Stiyl Magnus

Stiyl Magnus (ステイル＝マグヌス) is a magician with Necessarius and was once one of Index's partners. He is currently assisting Arch-Bishop Laura.

Profile
A sorcerer from Necessarius. His sorcery name is Fortis931, "My name is the strongest proof, here is why". He is an extremely heavy smoker; he claims a world without nicotine would be hell. He specializes in using runes to invoke his power over fire. He wears a black robe and has long red hair, and a bar code tattooed on his cheek.

He's physically very weak as shown when he was beaten by Touma. Though this is explained as casting Innocentius needing vast amounts of energy, leaving his body weakened compared to others

Personality
He has a short temper but is actually kind, as he cares about Index very much and his failure to save her life without losing her memories was his greatest regret. When he learns the Church lied to him and Kaori about Index's condition, he decides to disobey orders to capture Index and allow her to live her life. He doesn't like Touma much but respects his abilites and that Index was happy with her current partner.

Abilities
He's a magician who specializes in Fire Magic and Runes.


 * Runes: He uses runes placed on cards to activate various this such as create a field that no one can enter or summoning Innocentius. It's said this rune is one newly created by him after studying the pre-existing runes.


 * Fire Magic: He uses Fire Magic based on runes primarily and is very skilled in it, able to manipulate fire and heal burns. He is also capable of burning the face off people and recreate it to a new face, shown when he changed to physical appearance of Auroleus to prevent Auroleus being captured.

Spells

 * Vampire Killing Cross: Creates an flaming cross
 * Flaming Sword: Creates an 2000 degree flame sword
 * Innocentius: A 3000-degree-Celsius fire monster summoned with a lengthy incantation and rune cards, a.k.a (魔女狩りの王, Majokari no Ō?, "King of Witch Hunters"). It can't be destroyed unless the runes are removed.
 * Empty Area: Using the 'Opila' rune to create an area that no one enters outside intended targets.
