fix to Olam Asiyah, surface of Four Worlds.
 * Interrupted by attack on A.A.A. core (mirror corresponding to magic circle, symbol to create endless array of images to create normally impossible resonance).
 * Nephthys-base
 * A.A.A./Nephthys - different connections

 * Manipulate "incense" from chest/nape to alter look/interpretation, vengeful spirit to accomplish what she wanted to do for his sake. (4-5)

Background
 * Cross from Luca throwing out old magazine issue with trash - joy in life, mocking old failure of self-proclaimed fashion leader, confidently announced bogus diet. Online articles erased immediately, paper medium valuable resource. Smug joy of thinking, doesn't matter how knowledgeable try to act because know truth.

 * Fear ghost/curses, door locked, sprinkle salt, paste charms more than necessary. Defense to ensure peace of mind, when one covers all walls entirely in charms - seen as protection from oddity or oddity itself?
 * Theories whispered about scientific explanation of ghost. Plasma, cognitive disorders, magnetic abnormalities. One is extremely low frequency waves outside audible range. Exposed for long periods of time to stimulus not processed with five sense, unable to relax, see or hear imaginary sights or sounds. Ghosts often seen in abandoned houses/cave, tend to have drafts/creaking floors.
 * Theories: Low frequency waves.

 * Information Warfare
 * Internet-obsessed, tall gloomy girl, bots and trolling boards. Academy's Sphere.(2-2)
 * Stealth marketing online.

Sawai Olivia
Appearance:
 * Olivia has light blue eyes and short brown hair worn in twintails. She is dressed as the original Magical Powered Kanamin.

Personality:
 * Current: Not much is known about Olivia's personality, but it can be assumed that she possesses at least some of the traits common to the members of the Kamisato Faction.

She is described as overly-enthusiastic and dedicated to realism. With regards to Kanamin, she believes that the original series is the best. Being the subculture type, Olivia gets along well with the internet-obsessed Maya.

Chronology, 48 Hours to Restore Order Arc: After losing Touma and Fran in the initial pursuit, Olivia was with Maya as she was conducting information warfare at the Academy shelter. She was also part of the group who gathered at School District 7's station plaza, hoping to catch Touma and Fran when they intended to rendezvous with Index and Othinus.

On December 10th, Olivia participated in the Kamisato Faction's attack on Useful Spider's base in School District 21 and the subsequent pursuit of Touma's group afterwards. During the chase, she recognized the escape pattern as drawing out a hexagram and alerted Maya, which led to Luca's initial attempt at accessing the 'new world' being thwarted. When Maya's scent was disrupted and she collapsed, Olivia collided with her severed leg and went into a tailspin, hurting her shoulder in the process.

After the incident, other members of the Kamisato Faction speculated that she might actually be happy about it, given how she had said she was about ready to move on from Kanamin and how sickly girls were currently the big thing. They also speculated that given how dedicated she was to realism, if her character's arm was in a sling, she'd probably smash her bones with a hammer.

Abilities:
 * Current: Olivia is described as an excellent cosplayer and is capable of perfectly recreating every one of her character's gimmicks through science or magic, be it a jet booster, magic wand, laser blade or special boots for running along a wall.

For her cosplay of the original Kanamin, she makes use of a magic wand with a jet engine built into it to fly around. She also uses tracer rounds, resembling red or blue fireworks and perhaps intended to look like magic bullets. She also replicates the original Kanamin's high pitched voice, which the original voice actress is rumored no longer able to reproduce.

Olivia has a certain degree of magical knowledge and apparently makes some use of magic in recreating her character's gimmicks, though she is not described as a Magician.


 * High firepower,(2-5) airspeed.(4-10)

Mary
Mary (<rb>芽李</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>メリー</rt><rp>)</rp>) is a member of the Kamisato Faction and a 'wolf girl', who was raised by wolves.

Appearance Mary has long blonde hair styled in ringlet curls and wears a red dress.

Personality Mary's personality is largely unknown, though she presumably shares some of the traits common to the Kamisato Faction. She displays animalistic traits such as an attraction to meat, a tendency to wander about on all fours, bare teeth like a canine, growl, howl and to go for the throat like a beast. She can apparently be quite stubborn and has been described as supposedly inheriting the noble spirit of the Japanese wolf.

Chronology Afterwards, the Kamisato Faction had trouble getting her back, but managed to find and catch her after she reacted to a Useful Spider siren by howling on a rooftop.
 * Surprise getting her back. Can be stubborn, catching not easy. Supposedly inherited noble spirit of Japanese wolf, need a collar reckoning. Wouldn't have found her if not reacted to Useful Spider's siren by howling on rooftop.

Abilities Though being raised by wolves shouldn't have increased her senses, muscles or digestive system, Mary apparently ignores logic where that is concerned, possessing a bite which can break through bone and a sense of smell exceeding those of a dog's, which is 6000 more sensitive than that of a typical human.

Ghosts (幽霊) are spiritual entities believed to be the souls of the deceased who haven't passed on to the afterlife and remain in the world.

Etymology
The term ghost itself is derived from the Old English gást, believed to come from the Proto-Germanic gaistaz. The term's current common usage as referring to a spirit of the deceased emerged during the 14th century. Aside from ghost, other terms used in English include spirit, phantom, specter/spectre, spook, wraith, haunt and apparition. A more specific term used for certain ghosts is poltergeist (German for "noisy ghost"), which is a spirit which manifests itself by invisibly moving or influencing objects.

The term yūrei (幽霊), used in Japanese, is comprised of yū (幽) and rei (霊), the latter element itself sometimes used as a term for ghosts. Other terms used in Japanese include names include bōrei (亡霊) and shiryō (死霊), as well as the more encompassing obake (お化け) which is primarily used to refer to other supernatural creatures. More specific terms used in Japanese include lit. "vengeful spirit" (怨霊), which return to avenge a wrong done to them in life, lit. "honorable spirit" (御霊), another type of vengeful spirit typically believed to be from the aristocratic class, and jibakurei (地縛霊), which are bound to a specific location.

Principles

 * Myths, Legends and Folklore (no heading in article)
 * There are a large variety of ghost stories in the many mythologies, legends and folklore around the world.
 * There are similarly various reasons within these ghost stories as to why a ghost remains in the world and doesn't pass on to the afterlife. In some cases, there is some lingering regret or grudge which ties the ghost to the world, the nature of their death prevents them from passing over, and for some, such as, they made transgressions in life which have left them unable to enter the realms of the afterlife and forced them to wander the Earth.
 * Various cultures have common appearances associated with ghosts. In Japanese culture for example, ghosts are depicted as wearing pure white burial clothes with a triangular headdress and accompanied by.
 * Common traits associated with ghosts include a pale complexion (& dark?), non-corporeality, varying degrees of transparency, and for some, the ability to manipulate objects. Some are capable of possession. In various stories, they are often accompanied by cold temperatures, pale floating lights or embers (referred to as, or ghost lights), and mist.
 * Certain locations are said to be haunted by ghosts, including certain graveyards and . These locations might be inhabited by spirits for a number of reasons; the ghosts may have been former residents or familiar with the location in life, it might be the resting place of their remains, or it might be the site of their death (in a fair number of ghost stories, these deaths are violent or tragic).
 * There are various stories of ghosts who haunt or curse people who enter their domain or commit a transgression against them. Ghosts are sometimes given prayers and food offerings, or have ceremonies conducted in their name, to honor or placate them.

 * The existences and principles behind ghosts held on the magic side have not been fully explored, however there are various forms of magic which make use of legends and folklore surrounding ghosts.


 * Science
 * The existence of ghosts is generally not accepted within scientific circles, however there are a number of theories whispered about for a scientific explanation for ghosts. These include plasma, cognitive disorders and magnetic abnormalities.
 * Case Study/Example
 * Maya - Details regarding one known ghost.
 * The one ghost to have appeared so far, Maya, herself doesn't know what a ghost or a soul really is, but pictures it as something like a smell; if she can rub the smell of her life onto something before it fades with time, she can live on and if she can't produce the original smell, she had to protect the current one, as once it disappeared it would be the end for her.
 * Long black hair, hunched forward, pure white burial clothes, occasionally fade in/out. Like image projected in fog, not quite accurate.

At present, the only ghost character to appear in the series so far is Maya, a member of the Kamisato Faction, who bears the traditional appearance associated with Japanese variants.(V16,7)

Trivia

 * The term ghost is sometimes used to refer to figures from the past that continue to linger, such as Aleister Crowley,(V13) or appear when they should be dead, such as when Mugino Shizuri briefly mistook Fremea Seivelun for Frenda Seivelun's ghost.(V2)

Kamisato Rescue Arc
The Kamisato Rescue Arc is a story arc in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index and the final part of the Kamisato Arc.

In the aftermath of the Elements and the abnormal heat wave, Academy City has entered into a restoration period. Following a battle under the Windowless Building, Kamisato Kakeru was exiled by the World Rejecter and Kihara Yuiitsu used the possibility of losing the only way to save him to bind the Kamisato Faction, sending them to kill Kamijou Touma. With only Karasuma Fran not turning on him, Touma seeks a way to rescue Kamisato and break Yuiitsu's hold on the girls.

Kamisato Faction and Kihara Yuiitsu
Due to the mortal injuries inflicted to Kihara Noukan on the night of December 3rd, Kihara Yuiitsu sought revenge on Kamisato Kakeru. After devising a plan of action and gathering the necessary materials, Yuiitsu posed as Keshouin Asuka to get close to him and on the night of December 5th, severed his right hand in a sneak attack. Seizing control of World Rejecter, Yuiitsu fought against Kamijou Touma, Salome, Misaka Mikoto and several members of the Kamisato Faction, while others tended to Kamisato. This battle ended when Mikoto accidentally came into contact with Noukan's Anti-Art Attachment and seeing Touma in danger, used it against Yuiitsu.

After being blown away and repairing herself with Sample Shoggoth, Yuiitsu turned her hand towards the Windowless Building and was subsequently confronted by Aleister Crowley. With the contact between Mikoto and the Anti-Art Attachment creating a new threat in addition to Kamisato Kakeru, Aleister told Yuiitsu that she would deal with one of the two and he would deal with the other.

Following this initial confrontation, the Kamisato Faction went underground while planning their counterattack. In order to lure them out, Yuiitsu unleashed the Elements on the city. On learning that they were slowed by high temperatures, Karasuma Fran used her space station, the Bunny Grey Messenger, to flood the city in microwaves and create an artificial heat wave. During the heat wave, the Kamisato Faction occupied the White Springs Shopping Center. On December 9th, the Kamisato Faction, accompanied by Touma, marched to the Windowless Building and confronted Yuiitsu below it. They eventually defeated Yuiitsu but her last gambit with the building's rocket boosters forced Kamisato to use World Rejecter with conflicting desires in order to protect the others, resulting in him being exiled by it.

Afterwards, Yuiitsu reclaimed the World Rejecter and dangled the possibility of the World Rejecter being the only means to recover Kamisato in front of the distraught Kamisato Faction. Using the threat of this possibility being lost should they act against her, Yuiitsu forced the Kamisato Faction to follow her commands and ordered them to kill Touma. At same time, Yuiitsu intended to use the Kamisato Faction in an experiment to transplant and spread her thought patterns to society, as part of her promise to surpass Noukan and become a truly unique Kihara.

While reluctant to follow Yuiitsu's commands, the Kamisato Faction didn't want to risk losing what they thought was the one hope of saving Kamisato, and pursued Touma with intent to kill. The only one not to do so was Karasuma Fran. Presenting herself as a Gemstone who got her powers as the result of an implant from a UFO, Fran was actually a Magician from the Anglican Church, planted in the Kamisato Faction in order to manipulate Kamisato Kakeru on behalf of Laura Stuart, though she had come to love the boy as much as the rest of them.

Academy City

 * Aleister and Yuiitsu, Kamisato and Mikoto
 * Heat wave and Elements.
 * Shelters, looting, Useful Spider.

Situation Academy City was heavily damaged by the combination of the Elements and the intense heat wave exceeding 55 degrees. The heat knocked out the city's infrastructure; power, water, gas and information, as well as most of the electronics. With the internet, phones and other information infrastructures offline, communication was severely limited. Due to the heat knocking out electronics, most vehicles within the city were immobilized and with surfaces in the open heated up, together with the threat of the Elements lurking in the cooler area, travel was also heavily restricted.
 * Heat wave
 * Electronics
 * Refrigeration
 * Cars, batteries, communication
 * Solar not option, fluorescence
 * Residents
 * Elements
 * Class breakdown, Water hunting
 * Exception for Useful Spider's post-disaster relief equipment in their shielded base.

During an expedition to destroy the Crystal Tower on December 8th, believed to be the control point for the Elements but actually a lure to identify threats, Tokiwadai Middle School and School Garden suffered severe damage from an Element assault led by Yuiitsu, with particular focus on the hangar housing Misaka Mikoto's Anti-Art Attachment. In the aftermath, people came in from outside School Garden and took advantage of the defenders' injuries and exhaustion to loot the school. The student body was subsequently moved to Heaven Canceller's Hospital, designated shelter Hospital.

Following the final confrontation beneath the Windowless Building, Yuiitsu had the Elements self-destruct, leaving piles of white sand-like particles across the city. With the end of the heat wave and the Elements on the morning of December 9th, Useful Spider mobilized from their base under an observatory in School District 21 in order to rebuild the city - beginning 48 Hours to Restore Order.

Shelters During the heat wave and Element infestation, many shelters were set up by residents and refugees across Academy City.
 * Schools, hospitals, hotels, landmarks.(V16BTL2)
 * Rules.(2-4) Many of the shelters developed their own set of rules.
 * Rulers.(1-7)

A number of these shelters received names, consisting of a term relating to their location or how they were run, which they were referred to during the crisis and the recovery period afterwards. These named shelters included:

New World
After being exiled to the spare regions of the timeline by the World Rejecter, the Magic Gods of the true Gremlin, though not pleased at being done in by a human, found that the new world was not a bad home for them. In particular, the fact that actions in the new world have no effect on the regular world and all damage to it is undone when it is updated at midnight to match with the regular world, allowed the Magic Gods to act freely, which they hadn't been able to do before due to concern about the damage they could cause to the world and its inhabitants.

Aftermath After receiving news of Kamisato's return, the Kamisato Faction turned on Yuiitsu, who despite being faced with Salome and other armed girls, merely treated it as the end of a game. Yuiitsu's fate isn't fully known, but the girls succeeded in severing the stolen right hand and retrieving World Rejecter.

On reuniting with Kamisato, many of the girls reacted violently, leading him to briefly wonder if the Magic Gods had created a happy-looking hell which only appeared to be a safe return. Overwhelmed with emotion, Machina smacked him with a frying pan and Elza hit him with her bottle of 10 yen coins. Claire wrapped his body with vines, Salome wordlessly chewed through a utility knife blade to gather power, and Deborah turned the corner of an intersection driving a semi-trailer truck pulling a 20-ton container.

Aftermath

Element Arc
The Element Arc is a story arc in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index.

Following the disappearance of Kamisato Kakeru after Kihara Yuiitsu stole World Rejecter, Academy City has been hit by an abnormal heat wave exceeding 55 degrees, taking out the city's infrastructure. At the same time, the city has also been infested by life forms known as Elements.

Background

 * Kamisato Faction
 * Kihara Yuiitsu
 * Misaka Mikoto

Afterwards, Mikoto created her own version of the A.A.A., attempting to recreate the 'black box'. She also started a club to maintain it and acquired a hangar to house it.(Ch2)

Elements
In order to draw out the Kamisato Faction, who had disappeared after their initial confrontation, Yuiitsu unleashed the Elements, reduced life forms which were a hybrid of science and magic. Created in the shape of animals and plants, with a reverse of the process which converts animal and plant remains into petroleum over time, and animated by a magic-based core corresponding to one of the four elements,  the Elements possessed the ability to. <!-- As this method can create an outward form but can't give it a soul or life, a magic-based core is used to animate the body.
 * Basic description
 * Crystal Tower lure
 * Situation

Elements have a large translucent crystal body and take the form of an animal or plant, often one specializing in mimicry. The Elements themselves also specialize in, being capable of blending in with their surroundings.

Elements are also classed according to their size, with the minimum (or average?) size of each class being twice the minimum of the previous class; Class 1 being 3m, Class 2 being 6m, Class 3 being 12m and Class 4, initially assumed to be the largest, being 24m. The largest Elements seen are Class 6, which can measure over 100m.

While their structures are based off regular creatures, Elements can continue to move even after sustaining damage which would kill a normal creature. However if their core is destroyed, the Element will cease functioning and fall apart at the joints.

Though possessing considerable strength due to their size, camouflage and elemental powers, Elements have a number of weaknesses. The activity of Elements is reduced in temperatures exceeding 42 degrees Celsius, which greatly limited their movements during the 55 degree heatwave, restricting them to cool, dark places during the day. Driven by supernatural power, the Elements are vulnerable to Imagine Breaker. One touch to the body will destroy the core, though it won't immediately and completely destroy the body itself. (sonic countermeasures,17-2-12)

The Elements can follow commands and are apparently capable of emitting killing intent unlike machines, but lack the intelligence to carry out certain tasks; while they can climb stairs and break down doors and windows, they can't open locks, turn doorknobs or use ladders and ropes. They can also self-destruct on command, leaving nothing but a pile of white sand-like particles.

The Crystal Tower (水晶の塔) is a structure which appeared in the center of School District 7 (5km north of Tokiwadai), acting to guide the Elements descending into Academy City from space. Breaking through from below a domed stadium, the tower was 200m tall and 30m thick at its base, thickness reducing further up the tower like an inverted icicle. The tower resembled the Elements when seen from a distance.

Elements entered Academy City by dropping down from space at night when few were looking. In order to achieve a pinpoint landing on Academy City, as well as an angle of entry such that they won't be deflected outward or burn up in the atmosphere, they required guidance from the surface. The Crystal Tower carried out this function by intermittently sending up an optical signal into space from the center of the city.

With a structure similar to that of the Elements, the Crystal Tower was vulnerable to Imagine Breaker and began to collapse on touch.

The true function of the Crystal Tower however was actually as a decoy to draw out and identify potential threats, as well as a trigger for a counterattack. While the enemy's attention was focused on the conspicuous tower and space-drop, their base of operations would be tracked and then destroyed by a coordinated attack to cut off their supply line before moving in to finish them off.

The smallest Element, rice-sized with small wings, six legs and a small, sharp stinger. They act to gather information from their surroundings before transmitting it to a base station, resembling a mini-Crystal Tower, which then sends it to Kihara Yuiitsu, via ultrasonic waves produced through oscillation. -->

Heat Wave
After initial contact with the Elements, the Kamisato Faction performed experiments on captured subjects and determined that their activity was lowered in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. Following this finding, Fran used her space station Bunny Grey Messenger to flood Academy City in microwaves, creating an artificial heat wave with temperatures exceeding 55 degrees Celsius.

Sections:
 * Infrastructure collapse
 * Vulnerability, Yuiitsu's report
 * Shelter situation, water hunts, social shift

Large Heatwave ((大熱波):
 * Alternative titles: Academy City December Heatwave, December Heatwave, Large Heatwave
 * 3 days after Kamisato's disappearance (December 7th - 9th), abnormal 'weather' in Academy City
 * Temperatures exceeding 55 degrees Celsius
 * Asphalt starting to melt, urban infrastructure stopped, electricity, gas and water life-lines interrupted
 * Electronics and network wiped out, contact lost.
 * Residents under siege in building due to Elements.
 * Soon suffer from heat stroke if not in swimsuit
 * Water supply interrupted so require careful consumption of food/water, forced to carry out water hunts (水狩(みずがり)).
 * Touma and others using tightrope (綱渡り)/glider to move.
 * Tokiwadai - detecting underground water vein/combining abilities, relatively stable.
 * Mikoto explains, cause not weather but microwaves from space being focused on AC, turning it into huge oven. Ability can deflect but inefficient so focusing on AAA.
 * Caused by Fran on Kamisato Faction's behalf to surpress the activity of Elements.
 * Tendency for Elements to lurk in cool, dark places and more active at night.
 * Home-made space station, focusing microwaves onto AC, greatly diminishing activity time and range of Elements in city.
 * If not, Elements would be 50 to 60 times more active and AC would have fallen in half a day apparently.
 * After confronting Kihara Yuiitsu and the Elements' role end, no further need for heat wave.

Personality

 * Noukan - respect/care

World Rejecter Arc
The night after Noukan killed the High Priest and stopped the Arrowhead Comet, Yuiitsu cooked him dinner in her luxury apartment. She sat down to eat her dinner with him but had only just started on her salad when he had finished his. After being complimented on her cooking, Yuiitsu mentioned how he was having maintenance done to his weapon and how he had said it wasn't over yet, with Noukan mentioning how he was bothered by how the Magic Gods had suddenly vanished, considering it fishy.

Later that night, Yuiitsu found Noukan, severely beaten after his clash with Kamisato Kakeru and close to death. Breaking down in tears on seeing Noukan's mortal injuries, Yuiitsu tried to figure out a way to save her teacher. Unable to save him with the time and technology available to her, Yuiitsu took Noukan to a nearby facility, deciding to place him into cold sleep in the hope that he could somehow be saved in the future. As Yuiitsu prepared to put him in cold sleep, Noukan used his last chance to speak to her to encourage her to grow and surpass him, adding he had nothing more to teach her. Immediately afterwards, he lost consciousness as Yuiitsu activated the flash-freezing process. Having succeeded in preserving her teacher, Yuiitsu vowed that she would surpass him, go beyond 'Kihara' and become something truly 'unique', adding it would be the romantic thing to do.

Salome Arc
Yuiitsu subsequently brought Kihara Enshuu out of her imposed confinement to help her analyze the remains of Noukan's A.A.A. in order to understand the teacher she had to surpass and the enemy who had defeated him. In the process, Yuiitsu realized that Enshuu had been made to voluntarily confine herself through Aleister's Archetype Controller so she couldn't decode the A.A.A.'s secret. After leaving the facility, Yuiitsu encountered a girl and her robotic dog, who asked after Noukan. Yuiitsu knocked her out with her tool, erasing her memory instead of killing the witness.

In order to take her revenge, Yuiitsu devised a plan to steal World Rejecter to use against her enemies and assembled the resources she would need to accomplish it; the Five Over Outsider's optical camouflage technology, an attenuated strain of the St. Germain virus and Sample Shoggoth.
 * Disguised as Keshouin Asuka

On the night of December 5th, Yuiitsu ambushed Kamisato Kakeru and severed his right hand before stitching it onto her own arm with Sample Shoggoth, having rewritten her brain with the virus so as to seize the World Rejecter.

Yuiitsu then proceeded to face Touma, Salome and later Misaka Mikoto in battle, using the abilities she had acquired, deception and her own tools.

However just as she had Touma at her mercy, she was blown away by a strike from the Anti-Art Attachment wielded by Mikoto, who had fallen into one of the hangars which Yuiitsu had missed.

After stitching her wounded body together, Yuiitsu turned her attention towards the Windowless Building, prompting Aleister himself to appear and confront her. Yuiitsu reached an agreement with him whereby she would deal with one threat to his plan and he would tackle the other one.

Kamisato Rescue Arc
During December 9th and 10th, Yuiitsu mostly remained below the Windowless Building with a number of the Kamisato Faction's fighters, as the 48 Hours to Restore Order were progressing. During this time, she continued to torment the Kamisato Faction with her orders and threat, leading them to refer to her as Tyrant. At the same time, she also attempted to transplant her own thought patterns into the Kamisato Faction as part of an experiment in accomplishing the goal her teacher set for her.
 * Stimuli

After receiving news of Kamisato's return, the Kamisato Faction immediately turned on Yuiitsu, who despite being faced with Salome and other armed girls, merely treated it as the end of a game. Yuiitsu's fate isn't fully known, but the girls succeeded in severing the stolen right hand and retrieving World Rejecter.

Abilities
As with other Kiharas, Yuiitsu possesses considerable scientific knowledge and intellect. Her researcher's mind is capable of taking into account conditions, tool and possible methods, and calculating the values and steps in order to reach a goal, even when Yuiitsu herself is under immense distress.
 * Forensic and investigative capabilities
 * Making use of whatever can lay hands on.

Yuiitsu is also capable of cooking, preparing meals for herself and her teacher.


 * Using labcoat to divert blows.(15-5)


 * Biological laboratory
 * Attenuated St. Germain virus
 * Magic, MG imitation
 * Niang-Niang weapons
 * Prosperina pomegranates
 * Sample Shoggoth control
 * Investigative/forensic capabilities

Having infested herself with Sample Shoggoth, Yuiitsu was able to make use of its abilities to sew her wounds together and attack with its shape-shifting forms.(15-5)

Using a combination of Sample Shoggoth and an attenuated St. Germain virus (弱毒性サンジェルマンウィルス) she'd cultivated from a sample in her mobile laboratory, Yuiitsu was able to sew Kamisato Kakeru's severed hand onto her arm and rewrite her brain to trick its recognition so she would be recognized as the owner of the hand, allowing her to use World Rejecter, though she required the trigger phrase in order to do so. The combination also allowed her to produce imitations of the Magic Gods and their attacks as part of a bluff that she had the real ones at her disposal - Sample Shoggoth's shapeshifting abilities allowing her to produce fake models with their forms and the attenuated St. Germain virus allowing her to use magic, specifically relating to carbon and plants, and prepared in forms to aid the deception.
 * Finger weapons, Niang-Niang
 * Pomegranate seeds: One of the spells used by Yuiitsu as part of her deception involved pomegranate seeds, based on the legend of Persephone/Proserpina who was taken to the underworld and tricked into eating a pomegranate from there, binding her to the underworld and death. The seeds are fired as high-speed projectiles and leave masses of darkness the size of baseballs, which appear to bend the light from their surroundings, sucking it into towards the center.

After obtaining samples of the St. Germain virus, she was able to cultivate and attenuate it.

By combining her scientific knowledge with a knowledge of magic obtained with the St. Germain virus, Yuiitsu is capable of devising hybrid methods, such as the Elements.(5-1)

Anti-Art Attachment

 * Devoured Elements with Shoggoth and reconfigure.
 * Dog's head and 'Dog's life' written on surface of big chainsaw .(Image)
 * Can be destroyed by Imagine Breaker (even pair of special steel chainsaws have vulnerable sections).

During her battle with the Kamisato Faction below the Windowless Building, Yuiitsu constructed her own Anti-Art Attachment, devouring the remaining Elements to use as material for the unit. Yuiitsu used a different approach from Noukan, without any help from Aleister, and as such her Anti-Art Attachment isn't connected to Aleister and his power. As Yuiitsu doesn't fully understand the original, she is only reproducing its destructive power. Being constructed from Elements, Yuiitsu's A.A.A. shares some of their traits, such as their ability to blend in with the background and their vulnerability to Imagine Breaker.

Yuiitsu's A.A.A. has a cold yet streamlined and biological appearance, with large portions being translucent. Sharp, crystalline protrusions extending from her back, form a pair of giant wings, with other protrusions resembling eyeballs, claws and fangs. Two long, narrow boosters are positioned on the back of the unit and produce a red light when lit. It includes a variety of cannons, lasers, anti-air guns, launchers and armor parts, some of which equip to Yuiitsu's legs. One of its notable weapons is a giant anti-special steel chainsaw, with 'Dog's life' on its surface and a golden retriever head logo inscribed on its surface. The unit also has a variety of sensors and other features to assist in aiming and diverting impacts.

Aside from the unit's direct firepower, Yuiitsu also makes use of the heat and shockwaves from the weapons being fired (even without aiming), as well as the camouflage ability derived from the Elements, hiding behind the armor parts to disappear from sight. She also fires her weapons to restrict the movements of her opponents before bringing down the giant chainsaw.

Appearance

 * Organs missing.

Personality

 * Likes AC
 * Looks down on humans (yet admires? a certain aspect)
 * Condemnation

Although Nephthys tends to look down on humans, she does claim to like and be jealous of the passions and movements of the human heart, giving humanity's dream and efforts towards reaching the stars as an example.

Nephthys is a goddess who objects to legends of death which are treated as necessary sacrifices in Egyptian mythology, once weeping and reducing an entire magical faction to ash as they were about to ritually sacrifice a girl in an experiment to prove heaven existed. With her origins as the "crying woman", Nephthys is susceptible to being moved to tears and crying with someone, even from watching an awful drama for less than a minute.

Background
Nephthys's background and origins are largely unclear, as stories and materials concerning her are extremely rare, other than the story of the "weeping goddess" at Osiris's funeral. Even with that story, and one theory that she was artificially created to emphasize it, no one knows anymore if it was truly Nephthys, not even Nephthys herself. However, her divinity is said to have originated from the "crying woman" paid to attend funerals in ancient Egypt, in this case in particular, the thousands of servants buried alive in a pyramid for a pharaoh's burial,  to ensure the king had no trouble in the afterlife. For these buried servants, the end often took its time coming.

In one particular pyramid, in an unknown time and place, as the buried servants were waiting for the end, someone thought that they didn't want their life to have been wasted, and together with the hundreds or thousands of others, collected the pieces of knowledge they had and the papyrus materials buried with the pharaoh for his resurrection together. After it was gathered together, Nephthys was born, surrounded by countless corpses - whether they were the original form which created her or the shell of the egg, not even she knew for sure.

At some point, Nephthys appeared to a man who was weeping at his faction's imminent ritual sacrifice of a girl in an experiment to prove the existence of heaven and his inability to say it was wrong, wishing for someone to stand with him as he lamented. Nephthys told him that his voice had reached her and that she'd also weep with him. Immediately afterwards, she gave a shrill cry that reduced the magical faction to ash in an instant.

At another time, Nephthys observed as Aleister Crowley entered Egypt, like many other European magicians who had reached a dead end and sought out new material to make a breakthrough, and laughed as he incorporated the names of Isis, Osiris and Horus into his concept of Aeons.

After arriving at Touma's apartment, Nephthys explained about Kamisato Kakeru and the World Rejecter, as well as what had happened to the Magic Gods, to Touma, Index and Othinus. Greatly weakened to the point of not being able to support her upper body, she remained sprawled out on the kotatsu during the conversation. With the fridge empty, Nephthys remained at the dormitory with Index while Touma went out to buy ingredients for dinner.

When Touma and Othinus returned with Leivinia Birdway following a run-in with Kamisato Kakeru, the two Magic Gods gave Touma a lecture on European magicians and the Dark Continent while Index carried out an analysis, before Leivinia woke up and explained the situation regarding her and her sister, who had been infested with the parasite Sample Shoggoth. While the group were faced with the threat of an attack, the Birdways' situation and the lack of food, Nephthys fiddled with the TV remote, accidentally bringing up an advert for fried chicken before Touma could warn her. She also ended up crying as they watched an awful drama that was on.

As the Kamisato Faction began their attack on the dormitory, Nephthys went with Index. Not long afterwards, when Sample Shoggoth was eliminated prematurely during Touma and Claire's attempt to save Patricia, Nephthys decided to take action, reckoning that as a god she was not supposed to hope for miracles but cause them. Knowing that Touma would have difficulty accepting her death, Nephthys asked Index to tell him that she was already dead anyway, before flying towards the dying Patricia as a sandstorm. Converting her entire body into replacement fat for the girl, Nephthys sacrificed herself to save Patricia.

Abilities

 * Reconstruct as body matter, animal fats, no risk of rejection. Cease to exist as Nephthys if all converted.
 * Conscious separation?

Chronology, Magic God Invasion Arc
During the High Priest's rampage through Academy City in pursuit of Kamijou Touma, Niang-Niang and Nephthys approached Touma as he and Misaka Mikoto temporarily stopped on a workship. After testing to see if Imagine Breaker could return them to their full power, without success and Niang-Niang turning her Pao-Pei on Mikoto in annoyance, the two offer their assistance to help stop the rampaging High Priest. Though Touma rejects their direct involvement, he and Mikoto reluctantly accept their offer of advice and the two Magic Gods give Touma an explanation regarding the nature of the High Priest before leaving.

After the Arrowhead Comet's destruction and the High Priest's death, Niang-Niang, shocked at something being able to kill a Magic God, intended to wipe out Academy City in order to destroy it. Before she could do so, she was devoured and 'exiled' by Kamisato Kakeru's World Rejector.

Abilities
Niang-Niang is capable of changing her fingertips into weapons, known as Pao-Pei (宝貝(パオペイ).

Rosenthal Family

 * Point for discussing: Did the Rosenthals gain their name before their ancestor was banished from the Rabbinic region (given heads) or after the 5th generation (given the etymology and origin of the name, and that the heads up to the 5th have only been referred to by their given name).

 * Points for discussion: (own + 2 views, 3rd other)(apology for delay)
 * Aspect to discuss - Estelle's ancestors, given how referred - good idea to hold off until certain possibility analyzed and addressed.
 * Chapter 29, three during explanation of Rosenthal Family's 400 year history:

 * Etymology: Rosenthal, German/Jewish origin, "valley of roses"
 * Reasonable assumption that last name Rosenthal. Best to look over possibilities and reasoning before proceeding on it with articles. No oversights.
 * Use reasoning and explain anyway via note in Trivia sections.
 * Isaac and Nathan are described as 4th and 5th head respectively. Someone described as the head of the family will almost certainly bear the family's name as their last name. If they were a head ancestor from a different family line with their name, wouldn't be counted as the head of the latter family. Possibility of both names hyphenated as surname. Patriarchal attitude (possibly throw out the window), name origin and location increase likelihood.
 * Obed, slightly less likely, however still very likely. An ancestor of a family does not necessarily bear the family's name. Name origin (G/J - Rabbis) and location post exile (East), increases likelihood of bearing name. Patriarchal attitude (possibly throw out the window). Likely from a community, possibly moved from sub to main for life/work? Ancestor but not described as a head (chance slightly reduced). Possibly the first.

The Rosenthal Family are a family of necromancers, who sought to create the perfect golem for over 400 years.

Principles
The Rosenthal Family is a line of necromancers who have spent over 400 years developing techniques of creating golems from corpses in order to create the perfect golem.

As opposed to rock dolls only capable of carrying out simple commands, the Rosenthal make use of a method devised by their ancestor Obed, which involves placing an artificial soul into a corpse, allowing them to use a human brain and greatly increasing their intelligence. These techniques were further developed through subsequent generations with the 4th generation head Isaac incorporating the Hopping Zombie Spell into what would become the Rosenthal style, and the 5th generation head Nathan, who created four artificial souls with greatly increased abilities; Taowu, Taotie, Hundun and Qiongqi, capable of producing superhuman strength when their charm was attached to a corpse.


 * Could create true golems, not just rock dolls like that which attacked city before

The greatest desire of the Rosenthal Family is the creation of the perfect golem, one with a perfect soul and a perfect body - a god.

Isaac
Isaac Rosenthal (イサク＝ローゼンタール), usually referred to as Isaac (イサク), is the 4th generation head of the Rosenthal Family, whose soul was implanted into the Rosenthal artificial soul Taowu.
 * 4th generation (4代目)
 * Family head (当主)

Appearance: In his original body, Isaac had light hair and wore a turban and non-Chinese clothes.

Implanted in the Taowu and possessing the naked body of Hishigata Hirumi, Isaac occasionally causes her eyes to change color and have slit-pupils, with cracks on her face.

Personality: Isaac shows little regard for human life, murdering many people in order to use their corpses for his techniques. He takes pride in his creations, referring to them as 'works of art', and was displeased when they were compared to 'mere'. He is focused on the Rosenthal goal of creating the perfect golem and is determined to personally accomplish it regardless of the cost.

Background: Isaac was the 4th generation head of Rosenthal Family, who continued the work of their ancestor and founder Obed, who was banished from his homeland as a heretic for developing a method of creating golems from corpses, ending up in the East. Their greatest desire was the creation of the perfect golem, one with a perfect soul and a perfect body - a god, and Isaac was dedicated to accomplishing this goal.

In China, Isaac combined the Taoist Hopping Zombie Spell with the Rosenthals' Kabbalah-based methods of golem creation, developing what would come to be known as Rosenthal-style Necromancy. Isaac continued to develop his techniques in order to accomplish his goal, killing large numbers of people to use their corpses in his work. He held little hope for his son Nathan accomplishing the goal, despite the eventual 5th generation head's creation of four artificial souls with increased abilities.

At one point, Isaac murdered the Li household, using their corpses for his work. When officials broke into the grounds to investigate, Isaac boasted of his 'works of art' before setting his creations on the officials after they made a comparison to.

Isaac continued his work in order to achieve the Rosenthals' desire in his lifetime, but he ended up succumbing to disease. While he was on his deathbed, before his soul could be lost due to death, Nathan transferred it into the Taowu, imprinting it on its artificial soul. The Rosenthal style would continue to develop over the subsequent 19 generations but their ultimate goal of creating the perfect golem continued to elude them.

After Taowu was activated and possessed Hirumi when 23th generation head Estelle attempted to resurrect her following her death, Isaac was contacted by a self-proclaimed demon, who told him of a way to achieve the Rosenthal Family's desire, using a method derived from how the human soul is said to slowly evolve and reach through the process of experiencing 10000 deaths. By converting the memories of death into a special formula and adding it to the sephiroth constructing the artificial soul, engraving the proof of death into the soul 10000 times, their soul would also reach Keter. The memories of death are normally erased from the physical world at death, however the memories of 10031 deaths were present in Academy City, stored within the Misaka Network.

Manipulating Hishigata and DA through the Taowu-possessed Hirumi, Isaac attempted to obtain the memories of death from the Misaka Network, with Estelle attempting to stop them, unaware that Isaac's will was within the Taowu.

Chronology: Hishigata was eventually able to obtain the memories via Misaka 10046 and had the formula inserted into the Taowu's artificial soul. With Hishigata dying from a stab wound after blocking Estelle from stabbing the charm, the Taowu ceased simulating Hirumi and Isaac revealed himself after Estelle pleaded for the Taowu to stop. He then began creating the 'perfect body' to house the 'perfect soul'. Frustrated when the process took longer than expected, he consumed members of DA in an effort to speed up the process but was overwhelmed by their desire for justice and lost his hold over the Taowu.

Abilities: Isaac made use of the Kabbalistic method of creating golems by placing artificial souls into corpses devised by Obed, and developed it further by incorporating elements of the Taoist Hopping Zombie Spell, forming what would come to be known as Rosenthal-style Necromancy.
 * Golem creation, development of Rosenthal-style Necromancy
 * Taowu

Abilities (to incorporate): As opposed to rock dolls only capable of carrying out simple commands, the Rosenthal make use of a method devised by their ancestor Obed, which involves placing an artificial soul into a corpse, allowing them to use a human brain and greatly increasing their intelligence. These techniques were further developed through subsequent generations with the 4th generation head Isaac incorporating the Hopping Zombie Spell into what would become the Rosenthal style, and the 5th generation head Nathan, who developed artificial souls with greatly increased abilities.

Nathan made use of Rosenthal-style Necromancy, developed by his predecessor Isaac from combining the Kabbalistic method of creating golems by placing artificial souls into corpses devised by Obed, with elements of the Taoist Hopping Zombie Spell. As part of this, Nathan was capable of creating artificial souls, also referred to as false souls (偽りの魄), which are stored in charms with a sephira inscribed on them and inserted into corpses to animate them.

The Rosenthal Family make use of artificial souls, also referred to as false souls (偽りの魄), which are stored in charms and inserted into corpses to animate them. Trivia:
 * It should be noted that Isaac (イサク) has yet to be referred to by his full name in the series, by characters or narrative, only referred to by his given name. However it is presumed that the name used in this article is almost certainly correct, given his position as a member and head of the Rosenthal family.

Emperor Shun's Blade & the Evil Spirits of the Numbers

 * , banished the Four Fiends (Hundun, Qiong Qi, Taotie and Taowu, the Evil Spirits of the Numbers).

<!--Shun (Chinese: 舜; pinyin: Shùn), also known as Emperor Shun (Chinese: 帝舜; pinyin: Dìshùn) and Chonghua (Chinese: 重華; pinyin: Chónghuá), was a legendary leader of ancient China, regarded by some sources as one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Oral tradition holds that he lived sometime between 2294 and 2184 BCE.

Names Shun's ancestral name (姓) is Yao (姚), his clan name (氏) is Youyu (有虞). His given name was Chonghua (重華). Shun is sometimes referred to as the Great Shun (大舜) or as Yu Shun (虞舜). The "Yu" in "Yu Shun" was the name of the fiefdom, which Shun received from Yao; thus, providing him the title of "Shun of Yu"[2]).

Life of Shun According to traditional sources, Shun received the mantle of leadership from Emperor Yao at the age of 53, and then died at the age of 100 years. Before his death Shun is recorded as relinquishing his seat of power to Yu(禹): an event which is supposed to have eventuated in the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. Shun's capital was located in Puban (蒲阪), presently located in Shanxi).

Under Emperor Yao, Shun was appointed successively Minister of Instruction, General Regulator and chief of the Four Peaks, and put all affairs in proper order within three years.[3] Yao was so impressed that he appointed Shun as his successor to the throne. Shun wished to decline in favour of someone more virtuous, but eventually assumed Yao's duties.[3] It was said that "those who had to try a lawsuit did not go to Danzhu, but to Shun." Danzhu was the son of Yao.[4]

After ascending to the throne, Shun offered sacrifices to the god Shang Di (上帝), as well as to the hills, rivers, and the host of spirits (神).[5] Then he toured the eastern, the southern, the western, and the northern parts of the country; in each place he offered burnt-offering to Heaven at each of the four peaks (Mount Tai, Mount Huang, Mount Hua and Mount Heng), sacrificed to the hills and rivers, set in accord the seasons, months, and days, established uniform measurements of length and capacities, and reinforced ceremonial laws.[6]

Shun divided the land into twelve provinces, raising altars upon twelve hills, and deepening the rivers.[7] Shun dealt with four criminals: banishing the Minister of Works to You island, confining Huan-dou on Mount Chong; driving San-Miao into San-Wei, and holding Gun a prisoner till his death on Mount Yu (羽).[8] Yu (禹) was subsequently appointed Minister of Works to govern the water and the land.[9] Later, Shun appointed Yu to be General Regulator (Prime Minister).[9] Yu wished to decline in favour of the Minister of Agriculture, or Xie, or Gao Yao, but finally accepted upon Shun's insistence.[9] Shun then appointed Chui as the new Minister of Works.[10] Shun also appointed Yi as Minister of Animal Husbandry to govern the beasts and trees of the land,[11] Bo-yi as Priest of the Ancestral Temple to perform religious ceremonies,[12] Hui as Director of Music,[13] Long as Minister of Communications to counter deceptions and false reports.[14]

According to the Canon of Shun, Shun began to reign at the age of 30, reigned with Yao for 30 years, and reigned 50 more years after Yao's abdication, then Shun died.[15] The Bamboo Annals state that Yao chose Shun as his heir three years before abdicating the throne to him. Both sources agree that after abdicating, Yao lived for another 28 years in retirement during Shun's reign.

In later centuries, Yao and Shun were glorified for their virtue by Confucian philosophers. Shun was particularly renowned for his modesty and filial piety (xiao 孝).

The name of Shun's mother was Wodeng (握登), and his birthplace was Yaoxu (姚墟).

Legends Legend has it that Shun's birth mother died when Shun was very young. His father was blind and remarried soon after Shun's mother's death. Shun's stepmother then gave birth to Shun's half brother Xiang (象) and a half sister. Shun's stepmother and half brother treated Shun terribly, often forcing Shun to do all the hard work in the family and only giving him the worst food and clothing. Shun's father, being blind and elderly, was often ignorant of Shun's good deeds and always blamed Shun for everything. Yet, despite these conditions, Shun never complained and always treated his father, his stepmother, and his half brother with kindness and respect.

When he was barely an adult, his stepmother threw him out of the house. Shun was forced to live on his own. Yet, because of his compassionate nature and his natural leadership skills, everywhere he went, people followed him, and he was able to organize the people to be kind to each other and do the best they could. When Shun first went to a village that produced pottery, after less than one year, the pottery became more beautiful than they had ever been. When Shun went to a fishing village, the people there were at first fighting amongst themselves over the fishing grounds, and many people were injured or killed in the fights. Shun taught them how to share and allocate the fishing resources, and soon the village was prospering and all hostilities ceased.

When Emperor Yao became old, he became distressed over the fact that his 9 sons were all useless, only knew how to spend their days enjoying themselves with wine and song. Yao asked his administers, the Four Mountains, to propose a suitable successor. Yao then heard of Shun's tales. Wise Yao did not want to simply believe in the tales about Shun, so he decided to test Shun. Yao gave a district to Shun to govern and married his two daughters to him, with a small dowry of a new house and some money.

Though given an office and money, Shun still lived humbly. He continued to work in the fields every day. Shun even managed to convince his two brides, the two princesses, Yao's daughters, named Ehuang (Fairy Radiance) and Nüying (Maiden Bloom),[16] who were used to good living, to live humbly and work along the people. However, Shun's stepmother and half brother became extremely jealous and conspired to kill Shun. Once, Shun's half brother Xiang lit a barn on fire, and convinced Shun to climb onto the roof to put the fire out, but then Xiang took away the ladder, trapping Shun on the burning roof. Shun skilfully made a parachute out of his hat and cloth and jumped down in safety. Another time, Xiang and his mother conspired to get Shun drunk and then throw him into a dried-up well and then bury him with rocks and dirt. Shun's half sister, never approving of her mother and brother's schemes, told Shun's wives about the scheme. Shun thus prepared himself. Shun pretended to get drunk, and when he was thrown into the well, he had already a tunnel pre-dug to escape to the surface. Thus, Shun survived many attempts on his life. Yet, he never blamed his stepmother or his half brother, and forgave them every time.

Eventually, Shun's stepmother and half brother repented their past wrongs. Shun wholeheartedly forgave them both, and even helped Xiang get an office. Shun also managed to influence Emperor Yao's 9 worthless sons into becoming useful contributing members of society.

Emperor Yao was very impressed by all of Shun's achievements, and thus chose Shun as his successor and put him on the throne in the year of Jiwei (己未). Yao's capital was in Ji (冀) which in modern times is also in Shanxi province.

Shun is also renowned as the originator of the music called Dashao (大韶), a symphony of nine Chinese musical instruments.

In the last year of Shun's reign, Shun decided to tour the country. But unfortunately, he died suddenly of an illness on the journey near the Xiang River. Both his wives rushed from home to his body, and wept by the river for days. Their tears turned into blood and stained the reeds by the river. From that day on, the bamboo of that region became red-spotted, which explains the origin of spotted bamboo. Then overcome by grief, both women threw themselves into the river and drowned.

Shun considered his son, Shangjun (商均), as unworthy and picked Yu, the tamer of floods, as his heir.

Shun was asserted as the progenitor of the Hồ dynasty by Hồ Quý Ly.[17][18][19] China's province of Zhejiang around the 940s was the origin of the Chinese Hồ/Hú family.-->

Taowu incident at Seiin High School
The Taowu incident at Seiin High School was an attempt by the Taowu to achieve the Rosenthal family's desire to create the 'perfect golem', using the memories of death stored within the Misaka Network to transform itself. The event occurred at Seiin High School, which the Taowu's host Hirumi used to attend when she was still alive.

Principles
Taowu: Among the artificial souls used by the Rosenthal are four with greatly increased abilities which were created by the 5th generation head Nathan; Taowu (檮杌), Taotie (饕餮), Hundun (混沌) and Qiong Qi (窮奇). These four, sometimes referred to as Evil Spirits of Numbers (ナンバーズの悪霊), are capable of producing superhuman strength when their charm is attached to a corpse.

The artificial soul, also referred to as a false soul (偽りの魄), is contained within a paper charm, which has several inscriptions on them, including a sephiroth which is a key part of the artificial soul.
 * Installation
 * Capabilities
 * Keter/LV6

Memories of Death: After the Taowu was activated by Estelle Rosenthal in an attempt to revive her friend Hirumi, it was contacted by a self-proclaimed demon who conveyed a method with which it could achieve the Rosenthal family's desire. This method is derived from how the human soul is said to slowly evolve and reach through the process of experiencing 10000 deaths. By converting the memories of death (死の記憶) into a special formula and adding it to the sephiroth constructing the artificial soul, engraving the proof of death into the soul 10000 times, their soul would also reach Keter. The memories of death are normally erased from the physical world at death, however the memories of 10031 deaths are present in Academy City, stored within the Misaka Network.

Posing as Hirumi, the Taowu presented this plan to Hishigata in the guise of making Hirumi into a Level 6,  leading on from his research into discovering where esper abilities originated from within the body and reinforcing the body to enhance esper abilities, in order to create the perfect esper.

Transformation: After the memories of death were converted into a formula and integrated into the Taowu, it went about constructing the 'perfect body' in order to contain the 'perfect soul'. During the initial stage of the transformations, wire-like appendages expanded across the school grounds, with a large mass in close proximity to the Taowu's host body, Hirumi. These wires could form copies of Hirumi.

During the next stage of the transformation, a massive image of the Tree of Life formed over Seiin High School. The Keter Sephirot opened up and connected to Hirumi's body, who was floating in front of it in a fetal position (orb?), via a cord. A cocoon-like structure then formed around Hirumi's body, connected to a large, bulbous mass on the ground with multiple tendrils and protrusions. Not long afterwards, the cocoon cracked open and a mass began expanding from it, forming a giant, long, grotesque body with many protrusions wriggling from it. Several sets of wings also formed, some more ragged than others. Hirumi's original body protruded from a hole in the upper part of the body, partially engulfed by it, and a halo formed over Hirumi's head.


 * Even if rest of body blown away, would regenerate if charm not dealt with.
 * Plan to deal with artificial soul using Emperor Shun's Blade, needs to touch the charm.

Chronology
As the transformation was progressing, the Taowu consumed some of the DA members nearby in an attempt to speed up it's growth and unexpectedly found its mind being flooded with the DA members' thoughts of bringing 'justice' to city.

SYSTEM
Current text:

SYSTEM (システム) is the main goal of Academy City's research, defined as "Those who are not deities that reach the sense of the heavens" (神ならぬ身にて天上の意思に辿り着くもの), it is the core of Aleister Crowley's plan, as well as many research organizations in the city.

Level 6 (<rb>絶対能力者</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>レベル6</rt><rp>) </rp>) is used as an interchangeable term for it, which can refer to an esper that has surpassed Level 5 and has reached SYSTEM or for SYSTEM itself.

Principles: The concept has been referred to since the beginning of the series with Misaka Mikoto referring to the struggle of the city trying to find a body that exceeds humans and can do God's calculations. SYSTEM is first referred to in name by Tsukuyomi Komoe while explaining what esper development is to Index and Himegami Aisa.

Both Tsukuyomi Komoe and Kihara Gensei, state that the goal of SYSTEM is to understand the will of the heavens, and to achieve it is to find a human that surpasses humanity. The city is dedicated into finding this, the most logical way is to have a Level 5 actually achieve Level 6, most specifically Accelerator. However, there are probably other methods of achieving it, such as with the case of Haruue Erii and the Crystallized Esper Essence.

According to Mugino Shizuri, Level 5 rankings are based on the importance of the Level 5 on the research of achieving SYSTEM.

The apparent reason why SYSTEM is trying to be achieved, is to gain the knowledge regarding the truth of the world, something that many a man of countless immemorial eons have tried to gain, even on the magic side.

Experiment:

As stated the purpose of Academy City was to create a Level 6, and most likely several experiments have been undergone to achieve it.

One of the most notable experiment in achieving a Level 6 was the Level 6 Shift, an experiment supported by Tree Diagram and is centered around Accelerator. The goal of the project was for Accelerator to kill specially prepared 20,000 Misaka Mikoto clones, in order to achieve SYSTEM. The plan fails as Kamijou Touma intervenes with the 10032nd experiment and defeating Accelerator.

The experiment was later revealed to have been planned to fail even without Touma's intervention, as it gave a Aleister Crowley an excuse to distribute the clones all over the world for "readjustments", although in truth, it was created in order for the clones to cover the globe with AIM which are dispersed by espers, namely the clones. Moreover, it is to create an Imaginary Number District-like realm, an Artificial Heaven into the world, which when activated by Aleister Crowley, completely disrupts a magician's ability to use magic, and severely injuring them, although it is unknown what the true extent of a perfected realm's effects on magicians is.

Similarities to magic concepts: Kabbalah:

After Komoe explains SYSTEM to Index, she shuddered in fright, as the concept of SYSTEM sounds close to the Kabbalah of the Magic side, where the heavens are not described on the Tree of Life – Sephiroth – though other areas like humans and angels are clearly stated. Wherein the positions of humans, angels and god are divided into 10 levels, and upon that tree, the position of God could not be found. As such, humans could not understand the territory of God.

According to the narrative, there was stated that a religious system to achieve understanding of God's territory. The concept is called, which stated if humans can't understand then all they have to do is obtain a body that's beyond humanity. They claimed that humans are but immature gods that can reach ascension and God's power with enough training, which even the Apostle John sees as blasphemous.

Alchemy: Himegami Aisa thought of Aureolus Izzard's "Ars Magna" - whose principle behind it is "to purify the murky, lead-like soul of a human into a pure golden soul of an angel". It also occurred to her that it's strange how Academy City, a force that's completely opposite to religion arrived at the same answer. It could be that whatever path humans take they would arrive at the same answer, or maybe there's something else behind all this.

Level 6 Shift
Current text:

Level 6 Shift (<rb>絶対能力者進化</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>レベル6シフト</rt><rp>) </rp>) is a term used to refer to the event where an esper "shifts" into a Level 6.

Many attempts have been made throughout the series to create a Level 6, though only the Level 6 Shift Project has been sanctioned by Academy City. Despite all these efforts, there have still no successful attempts at creating a Level 6 esper.

List of known Level 6 Shift attempts:
 * Ability Body Crystal Project: Kihara Gensei's attempt at achieving Level 6. Using the crystallized esper essence of overloaded espers on a chosen esper, Gensei theorized that one can attain a Level 6. Exposing the crystal to overloaded espers with the same ability, and to another esper who has the same ability and can achieve higher levels of power when exposed to certain factors, one can cause an AIM Diffusion Field Resonance thereby causing the resonance to power-up the esper, allowing the achievement of a Level 6. It was later abandoned by Gensei, though her granddaughter, Therestina Kihara Lifeline tried to continue the experiment. She was foiled by Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, Uiharu Kazari, and Saten Ruiko.
 * Level 6 Shift Project: Gensei changed tactics and became a major proponent of the Level 6 Shift of Accelerator. According to Tree Diagram, only Accelerator can achieve Level 6. As such, it was later calculated that Accelerator can achieve Level 6 if he kills clones of Misaka Mikoto, known as Sisters, 20,000 times in battle, then he may be able to achieve Level 6. It was later foiled by Kamijou Touma, Misaka Mikoto, and the Sisters themselves, helping Touma defeat Accelerator and making Tree Diagram's calculations that Accelerator is the strongest esper look erroneous.
 * Level 6 Shift attempt on Misaka Mikoto: Gensei once again attempted to create a Level 6, this time using Misaka Mikoto, though an unstable one unlike Accelerator. After a series of ruses and gambits, Gensei took over Shokuhou Misaki's Exterior, and invaded the Misaka Network via Misaka 10032 using Exterior, forcibly connecting the Misaka Network with Misaka Mikoto. Gensei was foiled by the combined efforts of Misaki (destroying her Exterior in the process, preventing Misaka Mikoto from continuously being connected to the Network), Sogiita Gunha, and Kamijou Touma, finally ending Gensei's quest to create a Level 6.
 * Level 6 Shift attempt on Hirumi: Isaac Rosenthal, an ancient spirit from the Rosenthal Family, a family that has tried to create the perfect golem, also known as God, or in science side terms: Level 6. He takes over the body of Hirumi after she was resurrected by Estelle Rosenthal using the spirit Taowu. He is later instructed by a self-proclaimed demon, that to create the perfect golem, a god, a soul will evolve slowly after it dies 10,000 times. Under the control of Hirumi's body, he manipulates her brother, Hishigata for this end: to create the perfect body and the perfect brain to create the perfect esper, a level 6. Hishigata later attains Misaka 10046, and takes from her the data needed to complete their formula as the Sister clones have experienced 10,031 deaths at the hands of Accelerator. Using Hirumi's body, Isaac inputs the formula into her body, making her body transform into a huge grotesque form.

Academy City Level 6 Experiments
Current text:

Academy City Level 6 Experiments is a collective term used to refer to the various experiments being conducted by Academy City in an effort to achieve Level 6 or SYSTEM. Both in Toaru Majutsu no Index and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, there are mentions of scientists in Academy City who work in the development of the first Level 6 esper, one whose abilities are supposedly equivalent to "Absolute Power".

All known attempts of achieving Level 6 has a member of the Kihara Family involved somehow.

Principles: Several factions and organizations are after the title of being the first to create a Level 6 esper, and as such, more often than not they are rivals and results in sabotaging each others work. Though many experiments are kept in secret, due to the highly sensitive and illegal nature performed in some experiments, others are allowed by the Academy City Board of Directors, regardless of any moral implications, the illegality of the experiments, or the breaking of international treaties.

The Level 6 Shift Project:

With Kihara Gensei as the main proponent, the Level 6 Shift Project is an experiment designed for Accelerator - Academy City's strongest esper - to achieve Level 6. By killing Misaka Mikoto, the Railgun, 128 times in combat, then Accelerator would be able to achieve Level 6. However, since 128 Railguns could not be prepared then, according to Tree Diagram, 20,000 clones of Mikoto that are taken from the Sisters Project, can be used as a substitute and it would similarly lead to Accelerator becoming Level 6.

The experiment was apparently allowed by the Board of Directors, since Academy City is always under surveillance and the experiment were being conducted on the outside, though no security alerts were triggered during such experiments.

Ability Body Crystal Experiments:

Created by Kihara Gensei, the crystal in question was extracted from the essences of overloaded espers; Therestina Kihara Lifeline, Gensei's granddaughter, was used as the 'First Sample', extracting her essences to form the crystal. The exposure of the crystal to certain espers that display greater powers than their levels implies that under certain conditions it can create a Level 6.

Through the years, Gensei tried to refine the crystal and its effects; in one notable experiment, Gensei exposed the crystal to Kiyama Harumi's students to gather data, overloading the children and forcing them in a comatose state.

Therestina continued her grandfather's research on the crystal and nearly succeeded in the creation of a Level 6, even though she was in truth destinated to fail as the Tree Diagram had given hopeless response, and the apparent destruction of the city, if it not for the efforts of Misaka Mikoto and her comrades.

Level 6 Shift attempt on Misaka Mikoto:

Kihara Gensei once again attempts to create a Level 6, this time setting his eyes on the Misaka Mikoto and pouring the power of the Misaka Network into her as a vessel. The experiment failed after the destruction of Shokuhou Misaki's Exterior, through the combined efforts of her, Shirai Kuroko, Kamijou Touma, and Sogiita Gunha.

Arc Article

 * Background:
 * Kamisato Faction and Kihara Yuiitsu
 * Large Heatwave (conditions in AC)
 * Chronology:
 * A Certain Middle-High School (December 8th?)
 * Tokiwadai (December 9th?)
 * Kamisato Faction (December 10th?)

After initial contact with the Elements, the Kamisato Faction performed experiments on captured subjects and determined that their activity was lowered in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. Following this finding, Fran used a homemade station to flood Academy City in microwaves, creating an artificial heat wave with temperatures exceeding 55 degrees Celsius.

Large Heatwave
Large Heatwave ((大熱波):
 * Alternative titles: Academy City December Heatwave, December Heatwave, Large Heatwave
 * 3 days after Kamisato's disappearance (December 7th - 9th), abnormal 'weather' in Academy City
 * Temperatures exceeding 55 degrees Celsius
 * Asphalt starting to melt, urban infrastructure stopped, electricity, gas and water life-lines interrupted
 * Electronics and network wiped out, contact lost.
 * Residents under siege in building due to Elements.
 * Soon suffer from heat stroke if not in swimsuit
 * Water supply interrupted so require careful consumption of food/water, forced to carry out water hunts (水狩(みずがり)).
 * Touma and others using tightrope (綱渡り)/glider to move.
 * Tokiwadai - detecting underground water vein/combining abilities, relatively stable.
 * Mikoto explains, cause not weather but microwaves from space being focused on AC, turning it into huge oven. Ability can deflect but inefficient so focusing on AAA.
 * Caused by Fran on Kamisato Faction's behalf to surpress the activity of Elements.
 * Tendency for Elements to lurk in cool, dark places and more active at night.
 * Home-made space station, focusing microwaves onto AC, greatly diminishing activity time and range of Elements in city.
 * If not, Elements would be 50 to 60 times more active and AC would have fallen in half a day apparently.
 * After confronting Kihara Yuiitsu and the Elements' role end, no further need for heat wave.

A Certain Middle-High School
Ch1Pt1
 * Located near ACMHS on District 7's southern end, no use with power out, professional water purification equipment, culture medium for tank of organic microbes which consume bacteria, special sort of mud, make short work of resistant bacteria.
 * Tests with tube/microscope, eat bacteria, chlorine, boiling and filter for good measure, drink pool water.
 * Need quite a bit to cover entire 50m pool.
 * Set up as heroes, water hunt.
 * Half a day to set up routes, different options in case of unexpected, look into specs of microbes.

School District 7 Water Department
The School District 7 Water Department (第七学区 水道局) is a facility responsible for managing the water supply to School District 7.

Principles: The water department is located in the southern end of District 7, not too far from A Certain Middle-High School. The facility is comprised of two main buildings, one fenced-in, flat roofed, concrete building and a smooth, rectangular roofed, high-rise building, containing several septic tanks stacked vertically. A reinforced concrete pathway surrounded by glass connects the two buildings.

The high-rise building contains water purification equipment, with vertically stacked water tanks containing culture mediums for water purification microbes (浄水微生物) which consume bacteria. An example of the areas present in the high-rise building, visited by Kamijou Touma's group during the heat wave, comprised of a floor with no internal, dividing walls, with the majority of the space taken up by a large square hole opening onto a tank 40m long, 40m wide and 5m deep. Normally filled with water, they also contain mud at the bottom of the tank acts as the culture medium for the water purification microbes. A metal ladder is fitted to the wall of the tank for maintenance work.

 * Rooftop door locked, metal lock, cool air drift out (might be above 40, but still cooler than 55 degrees)
 * Hallway floor unnaturally damp, heat melted easily melted parts of sprinkler system, checked water storage tanks on roofs as travelling across buildings, system meant to prevent buildings burning down - not preserving water.
 * Two buildings, flat/tall. Microbes in purification building with vertically stacked tanks.
 * No internal walls dividing floor, large square hole taking up entire area of building, 5m deep, 40m long/wide, like pool with water removed, some puddles, uneven distribution with layer of brown mud, culture medium, metal ladder for maintenance on wall (cool), ankle-deep even in parts looking dry (mud still alive, heavier than water).
 * Spider's thread dangling into hell - reference
 * Passageway to other building, glass surrounding it, made of reinforced concrete (escaped to flat by time destroyed).

Chronology, Element Arc:
 * TSP
 * Early in the morning of December 8th, in the middle of the abnormal heat wave and Elements' assault on the city, a party comprised of students from A Certain High School made their way to the water department in hopes of obtaining some of the water purification microbes used there, in order to purify the pool at A Certain Middle-High School and solve their water shortage problems. After using a glider and updrafts from the heat to access the roof of the flat building, they made their way to the purification building.
 * After finding that the cultivation medium was still alive, they managed to acquire some of the cultivation mud remaining in the nearly empty tank. On the way back however, the group came under attack from the Elements, whom they'd forgotten preferred cool, dark places. During the attack, Kamijou Touma was separated from his classmates, who managed to escape across the passageway to the flat building before a high-pressure water jet destroyed it. Shortly afterwards, the Elements in the facility were decimated by Misaka Mikoto using her newly acquired Anti-Art Attachment.

Element
(Image: Kamijou Touma facing a Class 1 (Flower Mantis) Element)

An Element (エレメント) is a type of artificial lifeform which swarmed Academy City during an abnormal December heatwave.

Etymology
(Four elements)

Principles
A hybrid of science and magic, Elements are a reduced life form (還元生命).

Elements have a large translucent crystal body and take the form of an animal or plant, often one specializing in mimicry. The Elements themselves also specialize in, being capable of blending in with their surroundings. The internal structures of the Element are apparently inefficient copies of those of regular living creatures, made from a carbon base and with a high specific gravity.

The Elements are driven by a magic-based core in the center of their body, shaped like a, which indicates the type of power it can use. The colors and powers of the cores correspond to the four elements; fire (red), water (blue), wind (yellow) and earth (green). Some variants are noted to be more common than others, with fire being common and wind rare. Common powers utilized by the Elements through these cores include:
 * Fire: A stream of fire with the thickness of heavy oil.
 * Water: A ultra-high pressure water jet which cuts like a laser.
 * Wind
 * Earth

Elements are also classed according to their size, with the minimumaverage size of each class being twice the minimum of the previous class; Class 1 being 3m, Class 2 being 6m, Class 3 being 12m and Class 4, initially assumed to be the largest, being 24m. The largest Elements seen are Class 6, which can measure over 100m.

Though their structures might be based off regular creatures, Elements can continue to move even after sustaining damage which would kill a normal creature. However if their core is destroyed, the Element will cease functioning and fall apart at the joints. Driven by supernatural power, the Elements are vulnerable to Imagine Breaker. One touch to the body will destroy the core, though it won't completely destroy the body itself.

The Elements can follow commands(Ch2Pt9) and are apparently capable of emitting killing intent unlike machines,(Ch2Pt8) but lack the intelligence to carry out certain tasks; while they can climb stairs and break down doors and windows, they can't open locks, turn doorknobs or use ladders and ropes.(Ch1)

Though possessing considerable strength due to their size, camouflage and elemental powers, Elements have a number of weaknesses. The activity of Elements is reduced in temperatures exceeding 42 degrees Celsius, which greatly limited their movements during the 55 degree heatwave, restricting them to cool, dark places during the day.

Unsorted Information
Chapters 1 & 2:
 * No organs to receive power from microwaves (Ch2Pt5)
 * Airbag (Ch2Pt7)
 * Generally confined to ground, difficulty with elevated areas, exceptions such as laser-like water cutter (Ch2Pt7?)
 * Smell of cooking doesn't attract(Ch1Pt?)
 * Corpse analysis - high specific gravity, shouldn't float back up in ocean water (Ch2Pt9)

Chapter 3:
 * Reduced lifeform : Remains of animals/plants turn into petroleum over long periods of time, possible to reverse process and differentiate petroleum into animal/plant, possibly class as heretical science doing exact opposite of stem cells, movable direction of joints and muscle extension follow set rules borrowed from existing creatures - not difficult to read movable range and safe zones once know trick.
 * Core using magical element at most basic level, reduced life form method only creates outward forms - not at level of creating soul or life. Simple combination, should have disguised light as pointing out in advance.
 * Hybrid of magic and science (Ch3Pt6)
 * 50 or 60 times momentum if not restricted by heat wave (half a day fall)
 * Class 0, smallest Element. Rice-sized object with small wings, six legs and stinger, acting to gather information for Yuiitsu while hiding in the microwave filled city.
 * Speculation: Return after gather data, touch feelers to relay, speaking with wings like cicada - transmission medium ultrasonic waves, not disturbed by microwaves but not travelling far?
 * At top of wind turbine, small translucent icicle length of two pens, like a mini Crystal Tower, resembles cellphone relay antennae seen around city.
 * Kamisato: Class 0 gather info, oscillate to transmit with ultrasonic waves to base station, station picks up signals for area and transmits to Yuiitsu. Need to look at base of antennae - if countermeasure against microwaves and isn't ultrasonic waves then wire - underground wire network of Element nerves to guide info back to Yuiitsu's hideout.
 * Class 6, Fire, plesiosaur-like silhouette,, Hawaiian inchworm, moth larva, original less than 5cm, less than 0.1 seconds to extend 'neck', multiple in Ch3, scatter flames sticky as heavy oil.
 * Slip on rust-proofing spray, plesiosaur-like shape, centre of gravity located quite high up, wind from collapse capable of knocking over a few buildings. Heavy, easier for own weight to be used against them. Useless if slip. Synthetic rope and weights, swung and ends thrown at neck and leg, rope catches on leg, head torn off, too big for human - help from Elements' size/force,50 times human size, rope thick as thumb thin/sturdy as piano wire to them, application of force to cut down.
 * Can create blind spots/restrict movements.
 * Class Unknown,, plastic sheets with instant glue on surface, tossed in air towards wings, butterfly/moth wings create unique whirling air current, know to create lift on plane/helicopter level but scaled down, hone in optimal form through natural selection not allowing slightest error, sheets creates bumps disturbing air flow along wings, lift not maintain, tailspin into mantises.
 * Precision attacks, cracks spreading and growing.
 * Clear bottle of boiled down, concentrated industrial cleaner, break on leg of Class 6, chemical smoke/sizzle, organic carbon-based bodies - corrode like normal from hydrochloric/sulphuric acid, leg damage 1/100 of body but supporting large body (like pin heel breaking), lost balance/collapse.
 * Less active in environment above 42 degrees Celsius, determined from Ellen's analysis.

 * Threat combination with heat wave.
 * Flower Mantis (ハナカマキリ, Hanakamikiri)
 * Will-o'-the-wisp (人魂, Hitodama)

Crystal Tower
The Crystal Tower (水晶の塔) is a structure which appeared in the center of School District 7, acting to guide the Elements descending into Academy City from space. Breaking through from below a domed stadium, the tower was 200m tall and 30m thick at its base, thickness reducing further up the tower like an inverted icicle. The tower resembled the Elements when seen from a distance.

Elements entered Academy City by dropping down from space at night when few were looking. In order to achieve a pinpoint landing on Academy City, as well as an angle of entry such that they won't be deflected outward or burn up in the atmosphere, they required guidance from the surface. The Crystal Tower carried out this function by intermittently sending up an optical signal into space from the center of the city.

With a structure similar to that of the Elements, the Crystal Tower was vulnerable to Imagine Breaker and began to collapse on touch.

The true function of the Crystal Tower however was actually as a decoy to draw out and identify potential threats, as well as a trigger for a counterattack. While the enemy's attention was focused on the conspicuous tower and space-drop, their base of operations would be tracked and then destroyed by a coordinated attack to cut off their supply line before moving in to finish them off.

Background
Following her initial acquisition of the World Rejecter on December 6th, Kihara Yuiitsu unleashed the Elements in order to draw out Kamisato Kakeru and his faction. After Ellen's research determined a weakness, Fran flooded Academy City with microwaves, bringing about a 55C heatwave which limited the Elements' activities.
 * When were they created, was it just Yuiitsu who made them?

Chronology, Element Arc

 * December 7th:
 * December 8th:
 * The attack on the crystal tower
 * Following the destruction of the first four Class 6 Elements, six more entered the atmosphere. While Mikoto targeted the descending Elements with the A.A.A., Touma made a dash for the tower, ultimately succeeding in bringing it down. Three of the Class 6s were destroyed in mid-air while the remainder, with no tower to guide them in, were swept away by the atmosphere and landed in the Pacific.
 * While the Crystal Tower was being attacked, Yuiitsu led a coordinated force of Elements in an assault on School Garden, devastating Tokiwadai Middle School, with particular focus on the hangar for Mikoto's Anti-Art Attachment.
 * December 9th:

Temporary Summary Placeholder: Following her initial acquisition of the World Rejecter on December 5th, Kihara Yuiitsu unleashed the Elements in order to draw out Kamisato Kakeru and the Kamisato Faction. In order to slow the Elements down, Fran caused a 55 degree heatwave in the city, restricting their movements. For the next few days, the residents of the city suffered due to both the Elements and the heatwave, with only a few groups and individuals fighting against them.(Ch1,2,3) When Kakeru and his faction eventually confronted Yuiitsu, she cannibalized the remaining Elements for her own version of the Anti-Art Attachment.(Ch4)
