Booster

A Booster (ブースター) is a tool developed by Usamimi in the Toaru Majutsu no Index Struggle Battle videogame, to reinforce the ability of the player known as Imagine Shadow.

Basics
As the name suggests, it enhances the effectiveness of the function of, apparently, any ability that the player replicates, even magic, which even Usamimi finds surprising. It was given by Usamimi to follow the player, who was still inexperienced with their ability.

The Boosters give status bonuses depending on the power status that each card has in the game. The three basic types of Boosters are the Normal, Science, and Magic Boosters. Normal Boosters does not give an increase or decrease in status. Science Boosters have a high affinity to espers, and strengthens science side cards and weakens magic side cards. Likewise, the Magic Boosters have a high affinity to magicians, and strengthens magic side cards and weakens science side cards. Apparently, all Boosters apart from the Normal have the capability in growing in strength.

Other Boosters also exist, though they can only be obtained in special events in the game.
