Ch1

 * Index's Daily Life : Alone in Touma's apartment, Index is happily helping herself to a pudding. She then notices something written on the side - 'Do Not Eat'.


 * I'll make him pay : Index thinks to herself about how Touma is always going off and leaving her alone. Annoyed, Index decides to make him pay when he gets back. At that moment, Touma returns and Index greets him with a smile.

Such misfortune, (つい乙ないんだよ?, Tsui otsu nai nda yo, ): As Index welcomes Touma back, she notices he's hurt. Touma says its just a scratch but reveals something which concerns Index even more - he wasn't able to get any ingredients for dinner.


 * The original intent is important : After biting Touma, Index complains that he's changed, saying that he used to prepare delicious food when they met. She tells him to remember the time when they met, to which Touma asks why she's talking like they are a couple. Index then assumes the position she was in on the railings when they met, saying that he shouldn't forget the original intent.


 * Perfect Memory : In response to Index's complaints of hunger, Touma decides to go to the convenience store. Index asks if she can come along but Touma says he's going alone to her disappointment. Index says that if she goes they won't forget anything because of her perfect memory.


 * Moment of Doubt : At the store, Index can't decide between Omusoba and Omuyashi. Touma picks the Omuyashi and says he'll share the Omusoba with her. Index then asks if he'll forgive her if she eats it all.


 * Exactly the same! (もつくり!?): Index brings Touma a yakisoba-pan, the same food from when they first met. Thinking that it wasn't quite the same as the one then, Index steps on it.


 * For testing purposes (ためしに, Tameshi ni): As Touma thinks about his ever-decreasing funds, he wonders if Index is actually a goddess of poverty and touches her forehead to see if his Imagine Breaker can dispel it.

Imagine Breaker (イマジンブレイカー): With Index full and content, Touma remembers the pudding he had left in the fridge and looks for it. Index chooses this moment to confess, saying that Touma thought he'd put it in the fridge but she'd dispelled that thought with her spoon, to his annoyance.

Ch2

 * The Usual Index-san : Index greets Maika, lively as usual, trying to escape from the cleaning robots as usual


 * It's a Good Plan : After being saved (killing time at Touma isn't home) Index tells Maika she's going out to buy a replacement pudding, Maika supposes Touma worked hard to buy it but Index was impatient and ate it, Index praises her supposition with a smile


 * Kanzaki Kaori's Daily Life : While walking about Kanzaki spots Index, watching from behind a corner Kanzaki wonders what she's doing walking round when she's a target, thinks about how adorable she looks as always while Kuroko and Uiharu whisper to each other behind her


 * Trial : Wondering where she is going, Kanzaki thinks it might be a chance to get along with her again, tries to approach but Index starts talking to Maika, Maika gets a chill from Kanzaki's stare


 * Fair Exchange : Maika asks where Index intends to buy it from and asks how she plans to pay for it, Index holds up Sphinx (and it salutes - OK with it?)


 * Trial 2 : Seeing Index's problem Kanzaki plans to offer her purse, as she goes to offer it Maika offers to pay and have Touma pay her back later, Kanzaki curls up upset


 * Trial 3 : As Index asks Maika how to enter the bakery's door (automatic), Kanzaki seizes a chance and uses Nanansen to cut down the door, Maika in shock while Index and Kanzaki pleased (awesome/alright)


 * I did my best : Seeing Index walk away with her pudding, Kanzaki prepares to get going pleased at having done her part, thinking of Stiyl when he pops up behind her asking what she's doing there


 * Like Attracts Like : Kanzaki asks what he's doing, he says he's on an important job as always, taking care of Index (same), decides to buy same pudding (good idea)


 * Chew on happiness, Touma : Touma returns, Index gives him the replacement pudding, his happiness disappears when he learns Maika will be charging him for it.

Ch3

 * Misaka Mikoto's Daily Life : Mikoto reading magazine for no reason, horoscopes section, thinking about only love fortunes, stupid and untrue but ends up buying it anyway


 * Preemptive Attack : Thinking about what to do with it, bumps into Index, thinking she's the little girl following Touma around but before she can say it Index calls her the short-haired girl following Touma around (rude)


 * That Idiot: Tells Index to stop calling her by a weird nickname, saying it's bad enough with that idiot, Index asks if it is OK to call someone "that idiot", Mikoto protests that it isn't what she meant


 * Index-san's Fortune for Today: Mikoto treats Index to a meal in exchange for not telling Touma what they talked about earlier, Index comments her food fortune is good today


 * A Lady's Shyness : Index supposes Mikoto doesn't want anyone knowing about the book behind her back, Mikoto says it's a book on horoscopes but says about how she shouldn't say seeing as it's embarrassing/maiden in love stuff, Index is reading regardless and not paying attention


 * A Fantasy for Good Luck : Index enthusiastic, going on about astrology and lucky charms, Mikoto thinks about Touma's reaction if he knew she was doing lucky charms, Out-loud reaction to fantasy


 * Index-san's Fantasy : Index doing a lucky charm, tells Mikoto they can't talking while doing it, Index thinking about wanting to say stuff to Touma but her thoughts drift towards today's meal


 * Any Place, Any Time : Mikoto lets Index keep the book since she likes it, says she doesn't know what Kuroko would do if she saw her with it, startled to find that Kuroko has sat down next to her


 * I Understand It : Mikoto asks Kuroko how she knew how she was there (scent), Index gets it (not), says book was unnecessary and is rooting for them, the two are confused, Index thinks the two are going out


 * No And No : Mikoto protests and tries to tell Index she's made a mistake, Index says about same-gender relationships being accepted in England and she isn't prejudiced against them (Virgin Mary), Mikoto asks Kuroko for help but she's not listening either (partners)


 * Fortune : Kuroko tries to drag Mikoto away to love nest, Mikoto asks for help from Index since it was her fault, Index instead wishes for them to have a good time with a smile

Character designs

 * Oumi Shuri - Based on child ninja from Dororo/The Legend of Kamui.

Anime
Index
 * Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai (Index, seiyuu, sister, Maria, similar outfit, Ep5 debut)
 * Mayoi Neko Overrun!, Umenomori Chise (same seiyuu as Index), comments Takumi born with misfortune, Fumio possesses right hand negating luck (Index-like voice)
 * Zero no Tsuhaima, Louise, outfit similar to Index, similar traits (chest complex, short, long hair, harm Saito when angry)
 * Kamijou Touma/Misc. Extracts: Being the main character of Toaru Majutsu no Index, allows Touma to be referenced by other works in media, although to a somewhat lesser extent than Misaka Mikoto. Most notably he is often referred to in works where his "Break your illusions" is satirized.
 * An eyecatch at episode 11 of the anime Nyan_Koi! features the main protagonist asking the viewer who is the person that looks like him – as he has similar features to Touma, and states that it is just the viewer's imagination and almost says that he will use his Imagine Breaker before being cut-off.
 * In the final episode of the flash anime Haiyore Nyaruko-san, Nyaruko tells the main male character that she used to blow-up the make-believe games of her fellow playmates when she attended space kindergarten; she later utters a similar phrase to Touma's "break that illusion" and later references Touma's Imagine Breaker, with Touma's silhouette as well as a red logo similar to Toaru Majutsu no Index title's style appearing on screen. ◾Touma is referenced once more in the second season of the anime series, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W in the sixth episode when Kuune, the elder cousin of Cthugian Kuuko attempts to woo her younger sister into incestuous marriage. She declares that she will "destroy that illusion" of her cousin's due to her (fake) engagement to the protagonist, Mahiro. A similar red magical circle appears on the screen when she delivers her strike. Kuune is voiced by Ryoka Yuzuki who also voiced Oriana Thomson in Toaru Majutsu no Index II.
 * In the third episode of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, the main character Makoto Niwa recites Touma's infamous line, although he clenches his left fist.
 * In the Drama CD of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, the voice actress who does Index, Yuka Iguchi who there plays a Character named Maria references Index several times while Maria herself is supposed to be working as a voice actress; eventually coming to the point where she uses the "I'll destroy that illusion of yours" line.
 * In the 13th episode of Mayoi Neko Overrun!, as the heroines are reflecting on the events during the series, when talking about the main characters misfortune the Imagine Breaker is referenced when one of them says, "Your right hand is probably nullifying something like the power of good luck".

Shokuhou Misaki

 * Misaki doesn't trust anyone whose mind she cannot read, with only one known exception.
 * Misaki doesn't trust people whose mind she cannot read, with one exception.

On a couple of occasions, when embarrassed, Misaki has shown to give an explanation as an excuse, but start ranting when pressed further.

Vase

 * Attaching to car door to deal with potential witnesses.
 * Many groups at once, magicians mixed in such that crushing one would give one away
 * Use means of using Stonehenge not known to slip past Anglican's radar.
 * Once witnesseses sealed, crush Anglicans - method
 * Flings jewel into Anglican's gut, focus on next target
 * Not a chance head on - all sorts of people mixed around Stonehenge
 * Magician assume team notice if something happened to other team. That team cause commotion.
 * Attacker cause common symptom in everyone - immediately detectable
 * Not one of those two - can slip past surveillance, e.g. method to ensure no one else notice someone collapsing (appropriate for type of person putting civilians in danger to use them in place of sensors) - why stop sealing off witnesses before done
 * Could have been handled more easily - Stonehenge related to course of sun through sky - if relic box and trapezohedron in centre, summon Nyarlathotep with high quality, risk danger but slaughter all enemies. Meaningless as if simply core of Cthulhu Mythos spell wouldn't be able to reach the lost system.
 * Attacked two or three more groups, Anglicans not knowing what was happening, isolated/picked off one by one, gather in centre of circle of stones
 * Interfere with Stonehenge with experimental data (no hint of history, tradition, style or magic)
 * Existence of lost system proper system - correcting from incorrect state, loss in confusion something created by mistake, don't hesitate over destruction
 * Paused, subordinate asks what it is, leaves it to him, assuming enemy will soon arrive, Amakusa arrive
 * Sent up flare when scouts detected, Amakusa park some distance away and walk, run up hill towards Stonehenge, alerting other groups
 * Battle between Dusk/Amakusa, group focus and charge at Vase from different directions, Itsuwa following moment later (magicians charge to cut off path)
 * Invoke the trapezohedron, Amakusas try to shift to defensive stances, struck by lightning from black cloud, others except Itsuwa collapse
 * Itsuwa prepares to throw spear, bit thumb and draw X on handle with blood, symbol of past saint, St. Andrew's lightning accurately striking, throws spear (attacked by lightning), increased accuracy and lighting absorbed, strikes Vase's hand holding the jewel
 * Instinctively held hands to cover face when saw spear, stabbed right hand holding jewel, light ends ceremony, smoke disperses, jewel flies in air, Itsuwa runs forward but sees Vase bend back looking at jewel and open mouth wide, Itsuwa realizes but couldn't reach spear in time, catches jewel in mouth and swallows, summon begins again, stares at Itsuwa gaving a thin mocking smile like the evil god
 * Roar exploding like lighting due to Freadia's attack, knocked out

Principles

 * Various different methods used around Stonehenge as actual reason for existing not known (opening to take advantage of).
 * May have been originally a single proper way to use it - not cared about now. Different theories like different functions of Swiss Army knife, one chooses the most convenient interpretation, not hard to use hundred distinct types of magic with single symbol (like trick art), Anglicans using it but no guarantee found every last interpretation (changing depending on beholder, possibilities endless), can find a use not expected and slip past eyes of guards like a new computer virus
 * Potential use - related to course of sun, relic viewed as box, trapezohedron in centre, summon Nyarlathotep with high quality, risk exposing group to danger but violence slaughters whole defending force
 * Input data without religious basis

Abilities

 * Curses

Equipment
Wanting to get back at the Amakusa for deceiving her, Freadia takes a set of armor from the Sword Sanctuary


 * Deceiving body to maximize power - potentially fatal


 * Sword Sanctuary - weapons storehouse with dangerous tools and tricky spiritual items, none with normal design and destruction along with success (like gun with risk of exploding, plane at risk of crashing)
 * Spiritual item designed like western armour, customization worker expert but can't handle internal structure without eliminating reason it is useful
 * Prototype for special type of surgical armour, based on official model used by knights, normally magic power passed to armour to increase mobility, based on opposite concept, doubles wearer's magic power up to absolute limit
 * Magic about knowledge/skill, creativity matters most while inherent talent and potential less important, magic power acts as foundational driving force, if total amount increased options increased e.g. Saints drawing out portion of Son of God's power
 * Freadia - didn't need to go that far, only needed to become joker which could singlehandedly defeat everyone else on battlefield
 * Magic power obtained by converting life force, armour messes with magic power directly so risk of interfering with life force too (life), knights refused to make it standard equipment
 * Cold, mechanical like movements, no expression
 * Run close to 50m in single breath, shortest/quickest/best route, loud sound of footsteps seem to arrive moment after she does
 * Eerie black-purple smoke compressed into claw extending from fingers of gauntlet, claws metre-long and look more like swords, no blood produced from slice wound (2x3), strength leave core of body/legs, (rapier grabbed) no pursuit, swinging claw downwards extending to 10 times previous length, high-pitched noise as clash, strength/pressure causing creaking from back pressed against ground.
 * Claws burst, sizzling sound, smoke-like substance towards boy, insides wriggle like worm beneath flesh/skin, blood from mouth/nose - same as crystal radio using curse of jewel bringing death to owner, density different, cuts straight through defensive magical symbols, seems like ignoring potential, armour connects to wearer and doubles power? messes with route of life force as it circulates body through blood vessels, new path by sending life force from body into armour and armour into body, method of converting life force impossible with single body
 * Different from using leverage/pulleys to move large weight with small force, more like short selling, using something one doesn't actually possess to earn a lot in return, by sending life force through armour - creates illusion that have same special constitution as Saint, makes forget fact not another stronger person, limit to convertion, if all converted - death, falsifying number - convert large amounts that brings user into danger area, while deceiving self - fine, continue while numbers don't add up (goldfish flash frozen by liq nitrogen forget died and live on?), deceit comes to an end - user immediately dies, like if someone with 100 LP make deal assuming they have 2000 or 3000, instant comes to light assaulted by debt, sucked dry (even if goldfish preserved in ice, die if forced to thaw too quickly?)
 * Cthulhu Mythos spells based on assumption humans can't handle them, gained great power by falsifying normal hierarchy, armour more direct and riskier (is there a safe method of thawing a frozen goldfish?)
 * Face with no expression may be due to interference of life force, cold movements - reasoning not getting through

Background

 * Becoming a Majin
 * Changing the world and losing track of her original one
 * Her search for that original world, and someone who could understand her and ease her pain
 * Setting aside her powers then attempting to reclaim them in the current world

Current Text: An unknown number of years and Phases ago, Othinus, though she may have had a different name back then, became a Magic God, and many tales from many cultures told about her power, though some would make her seem like an old man or a vicious god of war,(cite) there were implications that she herself would deliberately took forms that would now be recorded in mythology.(cite) Othinus later used her power to change the world, starting a new Phase. However, she later yearned for her original world, and despite the fact that she could have used the Imagine Breaker to change the world back, her hesitations prevented her from doing so. For there was hope that she could make the world into her original world as she saw in her mind. Moreover, there was a hope for her that she could just bring the world into a new Phase and just settle there. Regardless, she suffered for it, and for countless Phases she was worn down by the suffering that she felt in each of them, something she would later visit upon Touma. Due to being worn down and the impermanence of the world, she began looking for something that would not change. Specifically, she was looking for someone who can understand her, the only one seemingly constant in the world. Though she didn't know what she wanted herself—that changing the world was but a means to an end. In the end, she settled in the current world, and somehow relinquished her title as Magic God.(cite)

During Thor and Touma's battle at the end of the Ichihanaran Festival Arc, Thor mentions Othinus taking extreme measures to gain knowledge such as pulling out one of her eyes, and hanging herself on a tree. It is a reference to the Odin of Norse mythology, who sacrificed his eye at 's Well of Wisdom in order to gain the Wisdom of Ages, as well as hanged himself on the world tree for nine days and nights, in order to learn the wisdom that would give him power in the nine worlds. Also it was said that long before, belief was initially centered on a hammer-wielding lightning god but at some point it shifted to a lance-wielding god of war. It turns out that Othinus might be the actual Odin in the legends since she posseses both the power and nature to accomplish those things.

Revisions:
 * An unknown number of years and Phases ago, Othinus, though she may have had a different name back then, became a Magic God and used her power to change the world, creating new Phases.
 * However after changing the world, she later turned back and sought her original world but found she couldn't remember it and didn't know where to return to. As a result, she changed the world and its Phases many times in a desperate attempt to recreate that original world, but even though her attempts may have been perfect to human eyes, she could still see differences and was tormented by them.
 * Though she didn't realize it, what Othinus was looking for in returning to her original world was someone who understood her and would be able to help soothe the pain she felt.
 * According to Thor, she took extreme measures to gain knowledge such as pulling out one of her eyes, and hanging herself on a tree
 * She eventually settled down in the current world and relinquished her position as a Magic God. However her unease returned and she took back the power she had set aside, earning the ire of Ollerus in the process and forming an adversarial relationship with the man. Spurned on further by World War III, she formed GREMLIN for the purpose of constructing Gungnir and uniting her infinite possibilities.

(Chronology)
 * SS2: The first implication of Othinus' existence in the series is when Ollerus uses the queer magic, Hliðskjálf, upon Sogiita Gunha. This magic, of course, is named after the high seat of Odin, which allows him to see into all realms. In the , Odin was exiled and Ollerus was chosen to take his place. This can be presumed why Ollerus currently has the Hliðskjálf.
 * WWIII

Valkyrie

 * Saints/Valkyries - The path they walk down (Kanzaki SS Ch8)
 * Valkyries given special power to carry out gods' orders, held such strong emotion that they'd fall in love and even turn backs on gods. Even if had to drive sword through own chest, would unhesitatingly give their life for one they loved.
 * Occasionally fight for sake of humans sometimes to point of destruction.
 * Differs from the angels who are mechanical messenger following programming. Fall in love with people on Earth, despair at being unable to be with them, take personal revenge for sake of one they love.

Level 6 Shift Attempt

 * Raijin-like.
 * Consciousness smothered. Directed by suggestion.

Principles, Dispute
Given the origin of the term within the Toaru fandom, there are disputes over what it means and what falls under it.


 * Whether the form resulting from the Level 6 Shift attempt on Misaka Mikoto could be classed as an Awakening is disputed, as although it shares some of the traits from the examples considered to be 'awakenings', it also has some major differences (e.g. it was executed forcibly using an external source).

Phases

 * Needs revising as it has been messed up a bit in the process of an addition
 * Reattach cleanup tag?
 * Current text below
 * Sub-sections - Pure World, Effects (exclusions)

Principles (Current)
The world was originally pure and untouched before various layers and filters began affecting how it appears. This "Pure World" is a world of science that is unaffected by religion, which the man known as the Silver Star is apparently trying to be tamper directly beyond all the filters.

However, the many religions (Christian, Buddhist, Celtic, Indian, Shinto, Incan, Aztec, Greek, Roman, Norse etc) which have arisen throughout history have had the effect of applying various phases to the world. Powerful beings such as Majins are also able to apply new phases.

If the layers of these various religions are real, then it can be assumed that properties present in a Phase of the world would not necessarily mean that it would be erased when a new layer is applied. Due to the Imaginary Number District being described as existing at the same place as Academy City, it is likely that it too is a layer applied to the world to create a new Phase.

The effect of a new Phase of the world varies from being similar to the previous one, like the Omega World being recreated by Othinus each time Touma is near death, to radically different, like the Omega World being different from Touma's original world, where people's various traumas and tragedies have not come to pass unlike in Touma's world. A more obvious difference here is that in the Omega World Sherry Cromwell has an age of a child despite everybody else being the same age as that of Touma's original world.

When the world enters a new Phase, its inhabitants have no idea that the world has been changed, truly believing that the world is the same as always. However, if the Will of the Whole Misaka Network saying that Othinus "cheated" can be believed, it can be assumed that Othinus can assure that people would have memories of the previous world. Regardless, the only people that have continuous memories of all the various Phases of the world are beings like Magic Gods, and to a limited extent, likely the living bearers of the Imagine Breaker, such as Touma. Beings such as the thought entity known as the Will of the Whole Misaka Network, who cannot be directly influenced by the changing Phases of the world, and is referred to as beyond the living and the dead, likely applies as well.

As the Imagine Breaker is the reference and restoration point of the world, it can be used to restore the world back to a previous Phase of the world. This later proved problematic to Touma as though he knew its purpose, he didn't know how he could use it to restore the world back to his original world other than Othinus, forcing him to cast his "hesitations" in a fight with Othinus, believing that he could "reach her".

Background
Throughout history, the various religions which have arisen have had the effect of applying phases to the world.

After Othinus became a Majin, she used her power to apply new phases and change the world, however as she did, she forgot how her original world was and as such couldn't go back once she wished to, leading her to recreate the world many times attempting to reach it. Her hesitations prevented from using the Imagine Breaker to return the world back to her own original world. These hesitations and uncertainties would later build up inside of her, and she had hoped to find someone to understand her, and she believed that person could be found in her original world.

She would later settle in the current world —the world where Kamijou Touma would be born as a bearer of the Imagine Breaker.

Meanwhile, a man calling himself as the Silver Star is attempting to tamper with the Pure World beyond all the filters.

The treaty between Magic and Science Sides
The treaty between Magic and Science is an agreement between the Magic Side and Science Sides that both sides will not interfere in the others' affairs and not use the others' techniques.

Principles
The treaty between the Magic and Science Sides from prevents either side from interfering in the others' affairs. As such, if a member of either side takes actions violating this agreement, the side from which they come from is obliged to be the ones to stop them.

The treaty also prevents each side from using the others' techniques, meaning that those of the science side can't use magic in their technology and magicians can't use science in their magic.

Magicians can use technology to a certain extent, such as Stiyl Magnus's use of a photocopier to prepare rune cards, however methods beyond a certain point, such as Richard Brave's use of Vitamin B2 for invisible runes, are illegal. The exact boundaries, as to what violates the treaty, are unclear, largely decided by the higher-ups, and methods which may be legal one day may be deemed illegal the next. In the case of the above two examples, Stiyl Magnus noted that their positions could have easily been the other way around.

The field of space is not particularly well defined in the treaty and is a source of conflict.

Etymology
Hikoboshi is the Japanese name for Altair, the twelfth brightest star in the night sky and a part of the Summer Triangle together with Vega and Deneb. It and the Orihime 1 (Japanese name for Vega) satellite, which carries the Tree Diagram, may be a reference to Tanabata.

Side-Stories

 * Norse mythology expansion
 * Parody story role

Abilities
Idol Theory: Kanzaki is capable of making use of Idol Theory in her spells and against foe's spells, both pre-planned and improvised. An example of the latter would be when she used skiis, Ullr's association with them and his position as one of the Aesir who survived the flood of Ymir's blood, to avoid being drowned by Ymir's Ocean.

Abilities
After being hit with the Fairy spell, Ollerus lost the special powers that he possessed from being a near-Majin, being reduced to the level of a regular Magician.

Gremlin (True)
Gremlin (グレムリン) is a group made up of Majins from various religions, as opposed to the group of the same name.

Etymology
A Gremlin is a creature that originates from folklore which emerged during the early 20th century, primarily from stories told among airmen. They are little creatures, mischievous like imps of older folklore, who sabotage modern machinery, aircraft in particular.

Principles
Though similar to the group in the regular world that also bears the name, the true Gremlin differs in that rather than being a fusion of science and magic or an anti-science group, it is an organization that any Magic God from any religion can take part in equally, as a Gremlin is a plain fairy not dyed in the colours of any existing religion.

As such, the group is comprised of Magic Gods from various religions, many of whom are remarkable (?) but lacking in some way.


 * Not interfering without calculating?

Gremlin's members are located in a hidden Phase, beyond even the Black World and a sanctuary separate from the rest of the world. There, the concepts of distance and time don't matter.

Magic God Othinus Arc
Near the end of the events in Denmark, Gremlin interfere with the existing world to prevent Othinus' complete destruction and a potential change in Kamijou Touma which could affect their plans for his future. As they discuss these events, Aleister Crowley penetrates their realm and confronts them. After being provoked by one of the Magic Gods, Aleister summons the Blasting Rod and declares his Magic Name before attacking them.

Magical Life Forms
Magical life forms (魔術生命体, Majutsu Seimei-tai) are living beings which have been created through the use of magic.

Principles
Despite the fact that modern magic revolves around refining life force into magic power, few magicians have a clear answer as to what the soul actually is. There are a few prominent theories but there is little proof as to which is correct. However despite not understanding the mechanisms of the soul, there are methods to duplicate it (like with cloning or transplanting on the science side), and magicians can create a physical body to act as a container for the soul even without properly understanding it.

The product of this process is a magical life form. They are not life forms in the same way as angels and demons which are energy masses present in different Phases - they are either subspecies created by applying processes to organic material or new species produced from inorganic material, and can be made in an unending variety of forms.

In the case of Alfar, the material used to create her was a fossil, though she doesn't possess the same soul as the fossilized creature.

Magical life forms are not popular among magicians nowadays as the creation cost for one is too high and their lifespan tends to be unstable, so it isn't unusual for it to die straight after it was created. They also have problems interacting properly with the natural world and can often only live in the flask, test tube or artificial environment they were created in.

Magical life forms all have one thing in common - they are capable of original thought. As there are various complex processes which go into a spell and changing any portion could cause it to backfire and put the user's life at risk, rather than focusing on unstable magical life forms, magicians find it better and more convenient to put the same amount of effort into a spiritual item to reinforce their own abilities.

In modern times, magicians who seriously work on creating magical life forms are themselves an endangered species. The lack of creators also means there are few magical life forms and likely none outside the specialized ceremonial grounds and temples where they are created as they have trouble interacting with the natural world and perish.


 * P4.
 * Devices in Brick Wharf - spherical glass container 1m across (uncertain how placed inside) with emulated environment (forest, desert, ice, ocean) and artificially created phenomena to create life form
 * Most magical life forms there have features more dangerous than any in natural world (fangs/claws) but all they have, likely normal cats/dogs stronger, life forms twisted and easily killed by problem so nothing in natural world would have an issue with it

Scary Stuff
(creepy, horrifying, terrifying, unsettling - anything from the continuum/spectrum)

Different people find different things scary and at different levels.

My question is this:

Is there anything in the Toaru series that you consider creepy, scary, horrifying, unsettling or anything else from that spectrum?

Regarding Communication Problems and Frustrations

 * Communication problems - have had these for most of my life, recently however they have been getting worse.
 * Can't properly get thoughts into words. Can't convey everything I want to say properly - misunderstanding, others twisting etc
 * Hesitation and anxiety
 * Take a long time putting together posts/messages - trying to avoid mistakes, hesitating and worrying, often post (sometimes because I'd be hesitating forever otherwise) and it's still not done properly
 * Vagueness - perhaps out of encompassing more and covering the right one than focusing and getting the wrong one completely
 * When people are making mistakes, messing things up or doing wrong, can't point it out as can't properly describe what they are doing wrong - dismissal, twisting, ignoring etc, frustration as they continue to do wrong while can't do anything to stop it
 * Recent actions by certain others and the creeping corruption/conceit - upset/sad/angry because of it, communication problems added, produces negative feedback cycle & downward spiral, leading to depression
 * Need to have a description ready in advance rather than have to produce one at short notice

Regarding Miscategorisation

 * Magic Formats: For base formats, not types. Base Formats = Folklore, Mythology, Religion etc. Different from types (Healing, Bells, Fire, Wax) (difficult to properly describe).
 * Space: Some stuff which is not truly space-related - E-II mech was not designed for space and only launched into upper atmosphere
 * Events: Event redirects and main pages have been put in Events (only one)

Other

 * Name usage on articles, most common or given (thoughts: should be assessed case by case rather than all in one, generally the name most used unless family name most often used when there are more than one individual with family name) (e.g. Kanzaki, Saten, Mikoto, Seria etc) (Check KL's claim (history logs and users) - may be an example of that annoying tendency)
 * Naming Order - does not need changing from current way
 * Over-Q/S for certain images (KL), missing FURs - this might be a problem later on?
 * That, A certain creeping, corroding, corrupting movement - quite difficult to describe, but cause for depression and concern
 * Encroachment
 * Ask for advice on wiki depression.
 * Double-edged nature - output of many, both good and bad, bright or dim
 * Claiming something is true and editing to provide own justification
 * Underminers
 * Following under assumption, sheep
 * Overextension/Stretching

Index PSP

 * If health to 0, Overdrive Bar can be carried over as health (Caution), Bar can break/level up mid-fight

 * Acqua's Magic: Divine Mother's Mercy, Virgin Mary Worship

Other

 * Problem due to users, lazily and carelessly, directly copying and pasting content, mostly from around the wiki or from the translations of the books, sometimes from Wikipedia and forum posts.
 * No effort made to make it fit properly into the article (doubts that they even properly read it through).
 * Sometimes they just dump it over content which has had effort put into it and works much better than the new stuff.
 * Often it's quite a mess.
 * Shifting of names unnecessarily (most used/given - e.g. Kanzaki), Signs of the Creeping?
 * Carrying mistakes forward and perpetuating.
 * Country pages, Staff Profiles.
 * Stuff being categorized where it shouldn't. Refine descriptions to prevent it. (SPG, Formats)
 * Trouble being incited
 * Polarization
 * Pole (Changed) playing victim to get away with their actions when they are just a bad if not worse than the other (Origin)

Wiki Notes

 * Manual of Style gives an example but doesn't strictly say that a specific reference name structure (not the reference itself by the ref-name), optimum balance between space and description.
 * When switching round articles between two different names, categories included, the counter adds them as though they were entirely new.
 * Instances of giving quotes to ref names (unnecessary) - due to visual editor?
 * Consider the possibility of an offshoot project, in case the worst comes to the worst
