Etymology
The term Majin can be translated in several ways, including 'Magic God' and 'Demon God'. As described in the narrative, and by characters such as Silvia, in this case 'Majin' doesn't refer to a god of the demon world but to one who has mastered magic to the extent of transcending normal magic and stepping into the realm of god, a Magic God.

Trivia

Impact
Due to the immense power held by Magic Gods, they comprise the majority of the Magic Side's power despite being a numerical minority compared to the rest of the world's magicians. As a result, their dreams and desires, both conscious and unconscious, have a much larger effect in the creation of powers born from the dreams and wishes of the world's magicians, such as Imagine Breaker and World Rejecter.

(Distortions from any actions)

Slight concern over this problem was the reason why Gremlin wished to obtain a scorer in order to help regulate the distortions and give them peace of mind.

Weaknesses
Weaknesses: Fairy spell, Imagine Breaker/World Rejecter crystals, Others, Too powerful
 * Though extremely powerful, Magic Gods are not absolute - there are ways to defeat them other than through another Magic God.
 * The Fairy spell spell devised by Ollerus for use against Othinus, based on Christianity's tendency to reduce pagan gods into fairies and demons, is capable of threatening a Magic God's life, is capable of reducing Magic Gods in a similar way, severely damaging them in the process. After being impaled with the stake Ollerus lost his Magic God powers and was left weaker than a normal magician, and in the case of Othinus, although she was at first able to use it to unify her possibilities in a negative direction, after the loss of Gungnir, the internal destruction proceeded to threaten her life.
 * Aleister Crowley possesses techniques that allow him to channel his willpower, one full of hate for the Magic Gods, into a strange form which is capable of killing them. Using the Anti-Art Attachment, Kihara Noukan was also capable of delivering Aleister's willpower. After obtaining their base parameters and defeating Zombie, he was able to weaken them by switching out Zombie's spell they were using to enter the world safely and implanting one of his own to significantly weaken them.
 * Due to their nature, Magic Gods are extremely vulnerable to World Rejecter.

Basic
A Majin (魔神) or Magic God is a Magic side term used to refer to a being who has mastered magic, can bend all things in the world without exception through magic, something that transcends normal magic and steps into the realm of God, a Magic God.

Encompassing every possibility, a Majin is capable of distorting the world to their whim. However due to encompassing every possibility, both positive and negative, Majins initially have an equal chance of success and failure with their magic. Impure or failed Majins who've stopped their growth before this point lack this problem but don't have the power that a pure Majin would have. Once these possibilities are united in one direction however, a Majin can freely change the world and everything in it as they please with their power.

Being in a position with the title of god, those possessing the qualities of a Majin, such as Othinus and Ollerus, are unaffected by certain spells which would affect humans, such as the Einherjar spell, while certain other spells, such as the "Turn into a fairy" spell, are specifically designed to target them. In the case of Othinus, a pure and perfect Majin, they have also been shown to possess lifespans far beyond that of humans.

Due to the rise, spread, change and decline of various religions around the world, various gods from one religion or traits associated with them are often assimilated into other religions. In some cases, such as with the spread of Christianity, pagan gods of old may be reclassified and reduced to the role of fairies or demons.

Gods are the subject of worship by religion, and receive prayer, offerings and dedications from the followers of those religions. In most religions and mythologies, humankind cannot defeat gods, but instead they may attempt to negotiate with them through offerings, prayers and the like to overcome difficult situations and slightly alter their path to something closer to what is most convenient for them.

Progressing down to the path of Magic to the extent of becoming a perfect Majin, or Magic God, appears to allow one to acquire a certain form of immortality. Othinus is believed to have lived for thousands of years and while in a perfect state, was able to withstand and recover from most injuries. Even weakened by Aleister's spell, the High Priest displayed similar invulnerability during his rampage through Academy City.

Though immortals cannot normally be killed through ordinary means, there are some special means which are specifically meant to kill immortals.

The spell that Aleister Crowley inserted into the High Priest, Nephthys and Niang-Niang is implied to be capable of bringing them to their deaths, and Kihara Noukan, using the Anti-Art Attachment connected to Aleister and delivering his willpower, was later able to kill the High Priest.

Lifespan extending over thousands of years, able to withstand and recover from most injuries in perfected state.

Impact
According to Silvia, the power of a Majin is even more troublesome than a great number of grimoires. With such an interesting prospect, many magic organizations, seek and fear the Majin.

Though the Magic Gods of Gremlin are not interested in humanity and the outside world, being interested in living happily hidden by themselves, they have a slight concern about the distortions caused by their existence. Regardless of whether they peacefully talk or exchange blows over issues and clashes of opinion, or do nothing at all, their actions can unintentionally influence the outside world and bend the rails of destiny. They are also areas where even they are unsure what to do.

In order to address this slight concern and give themselves a piece of mind, Gremlin wished to obtain a "scorer" (採点者) - someone who would give them a singular set of values and definite directional focus. The scorer would negotiate with them and give them answers from the perspective of one in the outside world, allowing them to score and regulate their power and the distortions it creates. In exchange for giving them piece of mind, they would grant their scorer's wishes and prayers, allowing the scorer to indirectly mimic being a Magic God and influence the world.

The High Priest likened the idea of a scorer to that of security software giving them a 'no threats found' message, a tool that a god uses to judge if their actions are right, similar to Mimir's Head or the Scales of Anubis, a sheath to hold the sword of the Magic God's power, or a seventh path and category separate from the Six Paths.

The individual whom Gremlin intended to be their scorer was Kamijou Touma, bearer of the Imagine Breaker.

50/50
Being a Majin is akin to being the purest, most perfect existence that encompasses every possibility. However, because of this, the Majin can also control both positive and negative possibilities. In essence, the Majin has an equal chance of attaining the possibility of succeeding as well as failing, making everything relating to the Majin's magic a 50/50 shot. This comes from the principle of the, which asks "if an omnipotent being can do anything, can it deny itself?"; i.e: could an omnipotent being create a rock it can't lift?

LV6 Comparison
Moreover, this state in which a Majin steps into a realm of God, is compared to the Science Side's Level 6 by Kamijou Touma, a comparison that is not wholly farfetched as Level 6 requires a person to attain a body that can allow the person to understand the will of the heavens.

Failed Majin
There is also the possibility of being an impure Majin, meaning that the magician seeking to become a Majin stops his growth right when he should have become one. Because of that, the impure Majin's overall powers are weaker, but there is no 50/50 restriction like a pure Majin.

In Toaru Majutsu no Index, Magic Gods are referenced numerous times, however no pure Magic Gods appear in-person.

In Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, pure Magic Gods appear for the first time, starting with Othinus, the leader of GREMLIN, and eventually leading to the reveal of the true Gremlin, an organization made up of Magic Gods.

Methods and Research
Progressing down to the path of Magic to the extent of becoming a perfect Majin, or Magic God, appears to allow one to acquire a certain form of immortality. Othinus is believed to have lived for thousands of years and while in a perfect state, was able to withstand and recover from most injuries.

Methods of killing immortals
Though immortals cannot normally be killed through ordinary means, there are some special means which are specifically meant to kill immortals.

According to Othinus, in order to become a Majin, a magician has to master a path of magic until they reach the very end, so there can be multiple Majins who each have mastered a different path like Norse Mythology, Buddhism, Greek Mythology, etc. Additionally, to become a Majin a magician needs to perform a special ritual. The details of the ritual are unclear and appear to vary from Majin to Majin, but they apparently require the magician to kill themselves or die in some way, as Othinus had to hang herself as part of her ritual, the High Priest became a Majin through self-mummification and the people that made Nephthys died to create her. Additionally, Leivinia Birdway mentioned that as Majin, Othinus and Nephthys had to have been willing to kill themselves for their ceremony.

Majins

 * Othinus is the one who later attained the legendary title of Majin from Ollerus, which Ollerus proclaims to have been stolen from him, making her one of the most powerful beings in the Toaru Majutsu no Index storyline. It is later revealed she had been a Majin a long time ago before she relinquished her powers. After finally unifying her infinite possibilities, she uses her powers to call upon Gungnir and destroy the world. . After the events of Volume 10 of New Testament, Othinus has lost practically the totality of her powers and now is about 15cm tall..
 * All members of Gremlin:
 * High Priest, a Japanese Buddhist mummy who became a Majin after his to become a  in a single generation was sabotaged.
 * Nephthys, an Egyptian mummy born of thousands of servants buried together with the pharaoh pooling together all the pieces of knowledge they possessed and they could find in the pyramid.
 * Niang-Niang, a Chinese.
 * Zombie
 * Chimera
 * Nuada, a man with a silver prosthetic arm.
 * Proserpina
 * Tezcatlipoca
 * Other unnamed members.

Candidates

 * Index is the first character mentioned of being capable of being a Majin, with her having the 103,000 grimoires and is apparently immune to their poisonous nature. However, out of fear of having Index rebel and becoming a Majin, the Church has made provisions to disable her from using any spell by cutting off her mana. However, Index can still display some of the potential of a Majin's power when her John's Pen mode is activated, here, she shows tremendous power and can apparently use any spell from the grimoires, although her full potential have yet to be seen due to John's Pen Mode's restrictive thought process, and appears only in certain conditions, such as when John's Pen Mode's remote control is used.


 * Ollerus is the person that was supposed to have been closest in becoming a Majin that comes only once in 10,000 years but had let it slip through his fingers, when trying to save a kitten. Ollerus wields incredible power enough for him to be wanted by the entire magic side, and crushed all of his pursuers easily. Ollerus is an example of an impure Majin, yet he can still wield that power. Unlike Othinus, who is a perfect and pure Magic God, Ollerus is an impure Majin.

Discarded candidates
-->
 * Sigyn is hinted to theoretically have the potential to reach the realm of being a Majin. If she was able to use her suggestion ability on herself, as her suggestions can make anyone succeed at 100% accuracy, she would be perfect. However, she cannot do it, since her nature is to give what she has to others to make up for what they lack. If she tried to be perfect herself, she wouldn't be able to make up for what she lacks.

Demons are a type of entity present in various religions, mythologies and folklore across the world. Their exact nature varies depending on the context, but they are usually described as spiritual entities possessing supernatural power and influence.

There are plenty of stories and beliefs which involve demons. Among these are various tales involving magicians contracting demons and commanding them to do their bidding, and people who make a deal with demons or devils in order to obtain something from them, often in return for their soul. There are also various stories which involve demons individuals, much like ghosts. Other stories describe means to protect oneself against demons or how to them.

Religion, Mythology and Magic
Many religions and mythologies around the world have their own collections of demons, together with associated tales, attributes, rules, hierarchies, superstitions and other aspects. Some have demons as agents of the gods while others have them as enemies, though they are often below them.

With the rise, spread, change and decline of various religions around the world, various gods and demons from one religion, or traits associated with them, are often assimilated into other religions. In some cases, pagan gods of old may be reclassified and reduced to the role of fairies or demons.

As there are many tales and beliefs which involve demons, there are also many forms of magic which use them as a basis.

Christianity
Within Christianity, the term demon is often used to refer to a fallen angel (堕天使), a concept that is typically synonymous with a wicked or rebellious angel. Demons are also associated with and most often confined to the realm known as Hell. The term devil is also used to refer to demons as conceived by Christianity.

Angels are meant to be God's perfect tools and messengers to humanity, and have no free will of their own, being described as something like remote-controlled cars of God. However they might not be able to receive commands due to failure, receive wrong commands, or malfunction, and subsequently stray from God's will, at which point they become fallen angels and have the term demon (悪霊) associated with them.

The most famous example is Lucifer the Light-Bringer, also commonly referred to as The Devil and Satan, a mighty angel who was said to be the closest being to God and once sat at the Right Side of God, but malfunctioned and rebelled, turning a third of the angels and causing a war in Heaven, before being cast down to Hell by Archangel Michael. Another example is that of the Grigori, a group of fallen angels who gave knowledge to humans on how God created Man from clay before the time of Noah. The information wasn't conveyed correctly as the humans couldn't understand the angelic language and could only create puppets of mud, golems.

Similar to angels, these demons are energy masses present in different Phases.

Though the practice of religions assimilating or reducing the deities and entities of other religions is not exclusive to Christianity, it has the most notable track record among the world's religions, being the one which brought the term demon to its current and commonly associated form. With the rise and spread of Christianity, pagan gods of old were reclassified and reduced to the role of fairies or demons. This has given rise to the term to describe the process.

Christianity has various tales which involve demons and many form the basis for magic. A notable example is a widespread anti-flight spell, derived from the tale of St. Peter who when confronting the flying magician, said "Oh, demons carrying this magic user, promptly let go!!", causing Simon to lose the ability to fly and fall to his death. The Russian Orthodox Church's Annihilatus targets demons, among other supernatural entities and phenomena, for elimination.

Other
There are various methods for magicians to summon demons and bind them to a contract, compelling them to follow command(s) giving to them, even after the death of their contractor. After a summoning or contract has been completed, a summoned demon won't necessarily disappear on its own, only leaving once the spell user or another exorcises them.

Parchment is described as being a means used to converse with demons, during a partial explanation of William Wynn Westcott's quasi-immortality, maintained by using the attraction of a great being to distortion the circulation of his life force.

A number of grimoires contain information with regards to demons and their summoning. One of the most notable is the, the first part of the Lesser Key of Solomon or Lemegeton, which contains information and instructions pertaining to the 78 demons summoned by King Solomon. Magic and entities connected to are often collectively referred to by the term.

In Kabbalah, the opposite tree to the Sephiroth, the Qliphoth, has a demon's name engraved in each of its spheres or qliphah.

One notable demon not bound within the Qliphoth is Coronzon, the demon who appeared to Aleister Crowley in Egypt. As well as possessing the ability to possess objects and people, Coronzon displayed the ability to animate it's host's hair and manifest a giant, sinister demonic face from it, following the old witch tradition that the devil resides in women's hair.

Background
Around the time of the downfall of the Golden Dawn, the demon Coronzon was summoned by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and given one command; to pretend to have been summoned by Aleister Crowley and then guide him to ruin. Coronzon subsequently appeared during Aleister's attempt to cross between sephira in Egypt. After failing to hijack Aleister's body, Coronzon subsequently hid within a mountain of papyrus and travelled from northern Africa to England. Bound to follow the contract even after Mathers was killed, Coronzon plotted Aleister's ruin and manipulated events while secretly possessing the body of Aleister's second daughter Lola and acting as the Archbishop of Necessarius.

Aleister Crowley Arc
Following his defeat against Kamijou Touma, Coronzon revealed itself to Aleister and attacked him to fulfill it's contract with Mathers. After seemingly finishing him off and taking his body as a new vessel, Coronzon believed itself to have cut its ties to Mathers and was free to act as it wished, but soon learned that Aleister had diffused into over a billion of his potential selves which he had previously gathered within his body.

Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator
When Estelle Rosenthal activated the Taowu in an attempt to resurrect her recently-deceased friend Hishigata Hirumi, the Taowu and the soul of Isaac Rosenthal within it was contacted by a self-proclaimed demon, who informed them of a way to shift their soul to Keter using memories of death and achieve the Rosenthal Family's desire.

Etymology
Coronzon is a demon originating in writing by the 16th-century occultists and, featured within the latter's system of Enochian magic.

It came to be an important element within 's system of Thelema in the 20th century, as the "dweller in the abyss", one of the final obstacles on an adept's journey who acts to destroy the ego. In Thelemic works, its name is spelt.

With Coronzon's assumed name, Lola is the first name of Coronzon's host,, Aleister's second daughter. Stuart comes from the, a dynasty which Mathers wished to restore.

Appearance
Coronzon's full, true appearance, if it has one, isn't known, though it is capable of manifesting a giant, sinister demonic face from the hair of its hosts.

Its current host body, that of Lola Zala Crowley, is a girl whose appearance is that of an eighteen year old (though she is actually much older), with blue eyes and incredibly long blonde hair. Her hair is about 2.5 times her height, usually folded over and bound behind her head with a gold clasp, but still reaching her hips. She usually wears beige vestments.

Personality
Though Lola Stuart is known as someone who kept her good and bad deeds balanced as if to keep the scales level, Coronzon only restricts herself in that manner to provide an explanation and calm the waves when she takes actions which seemed out of character, until she fulfills the contract with Mathers.

Beneath the façade it presents to the world, Coronzon is a cruel and manipulative entity who guided events across a century in order to complete its contract, free itself from its bounds, and seize everything it wants for itself.

As well as acting to fulfill its objective, Coronzon also acts to amuse itself, granting others' wishes for fun in the past while working to carry out it's contract. On apparently seizing control of Academy City, Coronzon saw it as an interesting toy which was worth waiting for.

While seeking to bring Aleister to ruin as per its contract, Coronzon also took sadistic pleasure in doing so, mocking him from afar when his plans were disrupted by the appearance of the World Rejecter, and on revealing the truth, feeling joy in trampling over the father's dignity with his own daughter's body and taunting him with the last cry for help from his daughter gave as her body was taken. After revealing this and then apparently finishing Aleister off, Coronzon laughed and savored the delight of the deed enough to forget it's objective for a while.

Coronzon has considerable disdain for its summoner, Mathers, though it acknowledges his skill and took on its assumed surname as a special service to him.

Coronzon uses different speech patterns while acting as Lola Stuart and its true self.

<!--

As leader of the Church
As the head of Necessarius and the Archbishop of the Church of England, it is only fitting for a person of Laura Stuart's character to hold such positions in order for the to survive the tumultuous world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, which is separated by both science side and magic sides, the latter being a disjointed collection of religions, sects, factions, and cabals. Behind her beautiful facade lies a cold and calculating personality, with Stiyl Magnus mentioning she does things on both ends of the scale that it balances out to the point where it's impossible to tell whether she's good or evil. She is described by him as "no one is better than her in manipulating human feelings, rationality, interests, ethics, and necessary values" and '"the hidden dragon among magicians, she’s somehow able to get to the top, and it’s not done cheaply." She does as many good things as she does evil things. On the balance of good and evil, she’s keeping an intricate balance.

She can be very exceptionally cruel when it comes to her plans. An example with this is Laura being the one who had the Collar put on Index, and lied to people that Index must get her memory erased every year, as an attempt to maintain control of the grimoire library Index holds, as well as a much more terrible restraint she envisioned for her as an alternative, with her having Index's limbs cut off and lock her inside the Tower of London, to ensure her absolute safety of Index Librorum Prohibitorum's knowledge from magicians that would misuse it, and to prevent her escape. However, she can also be quite subtle and pragmatic with them befitting her devious nature, as exemplified by her agreeing to a treaty that allows Index to live in Academy City to build a proper relationship between the Church and the City, allowing the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church as part of the Church of England in order to have a rein over Kanzaki Kaori under the guise of protecting them, allowing Orsola Aquinas to join with the Church most likely to bind Kamijou Touma to the Church with his connections, and continual aiding Academy City from Lidvia Lorenzetti after determining that the effects of Croce di Pietro would not benefit her. Moreover, if a person has any use to her, she apparently loosens punishments on them, as exemplified with Sherry Cromwell, whom the Archbishop made tense negotiations with the City for and was given a "generous disposition" after her attack on the City. Another example of Laura's viciousness is when Index is under the control of Fiamma, she plans to forcibly use the remaining controller to prevent Fiamma having access to the girmoire collection Index have, even if it would put even more intense burdens onto Index. Stiyl rejects this move and delibrately stays with Index to prevent Laura doing anything, and plans to kill Laura if it means saving Index. Laura then activated her controller blocking Fiamma's signal, forcing Index into John's Pen mode and tries to fight back. Laura then coerced Stiyl into fighting Index, saying she is giving him a chance to do something to solve the problem at hand, and she'll step in with the controller regardless if he fails. All that was done with a seemingly sincere smile on Laura's face showing no outward malice. All this she does for the benefit of the Church of England.

Laura prefers to work behind the scenes if possible, and let others like Kaori or Stiyl deal with meeting with other factions face-to-face.

Other traits
In spite of her villainous qualities there is a lighter side, making her more of a two-faced beauty. When in the mood, she has a casual and joking nature towards equals like Aleister Crowley and Elizard, and even her subordinates such as Stiyl Magnus and Kanzaki Kaori, to the point that they can spout violence against her without repercussions. She is quite a tease as shown with her in Lambeth Palace with Stiyl in the bath, as well as apparently willing to wear a Santa costume with a mini-skirt for charity, much to Kaori's chagrin. This openness with her constituents where identities and statuses are not taken into consideration is a point of envy for Pope Matthai Reese, who commands dignity and respect that it prevents him from truly associating with his people. She is described as someone, who, no matter who the other party was, she would quarrel, reveal her ugly side, go crazy, and sometimes even cry. But in the end, she would always be laughing. This makes her naturally charismatic, a trait noted by Leivinia Birdway to be what Kamijou Touma has, along with Aleister Crowley. Stating that he has the seeds to do something indescribably great, which will give him great power if he controls it, or will be disastrous for him if he does not.

Regarding her looks, she takes great care in maintaining her long hair, with an entire set of a variety of gold and silver combs just for this purpose. She is also likely to scorch her in the sun's light to gain "Sun's hair," because she believes that the best looking blond hair was like that in olden times. Moreover, for her attire, though her beige robe is what she normally wears, as she is different from normal nuns, she had to prepare different sets of nuns’ robes according to the season, time, location, occasion, position on the matter, and ambition. Sometimes she would purposely wear clothes that indicated a lower standing in order to raise the status of the guest; sometimes she would purposely wear clothes that indicate a higher standing to show her dissatisfaction. This indicates her political savy even when it comes to clothing.

She loves baths and has a huge collection of the latest designs of baths from Academy City in Lambeth Palace, courtesy of Aleister as a gift to sweeten relations between the two sides, in addition to other technology such as the latest design of washing machines given to the Necessarius female dormitory. Her love of the latest baths does not extend to the latest technology however. Like many other characters from the magic side, she is baffled by modern technology.

She speaks archaic Japanese, courtesy of Tsuchimikado Motoharu teaching her, and is mentioned on a few occasions by Aleister Crowley and Stiyl Magnus as sounding "weird", with Stiyl going further telling her it was a mistake to think of Motoharu, who goes after his own sister, as a "normal" Japanese person and learning Japanese from that source. Furthermore, Stiyl commented that "the way you speak is still weird" when Laura switched from Japanese to English during a "heart to heart" communication spell. Because of this, she has a persecution complex regarding her Japanese and was worried that this fact has spread out in London after Charles Conder pointed out her strange Japanese as well. -->

Background
Around the time of the downfall of the Golden Dawn, the demon Coronzon was summoned by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and given one command; to pretend to have been summoned by Aleister Crowley and then guide him to ruin. Coronzon subsequently appeared during Aleister's attempt to cross between sephira in Egypt. After failing to hijack Aleister's body, Coronzon subsequently hid within a mountain of papyrus and travelled from northern Africa to England. Bound to follow the contract even after Mathers was killed, Coronzon plotted Aleister's ruin and manipulated events while secretly possessing the body of Aleister's second daughter Lola and acting as the Archbishop of Necessarius.

St. Germain Arc
Following the events instigated by St. Germain, she appears for the first time since the end of the War, apparently knowing of the movements of the true Gremlin. She is in St. George's Cathedral, noticing the confrontation of the Magic Gods against Aleister Crowley, and notes that now Aleister is not even attempting to hide who he is. She then begins the next step of her plan against Aleister and the Magic Gods as she wants to fully control both sides' actions, while also thinking about how what a certain other piece on the board might do next would affect the outcome.

Magic God Invasion Arc
After Kamisato Kakeru 'exiles' the remaining Magic Gods with World Rejecter, Coronzon, who knew of World Rejecter's arrival when even Aleister was unaware, mockingly laughs at how the rails formed by his plans and preparations have been bent by the single outside element. As she then asks what he'll do now, she claims the peak of darkness doesn't suit him and that the title of 'cannibal' or 'greatest eccentric of the 20th century' fits much better.

Aleister Crowley Arc
Following his defeat against Kamijou Touma, having snuck into the city disguised as part of the recovery team sent to extract the Tsuchimikados and Karasuma Fran, Coronzon revealed itself to Aleister and attacked him to fulfill it's contract with Mathers. After seemingly finishing him off and taking his body as a new vessel, Coronzon believed itself to have cut its ties to Mathers and was free to act as it wished, but soon learned that Aleister had diffused into over a billion of his potential selves which he had previously gathered within his body.

Abilities
As a demon, Coronzon is capable of being summoned through magic and will remain in the world until exorcised. It is bound to follow the commands of those who have formed a contract with it, even when the contractor has died. It was apparently capable of breaking Aleister Crowley's attempts to bind it, though it isn't certain whether it was due to its own abilities or the fact it was already bound to a contract with Mathers. Coronzon is also described as not being contained within the existing Qliphoth.

Coronzon is capable of possessing both objects, having hid in a mountain of papyrus to travel between Africa and England, and people, such as its current host, Lola Zala Crowley. It is also capable of possessing multiple vessels at once, as shown when Coronzon took one of Aleister's fallen bodies as an additional avatar. Given the youthful appearance of Coronzon's current host despite her age, it can be assumed that the demon is either capable of halting its host's aging or altering their appearance.

Coronzon is capable of manipulating the hair of its hosts and manifest a giant, sinister demonic face from it. This ability appears to be follow an old witch tradition concerning the devil residing in women's hair. Coronzon has been shown using hair to fatally crush part of one's body, to burrow inside a target body and take control of it, and using it as a medium to set off explosions which cause damage to selected targets.

Among the spiritual items she can use is the Sword of Damocles (ダモクレスの剣). Based on the sword which was hung over as he was allowed to sit on the throne by his king to illustrate the perils that came with kingship, the legend was apparently recreated as a test of courage for royalty and nobility to prove their worth. When used to impale Aleister's heart after he was knocked out by Kamijou Touma, light exploded from the wound and blew Touma's group nearby out of the hole in the Windowless Building.

Comments from the Knight Leader during the Battle of Folkestone, suggest that in terms of openly displayed capabilities, she is probably stronger than Kanzaki Kaori.

Etymology
Seemingly a reference to Touma's Imagine Breaker, Touma incorporates the meaning of the kanji used for his ability (幻想殺し), which means Illusion killer, into his famous catchphrase which can be translated into English as: "I will destroy that illusion of yours."

Interestingly in the novels, the kanji for the Imagine Breaker is sometimes changed to Ore no Migite (俺の右手).

History
Not much is known about the mysterious Imagine Breaker, but it has been confirmed that someone else, perhaps many others, have had the Imagine Breaker before Kamijou Touma. This power is terribly documented by the magic side. However, according to Ollerus, in ancient times, powers similar to the Imagine Breaker, showed themselves, taking different forms: weapons in the hands of great heroes, frescos rumored to be able to heal the diseases, while others took the form of caves and functioned as trials for those who entered them. However, he is unsure if they are related to the Imagine Breaker, or if those hopes combined together into another form as they were lost and have naturally appeared here.

Seemingly, only a few people know something about the Imagine Breaker. Terra of the Left for example, deduced Touma having amnesia since he is apparently not using the Imagine Breaker to its full capacity, and hints that Imagine Breaker might actually be an ability that extends itself further away from its bearer's right hand, based on Terra's personal knowledge of Fiamma of the Right's Holy Right ability. Even then, his conjecture may have been lacking as well, as even Fiamma of the Right was unaware of the terrible power that lurks within Touma's right hand after severing it.

It has been revealed that the Imagine Breaker can choose which person can wield it. After being severed from Touma several times in the past, it still remained in his possession. According to Fiamma of the Right, the current generation is still attached to Touma, referring to it as "the right hand is only the right hand when it is growing from his right shoulder," referencing his failure in obtaining Imagine Breaker from Touma in the past.

It is unknown who previously wielded the Imagine Breaker. According to Othinus, Imagine Breaker can also exist in objects, as she noted it takes different forms each time the last one is destroyed. She pointed out that if she were to destroy everything in existence, Imagine Breaker could potentially even find its way to her.

Primary features
Shown throughout the series, Touma's Imagine Breaker, negates both esper powers and magic. Moreover, through several circumstances, it can negate even divine powers, such as, in his own admission, the miracles of God, and more prominently, his defeating of Archangel Gabriel in World War III.

Supplementary features
In two different instances, Touma demonstrated that he can dispel to an extent the effects of an area-wide attack. One instance is blocking the effects of electricity Misaka Mikoto created, by putting his right hand out to act as a lightning rod for the electricity to be directed to his right hand and Imagine Breaker as opposed to another part of his body without the Imagine Breaker's protection. The other one is blocking a portion of Kaitabi Hatsuya's Graviton from hitting the people behind him using Imagine Breaker as a shield. Nonetheless, it is required for him to have physical contact to initiate the effects of his power.

It seems that Imagine Breaker has a permanent cancelling effect on some supernatural objects, as seen when it robbed Index's clothes of their Walking Church. Imagine Breaker can even ignore the overall actual weight or force behind of which an inanimate object has supernatural power concentrated on, as seen when Touma blocked a full-powered punch from a massive golem without showing signs of obvious effort, before the golem collapsed on itself due to the magic that manifested it being abolished by Imagine Breaker's power. He did, however; "almost break his hand" in said exchange. Another example is when Touma blocks Acqua of the Back's magic enhanced attack while in a weakened state, where before Touma would have been easily overpowered by Acqua's attack if it was just a normal attack with pure brute force and not magic.

Removal from the body
It has become apparent, that in the event that the right hand is severed from the body, as in with Touma's case in several occasions, an invisible and ineffable power appears to take in Imagine Breaker's stead. This power's true form is currently unknown, though it is enough to bring fear upon Fiamma of the Right upon witnessing it, it was not for the Imagine Breaker ability, but for it to act as a medium for his Holy Right to gain a corporeal form. However, the power was weak enough to be utterly crushed by Othinus.

Touma can communicate with the power, and could somehow force it to yield to his will. In Touma's first "talk" with the invisible thing, an even greater power swallowed what had appeared and suppress it. There is currently no information in what this great power is, or if it is simply Touma's willpower that took control.

Finally, after the right hand or right arm is torn or severed from Touma's body, it can reconnect miraculously back to the body, as if was not separated and all. This includes bones, vessels, and nerves. During Touma's first separation from his right arm, Heaven Canceller references this and calls his right arm a piece of fantasy. However, it has been shown that in the event that the removed right arm cannot be reconnected to Touma, a new arm takes the place where the old arm was in Touma's body, and from there, the Imagine Breaker disappears from the removed arm and transfers to the new arm. It is unknown what conditions are required to fulfill this, but it can be presumed to be Imagine Breaker's relationship with Touma.

Weaknesses and Limitations
Despite of the extents of Touma's abilities, Touma might not have the ability to negate all "artificial" supernatural abilities, such as the Power of the World and leylines. Some objects such as the Queen's Fleet and Innocentius require Touma to target the core or some other important piece that provides power to them in order for his Imagine Breaker to effectively negate them.

Also, since the Imagine Breaker is concentrated to only Touma's right hand, Touma is truly helpless against a wave of magic attacks in great numbers, as what happened with Misawa Cram School and the Gregorian Chant Replica performed on him. Furthermore, since the effects of Touma's Imagine Breaker is always singular, as in it can only negate, magicians such as Oriana Thomson can make use of this to make a trap against Touma after negating a spell.

So far there are only a few attacks which can "surpass" Imagine Breaker's power canceling speed, as such he is unable to completely destroy them despite continued exposure to the Imagine Breaker: Index's Dragon Breath, Stiyl's Innocentius, Fiamma of the Right's flaming sword, Accelerator's wings in his awakened state, and Birdway's Summoned Telesma Explosion. The Curtana Original's Dimensional Cleavage Formula, however, is a different case, as it does not fall under the 'surpassing cancelling speed' category, but 'After this window of opportunity it can't be negated' category. It would imply that the phenomenon that Curtana had brought upon have become normalized and is no longer considered a supernatural phenomena. Kanzaki Kaori stated that Imagine Breaker can negate a dimensional cutter attack if it comes into contact within 1.25 seconds.

While the Imagine Breaker does negate some forms of psychic powers and magic used on his body out right like teleportation and Healing Magic this is not guaranteed. After his first run in with Aureolus, he wipes Touma's memories of what had transpired in the school until touches his right hand to his head negating the spell. Then later when they fought again he was nearly incapacitated by the Suffocate command until stuff one of his fingers deep into his throat to destroy the spell. When Cendrillon finds and drags Touma into a nearby alleyway, she discovers that he had been shot and immediately tries to use healing magic on him, but the Imagine Breaker simply negates her attempts. Although, the spell was not negated until the light of the spell spread from his wound to the rest of his body where it reached his right hand and was then negated. In the Daihaiseisai incident Shokuhou Misaki is shown to have knowledge of the Imagine Breaker, but also showed that she is able to bypass it's normal automatic negation of Telepathy.

During his trip to Russia, Touma makes use of the Imagine Breaker's limitations for the first time. Due to Imagine Breaker not fully negating supernatural phenomena, Touma has learned to use it to interfere via "negation and disruption". Normally, Imagine Breaker negates any supernatural power or object upon contact, but because of its limits, if a supernatural power/object is sufficiently powerful or massive enough in size it will not be completely negated right away or it will take a longer time to fully defeat it. It's during this state of cancellation that Touma can actually physically touch and grab the power/object, negating and disrupting it instead of instantly destroying it. This, of course, is usually more of a disadvantage than an advantage of Imagine Breaker. Still, during Touma's fight with Accelerator in Russia, Touma pulled one of Accelerator's black wings to throw Accelerator off balance and dodge the attack when Accelerator struck Touma with 100 wings that he summoned. That single touch was capable of negating the vector controlling power of said wing as well.

According to Index's speculation, Imagine Breaker negates God's blessings, which is the luck people have, as is the reason why Touma is misfortunate, much to his horror. Furthermore, she speculates that his Imagine Breaker may also negate the, which would also explain why girls gather around him without effort.

Under certain conditions, the Imagine Breaker can be affected to a certain extent by similar powers crystallized from the collective hopes and desires of magicians such as World Rejecter.

Effects on natural forces
The Imagine Breaker, however, is unable to negate the Power of the World, its ley lines, the lifeforces and souls of human beings, due to them being natural, despite being supernatural as well. According to Leivinia Birdway this is because the Imagine Breaker normalizes things that are of abnormal values, specifically, it destroys things that have had their harmony taken. However, things such as the aforementioned examples, have always been uniform from the start despite being supernatural in nature. Touma's Imagine Breaker can only destroy things that had their harmony's taken from them, as such something that had been abnormal from the start, such as the power of the world will never not be negated by the Imagine Breaker. Furthermore, Leivinia states that a cycle was probably set up from the start to be like that, and not how much the world can replenish power.

Effects on angels and divine beings
Imagine Breaker also seems capable of affecting an angel, since Archangel Gabriel who became Misha using Sasha Kreutzev's body didn't dare to try and touch Touma's right hand when he offered her candy. Kazakiri Hyouka, the artificial angel, is subconsciously afraid of physically touching Touma. Furthermore, as a reaction to the Imagine Breaker, Hyouka gains a consciousness and is born within the Imaginary Number District. However, Touma cannot apparently completely negate them with the Imagine Breaker, as it's been shown that an angelic being has a core, which require it's destruction to be properly destroyed. Such as the triangular prism within Hyouka's head or of the AIM Burst's. Archangel Gabriel too also returned to its realm upon coming into contact with Touma's Imagine Breaker near the end of World War III.

It is unknown what effects Touma's Imagine Breaker could have on other supernatural being such as Aiwass, though it can be assumed that since he also has a core, the effects of Imagine Breaker on him still applies.

Science side
Despite Touma's status as a esper is something that many treat as a non-issue, but since he is enrolled in Academy City, he is often associated as part of the Science side. Touma's Imagine Breaker can not be detected or classified by their machines, and just classfied Touma as a Level 0. As such Aleister Crowley considers him neither a esper nor a magician but rather a normal person with a unique ability. This allows Touma's actions to have a little leeway, since he is neither a magician nor an esper, he can interfere in various magic side business without implicating Academy City for directly interfering with magic side matters, such as what has occurred during the invasion of Misawa Cram School by Aureolus Izzard. Even Aleister Crowley seems to take advantage of this, allowing Touma do go into dangerous situations regardless of sides for his plans.

Most of the science side however, is unaware or plainly ignorant of the existence of the Imagine Breaker, and certain members of the general population, such as Saten Ruiko consider the existence of a person who has an ability that negate other abilities as an interesting urban legend.

This is also apparent in the dark side of Academy City, as only a few people such as Girl in the dress, Kinuhata Saiai, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu, are aware of Touma's importance to Aleister Crowley, despite not knowing how exactly he fits into his plans.

In the fight with Rensa, she used her illegal access to Academy City’s giant database known as the Bank and identified Touma's power listed there. According to the System Scan results recorded in the Bank, he was listed as a true Level 0 but, unlike normal Level 0s, the precision equipment had truly not been able to detect anything. She did find a comment that had been added saying there were reports of him being able to negate other powers. Normally she would have also dismissed these as rumors that he himself had spread, if not for witnessing them firsthand. She fought off the impulse to try and create the characteristics for his power until she detected an attack that was about to be launched from Kuroyoru Umidori and choose to counter it by creating the Imagine Breaker to try it out before killing Touma. Though she had met all of the necessary conditions for creating it in her hand, then her arm swelled up like a balloon from the unknown thing from beyond his right hand that resulted in her arm had completely blown off. Unlike Sogiita Gunha's power, which she is unable to reproduce due to it being unexplainable, while she was able to gain some understanding of Imagine Breaker the results of reproducing it proved to be extremely hazardous; this likely proves how, much like Accelerator's relationship with the Dark May Project, there has been no known previous attempts into replicating Imagine Breaker's power as the mere attempt would obviously be disastrous, along with having extremely low successful results, thus further proving its value in the science side.

Magic side
In the Christian dominations of the magic side, especially the Roman Catholic Church, the Imagine Breaker is considered a heretical power as it denies the blessings of God. In the most extreme cases, Touma himself is considered the heretic for having that power, although him being presently active in many failed Roman Catholic missions did not help his case. His heretical nature would later inevitably spark the invasion of Academy City, and later World War III.

After the end of the third world war, Touma has become a major target by magicians, and some, such as the masterminds behind Radiosonde Castle has even gone out of their way to endanger the entire world just so to kill him. Othinus the Magic God and leader of Gremlin, her goal to use her as Magic God power to distort the world, specifically to take this world where Academy City and the science side have won and distort it beyond recognition. For this reason, she not only sees no value in the Imagine Breaker that can negate her distortion acting as a reference point to before the distortion still existed. Gremlin wishes to cut that lifeline and do nothing but insuring the loss of this back-up of the previous world.

Speculation and important points
The true nature of Kamijou Touma and the Imagine Breaker has yet to be revealed, but slowly, it has been shown that it had a different owner other than Touma in the past. Both Terra of the Left and Fiamma of the Right had conjecture of its nature, with Terra of the Left, basing upon his experience on Fiamma of the Right's Holy Right, thinking that it could be extended beyond the right hand, while Fiamma of the Right terribly underestimated the true extent of the true nature of Touma's Imagine Breaker upon severing it. But the most obvious example is Aleister Crowley's interest in Kamijou Touma and the Imagine Breaker, having been implied to deliberately send Touma to dangerous situations since his introduction, such as setting up his meeting with Kazakiri Hyouka, as well as manipulating Touma to confront Oriana Thomson.

Touma and the Imagine Breaker's importance is later brought into further light, as he is considered the core of Aleister Crowley's plan alongside Accelerator. Touma's actions have been calculated to be within the error range of his plans, meaning that any action Touma may take can be beneficial. In fact, the Imagine Breaker was apparently affecting 98% of Aleister's plans before the start of Carissa's civil war. Since another person had the Imagine Breaker before Touma, it can be assumed that this is what Aleister Crowley referred to when he comments upon having his "illusions" destroyed a long time ago, when Tsuchimikado Motoharu warned him to be wary of using Touma.

Furthermore, Touma's significance is so great that he is valued to be greater than any esper in Academy City. During Academy City's planned retrieval of him during World War III, he was to be kept alive at all cost during retrieval, however if he had sided with an organization, he was to be attacked and later kept alive with the same life support system used for Kakine Teitoku, on his way to Academy City. His importance is further emphasized as even Aiwass has taken an interest in him, alongside Accelerator and Hamazura Shiage.

Later it is reported by Ollerus who believes that Terra of the Left was probably the person who came the closest to knowing the identity of the Imagine Breaker through researching the contradiction needed for the Son of God to be killed by human hands. He notes that the Imagine Breaker is the collection of the hope and the fear of all magicians. To him, it is the reference point or template to the original world. Its negation of supernatural phenomenon returns the world back to normal before the phenomenon occurred. As such, the Imagine Breaker embodies the hopes of magicians who can act all they want without fear of losing the original world, and is the fear of magicians because it removes the distortion they have created. It acts as a lifeline that allows the world to be reverted to normal, no matter how far it has been distorted in any direction. This is the very reason why someone who wants to distort the world beyond recognition from the previous one, like the Majin Othinus, see the Imagine Breaker as a threat. Othinus herself would eventually make use of Imagine Breaker's function as a reference point to recreate Touma's original world after her battle with him, a process she later compared to watching an infinitely-expanding snow crystal growing from calculated core.

The Imagine Breaker's nature as a power crystallized from the hopes, dreams and desires of magicians would later be affirmed by the Magic Gods themselves, who due to wielding the vast majority of the Magic Side's power have the greatest influence in the formation of such powers. Due to the true Gremlin's emerging doubts in Touma, whom they wished to be their 'scorer', brought about by his interactions with Othinus, some of the power focused on the incomplete Imagine Breaker escaped and began to form a new power, leading to the creation of the World Rejecter, a crystallization of the wishes of magicians to escape to a new world rather than cling to the current one like with Imagine Breaker.

Beyond the right hand
It has been hinted even from the very beginning that Touma's Imagine Breaker has a queer connection with dragons, with Touma's Imagine Breaker being able to destroy the Walking Church, that supposedly could only be destroyed if the Dragon that St. George defeated would descend again. Strangely, Touma later does battle with both St. George's Sanctuary and Dragon's Breath in the same value, being unable to completely negate it and requiring Stiyl Magnus and Kanzaki Kaori's assistance. However, the most striking example of this is in the climax of the Deep Blood Arc. Wherein after Touma had his entire right arm cut off, Touma uses Aureolus Izzard's Ars Magna against him using fear, which made Aureolus conjure up the dragon head that was used to defeat him. The dragon head was referred to as the Dragon Strike (竜王の顎 (ドラゴンストライク) ). It is later hinted that Aureolus may not have been the one to come up with imagining Touma's arm to be replaced by a dragon.

The Dragon Strike reappeared when Touma's arm was blown off in his attempt to stop Misaka Mikoto, while her powers were rising to Level 6, from firing a highly destructive giant black sphere during Daihaseisai. In its reappearance in stopping the destructive collected energy sphere by tearing it apart, it was accompanied by seven other dragon heads all of different appearances and all of them extending out with long necks from Touma's stump. As both Mikoto and Sogiita Gunha saw the dragon, this proves that the Dragon Strike wasn't merely imagined by Aureolus. It should be noted that within Christian Church, the dragon represents more than one thing. It represents pagans and foreign invading forces, but also represents a fallen angel stained with evil.

The presence of something beyond the Imagine Breaker in Touma's right hand is not addressed again until the climax of the third world war. When Fiamma severed Touma's right arm along with the Imagine Breaker in order to absorb that power into himself, it was not for the Imagine Breaker ability, but for it to act as a medium for his Holy Right to gain a corporeal form. Immediately afterwards an "invisible thing" gathered on Touma's right shoulder which made all Fiamma has pale in comparison, but Touma unexpectedly crushed that power with "an even greater power" and then took back the Imagine Breaker. Although the true nature of those powers is unclear, Touma is shown to be able to communicate with the "invisible thing" referring to the power as "you" before refusing to use its power, crushing the power and regenerating his lost right arm much like what he likely did when he saved Misaka Mikoto from Kihara Gensei's Level 6 Shift attempt on her.

After Fiamma's right arm was severed by Aleister, it was confirmed there is more to Touma's right hand than just "a right hand that can negate supernatural ability". Touma's right hand is a vessel that can be used to house a greater power, and this is the main reason why Aleister and Fiamma seeks Touma's right hand, not for Imagine Breaker. Due to Fiamma's discovery of something within Touma's right hand, Aleister is forced to make an appearance into the world, hinting on how he knew what was inside Touma all along and now that Fiamma knew of its existence forces Aleister to eliminate Fiamma by his own hands. Although Aleister failed in killing Fiamma of the Right, it showed how important the Imagine Breaker, and especially the unknown power residing in Touma's right hand, is to Aleister's plans that he is willing to show himself to the world and ruin his ruse of him being dead to the world.

However, the most important aspect of this is that Touma now also knows that something resides in his right hand and wishes to understand what is Imagine Breaker. Regardless of this desire, Touma has never used the invisible power on his own volition and prefers to use the Imagine Breaker instead. Although it should be noted that during the final part of his battle with the High Priest, Touma has seemingly tried to use whatever it is that resides in his right hand to stop the comet, which High Priest fused with, from falling to Academy City.

Design evolution
Below is Haimura Kiyotaka's design of the Dragon Strike for Toaru Majutsu no Index 2nd light novel volume. Following that are designs for the dragon heads released by the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga editor from his Twitter account. These are the dragon heads that appeared from Touma's severed arm as seen in the tankobon of the 10th volume of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Designed by Kiya Shii, it shows 8 of the dragon heads as well as additional 9 designs that have been rejected.

Trivia

 * A very specific and high pitched sound is played in nearly every moment where Touma's Imagine Breaker negates something in both seasons of the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime adaptation.
 * The negation sound used in the anime adaptation of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun is a different sounding effect, a similarly high pitched sound which echoes slightly.
 * The song Gensō Goroshi is present in the 2nd Toaru Majutsu no Index original soundtrack, and is named after Touma's ability. It is used in all animated adaptations of the franchise, both Railgun and Index, and is played often during moments of building towards action sequences. On the same soundtrack the song, Breakthrough can be found, having a faster tempo than the former and having a heavier rock-oriented arrangement.

Appearance
Apparently, its appearance and shape is only due to the Fuse Kazakiri, which was formed in order to give Aiwass a body. Its true form is still unknown, but Aiwass appears in the current year of the timeline as a golden haired being, with a tall and thin stature. Aiwass appears wearing loose white clothing that covers its body entirely. It is effeminate-looking, but its gender is never specified and is described as hard to ascertain. Its expression is also difficult to ascertain, having a mix of happiness, sadness, grief, and anger, and is referred to as having emotions completely different to humans.

Aiwass has been described by Fiamma of the Right as an angel that cannot be explained by the Bible or theology. Aiwass is described as the symbol of an element that is inside the world created by God and also outside the hands of God. Even Aiwass describes itself as different from the angels of the Bible.

Personality
Unlike its student, Aiwass has a casual way of talking, making interjections such as "Oops" as well as swearing. Aiwass also talks in a way that includes terms and sounds which are distorted when spoken, as if the aural law of the world cannot accommodate the sound, or it is a form of its own Angelic language.

As opposed to Aleister Crowley, who judges things on their efficiency, Aiwass judges things on whether it has value or not. It appears disinterested in the affairs of the world, though showing interest in both Accelerator's and Kakine Teitoku's abilities, as well as Kamijou Touma and Hamazura Shiage. Apparently its only motivation is to experience interesting things, such as trying to use a cellphone despite not needing one, as well as meddling in Aleister's plans, sending off Accelerator, and Kazakiri Hyouka to Russia. It is also uncaring of being killed, and actually challenges Accelerator to try and kill it. Moreover, it apparently gets bored so easily, that Aleister required to install an anti-suicide mechanism into its defenses in order for it not to kill itself out of boredom.

In addition, it doesn't care about Aleister's threats about losing its status as above mortals forever, saying that it never asked for its powers in the first place and it would not matter either way.

Background
Much of its existence is unknown and has implied that it can exist for thousands of years. According to Stiyl Magnus, in one of Aleister Crowley's trips in order to carry out a magical experiment, he used his wife who accompanied him around the world as a medium to contact it. Most details are unknown on what happened in their meeting or how many times Aleister contacted Aiwass, but according to Stiyl, Aleister learned from Aiwass the "Angelic Technique" that no human is able to use, and recorded it in the Book of the Law. Its existence has a profound effect in Aleister's actions, and is central to his plans.

Aleister Crowley somehow managed to contain Aiwass in Academy City and is apparently stuck, probably in a different dimension, similar to the Imaginary Number District. Up until recently in the timeline, Aleister could not give it form and shape up until the production unit Fuse Kazakiri was manifested. Furthermore, like Fuse Kazakiri, it requires AIM diffusion fields of the espers, a special code in Last Order that is propagated through the Misaka Network in order to take shape. It is unknown what Aiwass did before getting form, but it can be assumed that it observed the goings-on of the City, most likely of that of Touma, Accelerator, and Shiage, and its existence is known to people like Shiokishi.

Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc
Though not appearing itself, Aiwass's history with Aleister Crowley is referenced during the arc, and is mentioned as the one who have taught Aleister the contents of his magic that he would then write in the Book of the Law.

Battle Royale Arc
GROUP gathers round at unknown time after the events of the arc. Here, Tsuchimikado Motoharu has somehow retrieved the Pincet Gloves with the Tweezers, to analyze UNDER_LINE. Other than the various factions found in there, Motoharu makes a distinction after finding the word DRAGON, that would mean that its secrecy level is higher than the other dark organizations within Academy City.

DRAGON Arc
The actions of GROUP during the arc is to find the identity of the top secret DRAGON and using that information to negotiate on an even playing field with the higher ups of the city. As GROUP interrogates Shiokishi about DRAGON, he mentions that "DRAGON is everywhere," and at which point everyone present except Accelerator is knocked out, much to his surprise as Aiwass appears before him out of sheer interest.

Aiwass is surprised that Accelerator did not immediately attack it after swiftly defeating the rest of his comrades, and states to him that it was interested in him, as such it appeared before him, asking if he is disappointed by its appearance. Aiwass’ form is still incomplete, as it lapses into 'Angelic gibberish' every now and then since human language can’t convey what it wants to say. Accelerator cannot comprehend Aiwass or what it’s suggesting at first, as to him, its actions of showing up in front of him are illogical, when Academy City tried so hard to hide DRAGON’s information. Aiwass explained how humans never change, and that history is always flowing on regardless of what humans do, so even if it was defeated, it could always come back in another 10,000 years, or even 100,000 years, as it is not really of this world. Aiwass also said though Aleister always improves his plans to make them better after unforeseen events, cracks are starting to appear. When Aiwass revealed Aleister's plans to replace Last Order as she will inevitably break down, and that if it was defeated, Last Order might be saved, Accelerator decided to just kill Aiwass.

Accelerator charged at Aiwass, though his power didn't work on it and Accelerator got sliced in two by Aleister’s self-defense program that he embedded into Aiwass’ body, on the off chance it was in danger. Aiwass also had golden-white wings hidden under its hair. Accelerator brought out his black wings and tried to attack, but Aiwass only smiled and says that’s something from the Aeon of Osiris and that it was outdated and cannot possibly defeat itself, a being from the Aeon of Horus. Their wings clashed and Accelerator got beaten in one blow. Accelerator then followed the AIM Field from the SISTERs and forcibly shutdown Misaka Network, since Aiwass had said Last Order was the core for its existence for now. Aiwass impressed that Accelerator is willing to shut down the source of his powers even though he is grievously injured in order to defeat it. While Aiwass was disappearing, Accelerator pulled out his handgun and shot its exposed triangular-prism core. After Accelerator shot the core, Aiwass was still present, with the additional defenses programmed in by Aleister. Aiwass said that it was such a pity before finally defeating Accelerator.

At the end, Aiwass is shown having a conversation with Aleister. Aiwass is motivated by the 'value' of doing something, while Aleister judges things by 'efficiency.' Aiwass also comments on the differences between Touma and Accelerator; Accelerator craved for the wholesomeness of being a 'hero' like Touma, to the point he declared himself evil since he cannot reach that level, while in reality, Touma is only doing whatever he felt was right and is labeled 'righteous' by other people impulsively. Aiwass ends up asking Aleister if he envies 'heroes' like them, the three of them that stands up with their own two feet regardless what happens. One who follows his ideals no matter what (Kamijou Touma); one that tries hard to redeem himself (Accelerator); and someone who is never looked at by people, nor has any talent, but for the one person he loves, he’ll become a hero anyway (Hamazura Shiage). Aleister's voice actually strains after hearing Aiwass verbal barrages, and says that he will use anything he can, even Aiwass. He threatens Aiwass that despite it finding entertainment at the sight in the errors of his plan, he tells Aiwass that its superiority will not last forever.

Aiwass tells Aleister that it doesn't possess its power because it wished to nor does it wish to continue holding that because it worked towards that end. Aiwass concludes that it will appear again if there is something else holds value or interest to it. It is later revealed that Accelerator survived, and takes Last Order with him to the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations, a place where militaries, technologies, completely different set of laws that he has never seen before will appear if he wishes to save Last Order. It tells Accelerator to remember the term Index Librorum Prohibitorum, and though he will not find it there, but an important detail dealing with it.

World War III Arc
Accelerator mentions Aiwass several during the course in his journey. However, later after Accelerator is defeated by Touma once more, and is sent by him to the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations, Aiwass smiles back in Academy City, saying that Touma's right hand is interesting, and lamenting the fact that it couldn't meet him before he left the city.

Aiwass talks with Kazakiri Hyouka, telling her that Archangel Gabriel, or a better description is Misha Kreutzev due to a mix-up in essence, is going to descend soon and then there will be many innocents dead, and Hyouka should go and restrain Misha. Aiwass doesn't feel like going itself since that's no fun. Aiwass says itself can control the Misaka Network even without Last Order, since the SISTER clones have agreed to help, and it can expand the AIM field in Academy City all the way into Russia. Kazakiri agrees on one condition that is for Aiwass to not go after Index. Aiwass replies Index will only be targeted if she interests it. Hyouka then said if Aiwass does go after Index then she'll stop it, even if it means destroying them both. Aiwass smiled and then called her threat naive, since that statement just might perk its interest.

After World War 3 is over Kazakiri Hyouka warned Aiwass that if it continues to toy with humans one day it might be destroyed by them. Aiwass merely replied that if the frail humans can one day reach their level then that would be interesting.

Magic God Othinus Arc
One of the magic gods or bizarre magicians, as Aleister Crowley calls them, in the phase of the world that even Magic God Othinus' power could not touch, says that the cornerstone of Aleister's plan, Aiwass, is a failure, and that before long he will be at wits' end. Already enraged by their previous comments to the point of forcing him to say his magic name, Aleister attacks them.

Mental Out Arc
While facing Kihara Noukan, Shundou Toshizou, a researcher that transferred his mind to that of a killer whale and later manipulated Mitsuari Ayu in order to gain Shokuhou Misaki's Mental Out, has his water tank destroyed by Noukan's Anti-Art Attachment Powered Suit. Here Tohizou questions how the water flows around Noukan in a perfect circle. Noukan answers it is because he is like Rensa, whose role is to crush the seven Level 5s, and his role is to target being such as Ladylee Tangleroad, Fräulein Kreutune, and Aiwass. This confuses Toshizou, but Noukan simply states that he deals with things that are beyond the realm that normal people could comprehend, though says that crushing him is an odd job. With that, Noukan expands this circle and removes all the water that Toshizou is floating on. He then uses the weapons of his Anti-Art Attachment to kill Toshizou.

Aleister Crowley Arc
On December 11th, Aiwass was summoned during Aleister's battle with Kamijou Touma, using the power of the city's espers gathered at the Windowless Building via the citywide nerve network, as part of his ceremony to accomplish his goal of destroying the phases. Aiwass subsequently overwhelmed Touma, its immense power boosted further through the Blasting Rod, even casually crushing the unknown entity within Touma when it briefly emerged. However, the Reading Thoth 78 (in the form of Mina Mathers) came to Touma's aid, using its nature as the Thoth Tarot and its connection to Aiwass itself to draw on it's own power and temporarily hold it off. This bought enough time for Index's group to neutralize the magic sword embedded in Tsuchimikado Maika and disrupt the summoning, causing Aiwass to disappear.

Due to the immense power and special qualities it possesses, Aiwass is at the core of Aleister's plan to destroy the phases and eliminate magic.

Nature
Commonly referred to as the Holy Guardian Angel (聖守護天使),  Aiwass is a transcendent being and higher life form from the deepest regions of the world,      Aiwass is described as a being of the Aeon of Horus, which is said to have arrived with the first contact in 1904.

Its name doesn't come from anywhere, not belonging to any religious category or mystical text prior to its appearance. There have been numerous theories surrounding Aiwass's existence, some more accurate than others but hardly any which fully grasp what Aiwass is. It has been considered as a 'holy guardian angel', the true Secret Chief, an 'extraterrestrial life form', 'the true person who holds the secrets to modern Western magic organizations', DRAGON, angel, demon, criminal, and various other things. Some of these theories can actually be exploited by Aiwass itself, such as the theory of being an intelligent 'extraterrestrial life form' which it could utilize to bring out some of its power in outer space without an avatar.

Aiwass itself has mentioned how its codename DRAGON is not exactly wrong to a point and how the term 'Angel' was alright as well, being closer to the truth than some of the other rumors and wild ideas surrounding its existence. However it also said how its existence was completely different from the angels recorded in the Bible, so to more accurately describe its presence the other term should be used. In reference to Aiwass, Fiamma of the Right described how an angel which couldn't be described by the Bible or theology was also the symbol of an element inside the world created by God and also outside the hands of God - the beginning of the destruction of the fate established by God. Being from the Aeon of Horus, Aiwass is beyond the Aeon of Osiris dominated the laws defined by the Christian church and its God.

Aiwass is Aleister's greatest treasure, as it is the angel of the bottommost layer of the world, below the phases of religion and magic, right at the Pure World. As such, its power can be harnessed to destroy the phases above it, leaving the magicless world in the process. Although Aiwass was dismissed as a failure by the High Priest, it also plays a key role in Aleister's anti-Magic God countermeasures.

The number associated with Aiwass is 93, the same as Thelema. The Thoth Tarot contains the essence of the Holy Guardian Angel and the 20th card of its Major Arcana, The Aeon (永遠 (アイオーン) ), can be used to draw upon Aiwass's power. According to Aleister, Imagine Breaker and Accelerator are required to contact Aiwass's core.

New Bits:
 * Thoth Tarot essence(NT18Ch4Pt7 - contains essence, Aeon (originally final judgment but changed to contact) can draw power)
 * Numerous theories - some which can be exploited (Secret Chief)
 * Role recognized by Othinus
 * beyond the surface normally experienced by humans,
 * Higher being(21-2-7) - creation of life
 * 20-Pr: Fundamentally different axis to humans who ascend to Magic Godhood, doubt stand up to through pure force
 * 2-6: Summoning Aiwass in 1904
 * 20-3-5: Not common - for one thing, no pure elements on surface of four worlds
 * "Extraterrestrial Life Form" (地球外生命体)
 * Commonly referred to as the Holy Guardian Angel (聖守護天使),(Refs: OT, NT  (NT20-21?))
 * There have been numerous theories surrounding Aiwass's existence, some more accurate than others but hardly any which fully grasp what Aiwass is. (V19,22,NT18,19)

Manifestation
Due to its nature as an entity from the deeper regions of the world, special measures need to be taken in order to manifest Aiwass on the surface. As an energy form, Aiwass requires an avatar (霊媒</rb> (</rp>アバター</rt>)</rp>) in order to fully utilize its power in the regular world, though it can compensate for the lack of an avatar to a certain degree if it leaves the planet and enters outer space, following the theory of being an extraterrestrial life form.

When Aiwass appeared before Aleister Crowley in 1904, it inhabited the body of his wife Rose. The exact method which Aleister used to summon it at this time isn't known.(NT21?)

In recent times, Aleister's methods for bringing forth Aiwass have involved and the aggregation of AIM diffusion fields filling Academy City (the Imaginary Number District), produced by the city's esper population, with the Misaka Network being used as a guidance control mechanism.

On September 30th, Last Order was infected with a virus which was used to turn Kazakiri Hyouka into Fuse Kazakiri, a being which can be called an artificial angel. This in turn was used to give Aiwass form. While trying describing the process to Accelerator in terms which could be expressed, Aiwass used the analogy of a salt crystal, comparing the AIM diffusion fields to extremely concentrated salt water, which alone wouldn't crystallize and to which it would be better to add some foreign material such as a stick or dust (or in this case, an 'angel') to get the process going. While crystallization is simple, if a particular shape and size is desired, the qualities of the core need to be carefully prepared - in this case, Fuse Kazakiri was the production line fine-tuned in order for Aiwass to appear.

The structural virus was also used to add several other features to Aiwass's body/construction/form, including an automatic defense and suicide prevention mechanism, various protective measures to ensure its survival, and a transformation function. By cutting off the Misaka Network from the surrounding area with his jamming device, Accelerator was able to locally remove the core of the 'crystal' and return it to the original 'salt water', causing Aiwass to fade and exposing its core, though despite having the core shattered, Aiwass soon returned due to the defenses embedded into it. Aiwass's manifestation put a massive burden on Last Order's body, threatening her life, and after the interference was removed from her mind on October 31st, the power secured its existence was drastically reduced and as a result, it would soon withdraw from the surface.

During the events on December 11th, Aleister summoned Aiwass by gathering the power of the city's espers at the Windowless Building through the use of an underground nerve network (in a similar fashion to Rensa) and using a summoning sword coupled with the karma-bearing chains. This summoning largely depended on the sword and once Tsuchimikado Motoharu managed to safely neutralize it, Aiwass soon vanished.

Similar to Kazakiri Hyouka and the AIM Burst, Aiwass has a core shaped like a triangular prism hidden in the center of its head,  the surface of which is continually moving around and clicking like a keyboard. According to Aiwass during its encounter with Accelerator, its destruction would have taken it out if it was on the level of Fuse Kazakiri, not exactly killing it but ensuring that it couldn't reemerge for a few years. In that particular case however, Aleister's precautions ensured that wouldn't happen.

New Bits:
 * ...brought to surface/appear on the surface/deep near the Pure World/deepest regions
 * Fuse Kazakiri
 * V19Ch4Pt1: Salt Crystal Core analogy
 * Fuse Kazakiri - being can be referred to as artificial angel . Given properties not incorrect, not actually reach what is. Actually something like production line used to form Aiwass
 * Compare to crystal. Familiar substance - water or salt. Go with salt
 * AIM diffusion field - extremely concentrated salt water. Alone not cause crystallization. Better to add foreign material to salt water, stick/dust/angel. Crystallization simple but if want particular shape/size, qualities of core carefully prepared.
 * Factory production line fine-tuned in order to create, born following pattern, born not quite right - 'appeared' rather than 'born'.
 * V19Ch4Pt3: The structural virus was also used to add several other features to Aiwass's body/construction/form, including an automatic defense and suicide prevention mechanism, various protective measures to ensure its survival, and a transformation function.
 * Wings move on own.
 * V19Ch4Pt3
 * Jamming device cut off signal for remote control and set to entire network. Guides mass of AIM fields. True that blocking from area locally remove crystal's core and return to original salt water.

Current Bits:
 * Aiwass is a being is formed out of the production of Fuse Kazakiri, as such, it needs the AIM diffusion fields of espers, the Misaka Network, and a special code in Last Order in order to exist, which however, causes a massive burden on Last Order's body.
 * It has similar features to Fuse Kazakiri, due to the fact she was a production model in for it to gain form and shape, moreover, Aleister inputted several defense mechanisms to Aiwass.
 * It is unknown if this is a part of Aiwass that can be forcefully drawn out because of Aleister's implementations, or if Aleister made it for it. Aiwass is composed of AIM diffusion fields, and requires certain processes to appear.
 * Accelerator's method in defeating Aiwass was via cutting the signal that was given off by the Misaka Network that guides the AIM diffusion fields in order for Aiwass to appear in the area that they were in, and weakening the crystal, allowing for Accelerator to destroying it through a gunshot. However, Aiwass survives due to Aleister's defense mechanism, and states that even if it was killed it would've returned regardless.
 * As an energy form, Aiwass requires an avatar (霊媒</rb> (</rp>アバター</rt>)</rp>) in order to fully utilize its power in the regular world, though it can compensate for the lack of an avatar to a certain degree if it leaves the planet and enters outer space, following the theory of being an extraterrestrial life form.

Current Bits:
 * Aiwass has displayed shades of being omniscient, being able to tell what's going on thousands of miles away, such as the location of Index, and the upcoming war in Russia. Although, due to its casual attitude it is difficult to tell, as it has shown to be forgetful that it has a defense mechanism, as well as being surprised by Aleister's carefulness in keeping it alive.
 * Furthermore, if Shiokishi is to believed, it is apparently omnipresent, referring to it as being everywhere, at least within Academy City, where the mass of AIM diffusion fields are guided by the Misaka Network allows it to exist.
 * Due to the fact that it itself stated that it surpasses Fuse Kazakiri, whom went toe-to-toe with Archangel Gabriel, it is implied that its power is far above that of an archangel, or most likely, any angel of Christianity.

Current Bits (2):
 * Also, Aiwass mentions that its current body even has a transformation function, though it wasn't shown.
 * Aiwass's powers cannot be described nor comprehended, and is referenced by Accelerator as mysterious vectors.
 * What is known is that it is powerful enough to make anyone it chooses to be knocked out. Its power enables it to bypass Accelerator's black wings as if they were non-existent.
 * It appears with wings and a halo. Its wings are described as glowing platinum. Upon its head was a similarly a halo that glowed a pale platinum and a white core. These mechanism allows the wings to move on their own accord without Aiwass' consent.

Revised Current: Aiwass's exact capabilities aren't fully known, however it is known that it possesses immense power and special qualities as a transcendent being from the deepest regions of the world, close to the Pure World, though the right conditions and certain procedures are required in order for it to exercise that power on the surface. Due to the fact that it itself stated that it surpasses Fuse Kazakiri, whom went toe-to-toe with Archangel Gabriel, it is implied that its power is far above that of an archangel, or most likely, any angel of Christianity.

Aiwass is composed of AIM diffusion fields, and requires certain processes to appear. It appears with wings and a halo. Its wings are described as glowing platinum. Upon its head was a similarly a halo that glowed a pale platinum and a white core. The automatic defense mechanism embedded into Aiwass via the virus allows the wings to move on their own accord without Aiwass' consent.

In addition to the automatic defense mechanism, Aiwass mentioned that it also had a transformation function. Its halo appeared around this time but any other changes weren't known, with the next strike blowing away the downed Accelerator's consciousness. Other protective measures were also built into Aiwass to increase its security and defenses, ensuring it would persist even when Accelerator shot and shattered its core after cutting off the Misaka Network guiding the AIM fields in the surrounding area.

Design evolution
Aiwass' design remains the same throughout the series, and according to Haimura, designed it to look similar to Aleister Crowley.

Quotes

 * (To Accelerator from Volume 19) "I’m the one that once taught the necessary parts of the necessary knowledge to a eccentric magician named Crowley–'Aiwass.'"
 * (To Accelerator) "I wanted you to meet me, so I appeared. Are you dissatisfied?"
 * (To Accelerator after being cut) "Oh, whoops. That was my mistake."
 * (From Volume 19) "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
 * (To Aleister Crowley from Volume 19) "Well, you can still make that fit within the acceptable margin of error, right? But his mentality is much more juvenile than I had expected. He despises himself as evil, but I wonder if he realizes that is just the reverse side of his intense longing for good... And yet the Imagine Breaker that the #1 is chasing after does not take action because he associates himself with either good or evil. That Imagine Breaker is merely acting according to the spirit that is welling up from within him. It is merely that what he does looks like good from the viewpoint of others."
 * (To Aleister Crowley) "There are many different types of heroes... There are those who aren’t told what to do and just move straight ahead following the feelings welling up within... There are those who committed a major crime in the past and try to walk down the right path due to the anguish that crime brings them... And there are those who were chosen by no one and possess none of the characteristics one would expect of a hero and yet become a hero for that one person they care for. Each of those types is the type of person who will always stand back up when knocked to the ground."

Etymology
<!-- Witch (word) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Magic Circle by John William Waterhouse The word witch derives from the Old English nouns wicca /ˈwɪttʃɑː/ "sorcerer, male witch" and wicce /ˈwɪttʃeɪ/ "sorceress, female witch". The word's further origins in Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European are unclear.

Contents  [hide] 1 Germanic etymology 2 Old English 3 From Old to Modern English 4 See also 5 Notes 6 Further reading

Germanic etymology[edit] The Old English verb wiccian has a cognate in Middle Low German wicken (attested from the 13th century, besides wichelen "to bewitch"). The further etymology of this word is problematic. It has no clear cognates in Germanic outside of English and Low German, and there are numerous possibilities for the Indo-European root from which it may have been derived. The OED states that the noun is "apparently" deverbal (derived from wiccian), but for the verb merely states that it is "of obscure origin". Grimm, Deutsches Wörterbuch connects the "Ingvaeonic word" *wikkōn with Gothic weihs "sacred" (Proto-Indo European (PIE) *weik- "to separate, to divide", probably via early Germanic practices of cleromancy such as those reported by Tacitus,[1] [2][3] Grimm also considers *weik- "to curve, bend" (which became wicken "hop, dance") and *weg'h- "to move" (in a sense of "to make mysterious gestures"). R. Lühr[4] connects wigol "prophetic, mantic", wīglian "to practice divination" (Middle Low German wichelen "bewitch", wicker "soothsayer") and suggests Proto-Germanic *wigōn, geminated (c.f. Kluge's law) to *wikkōn. The basic form would then be the feminine, wicce < *wikkæ < *wikkōn with palatalization due to the preceding i and the following *æ < *ōn in early Ingvaeonic. The palatal -cc- /t͡ʃ/ in wicca would then be analogous to the feminine. An alternative possibility is to derive the palatal /t͡ʃ/ directly from the verb wiccian < *wikkija.[5] Lühr conversely favours derivation of this verb from the noun. The American Heritage Dictionary connects PIE *weg'- "rouse" (English wake), and offers the Proto-Germanic reconstruction *wikkjaz "one who wakes the dead".[6] Other suggestions for the underlying root are untenable or widely rejected: Grimm reject a connection with *wek- "speak", suggested by P. Lessiak (ZfDA 53, 1912). Walter William Skeat[7] derived the word from PIE *weid-, Old English wita "wise man, wizard" and witan "to know", considering it a corruption of an earlier *witga. No Old English spelling with -t- is known, and this etymology is not accepted today. NB: Evidence from the Slavic language group suggests that it may be worth revisiting this line of thought: compare Polish wiedźma (witch) / wiedzieć (to know) – the parts of these words highlighted in bold are pronounced the same i.e., roughly vee-edge. The aural similarity to “witch” is striking. The “benefit” of an etymological derivation directly from an Indo-Germanic precursor concept having to do with knowing and/or seeing (e.g., wissen, weise [German], weten [Dutch], videre [Latin], wise, wit [English], wiedzieć, widzieć [Polish] etc.) are: (i) that it works for both “witch” and “wizard”, both of each would mean “the knower or the seer” and (ii) that there is no need to attempt to derive the “s/t” sound from the “g/k” sound in “wicca” and its precursors. Robert Graves in his 1948 The White Goddess, in discussing the willow which was sacred to the Greek goddess Hecate, connects the word to a root *wei- which connotes bending or pliance,[8] by saying: "Its connection with witches is so strong in Northern Europe, that the words 'witch' and 'wicked' are derived from the same ancient word for willow, which also yields 'wicker'." This confounds English and Scandinavian evidence, since the weak root in English has no connection with willows, and Old Norse has no word for "witch" cognate to the English.[9] Old English[edit] Old English also had hægtesse "witch, fury", whence Modern English hag, of uncertain origin, but cognate to German Hexe, from an Old High German haga-zussa, Common Germanic *haga-tusjon- (OED), perhaps from a *tesvian "to mar, damage", meaning "field-damager" (the suggestion of Grimm). The element hag- originally means "fence, wooden enclosure", and hence also "enclosed fields, cultivated land". Other Old English synonyms of wicca and wicce include gealdricge, scinlæce, hellrúne.[citation needed] The Old English plural form for both the masculine and feminine nouns was wiccan ("witches") and wiccecræft was "witchcraft". The earliest recorded use of the word is in the Laws of Ælfred, which date to about 890:[3][10][11] Tha faemnan, the gewuniath onfon gealdorcraeftigan and scinlaecan and wiccan, ne laet thu tha libban. Women who are accustomed to receiving enchanters and sorceresses and witches, do not let them live! In the homilies of the Old English grammarian Ælfric, dating to the late 10th century we find: Ne sceal se cristena befrinan tha fulan wiccan be his gesundfulnysse. A Christian should not consult foul witches concerning his prosperity. In both these examples wiccan is the plural noun, not an adjective. The adjective fulan (foul) can mean "physically unclean" as well as "morally or spiritually unclean" or "wicked". In Old English glossaries the words wicce and wicca are used to gloss such Latin terms as augur,[12] hariolus, conjector, and pythonyssa, all of which mean "diviner", "soothsayer", which suggests a possible role of fortune-teller for the witch in Anglo-Saxon times. The word wicca is associated with animistic healing rites in Halitgar's Latin Penitential where it is stated that Some men are so blind that they bring their offering to earth-fast stone and also to trees and to wellsprings, as the witches teach, and are unwilling to understand how stupidly they do or how that dead stone or that dumb tree might help them or give forth health when they themselves are never able to stir from their place. The phrase swa wiccan tæcaþ ("as the witches teach") seems to be an addition to Halitgar's original, added by an 11th-century Old English translator.[13] From Old to Modern English[edit] The Middle English word wicche did not differentiate between feminine and masculine, however the masculine meaning became less common in Standard English, being replaced by words like "wizard" and "warlock". The modern spelling witch with the medial 't' first appears in the 16th century. In current colloquial English "witch" is almost exclusively applied to women, and the OED has "now only dialectal" for the masculine noun. Figurative use to refer to a bewitching young girl begins in the 18th century,[14] while wiche as a contemptuous term for an old woman is attested since the 15th century. "A witch of Endor" (alluding to 1 Samuel 28:7) as a fanciful term for a medium appears in 19th-century literature. The meaning "an adherent of Wicca" (male or female) is due to Gerald Gardner's purported "Witch Cult", and now appears as a separate meaning of the word also in mainstream dictionaries. For example, Monier-Williams currently distinguishes four meanings of the noun witch, 1. one that is credited with usually malignant supernatural powers; especially: a woman practicing usually black witchcraft often with the aid of a devil or familiar : sorceress – compare warlock 2. an ugly old woman : hag 3. a charming or alluring girl or woman 4. a practitioner of Wicca See also[edit] Etymology of Wicca -->

Principles
There are certain traditions and beliefs that have been carried by witches or held concerning them in the past. An example would be the belief that the devil residing in women's hair.

The stereotypical appearance associated with witches (in western culture) includes a black pointed hat and cloak, as well as a broom used for flight. Expand further
 * Common familiars, including black cats.
 * Live ingredients for wicked witch potions.
 * Stories:, Vasilisa, Fairy Tales

Magic
As an organization, it has been shown that the witches count with proper installations and proper magic practices to their group.
 * Coven Compass (カヴン＝コンパス): A large mobile flying fortress that hovers for about 20 meters on top of the ocean, the mobile fortress is a giant disk made of stone with a diameter of 200 meters and thickness of 10 meters. The top of the disk had sharp lines running in each direction from the center which resemble an actual compass. The top of the fortress is the firing device for the large-scale flash spell that can be used to "fry" invaders, furthermore the fortress is constructed with several defensive measures to prevent anti-flying spells from knocking it down.
 * Magic Potion (魔女の薬): A potion made of different magical plants that can imbue flying abilities to objects like broomsticks by covering them in the potion, though witches can also apply it to their own bodies.
 * Broomsticks: A common witch tool, it can be used to fly if applied with a magic potion. Witches can also use it as a weapon. A fire-like light is lit at the end of the broomstick before shooting a ray of light.
 * Communication spiritual items: Witches use spiritual items to communicate their thoughts at high speed.
 * Ocean control spell: During their battle with the Knights of England, Smartvery commented it would be fun if they took them out with an ocean control spell.

Background
At the time of the Golden Dawn, there were old witch lodges around who felt their place in the world had been taken by the cabal.

Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie: Miracle of Endymion
Witches Marie Spearhead, Mallybath Blackball, and Jane Elves, under the command of Stiyl Magnus, go on a mission to retrieve Meigo Arisa and does battle against Shutaura Sequenzia and her Black Crow Unit. By the climax of the movie, they align themselves with Kamijou Touma's intentions and help prevent the Endymion space elevator from crashing down to earth by releasing its explosive bolts. They later hear the Miracle of Endymion caused by the singing of Arisa and Shutaura as they merge back together. Stiyl carries all three witches as the elevator begins moving.

They later visit and scold Stiyl as he recovers back in England for the danger he puts himself in as he recovers back in England.

British Royal Family Arc
They are formerly introduced as one of the organizations that the Knights of England try to hunt during Carissa's coup d'etat, in that opportunity they could quickly dispatch 100 members to repel their attackers, it should be noted that the "group" of the witches was simply referenced as Witches (魔女たち).

After fighting off the knights, Kanzaki Kaori mentioned on how Necessarius contacted the witches, requesting their assistance in weakening the Curtana Original. The witches for their part complied and after the joint operation Carissa lost half of the power that the Curtana gave her and the Knights of England pretty much lost their Telesma boost.

After damaging Curtana's power the Witches moved their mobile fortress outside England borders for the objective of launching a remote attack on the Buckingham palace. The target was at 500 kilometers and the actual estimated "effective" range of their Coven Compass was of approximately 330 km; yet regardless of that difference the attack was successful. The attack was meant to provide enough distraction, as to hamper Carissa's possibilities of doing an open counterattack on the rebel forces that would try to sneak into the palace. It should be noted that the attack on Buckingham Palace was actually authorized and made with the consent of the third princess Villian.

Known Members

 * Smartvery (スマートヴェリー): While no leader position was properly stated within the witches, it should be noted that other witches requested advisable course of action from her.
 * Marie Spearhead
 * Mallybath Blackball
 * Jane Elves

Trivia

 * The actual full range of the "flash attack" from the Coven Compass was never directly stated, however Smartvery mentioned that 500 kms was a little bit more than 1.5 higher than the actual range of the weapon, meaning that 330 km is only a reasonable estimate born from that comment.

 * Superfluous: 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).

Relation to Personal Reality
Reposition image? Previous 2014
 * 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. 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. Personal Reality can apparently be abused through the AIM diffusion fields, and can apparently be modified through the AIM fields. 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, 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, it is what creates electromagnetic waves that moves the wind turbines when it is not moving when Misaka Mikoto is nearby, and it is the thin field that surrounds Accelerator.
 * When there is interference on the AIM diffusion fields, it can cause a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome. Moreover, if an esper becomes traumatized or incredibly stressed, they may lose control of themselves and are then unable to view reality properly, which would lead to the RSPK Syndrome, the AIM diffusion fields of the esper would affect their surroundings similar to that of an earthquake.

Current 2017:
 * Personal Realities are irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Realities are the source of all phenomena manifested by an esper in the real world. 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. Personal Realities can also be abused via an interference made to the AIM diffusion field and can also be modified through this as well. 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, 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, the one emitted by Misaka Mikoto that allows her the ability to produce electromagnetic waves that can move nearby wind turbines and the one that acts as a thin field that surrounds Accelerator's body.
 * 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. 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 ), 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.

Revision 2017:
 * Deep connection between AIM and PR (1)
 * Previous: 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.
 * Current: Personal Realities are irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Realities are the source of all phenomena manifested by an esper in the real world.
 * Revision: Personal Realities are irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Realities are the source of esper abilities and all phenomena manifested by espers in the real world.
 * Deep connection between AIM and PR (2)
 * Previous: 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, it can be assumed that is due to the esper's Personal Reality.
 * Current: 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, it can be assumed that is due to the esper's Personal Reality.
 * Revision: Since an AIM diffusion field is unique to the esper emitting it, (ExtraRef) it can be assumed that this is due to the esper's Personal Reality.
 * Revision (2): Following on from this, it would be apt to refer to AIM diffusion fields as a conduit through which an esper's Personal Reality affects the real world (and manifests their abilities).
 * Interference on PR via AIM
 * Previous: 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 . Personal Reality can apparently be abused through the AIM diffusion fields, and can apparently be modified through the AIM fields.
 * Current: 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 . Personal Realities can also be abused via an interference made to the AIM diffusion field and can also be modified through this as well.
 * Revision: The connection between Personal Reality and AIM diffusion fields can be exploited in several ways. Analysis of a person's AIM diffusion field can be used to figure out the nature of their Personal Reality and in turn, investigate their personality and behavioral traits. It is also possible to influence a person's Personal Reality via interference with/to their AIM diffusion field, and at a certain level, it is apparently possible to modify a Personal Reality through it.

 * Previous: When there is interference on the AIM diffusion fields, it can cause a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome. Moreover, if an esper becomes traumatized or incredibly stressed, they may lose control of themselves and are then unable to view reality properly, which would lead to the RSPK Syndrome, the AIM diffusion fields of the esper would affect their surroundings similar to that of an earthquake.
 * Current: 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. 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 ), 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.
 * Revision: In cases of RSPK Syndrome, an esper becomes stressed or traumatized to the point of being unable to view reality properly and loses control over their Personal Reality, which then affects the esper's surroundings through their AIM diffusion field in a manner similar to an earthquake. Additionally, interference to AIM diffusion fields can lead to a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome.

Revision Assembly:

Personal Realities are irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Realities are the source of esper abilities and all phenomena manifested by espers in the real world. Since an AIM diffusion field is unique to the esper emitting it, (ExtraRef) it can be assumed that this is due to the esper's Personal Reality.

In cases of RSPK Syndrome, an esper becomes stressed or traumatized to the point of being unable to view reality properly and loses control over their Personal Reality, which then affects the esper's surroundings through their AIM diffusion field in a manner similar to that of a poltergeist (hence the alternative term used to refer to the condition). Additionally, interference to AIM diffusion fields can lead to a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome.

The connection between Personal Reality and AIM diffusion fields can be exploited in several ways. Analysis of a person's AIM diffusion field can be used to figure out the nature of their Personal Reality and in turn, investigate their personality and behavioral traits. It is also possible to influence a person's Personal Reality via interference with/to their AIM diffusion field, and at a certain level, it is apparently possible to modify a Personal Reality through it.

Following on from this, it would be apt to refer to AIM diffusion fields as a conduit through which an esper's Personal Reality affects the real world and manifests their abilities.

Relation to magic

 * Previous: 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.
 * Previous (2): 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.


 * In Progress: By themselves, AIM diffusion fields are not harmful to magicians.(Ref) Despite the massive aggregation of AIM diffusion fields in Academy City, magicians are not harmed when they enter the city or use magic within it.(Ref) Even if they are a hybrid, the presence of AIM by itself will not harm them.(Ref) However if an esper uses magic (or a magician somehow uses an esper ability), they would suffer injury due to the fact that magic and esper abilities operate through different, conflicting laws, leading to a damaging rejection reaction.(Ref)
 * In Progress (2): However when a major AIM diffusion field aggregation such as the Imaginary Number District is 'brought out' into the world, bringing the different laws along with it, it produces an effect similar to the aforementioned rejection reaction within the region it covers.    A pressure exerted which affects all magicians and magical items within the area covered.   Magicians will lose control of their magic, leading self-destruction,    and magic-based objects and structures would similarly collapse. The Imaginary Number District was developed in order to bring about this phenomena,  and did so with the manifestation of Fuse Kazakiri.

Artificial Angels
Another important aspect of AIM Diffusion Field aggregations is the capacity to create and maintain certain AIM-based entities.(Refs: V6Ch3,4-3,Railgun12,19-3-4,NT7-4-1)

Artificial Angels

So far shown, artificial angels, or more precisely, artificial beings, since they do not follow the laws of any religion, are formed through the AIM diffusion fields of espers. The likes of Kazakiri Hyouka, which is molded by Aleister Crowley, 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.
 * One type are beings which are sometimes referred to as Artificial Angels (人工天使), due to displaying similarities to conventional angels. These include traits such as a core (tethering them to the physical world when manifested), (ref: 19-4-3/5, 21-7-8?) halos and wings,  as well as residing in another, unseen 'realm like angels in heaven. Unlike those angels though, these beings don't follow the laws of any religion, instead being formed through the AIM diffusion fields, something falling within the realm of science. (Additional Ref?) Examples of these artificial angels include Kazakiri Hyouka, who was born in the Imaginary Number District and molded by Aleister Crowley,  with the angelic form Fuse Kazakiri,    and the AIM Burst, an aggregation of the AIM diffusion fields of the espers connected to the Level Upper Network, after Kiyama Harumi lost control of it.

Capabilities:
 * 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, whilst Kazakiri Hyouka exhibit tremendous self-regeneration and strength, among others.
 * Artificial Angels tend to possess formidable capabilities. The AIM Burst could use the abilities of every esper connected to the Level Upper Network as well as growing and regenerating while connected and with its core intact.  Kazakiri Hyouka exhibited tremendous strength and self-regeneration, and displayed even greater power as Fuse Kazakiri.

Aiwass

The most notable AIM-related being is the entity known as Aiwass, an 'angel' from the deepest layer of the world, beyond the phases of religion and magic. Similar to artificial angels such as Fuse Kazakiri, whose purpose was to have it take shape, Aiwass also requires a vast amount of AIM to manifest himself on the 'surface'. (Differences) Aiwass's power far exceeds that of Fuse Kazakiri, overwhelming Accelerator and Kamijou Touma in one-sided clashes. Due to its immense power and unique position as a being from the deepest layer of the world, it forms a key part of Aleister's anti-Magic God countermeasures and holds the potential to destroy the phases.

Awakening

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.

AIM thought being

Another type of AIM-based entity is an AIM thought being. These beings are similar to 'artificial angels' in that they are conscious existences tied to the AIM diffusion fields. They differ from 'artificial angels' in that they lack physical or visible bodies, though they are still capable of communicating. An AIM-based Shading Computer is capable of generating and sustaining an AIM thought being within the AIM diffusion fields it uses as a medium, and as long as the processor and medium that sustains the thought being exists, it can be rebooted/revived. The only example seen so far is Yakumi Hisako who became an AIM thought being by having her consciousness transferred to a Shading Computer using Academy City's AIM diffusion fields as a medium, which was also being used for Agitate Halation, with her physical body being devoured by man-eating cockroaches in order to facilitate the transfer. After becoming an existence fixed in the city's AIM diffusion fields, she sought to remove the linchpin in order to facilitate a transfer to a further medium.

AIM entities and their connection to the AIM fields:
 * Artificial angels only manifest within areas covered by the AIM diffusion fields, and have a core which tethers them to the physical world.(R12)(V6)(V19)
 * Vulnerable to influence through tampering with the fields.
 * AIM entities are closely linked to the diffusion fields. They are usually bound to them and cannot materialize in the physical world without their presence.
 * AIM entities are tied to the AIM fields and those with the ability to physically manifest themselves/can only do so where the AIM field covers/within the areas covered by the AIM fields
 * Additionally, due to the connection to the AIM fields, it is possible to manipulate them by manipulating the diffusion fields

AIM entities are closely linked to the AIM diffusion fields and usually dwell within them. (V6) Those with the ability to physically manifest themselves are usually only able to do so within areas covered by the diffusion fields.(V6, V19) Additionally, their connection with the AIM diffusion fields means that it is possible to influence their form and actions by tampering with those diffusion fields.

AIM entities and Imagine Breaker:
 * Previous: 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.
 * Revised: Being formed from aggregations of AIM diffusion fields, such entities are vulnerable to Imagine Breaker. Kazakiri Hyouka was aware that she'd be erased if she came into contact with it, and its threat played a key role in the formation of her consciousness in the first place. Yakumi Hisako's form as an AIM thought being was destroyed in a single strike and her consciousness only survived due to a secret back-up she prepared on a different medium. The effects of the Imagine Breaker on Aiwass haven't been shown, though it is apparently required to access Aiwass's core, together with Accelerator.

Revised Version (with Notes)
An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM (<rb>無自覚</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>AIM</rt><rp>) </rp>), is a term used to refer to the phenomena where an esper involuntarily/unconsciously emits an invisible energy field from their body, known as an AIM Diffusion Field (AIM拡散力場).

Closely connected to the Personal Reality that is the source of their ability, it is an esper's unconscious interference against reality. Differing between espers and usually having microscopic effects, it can only detected through the use of machines or specialized espers.

Principles


AIM is a weak energy that is sub/unconsciously emitted by espers. Much like how living beings radiate body heat, this energy emanates from the esper's body into their surroundings, forming what is known as an AIM diffusion field. These fields produce tiny effects on the regions they cover.

The form which an AIM diffusion field takes and the effect it has differs depending on the type of ability the esper possesses. For example, pyrokinesists produce heat, telekinetics/telekinesists exert pressure, electromasters release electromagnetic fields etc. The attraction of vampires by Deep Blood is also a likely example of this phenomena.
 * NOTE: Expand unique, similar, individual aspects

When the AIM diffusion fields of espers with the same type of ability overlap, AIM diffusion field resonance can occur, which increases their effects on the surrounding area.(tweak)

As the effects of the AIM diffusion fields are usually microscopic in scale, AIM cannot be detected by the five conventional senses. It can only be detected through the use of machines, precision measuring devices or by certain espers, either through resonance or specific abilities. However in some cases under normal circumstances, certain secondary effects resulting from the effects of the AIM diffusion fields on their surroundings can be observed. An example of this would be wind turbines turning due to the electromagnetic fields released by Misaka Mikoto.

There are a number of espers who have abilities which allow them to sense and even manipulate AIM. One notable esper of this kind is Takitsubo Rikou, whose ability AIM Stalker allows her to detect and track the AIM of espers whose AIM diffusion fields she has memorized. She also has the potential to be able to use an esper's AIM diffusion field to manipulate their ability and Personal Reality.
 * NT12?
 * 19-4-4?

Due to their supernatural origin, the Imagine Breaker can nullify the parts of AIM diffusion fields it touches, and their effects with it. (Ref)(Touma only esper without one emitted)(Cite, presumption) The effects of the Imagine Breaker on the AIM diffusion fields can be used as a way to monitor its power.

Relation to Personal Reality
Personal Realities are irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Realities are the source of esper abilities and all phenomena manifested by espers in the real world. Since an AIM diffusion field is unique to the esper emitting it, (ExtraRef) it can be assumed that this is due to the esper's Personal Reality.

In cases of RSPK Syndrome, an esper becomes stressed or traumatized to the point of being unable to view reality properly and loses control over their Personal Reality, which then affects the esper's surroundings through their AIM diffusion field in a manner similar to that of a poltergeist (hence the alternative term used to refer to the condition). Additionally, interference to AIM diffusion fields can lead to a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome.

The connection between Personal Reality and AIM diffusion fields can be exploited in several ways. Analysis of a person's AIM diffusion field can be used to figure out the nature of their Personal Reality and in turn, investigate their personality and behavioral traits. It is also possible to influence a person's Personal Reality via interference with/to their AIM diffusion field, and at a certain level, it is apparently possible to modify a Personal Reality through it.

Following on from this, it would be apt to refer to AIM diffusion fields as a conduit through which an esper's Personal Reality affects the real world and manifests their abilities.

Relation to Magic
By themselves, AIM diffusion fields are not usually harmful to magicians.(Ref) Despite the massive aggregation of AIM diffusion fields in Academy City, magicians are not harmed when they enter the city or use magic within it.(Ref) Even if they are a hybrid, the presence of AIM by itself will not harm them.(Ref) However if an esper uses magic (or a magician somehow uses an esper ability), they would suffer injury due to the fact that magic and esper abilities operate through different, conflicting laws, leading to a damaging rejection reaction.(Ref-V1,V4)

When a major AIM diffusion field aggregation such as the Imaginary Number District is 'brought out' into the world, bringing the different laws along with it and disrupting the existing laws, it produces an effect similar to the aforementioned rejection reaction within the region it covers. A pressure is exerted which affects all magicians and magical items within that region. Magicians within lose control of their magic, leading self-destruction,   and magic-based objects and structures would similarly collapse. The Imaginary Number District was developed in order to bring about this phenomena, and did so with the manifestation of Fuse Kazakiri.

Research and Technology
As AIM is deeply connected to esper abilities and Personal Reality, there are many scientists and researchers, such as Kiyama Harumi, who devote themselves to studying it,   with numerous theses written on the subject,  and various facilities dedicated to such studies, like the AIM Analytic Research Center. 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. Data on espers' AIM diffusion fields are stored in the Bank.

Uses
Due to their connection, AIM diffusion fields are used as a means to investigate espers' Personal Realities, personalities and behavioral traits. (1st or 3rd)

As AIM diffusion fields are a common denominator between espers, it is possible to construct brainwave networks between espers with the same brainwave patterns, such as the Level Upper Network between users of the Level Upper(Ref) and the Misaka Network between the Sisters.(Ref) As shown in the case of the latter, brainwave networks can be used as a control mechanism to guide the aggregated AIM diffusion fields.(Ref)

Since AIM diffusion fields follow the principles of, it is possible to use them as a medium for a Shading Computer. The Shading Computer requires a large amount of a suitable medium, constantly controlled and influenced, and ideally within an isolated container. With one made using AIM diffusion fields, there are several risks and effects. As even the smallest movements of the target fluid are used to perform calculations, it is possible for espers whose AIM diffusion fields are being used to influence the operations of the Shading Computer through that connection, even if they are a Level 0. Additionally, changes in pressure can flow back and affect the espers involved, potentially altering their state of mind or inputting information into them. This effect was exploited during the Agitate Halation Project to send 'revelations' and manipulate the target 'heroes. The processing power and medium of an AIM-based Shading Computer is also capable of sustaining an AIM thought being within the diffusion fields.

Counters
There have 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.

There are certain devices which are meant to interfere with AIM diffusion fields in order to disrupt the use of esper abilities within their area of effect. One example is the AIM Jammer, which emits special electromagnetic waves and diffusively reflects an esper's AIM diffusion field, causing the esper to interfere with their own power. Abilities using complex calculations are essentially prone to disruption from an AIM Jammer, and the danger of losing control and sustaining serious injury increases the more an esper requires such calculations.

STUDY developed a space-based missile weapon, designed to work in conjunction with Janie's Diffusion Ghost, intended to release transmitters for her ability into the atmosphere over Academy City and send it out of control to cause a fissive chain reaction in the AIM diffusion fields in Academy City, as a last resort to kill the city's espers during their Silent Party.

Aggregations
There are a number of effects which occur due to aggregations of AIM diffusion fields.

One important phenomena which can occur when AIM diffusion fields gather is AIM Diffusion Field Resonance. It involves espers in close proximity and with the same type of AIM diffusion field resonating with each other, which causes the effects of the AIM diffusion fields to become more prominent. Normally, this phenomena is relatively harmless and can be used by certain espers to detect others with the same ability in the vicinity. However if an overloaded esper is involved, it can cause an outbreak of RSPK Syndrome.

However the prime example of an AIM diffusion field aggregation is the Imaginary Number District–Five Elements Institution, a separate realm existing in the same location as Academy City, formed from the AIM diffusion fields of the 2.3 million espers residing there. The Imaginary Number District plays a key role in Aleister Crowley's plans, being a means which can be used to achieve his intermediary and ultimate goals.

AIM-based Entities
Another important aspect of AIM Diffusion Field aggregations is the capacity to create and maintain certain AIM-based entities. (Note denizens of Imaginary Number District and formation theory here?)

One type are beings which are sometimes referred to as Artificial Angels (人工天使), due to displaying similarities to conventional angels. These include traits such as a core (tethering them to the physical world when manifested), (ref: 19-4-3/5, 21-7-8?) halos and wings,  as well as residing in another, unseen 'realm' like angels in heaven. Unlike those angels though, these beings don't follow the laws of any religion, instead being formed through the AIM diffusion fields, something falling within the realm of science. (Additional Ref?) Examples of these artificial angels include Kazakiri Hyouka, who was born in the Imaginary Number District and molded by Aleister Crowley, with the angelic form Fuse Kazakiri,     and the AIM Burst, an aggregation of the AIM diffusion fields of the espers connected to the Level Upper Network, after Kiyama Harumi lost control of it.

Artificial Angels tend to possess formidable capabilities. The AIM Burst could use the abilities of every esper connected to the Level Upper Network as well as growing and regenerating while connected and with its core intact. Kazakiri Hyouka exhibited tremendous strength and self-regeneration, and displayed even greater power as Fuse Kazakiri.

Another type of AIM-based entity is an AIM thought being. These beings are similar to 'artificial angels' in that they are conscious existences tied to the AIM diffusion fields. They differ from 'artificial angels' in that they lack physical or visible bodies, though they are still capable of communicating. An AIM-based Shading Computer is capable of generating and sustaining an AIM thought being within the AIM diffusion fields it uses as a medium, and as long as the processor and medium that sustains the thought being exists, it can be rebooted/revived. The only example seen so far is Yakumi Hisako who became an AIM thought being by having her consciousness transferred to a Shading Computer using Academy City's AIM diffusion fields as a medium, which was also being used for Agitate Halation, with her physical body being devoured by man-eating cockroaches in order to facilitate the transfer. After becoming an existence fixed in the city's AIM diffusion fields, she sought to remove the linchpin in order to facilitate a transfer to a further medium.

The most notable AIM-related being is the entity known as Aiwass, an 'angel' from the deepest layer of the world, beyond the phases of religion and magic. Similar to artificial angels such as Fuse Kazakiri, whose purpose was to have it take shape, Aiwass also requires a vast amount of AIM to manifest himself on the 'surface'. (Differences) Aiwass's power far exceeds that of Fuse Kazakiri, overwhelming Accelerator and Kamijou Touma in one-sided clashes. Due to its immense power and unique position as a being from the deepest layer of the world, it forms a key part of Aleister's anti-Magic God countermeasures and holds the potential to destroy the phases.

AIM entities are closely linked to the AIM diffusion fields and usually dwell within them. (V6) Those with the ability to physically manifest themselves are usually only able to do so within areas covered by the diffusion fields.(V6, V19) Additionally, their connection with the AIM diffusion fields means that it is possible to influence their form and actions by tampering with those diffusion fields.
 * Have a core which tethers them to the physical world.(R12)(V6)(V19)

Being formed from aggregations of AIM diffusion fields, AIM-based entities are vulnerable to Imagine Breaker. Kazakiri Hyouka was aware that she'd be erased if she came into contact with it, and its threat played a key role in the formation of her consciousness in the first place. Yakumi Hisako's form as an AIM thought being was destroyed in a single strike and her consciousness only survived due to a secret back-up she prepared on a different medium. The effects of the Imagine Breaker on Aiwass haven't been shown, though it is apparently required to access Aiwass's core, together with Accelerator.

Previous (13/10/2017)
Mana (魔力) is the energy that allows magicians to use magic.

Principles: Mana exists in all forms of life, not just magicians, although they are the only ones who use it. It has been explicitly stated one method of creating mana is by processing a person's inner life force (生命力), similar to how crude oil is refined into other substances. The various schools of magic, for example Nordic and Shinto styles, requires different 'kinds' of mana for casting that other styles might not use.

There is 'natural' mana that exists within the earth itself, which some magicians or magical objects, such as the grimoires, draw their power from, in the form of "leylines". Mana is incompatible with the AIM fields that espers produce, as a result, whenever an esper performs magic he/she becomes severly injured.

Mana can be "inserted" into objects following complicated rituals, which can give birth to "magical items" that possess magical properties on their own, for example in one opportunity Index references the ritual needed to add power to a holy cross.

It has been stated that as a consequence of having trained their magical powers, Magician's Mana is so much stronger than the average person that a Magician can easily tell who is a Magic user and who is not just by standing close to them.

Experts theorize that since Mana comes from the caster's life force, then immortal beings would possess an infinite amount of Mana, having access to unlimited and powerful magic that no magician would be able to fight against. This is one reason why vampires are thought to be invincible by various people on the Magic Side.

Current (26/12/2017)
Mana (魔力) is a type of energy that is used by magicians to power the supernatural mechanisms of magic.

Principles: Mana is a type of energy that is said to exist in all forms of life. However, it is to note that magicians are the only lifeforms capable of utilizing it for practical related tasks. It has been stated explicitly that one method of generating mana is to perform the process of converting a living organism's inner life force (生命力) into it. The process of this conversion is this is similar to how crude oil can be refined into other substances, which allows for it to be used for different things and in different ways. There are various schools of magic that each utilize their own forms of mana for work. Two notable examples of such schools are the Nordic and Shinto styles, which each require particular 'kinds' of mana for casting that other styles might not use.

There is said to exists a naturally generated form of mana that can be found within the earth itself. This form of mana can be used by certain magicians and magical objects as a power source for their magical activity. When they use this mana, its visual representation will usually appear in the form of "leylines". The leylines commonly helps the magician identify the mana they are using as being a type that is naturally generated within the earth.

Every form of mana is said to be incompatible with AIM, which is an energy emitted from an esper's body. Because of its incompatibility with AIM, an esper attempting to perform magic will suffer from severe injuries as a result. Mana is capable of being inserted into objects however, and this is done through the use of complex rituals. These rituals can give birth to "magical items" that possess magical properties of their own. For example: at one opportunity, Index had referenced the ritual needed to add power to a holy cross.

As a consequence of having trained to develop and/or improve their magical performance, the strength of a magician's mana is greater than that of an average person. This fact interestingly allows a magician to detect other magicians in close range, which is useful as it helps them determine as to who is a magician and who isn't.

Many experts in the field of magic have theorized and concluded that since the source of mana is the caster's life force, immortal beings by logic, should possess an infinite supply of mana. This should then allow them access to being capable of generating an infinite set of different magical effects; with their magical capacity being far beyond that of any ordinary magician. This is one of the many reasons as to why vampires are thought to be invincible by many within the Magic Side.
