Tarot:
 * Standard Golden-style tarot tells story of Son of God from birth to execution and resurrection to draw on portion of power. 22 Major Arcana synched with 22 paths on Sephirot tree. Meant to acquire technique of entering realm of god with human body, miracle explained through Christianity.
 * Thoth tarot used by Crowley little different even though based on same tree, starts at birth of Christianity, follows to its destruction (Armageddon) and to new Aeon arriving afterwards. Hanged Man meaning different, Judgement replaced with Aeon. Not arriving at realm of god but destroying closed ceiling of god's territory and bringing humanity to next stage above it.
 * Horus - new awakening through destruction of Christianity, extreme view so not everyone in Golden cabal supported it.

Said to have been "finished off" (Aft-Trans), however that is not necessarily as absolute an indication or proof as some would believe. Regardless, very unlikely to recover, so categorized as 'Deceased', regardless of actual status at suspension.

Anti-Art Attachment:
 * The Anti-Art Attachment's primary function is more an application of medical technology than military technology. A form of external cyborg attachment, it forms a link between the user and another individual, allowing the user to remotely draw on their power. Noukan makes use this connection to utilize Aleister Crowley's power and secret techniques.
 * Noukan has a hangar for the Anti-Art Attachment in each School District in Academy City.
 * That night, Aleister had the Anti-Art Attachment overhauled and prepared for Noukan's battle against Kamisato Kakeru, though he implied in his conversation with Noukan that he wouldn't be able to win with it. Later, Noukan used it during the confrontation, but due to its connection with Aleister and his conflicting desires, it was a valid target for World Rejecter and was subsequently erased by it.
 * Application of medical technology rather than military, external cyborg attachment, form connection/link to another and remotely draws on their power, carrying willpower (thoroughly hating Magic Gods) to destination, Noukan not just borrowing, like elite soldier infiltrating enemy lines to lock onto airstrike target with laser sight, using Aleister's secret techniques, understanding of world a step outside science (Ep).
 * Overhauled for use but implication of loss (Ch2).
 * Connection to Aleister, conflicting desires, valid target for World Rejecter (Ep).
 * Precision guided missiles, laser beams, plasma cannons (Ep).
 * Connect to Noukan (Ep).

Sample Shoggoth
Sample Shoggoth (サンプル＝ショゴス) is a parasitic life-form which was discovered by Patricia Birdway's research team in Antarctica and subsequently infested her.

Etymology
s are protoplasmic monsters featured in 's  and other stories from the Cthulhu Mythos.

Appearance
Sample Shoggoth appears as a pitch black amorphous mass, resembling an octopus floating in the deep sea, a soft piece of fat cut away with a knife or loose rubber film melted from the inside. Its surface is covered in bubbles with some things, not quite eyeballs or suckers, which blink with a damp yellow or green light that resembles glow-in-the-dark paint.

Principles
An amorphous mass, the parasite is capable of twisting its body into various shapes, extending, contracting, scattering and moving at speed. It is also capable of sharpening parts of its body to fire like spears.

The parasite apparently isn't contagious and won't leave its host's body, unless their vitals grow unstable. It dissolves the fat inside the host's body and slips into the empty space, maintaining their human silhouette. It also handles the storage and distribution of nutrients that the fat would have done, effectively holding their life in it's tentacles. Attempting to extract the parasite will cause it to lash out, risking tearing the host's body to pieces. If it was successfully sucked out, the host's body would be left a skin-and-bones shell and they would likely die before they could recover.

Though it usually won't leave it's host completely, the parasite can partially emerge, in order to attack potential threats. Alternatively, it will attempt to move and hide itself should it sense someone looking for it. Left alone, it will sometimes gather in one spot on the host's body, forming a protruding bump.

The parasite can apparently be forced out of its host's body by replacing the fat in the body that was consumed by the parasite, displacing it.

Background
While carrying out research in Antarctica, Patricia Birdway's team discovered (and named) the parasite which infested Patricia's body, putting her life in danger.

Visiting different medical institutions for a way to deal with the Shoggoth, Patricia eventually ended up in Academy City. Meanwhile, unable to find a solution with her cabal's methods, Leivinia left the Dawn-Colored Sunlight in order to find a way to cure Patricia's condition by herself. She eventually developed a hybrid method based on cannibalization and other elements from Africa, intending to have Patricia consume an organ she was growing inside her, however due to Patricia's lack of knowledge concerning magic, Leivinia's reluctance to explain and the risks of a new organ being grown within the human body, she rejected the method out of fear for her sister's life.

Cannibalization
Cannibalization (カニバリゼーション) is a hybrid technique created and used by Leivinia Birdway, using aspects from Africa, in order to save her sister from Sample Shoggoth.

World Rejecter Arc
As the fight with the Kamisato Faction got underway, Touma came up with an alternative method as he was fighting Kamisato Kakeru; to have Claire, a Gemstone capable of manipulating plants and with a body more like a plant than a human, make a plant-based fat which the human body would accept, fill Patricia's body with it to replace the fat she had lost and displace the parasite, and with a structure similar to corn starch once affixed it would naturally break down and fuse with the body tissue to smoothly close the wounds without need for later removal.

Appearance

 * Organs missing.

Personality

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Abilities
Nephthys is also able to emit a shrill cry which causes matter to vibrate intensely, capable of instantly turning an entire magical faction to ash.

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.

Major Arcana
In the standard Golden-style Tarot, the Major Arcana tells the story of the Son of God, from birth to execution and resurrection, in order to draw on a portion of his power. Connected to the 22 paths on the Sephirot tree, they are meant to acquire a technique of entering the realm of god with a human body, miracles which can be explained by Christianity.

In the Thoth Tarot used by Aleister Crowley, the meaning behind the Major Arcana is different although based on the same tree. It instead starts at the birth of Christianity and follows it through to its destruction at Armageddon, and to the new Aeon arriving afterwards. In this version, the Hanged Man's meaning is different and Judgement is replaced with The Aeon. Instead of arriving at the realm of god, it is aimed at destroying the 'closed ceiling' of god's territory and bringing humanity to the next stage above it.

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.

NT13

 * Forum thread: NT13 Plans
 * Tweak initial paragraph
 * Not permitted to add stuff from NT13 while translation in progress, but OK to plan here for when it is.
 * A bit annoying if you plan and work on a load of stuff and the effort turns out to have been for naught. Also a bit inefficient and a bit inconsiderate. Let know if interested/intend to work on subjects so others know and can plan accordingly.
 * Good to plan ahead so less hassle later - fewer errors, less purple, less conflict, less reworking necessary

Setting
This article describes the details of the setting in which the Toaru series takes place, that of an alternate Earth in the early 21st century (with more than a few differences).

Subsections

 * Climate
 * Politics (China/India, England/France, G14, Magic-Science treaty)
 * History (discrepancies, some due to magic/AC tech, some not, Hispanic presidents)
 * Technology (AC)

Geography
In terms of geography, countries are largely the same as the non-fictional Earth, though due to certain events, different countries have formed, such as the Elizalina Alliance which split off from Russia. There are also a few minor differences regarding landmasses (Uphill Island).

Supernatural Powers
One of the most distinctive aspects of the Toaru universe is the existence of supernatural powers and abilities. These include both Esper abilities, derived from Personal Reality and associated with the Science Side, and Magic, derived from refined life-force as mana or other energies channeled into (form).
 * Magic/Espers/Natural energies

Phases
Various religions and the actions of powerful beings have resulted in various layers, known as phases, being laid down upon the world. The phases act like filters, distorting how the world appears. Beyond the phases lies a Pure World of science, untouched by magic or religion.

Space
Aside from traditional rocket-based launches, other ways of getting into space have been developed and implemented. Due to the advent of, which needs less land than (for) multi-stage rockets, many new space programs have emerged, with smaller countries becoming able to start their own and many eager to prove themselves to sponsors. There is also a different distribution of launches between launch providers due to various circumstances, such as the agreement between India and the United Kingdom. As well as the shuttles and rockets used by other spacefaring factions, Academy City and its cooperative institutions also have access to mass drivers and space planes, and have constructed a working space elevator, Endymion. . Academy City has also maintained at least three major satellites in orbit, including the Hikoboshi II and the now-destroyed Orihime 1.

There has been no colonization of other worlds, though plans have been made and technologies developed for a mission to Mars, and technology with terraforming applications has been researched. There have also been no definitely confirmed extra-terrestrials.

Time Theory/Time
With regards to temporal mechanics, there are no parallel worlds (in this case referring to the universe or reality itself). Instead the world is a straight line, compared by Kamisato Kakeru to a rubber string nailed onto a pachinko machine. Like a rubber string and like time or space, the world can stretch or contract. Partially due to this nature, there are a fair number of portions in the world that are unused, compared by Kamisato during his explanation of World Rejecter to being like the use of only ten frames when using sixty fps film, with no one noticing if subliminal footage was slipped into two or three of the leftover frames.

There are very few supernatural powers which can travel through or manipulate the flow of time; aside from the application of a Magic God's power, only the Red Player and the White Player are known to possess the ability to do so. There are however a number of abilities which are capable of foreseeing the future. Due to the nature of some of these abilities, producing predictions based on calculations within a set of dimensions, while the predictions made by the ability may not be overturned normally, some abilities which use other dimensions in calculations, such as the 11 dimensional calculation Teleport, are capable of defying the predictions. The power and existence of the Magic Gods can influence the rails of destiny, intentionally or not.

Buddhism

 * Self-mummification (Sokushinbutsu)
 * Six Paths (Principles expansion)

The Six Paths
Another key concept of Buddhism is the Six Paths (Rikudou?), the idea that all forms of life (human, animal, preta, deva, asura etc) are continually reborn throughout the six realms (Deva, Asura, Human, Animal, Preta and Naraka) as they strive to reach enlightenment. The only escape from this cycle is for one to achieve perfect enlightenment and buddhahood.
 * The cycle applies for anyone, even a priest in temple, holy man who nearly mastered path, wears heavenly rainment, flies through sky.
 * Physical soul or metaphor? (High Priest)
 * No path allowed for Magic Gods, not in different existing categories divided, didn't rise to position through the normal means, gates of Pure Land or heaven won't open for them. A seventh path not contained by the six already existing (what High Priest wants?).

Egyptian Mythology

 * Organ removal
 * Servant burial
 * Scales of Anubis

Chinese

 * Origin unclear
 * Sages in novel

Principles
The group is a reconciliation council that was created in order to avoid a struggle over resources between the Magic Gods, all of whom have the power to change the world as they desire but have only one world between them and are all capable of destroying the world, intentionally or not.

Scorer
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" - someone who would give them a singular set of values and definite directional focus. The scorer would negotiate with them and gives 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 Gremlin piece of mind, they would grant their wishes and prayers, allowing them 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 or category separate from the Six Paths.

The individual whom Gremlin intended to be their scorer was Kamijou Touma.

Background
At some point in the past, Aleister Crowley had the opportunity to become a Magic God and a member of Gremlin but choose to remain human instead. The High Priest was involved in the death of his daughter.

High Priest
Current second paragraph on the article for cleaning and reworking:

The most active magic god that descended the world after Aleister Crowley challenged them, he is the first magic god to negotiate with Touma for (on!) the other gods' behalf. After Touma rejects his offer, he becomes the relentless antagonist of the Magic God Invasion Arc, wanting to do battle with him (change). Despite all of Touma's efforts the High Priest proves his power by surviving all of his efforts to defeat him. Only after Kihara Noukan's intervention is he defeated and finally killed.

Personality

 * Type that loses interest in something once they attain it.(Ch3Pt18)
 * Twisted belief (from sabotage) in saving the people (Ch3Pt13.
 * Jovial/Arrogant

Background
In the past, as a follower of the Japanese variety of Buddhism, the High Priest subjected himself to self-mummification, starving himself so his human form would transcend the six paths, becoming a Buddha in just one generation, in hopes of saving all people. However a faction opposed to him becoming a Buddha sabotaged his attempt and twisted as a result, he became a Magic God instead.

Abilities
Being a Magic God, the High Priest is powerful enough to risk destroying the world with her mere presence unless precautionary measures are taken. Even weakened by Aleister's spell, the High Priest is still capable of destroying the world, and invulnerable to most harm.

As a result of his self-mummification, the High Priest has a connection to dirt, formed as what seeped from his corpse as he dried filled the underground space where he sealed himself and starved to death. This connection is linked to the Shinto aspect of dirt being unclean and connected to the underworld being mixed into the Japanese variety of Buddhism that the High Priest followed. The High Priest uses his connection and control over dirt to create giants hands of mud, capable of crushing, uprooting and throwing entire buildings, sense where someone is if they are in contact with the ground, remove dirt from underground to cause city-wide collapse, and seize control of objects such as the Arrowhead Comet by manipulating the dirt/dust incorporated into them.
 * Dirt manipulation
 * Seep from corpse as dried, filled surroundings/connected space that starved to death
 * Shinto viewing dirt as unclean/connected to the underworld (not many view dirt as unclean, all around world many think heavenly gods in sky and sinners below earth)(Archetype/God note)
 * Shinto/Buddhism mix/contamination
 * Sensing (Ch3Pt9)
 * Foundation collapse (Ch4Pt1)
 * Comet (Ch4Pt9)

Quotes

 * (To Aleister in the Hidden World) “It’s a complete failure, young one. You’re going to be at your wits’ end before long.” (ありゃあ完全な失敗作じゃよ、若造. じきにお主も頭を抱える事になるじゃろうがな)

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

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

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

St. Germain
St. Germain (サンジェルマン) is a legendary figure, said to have appeared at various points in history throughout medieval Europe's high society and claimed to be among other things, an immortal, a time traveler, and a technician capable of repairing broken jewels. Most of the legends associated with St. Germain are rather dubious ones, and as such much of it is considered by many to be false.

In the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, the legends of St. Germain are fake, but at some point they may have been given "life" by Magicians who used existing legends and Magic to make them real. First introduced in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, the concept of St. Germain is (later) shown to be a collective identity, similar to the Misaka Network, apparently spread through the ingestion of pills that carry microbes allowing an individual to be part of the collective of people who believe themselves to be the magician known as St. Germain.

Appearance
Being a collective identity, the appearance of the individuals who call themselves St. Germain differs, however they all share similar attires. Common elements in their attires include tailcoats, monocles and top (silk) hats, appearing overall as something similar to the outfit of a or something out of a costume shop.

The St. Germain who was used to manipulate Kanou Shinka is a college-age woman with long (waist-length), wavy blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin. She resembles an older Frenda Seivelun, a resemblance that was likely intentionally made to use Kanou. She wears a golden, wing-shaped monocle on her left eye and wears a tailcoat resembling a stage magician's bunny suit and jacket combination.

Personality
First and foremost, St. Germain is a liar, though he wouldn't admit it. He is quite willing to spread an infinite number of falsehoods and deceive anyone he can manipulate in pursuit of his goal. St. Germain has little regard for the people he manipulates and is quite happy to lead them to their deaths or subject them to cruelty if that will achieve what he wants. He also holds no reservations about twisting and trampling on the truth in order to support his lies. St. Germain holds himself in high regard and apart from others, denouncing those who denounce him as delusional and foolish, even arrogantly claiming that he himself is an entire third category apart from Magician and Magic God.

Though St. Germain may claim otherwise, many of his actions are not logical and contradict themselves. St. Germain may present them in a way that makes them seem like part of a grand plan, but there is actually no plan at all - St. Germain simply can't keep up one thing for too long and will make up new goals on the spot, overwriting his memories and thought processes, and fabricating his morality afterwards to cover the lie and continue his act. As a result of this continual overwriting and pilling up lies to both others and himself, St. Germain's mind is an inconsistent mess with little that can truly be called its own.

Background
Given the dubious nature of St. Germain and the lies that accompany him, much of his background is uncertain and the subject of speculation.

St. Germain is said to have been a mysterious noble who appeared throughout medieval Europe's history over multiple regions and across multiple time periods. Among other things, he is said to have acquired a secret technique of immortality, not aging and eating nothing but water, wheat and pills. It is also said, from the strange and irregular frequency of his appearances and records of him possessing knowledge he should have had no way of knowing, that he had a method of travelling through time. He is also said to be capable of perfectly repairing scratched diamonds, a skill prized by nobles, and said to have wrote a grimoire owned by Cagliostro. In the legends and records associated with him, nothing is truly known of St. Germain, with no accurate records of birth or death, no claims of descent, no reliable graves and no record of defeat.

However in reality, St. Germain was originally nothing more than a name, and associated with a rare sort of con man. In those times, it wasn't uncommon for someone to just assume a famous name in order to infiltrate nobles' parties. The identity of St. Germain however was built from the ground up, using deceptions such as lies of places never visited, forged and delayed letters, and false appraisals, to support the various claims that were made, and was used as a sort of free pass to attend formal events or acquire investments.

Though the identity of St. Germain was originally nothing by a name and a free pass with no credibility, at some point someone gave it "life", using existing legends and Magic to see if they could make it real and then stimulating the small core they had created within the sea of knowledge to create a real crystal. Whether this was done out of fascination or to disguise something else isn't known, but the identity of St. Germain that was given life survived, using the alluring spread of legend to pass between those involved and those seeking to be witnesses, synchronizing and infecting their minds with St. Germain's ideology and organizing them into a single crystal.

The identity and the legend of St. Germain have continued to spread since then, becoming famous enough to leak from the Magic Side to normal society, and according to Othinus, if one were to ask a random magician to name ten famous people, St. Germain's name would come up along side Rosenkreuz and Mathers. St. Germain has even persisted when the world has been altered from changing the phases.

Chronology, Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, St. Germain Arc
On December 1st, St. Germain occupied Academy City's Dianoid, sealing it off from the rest of the city, in order to target Kamijou Touma and Kanou Shinka with the claimed intention of pitting the latter against the former and having him die in the process, bringing about a change that would mess with the complicated plans made by the Magic Gods in which Kamijou Touma was a key piece.

Abilities

 * The nature of St. Germain
 * Control file, parallel non-brainwave network
 * Pills containing microbes, taken to stabilize unsteady or new members
 * Virus-like

Being the type of being he is, St. Germain is also skilled at deception and manipulation, capable of putting on acts and telling lies in order to trick others into doing what he wants? (Too much credit?)

 * St Germain's legend has this tendency, unfathomable, appears in parties of nobles cut off from normal society, use understanding of hopes/desires to dye self in their colours, make use of them (immortality, time travel, knowledge etc as lures), positions reverse and dyes them in his colours, no leading roles/minor roles/actors/audience, like matter drawn to nucleus of crystal not different from nucleus - single crystal known as St. Germain

 * When absorbed by liquid (saliva), resume functioning and invade body of one who ingested them
 * 0.1% impurity in 99.9% pure crystal
 * Not nucleus/terminal, outsider, like with coloured diamonds functions as controller to rearrange properties of crystal (Last Order/Fremea might come to mind)
 * If all of them repeatedly spreading like ever-growing crystal always need pills, restricted. Impurity less than 0.1%, took much causes defect, most unstable part.
 * New, weary, worked loose member, lost control, settings file to stabilize errors, microbes trigger

St. Germain's form is that of a collective identity, held between multiple members of a synchronized and parallel network, with a structure similar to that of a pure diamond. Similar to how the nucleus of the crystal and the materials around it are identical, there are no central units in this network, with all members acting as control towers and terminals. As such, it can continue functioning even with the loss of a member.

The crystal that is St. Germain expands by infecting others with St. Germain's thoughts and ideology, synchronizing them and making them part of the crystalline network.

The crystallization infects and alters the victim's personalities through an acting trance. It operates in a similar manner to the way in which ritual magicians purify their thoughts and synchronize themselves (wearing the same uniform, eating the same foods, going to the same place at the same time etc) in order to dye themselves in the same colours and achieve the optimum result when they carry out their ritual. The legend of St. Germain has the same tendency, with St. Germain appearing in gatherings of nobles cut-off from normal society and using his understanding to dye himself in their colours before making use of them, exploiting their desires and curiosity, leading to their positions reversing and them becoming dyed in his colours instead. Those who are involved and those who seek to be involved with St. Germain are gathered, drawn in by curiosity or desire, and gradually dyed in St. Germain's colours to the extent that they become part of the crystal.

Eventually the positions would be reversed and the victims are instead dyed in St. Germain's colours to the extent that they become part of the crystal.

The network doesn't utilize brainwaves and can expand into anyone regardless of their genetic code.

Much like how even the purest diamond is only 99.9% pure, with the remaining 0.1% impurities determining the diamond's overall properties, the giant crystal and parallel network that is St. Germain has an equivalent controller or settings file. In this case, it comes in the form of the black pills that St. Germain carries around with him, as mentioned in his legend. These pills are comprised of microbes, dried by the thousands and while dry, mostly inert but capable of remaining alive for years. When the microbes are absorbed by liquid, such as saliva, they resume functioning and invade the body of the person who has ingested them. They are used in order to stabilize errors, such as with new or weary members, or members who have been worked loose from the crystal and lost control, preventing unwanted impurities from building up, causing defects in the crystalline structure and leading it to collapse.

Chambord
The Chambord (シャンボール) is a spiritual item which is used by St. Germain to manipulate carbon. It takes the form of spear in the shape of a, with the words 'St. Germain' engraved on it. Named after the site of his former laboratory, it provides the tools St. Germain needs to pursue his research themes. Derived and developed from the legend of St. Germain being able to repair scratched diamonds, the Chambord can manipulate carbon-based materials, such as diamonds, melting them down and forming them into new shapes, such as spears, walls, and even more Chambords. In carbon-rich environments such as the Dianoid, which is almost entirely constructed from carbon-based materials, St. Germain is capable of skewering his opponent with spears from all directions. The Chambord is also fairly durable, capable of withstanding and catching a shot from Mugino Shizuri's Meltdowner.

As organic matter is also comprised of carbon, the Chambord is also capable of manipulating it. Aside from the microbes that allow St. Germain to spread and opening up holes in people to allow the spears to pass through them to the target, St. Germain uses this aspect of the Chambord to create beasts made up of plant cells. Unlike normal plant cells which provide all necessary life functions but lack mobility, these plant cells are divided between different functions and reunified to stimulate optimization. The beasts created from this plant matter are stronger than ones of animal matter, given the cell wall that the plant cells have as opposed to an animal cell's membrane. These incomplete beasts can incorporate St.Germains into their structure and can also split into different smaller creatures. Some of them are also capable of producing and emitting carbon monoxide.

Character Art Designs
According to Haimura Kiyotaka, he thought his initial designs for the gentleman type and lady type St. Germains were too plain, and so for the second version, designed them to look like they had put together a magician costume from the party section of, making them really look like scam artists. He also gave the Chambord a treble clef motif. The common theme for the outfits is kept for the several variations of St. Germain, with the Chambord being kept small enough to be held in one hand.

Toaru Nichijou no Index-san

 * とある日常のいんでっくすさん
 * Toaru Nichijou no Index-san Manga Volume 03 (verify release date/ISBN/contents)

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

 * 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

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.
 * Kakine Teitoku
 * Destruction of residual information (Where? Ensemble?)

Five Over OS (Outsider) (ファイブオーバーOS(アウトサイダー))

Modelcase_"MENTAL_OUT"
ファイブオーバー モデルケース・メンタルアウト (Five Over Modelcase Mental Out)

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.

 * Background

The conflict of the arc is rooted in the similarities between Shokuhou Misaki and Mitsuari Ayu, both having similar powers and both having similar memories with Touma. In accordance with Parameter List, Misaki was given focus and development for her powers while Ayu was kept as a mere back-up in the event of her death.

Ayu had already met Touma prior to him meeting Misaki. Due to the circumstances surrounding development, Ayu falls into despair and considered 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.

She survives her attempt at Ground Geo, however, and was then drawn to Academy City's dark side. She discovers Misaki's relationship with Touma and thus resents her for not only stealing her chance to become Level 5, but also for being saved when she wasn't. Shundou Toshizou would later make use of her, manipulating Ayu without her noticing, for the purpose of finally stealing Mental Out for himself. For this purpose, he likely lends her the equipment that she would use for her vengeance. Using the equipment, she camouflages Ground Geo using the FIVE_Over OS and somehow inserts a Strobila on Misaki in order to torment her and create doubt that would eventually lead to her to erase her own memories of Touma believing them to be fake.


 * Chronology

Early in the arc, Misaki reminisces of her time with Touma in the summer a year ago before he lost his memories of her. She visits places around Academy City that is significant to her memories of Touma until at last she arrives at Ground Geo. There, she falls for Ayu's ruse and believes her memories have been manipulated.

Misaki later concludes that the only other person she knows that is capable of matching her is Kumokawa Seria and travels to where she believes Seria is hiding. When at last she comes upon the place is caught in her trap by her. Misaki pleads her case to Seria and tells her of its involvement with her memories of Touma. Convinced, Seria helps her and soon discovers that a Strobila device has been implanted into her. Misaki later leaves with the Strobila in Seria's possession in order to find out who the true culprit behind it being implanted into Misaki, pained by the thought that her memories with Touma might be false.

However, Seria is not the only one who is aware of Misaki's investigation. Misaki is visited again by the Ringlet curl girl asking her if she needs assistance, though Misaki dismisses her again. Much more pressing however is Ayu discovering that Misaki has finally discovered what was going on. After the removal of the Strobila, Ayu had several of her subordinates approach Misaki disguised as Emergency Aid workers to replace it under the guise of treatment for instability. But Misaki sees through their ruse and manages to take control of them. She questions one of them and discovers that the Strobila had no actual data and that it was only used to make her doubt her own memories so she would erase them herself.

She is enraptured by the revelation that her memories may be real after all. She then calls upon the Ringlet curl girl and the rest of her clique that is willing to follow her as she needs their aid in finding out the truth behind the doubt in her memories, which is in Ground Geo.

 * 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 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).

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.

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
