Strobila
The Strobila (ストロビラ) is a device, developed by Academy City researchers, which is intended to manipulate a person's mind without interfering with their brain by altering the balance of hormones secreted by the heart.

Etymology
The Strobila is named after in a  life cycle.

Appearance
The main body of the Strobila is made of plastic and is only a few millimetres long. Extending from it is a single fiber, more than 20cm long and thinner than a hair, which runs all the way to the subject's heart.

Principles
The Strobila is a product of research into carrying out highly accurate mental control without interfering with the brain, which is closely linked to esper development. The human mind does not solely consist of the brain - aside from the chemicals released there, the other organs secrete various hormones which influence a person. In the Strobila's case, it stimulates the heart in order to alter the balance of secreted hormones, manipulating the mind without even touching the brain.

Research papers related to the strobili suggest using the method as a new restraint for out-of-control espers or efficiently controlling offenders at juvenile hall, though they were probably tacked on afterwards given that researchers generally give no thought to compromises with society except with regards to funding.

Chronology
At some point in November, a Strobila was secretly installed in Shokuhou Misaki's neck, as part of Mitsuari Ayu's attempt to take revenge on her. After noticing differences between the appearance of the Ground Geo power station and how she remembered it, Shokuhou suspected that someone may had tampered with her memories. This led her to visit Kumokawa Seria, one person capable of doing such a thing. Suspecting that some sort of machine might be responsible, Seria examined her body, finding the Strobila imbedded in the back of her neck and removing it.

After losing contact with the Strobila in Shokuhou Misaki's neck, Mitsuari had Yamakawa and several other people posing as Emergency Aid workers attempted to replace it under the guise of treatment for instability. Shokuhou saw through their deception and thwarted their attempt, learning in the process that the Strobila actually had no data in it, leading her to realize that it was a decoy meant to fool her into manipulating her own memories.

Later, when she was attacked at Ground Geo, Shokuhou found a Strobila embedded in her assailant's neck and ripped it out, suspecting that it was allowing her opponent to resist her Mental Out. The Strobila wasn't actually responsible, but the assailant acted as though it was to fool Shokuhou and catch her with a surprise attack.

Ground Geo
Ground Geo (グラウンド・ジオ) is an experimental geothermal power station, located in Academy City's School District 21, at the New Mountain.

Appearance
Situated on the mountain's peak, the facility is comprised of a circular artificial lake, about 50m in diameter with concrete edges, with a metal tower rising from its centre.

Principles
Ground Geo generates power through deep magma heat conduction, a method previously considered in theory before being applied there. A 1km heat-conducted rod, placed vertically down from the mountain peak, extends underground and heat from magma is transferred to liquid which is flowing within the rod.

The station produces an output of 2,027,000 kW, far surpassing the output of a nuclear power station and since the energy is directly extracted from magma deep underground, it has virtually no effect on the environment, making it extremely clean. The primary problem with this method is that it produces extremely faint earthquakes, however these are too weak for people to feel and don't affect everyday life.

Though previous geothermal stations had to be constructed on active volcanoes that could grow unstable in the future, the heat-conducting rod method allows for construction in flat urban areas or even on the ocean floor. Much like wind turbines, Academy City's primary method of power generation, they can be freely constructed anywhere, with potential applications being endless.

The plan to place a heat-conducting rod deep underground was primarily seen as an experiment towards the future construction of a space elevator.

The facility has a high level of computer control with normal operation being fully automated. Every part of the facility is monitored by 32000 sensors and the slightest abnormality is immediately reported.

Background
The facility had been running for more than 3 years before the current year of the story timeline without issue. In August, one year earlier, it was also the location for Mitsuari Ayu's attempted suicide and for the second encounter between Shokuhou Misaki and Kamijou Touma three days later.

Chronology
At some point in November, the surroundings of the power station were covered with the Five Over Outsider's camouflaging powder to alter its appearance and files relating to it were modified, as part of an effort to make Shokuhou Misaki suspect that her memories had been falsified. When revisiting the locations where she had met Kamijou Touma, Shokuhou visited the power station and on noticing that it was considerably different from how she remembered it, began to doubt her memories.

After Kumokawa Seria discovered a Strobila in her neck and learning that it had no data in it, Shokuhou revisited the facility to confirm her suspicions. Once she discovered the presence of the camouflage using a toolkit, Mitsuari proceeded to attack her. A battle ensued between the two and their puppets, which was eventually ended, just as Mitsuari was trapping Shokuhou in the Five Over Modelcase Mental Out, by the arrival of Kamijou Touma.

Mitsuari Ayu
Mitsuari Ayu (蜜蟻愛愉) is an antagonist who appears in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index. A Level 3 esper with the ability Mental Stinger, she bears an immense grudge against Shokuhou Misaki, who was chosen over her to be developed to Level 5 and was saved by Kamijou Touma when she wasn't.

Etymology
Her family name, Mitsuari (蜜蟻), means.

Appearance
Mitsuari Ayu has long, wavy, chocolate-colored hair, apparently as fluffy as cotton candy. She has smaller breasts than Shokuhou Misaki but apparently has more beautiful legs than her, more than just long and slender. She wears a special, dark suit, resembling a racing swimsuit, with similar gloves and boots.

Personality
Due to being not being saved by Touma due to Shokuhou Misaki, who was saved by him and was also chosen over her to become a Level 5, Mitsuagi bears an immense grudge against Shokuhou Misaki, to the extent that she wishes to steal the happy memories that Shokuhou has of him for her and her alone.

Background
In the past, Mitsuari Ayu and Shokuhou Misaki were found by Tree Diagram to both have the possibility of reaching Level 5, possessing abilities with a near identical basic theory and scope, though they would plateau at Level 3 under standard curriculum. The higher-ups decided to prune one and focus on developing the other. Following the Parameter List, they chose to focus on Shokuhou Misaki, with Mitsuari Ayu being kept as a back-up in the event of her death.

A year before the current year of the Story Timeline, Mitsuari Ayu had encountered Kamijou Touma. At that time, her circumstances had driven her to consider suicide. When she was about to go through with it, she sent a message to Touma, hoping that he would save her. However due to bumping into Shokuhou Misaki at an intersection, Touma lost his phone and as such was unable to reach her in time. Though her suicide attempt at Ground Geo failed, Mitsuari was drawn into Academy City's dark side and came to resent Misaki not just for stealing her chance to become Level 5, but also for being saved when she wasn't.

Chronology
In order to carry out her revenge, Mitsuari used the Five Over OS to camouflage the Ground Geo power station in order to make Shokuhou suspect that her memories had been tampered with and use her own ability to change them. To support this, she altered the files about the station and secretly had a Strobila imbedded in Shokuhou's neck, without data and meant to reinforce her doubt.

After Shokuhou discovered that the geothermal station was different from her memories and doubting them, moved to find out who was responsible, Mitsuari started to make her move as well. Following the removal of the Strobila, Mitsuari had several of her subordinates approach Shokuhou disguised as Emergency Aid workers to replace it under the guise of treatment for instability.

When this plan failed and Shokuhou discovered that the whole geothermal station had been covered by camouflaging dust, Mitsuari, in Ground Geo's monitoring station and wearing the Outsider suit, decided to take action. After contacting her subordinates and confirming that the Five Overs were going to be ready, Mitsuari turned to Shokuhou on the monitor, telling 'Miss Bee' that she stole her so it was time she was punished.

Using the cover of the camouflage, Mitsuari approached Shokuhou, who realized that her enemy had arrived and took out her remote. After first appearing to her with a generated image, Mitsuari confronted Shokuhou from behind. Seeing the huge mass in front of her in a Tokiwadai uniform, Shokuhou questioned if she was really in middle school, to which Mitsuari responded that she could ask the same. When Shokuhou attempted to use her ability on her, Mitsuagi told her that it won't work and that she wouldn't have shown herself if she thought it would.

Mitsuagi then began her attack, turning Shokuhou's arm black with the dust and setting a swarm of hornets on her, but a member of Shokuhou's clique incinerates them with a mass of flames. After marking her location with the magnetically-controlled monitor, Mitsuagi wondered where the other hidden pawns are, recalling that Shokuhou can only accurately control up to fourteen people at once and threatening to cut off her arms and legs, leaving just her brain that can't crawl. After Shokuhou made another failed attempt to control her, Mitsuagi had the dust create the image of a swarm of insects crawling up her feet towards her neck, describing the primitive fear that can't be avoided even if one knows that something isn't real. She then had a giant eyeball appear on her flesh and freeze Shokuhou with fear, comparing it to Medusa of Greek mythology. As Shokuhou doubled over, she had another clique member create an electric discharge, disrupting the monitor dust temporarily. Marking the second one, Mitsuagi asked how many more there were, saying that she could crush them as long as she knew where they were and adding that Shokuhou couldn't stand to see one of her pawns die despite arrogantly controlling people. Seeing her reaction, Mitsuagi wondered if the look on her face meant that she had ordered them all to withdraw, which saved her the trouble.

Wondering who her enemy was, being familiar with her past and powers and being able to outdo her in psychological warfare to such an extent, Shokuhou asked her if she had some connection to her, to which Mitsuagi replied that she did as otherwise she'd have no reason to resent her and when Shokuhou said that she'd never met her, said that if she had met her, she wouldn't have been able to resist killing her then. On being told she was insane, Mitsuagi laughed and asked who can prove that people like them who readily manipulated people's minds still had sounds minds of their own. As Shokuhou faced her, Mitsuagi began to alter the surroundings again, but to her surprise Shokuhou started to throw her remotes at her face. As Mitsuagi covered her face, Shokuhou got closer to her and grabbed at her neck, pulling out a Strobila embedded in it. Thinking that she'd removed Mitsuagi's means of resistance, Shokuhou used her ability again and Mitsuagi pretended to have fallen under her control.

Unable to gather her enemy's thoughts, Shokuhou asked Mitsuagi several questions with her remote. Mitsuagi told her that she was the only one giving orders, working alone but controlling useful assets to give the illusion of an organization and using the Five Over OS to control them, as well as explaining what it was. She then told Shokuhou that she was doing this for revenge and to punish her for stealing 'her'. Shokuhou asked her who she was and Mitsuagi claimed, to her shock, that she was Shokuhou Misaki.

Under the impression that her foe was under control and could not lie, Shokuhou questioned her further and started to wonder what was going on, but as she was floating in doubt Mitsuagi caught her with one of the Five Over's tentacles, laughing that she had told her that her ability wouldn't work. After the Five Over OS unit split off from her, she appeared in front of Shokuhou looking exactly like her, before having her face melt away. As Shokuhou cried out, asking who she was, Mitsuagi asked if she still didn't know, revealing her true appearance to her. Though Shokuhou didn't recognize her, she sensed that Mitsuagi was similar to her, which she confirmed, telling her that her ability was Mental Stinger, stuck at Level 3 but originally meant to reach Level 5. She then asked if Shokuhou had heard about the Parameter List, the document determining who to focus on and who to discard, introducing herself to her as the ant who could not become the bee, the other fruit cut from the branch to let Shokuhou grow.

Abilities
Mitsuari's Level 3 ability is Mental Stinger (心理穿孔 (メンタルスティンガー) ), which operates in a similar way to Mental Out. Originally thought to manipulate the brain by controlling bioelectricity, it actually does this by manipulating moisture, controlling the distribution of fluids and the secretion of chemicals in the target's brain. Instead of directly controlling bioelectricity, it changes the conductive efficiency by controlling the fluid acting as a catalyst for it to flow through - as such, the ability doesn't work on espers that directly manipulate their bioelectricity such as Electromasters, though it is speculated that this can be overcome with an increased output. Abilities of a similar nature are also capable of resisting it. Similar to Shokuhou Misaki's use of remotes for Mental Out, Mitsuari Ayu sets targets for Mental Stinger with cameras and her fingertips.

Under certain circumstances such as extreme anger, the ability can go out of control and cause an explosive phenomenon similar to freeze-drying that creates a territory that can cause any living being within it to crumble like dried paper mache.

Equipment
Five Over OS (Outsider) - Modelcase Mental Out (ファイブオーバーOS(アウトサイダー)): Like other Five Overs, this is meant to reproduce a Level 5's power with pure technology, though the OS (Outsider) indicates that it exists outside the mainstream method, using methods different from a Level 5's power to produce the phenomenon resembling it. In this case, magnetically controlled monitor dust is distributed across an area and used to alter the appearance of the target's surroundings, using that twisted information to influence their mental state and memories. The device is still a prototype and has plenty of problems remaining, hence why it hasn't been mass-produced.

The base unit is a spherical device, taller than a person, with tentacles extending from its bottom half, resembling an artificial octopus. It is constructed from an artificial fat called Designer's Gel which is capable of changing shape. It has numerous large eyeballs on its surface, which roll and blink, perhaps due to the magnetically controlled monitor. '''Five_Over (Out_Sider). Modelcase_“MENTAL_OUT”.''' is written on the side of its tentacle. The Outsider can also take the shape of a large wearable suit, forming a body that should weigh around 300kg were it real.

The magnetically-controlled monitor (磁性制御モニター) that is used by the Outsider primarily consists of colored powdered dust, which is scattered throughout the target area and controlled via magnetism. It is capable of changing in real-time, altering the surroundings around the target to influence them. An example of this would be producing images of insects to induce revulsion and fear, or an eyeball with a gaze that paralyzes those that see it, much like Medusa in Greek Mythology. It is even capable of creating sound by rubbing together like cricket wings. However this system requiring a network of multiple viewpoints other than that of the user to perfectly overwrite the surrounding area in real time, which can be used by an enemy to manipulate the Outsider by feeding it with malicious information.

Five Over Modelcase Mental Out (ファイブオーバー モデルケース・メンタルアウト): Mitsuari's trump card against Shokuhou, a machine which is supposed to recreate and surpass Mental Out using technology. However this particular machine doesn't strictly fit the definition of Five Over as it doesn't contain anything to reproduce an esper ability using technology, instead containing 8000 output devices, with the intention to have Shokuhou Misaki placed inside and her power drawn out forcefully, in order to acquire the sample data to complete and mass-produce it, as well as to crush Shokuhou's mind with her own power. Resembling a scorpion wasp, its main body is 4m long with six legs and thin wings 8m long when extended. Its abdomen is translucent and filled with anesthetic conducting fluid, meant to contain a human body. It can be programmed to act automatically.

Strobila (ストロビラ): A device intended to manipulating the mind without interfering with the brain. It is consists of a very small plastic core with a long fiber that leads to the subject's heart and affects the secretion of hormones. Strobilas were installed in Shokuhou and Mitsuari's Outsider body as decoys.

Design evolution
Mitsuari Ayu's character design is basically the rejected initial design for Shokuhou Misaki, with a few changes to her expressions due to her psychotic 'yandere' tendencies. According to Haimura Kiyotaka, rejected designs are normally locked away however the story in this case was written using the concept of an unfortunate girl who could not become Shokuhou, allowing that rejected design to be made into a character.

 * 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.

Principles
The meanings represented by the cards change depending on several factors, such as the type of spread being used, the positions of the cards in the spread, their positions in relation to another, and the orientation of the cards, either upright or reversed.

Suit of Swords
The Suit of Swords represents yellow, the wind, flow and change. It is symbolized by a "yellow dagger" (黄色の短剣).

Suit of Cups
The Suit of Cups represents blue, water, emotions, the back, women and the moon.
 * Cup: Leivinia can change the weapon into a cup in order to use water magic. Also representing one of the suits in the minor arcana of tarot, Leivinia can summon a wall of swirling water that stretches upward. Once it reaches a set height, it stretches out in an even disk, which can look like an umbrella or a tree. There, it then shoots out water daggers that fall in every direction around Leivinia.

Suit of Wands
The Suit of Wands represents red, fire, intellect and will.
 * Wand: It is the initial form of her symbolic weapon. Spinning the wand once allows for flames to be shot out along a path, which will then grow into a giant wall of fire. It was in this form, as well as having a pocket watch coiled around it that allowed Leivinia to defeat Cendrillon using fire to represent dawn.

Suit of Coins
The Suit of Coins represents green, earth and material aspects.
 * Disc: Leivinia can presumably change her weapon into a disc, as she was able to summon a stone pillar from the ground, as well as stone daggers, an attack where she blend a real knife into, in order to catch her opponent off guard.

Residual information
Residual information is information about people, objects and other things which remains even after they are gone. Certain types of Magic make use of residual information.

Principles
Necromancy and other forms of Magic related to the dead make use of residual information concerning deceased individuals. The GREMLIN magician Hel is capable of extracting residual information about deaths which have occurred in an area, in order to use the "cause of death".
 * Hel, Xochitl, Arnold Mackenzie, GREMLIN attack near Saipan
 * Estelle Rosenthal, Ghosts, Hitokawa Hasami

By acquiring residual information, it is possible to replicate the subject of information to a certain extent. In the case of destroyed spiritual items and such, such as with the destruction of the Pound Economy's spiritual foundation, this can be used to aid in reconstruction.

It is possible to destroy residual information and prevent it from being acquired.

Character designs

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".

Magic-Science Treaty

 * Enforcement

Magical-Scientific Methods

 * Amakusa (Hiding meaning in everyday items/trinket)
 * Liberal Arts City (Attempt to reverse-engineer Mixcoatl)
 * RARO (Attempt to switch sides)

Background
It is unknown when exactly the treaty came into being, however most likely occurred at a point sometime after the foundation of Academy City.

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
 * P11.
 * Lake District Necessarius research facility (in castle ruins), records of magical life forms created up to start of 20th century, Alfar isolation

Known Examples

 * Alfar

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.

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.


 * Note Altair, Vega, Deneb naming theme (Summer Triangle/Lovers story)
 * Tanabata festival - meeting of Orihime and Hikoboshi (Vega and Altair), Milky Way separating lovers and only allowed to meet once a year on seventh day of seventh lunar month

Kanzaki Kaori

 * Shift back from 125's edit from Kaori to Kanzaki (case by case assessment, in this case, there are no other Kanzakis in the series and Kanzaki is the name she is most often referred to, Silent Psycho Gamer agrees).

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.


 * Loss of arms and Majin special powers, didn't experience as great destruction from Fairy spell as Othinus (as imperfect Majin) but reduced to level of ordinary Magician.

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

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 a splinter project, in case the worst comes to the worst
