Bridge Builders Cabal

 * Consulate to go under Bases

{{Spoiler block|Draft| {{Scroll box|

Principles
The Bridge Builders Cabal dwells in the hidden part of the world, and is made up of powerful magicians, each capable of rivalling the regular Magic Side on their own, who have gathered in order to collectively decide how to make the world a better place.

Transcendents
The cabal's members are potent magicians and magical entities from various backgrounds, who refer to themselves as Transcendents (超絶者).

Transcendents have been described as each being powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on their own, such that the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church could not stop with them in the usual way (though the Bologna Succubus briefly noted that some of them might be closer to what the Russian Orthodox Church was used to dealing with).

While the exact nature of their power differs, they are each capable of destroying or changing the world in their own way and each have their own reasons to want to change the world. However, it would much easier for them to wreck a world than creating or protecting one, and if they destroyed a world they wouldn't be able to remake everything they had destroyed afterwards (as a fully-fledged Magic God might be able to do), which is why they gathered together to discuss and agree on how the world needed to change before actually making the changes, so their efforts wouldn't be jeopardized.

They have been described as those who have passed down and provided guidance in magic, a collection of myths and stories that present knowledge at its simplest (which is apparently why their power is strangely missing from records such as those kept by the Anglican grimoire library), and monsters who do not fall purely into the human categories of Science Side and Magic Side. They have been described as each having a legend on the same level as Anna Sprengel, with one reigning above the rest. In a conversation between Anna and Aradia surrounding the subject, letters and notes, texts from correspondence lessons, urban legends, coded, analyzed and rearranged texts, were talked of.

At least some of the Transcendents use 'common tone creation' (共通トーン作成) to translate and synthesize their speech into unfamiliar languages.

Plans and Rules
When Aradia was guiding Anna Sprengel through their base in an introduction to the group, she told her she was free to do what she wanted, so long as she followed a simple rule - to not upset Alice. As if simply explaining what she saw as a basic universal law and perfectly reasonable, she advised Anna against the contrarian urge of a magician to do something they were told not to do, not to restrict them or test their courage but out of legitimate concern, saying that there was no point in listing and comparing specifications, and that she could not defeat Alice on a more fundamental level. She also alluded to an incident where Alice got upset and start throwing her things around, somehow leading to water and traces of life on a planet dozens of light-years away which was subsequently discovered and being talked about by the public, describing reality as fickle. Alice was described as pure and innocent but capricious, cruel and violent, such that no one could predict what she would do next. If Alice wanted something (such as a giant duck), the brilliant magicians in the group would gather, plan and make it, as though critically important regardless of its actual nature. Prioritizing Anna greeting Alice, Aradia said that if Alice gave permission for Anna to stay, the others would not take issue, but also said not to think that she could avoid detection if she did.

Killers and Rescuers
On December 29th, on the suggestions of newcomer Anna Sprengel, Alice visited Kamijou Touma. Her time with him resulted in a change in her which was detrimental to the cabal's plans. The group became divided over how best to address the issue, and as a result became split into two factions; the Killers (殺害派) and the Rescuers (救出派).

The Killers simply wanted to kill the source of the change in an effort to return Alice to normal as soon as possible. The Rescuers wanted to keep Touma alive, at least for the time being, and monitor the situation, deeming it too risky to eliminate him as they didn't know how his death might influence Alice. Aradia was on the side of the Killers, while Good Old Mary and the Bologna Succubus sided with the Rescuers.

Bases
The group's base has been determined by Alice's whims and what has caught her interest, with no other real reason for its form or the group having a single base. In the past, perhaps influenced by an American drama, Alice had created a remote island prison and had been having fun in it until a time still recent when Anna arrived, and Aradia remarked that she might say she wanted an elf forest or a magic school next.

Their current base at the time of December 29th is located in the middle of a rainforest, in one of the few secluded areas still considered inviolable, upstream of a river winding across several national borders. It resembles a modern stadium, with countless bookcases set up in the tiered stands and the central interior flooded, with a 100m cruise ship floating in the middle in which the group lives. There is at least one giant yellow duck roaming around. Rooms in the ship include a kitchen and a bathroom.

At the very bottom of the ship, where modern cruise ships might have a pool or a theater, there is a circular colosseum, with the scents of old paper and a strong oily smell like from animal hide parchment. At the center is a giant throne of gold and red, meant for Alice, with a back likely more than 3 times its intended occupant's height and elevated such that her feet would not reach the floor.



Background
Not much is known about the group and its past, though until recently Alice had been having fun in a remote island prison she had created, and an incident in which she got upset was responsible for water and traces of life on a planet dozens of light-years away, which was subsequently discovered and being talked about by the public around the time that Anna was introduced to the group.

Trivia

 * It should be noted that a similar yet different term has been used previously to refer to certain other powerful beings, such as Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass, Great Demon Coronzon, and the Secret Chiefs, referred to as transcendent beings (超越存在).

}} }}
 * In the afterword of , Kamachi Kazuma mentioned that he designed Aradia, the Bologna Succubus and Good Old Mary so one could compare them and make good guesses about the average and basic specifications of the standard Transcendents. He also suggested that after such a comparison, it might be fun to imagine how extraordinary Alice was compared to them for what she did, and what the difference was between a standard Transcendent who could use their charisma to start a cult or riot and Anna Sprengel who created a giant IT company to mess with the world.
 * Additionally, he mentioned how compared to a Magic God, who would be satisfied in creating their ideal world on their own, one could see how the Transcendents had basically ed their diffusion and destruction skills, being capable of destroying everything with ease but being unable to remake it all afterwards, to their irritation. He added that this made them reluctant to play their one and only card when Othinus destroyed the world (as if they killed her in the Black World, they couldn't remake the world like she could) and they were caught up in it and killed as a result.

Alice Anotherbible
{{Spoiler block|Draft| {{Scroll box|

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Alice is powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on her own, and she is exceptional even amongst her fellow Transcendents, standing above them.
 * Resilience
 * Psychedelic mind
 * Immune to ghost 'death' curse
 * Origins in Magick

Live Adventures in Wonderland
Alice's unique magic, known as Live Adventures in Wonderland (ライブアドベンチャーズインワンダーランド), is a Kabbalah-based power that is capable of affecting the entire world. By going on an adventure with someone, she can link together different ideas, laws and definitions, innocently using her magic to build bridges between them, regardless of pre-existing connections and flawed premises, to find new meanings, create new paths, and influence reality.
 * Example

The world as influenced by Alice's magic, sometimes called Alice's world (アリスの世界) or Wonderland (ワンダーランド),  is a storybook one that can be greatly removed from how the real world would normally be. When Touma confronted Alice on what she had been doing, time appeared to freeze and only the two of them remained facing one another in the space they were in at the time. The frozen landscape outside was greatly changed, with a giant tower above the current location, enormous pumpkins shaped like human faces growing from the ground all over the place and breaking through asphalt, five-point shooting stars drawing trails behind them in the night sky, and incomprehensible ancient characters and diagrams dancing around like neon signs, while Alice tore open and another Alice emerged from within.

On being convinced to put things back the way they were and Alice giving a verbal command to immediately cease all modified kabbalah bridge linking within Live Adventures in Wonderland, there was a thunk like a metal lock opening, followed by a light which enveloped Touma, with senses and surroundings fading away, eventually restarting at the time, place and events where Wonderland's effects had previously begun to be applied. Touma had suspected that if he had continued through the optimal world without questioning it, all of the pieces would have intertwined and become real.

Wonderland-related Manifestations
There are a number of entities connected to Wonderland which Alice manifests automatically as a form of psychological defense to deal with any attack or obstacle which she cannot avoid by herself. This is apparently not out of protecting herself or fear of injury, but because an attack that hits her and obstructs her movement is likely to anger her and lead her to kill the offender without even meaning to or without thinking, so she makes sure to block attacks so that does not happen.

Initially, this takes the form of a pink flamingo acting as a cricket bat and hedgehogs curled up into balls (the latter of which Alice sometimes uses as a cushion), appearing from her dress.

Beyond the cricket defense is an emaciated, bony, axe-wielding figure, wrapped in a tattered black cloak, that emerges from her shadow, known as the '''. Should an opponent escape the Executioner's blade, they will likely be faced by Alice's own power. Another figure that was summoned during the events at the consulate is the Gurifon (グリフォン), a beast with the front half of a bird and the rear half of the lion, at least 7m long with a wingspan of 20m or more, with high physical destructive and defensive power. }}

Aradia
{{Spoiler block|Draft| {{Scroll box|

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Aradia is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on her own. She is described as a goddess of witches, the moon and the night.

Like many witches, Aradia makes extensive use of ointments and plant-based mixtures. In her case, the 'palette' of chemical compounds that are her ingredients are stored in the gold decorations she wears, with herbs kneaded into the malleable gold for storage. By rubbing the key-shaped clasps, powder is produced which falls to her feet and she mixes in her sweat, sebum or oil by stepping on it barefoot, creating an ointment and a 'shadow' that powers her magic. This shadow does not change regardless of the light shining around it and remains just one shadow even if light sources are shining from multiple directions.

Aradia also makes extensive use of the Rule of Three, a concept at the core of Wicca where the effects of a witch's magic, regardless of whether it is used for a good deed or a bad one, return to the witch at three times the strength (e.g. if one uses magic to steal money, they would lose thrice as much, and if they use magic to kill, they would receive a wound thrice as lethal). The rule, meant to keep witches on the right path, is one which is supposedly difficult to use in practice and a double-edged sword that can lead to self-destruction, but Aradia is skilled at manipulating events so that her deeds are framed as 'good' and exploiting the rule to reap the benefits. The Wiccan spell which she uses to do so is known as Reload Three Times,  with the 'weapon' being 'reloaded' being her 'shadow'. By performing a chain of continual 'good' deeds, Aradia can amass good fortune, bolster her magic, and cause her power to snowball. She also has a few contingencies in place to avoid a potential backlash. Performing a deed corresponding to a spell and its desired outcome increases that spell's effects and the likehood of that outcome (for example, helping a child find their parents via a simple divination to support a search spell to locate someone for her).

Coupled with the ability to frame her deeds as good and exploit good deeds for malicious ends, Aradia is skilled at manipulating people and proselytizing, allowing her to rapidly build a coven of new witches, which share a portion of her power (including the binding and usage of the Rule of Three) and can draw on her spells, inscribed in the Book of Shadows granted to them.

Aradia has a number of spells relating to divination, and possesses a search spell based on Kuma no Shibō (熊の脂肪), capable of sweeping the entire Shibuya area. Like some other Transcendents, she uses 'common tone creation' (共通トーン作成) to translate and synthesize her speech into unfamiliar languages.

Seal Release
Like many other Transcendents in the Bridge Builders Cabal, Aradia can release a seal in order to draw on power transcending that of regular humans, with an incantation involving the declaration of "Risk 4" (リスク4) and "departing human territory" (人域離脱). In the case of Aradia, this power is in the form of the Sansō Megami (三相女神) and the nature of her seal is a triple seal (三重封印).

With its activation of the triple goddess within her flesh, she invoked the night, moon and witches, and how ancient goddesses of wisdom (giving Hecate, Isis, the Morrígan and Freyja as examples) would view the world from three perspectives while providing the priestess serving them with a powerful protection.

When she attempted to use this power during the climax of her battle with Kamijou Touma, her shadow then stretched in three different directions and spun around her in a circle with an inhuman shape, but the great power was negated by Imagine Breaker before anything further could be seen. }} }}

Good Old Mary
{{Spoiler block|Draft| {{Scroll box|

Personality
Mary tends to refer to herself in the third-person as 'mama' (ママ様).

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Good Old Mary is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on her own. She has been described as possessing alchemical skill and note compilation techniques that can produce seeming miracles on the same level as her namesake, and she has described herself as being able to create a small universe in a clear box, and make use of any and all recipes.

The versatility of Mary's alchemy allows her to act as an all-round, capable of attacking, defending, healing, supporting and more, with minimal preparations. However, her tools are vulnerable in close-quarters combat. (Ranking) Outside of her alchemy, Mary is also a good cook. Like some other Transcendents, she uses 'common tone creation' to translate and synthesize her speech into unfamiliar languages.

Alchemy
Mary's alchemical method to create a small universe inside a clear vessel allows her to turn the area in her immediate proximity, within a radius of several meters from her body, into her own territory (her kitchen, so to speak) and induce a variety of phenomena within it. The kitchen-type tools attached to her toolbelt are spiritual items which act as the materials for her spells, with her method as a magician using spiritual items to produce magic having the image of a cook using cooking utensils to make meals. She can activate her magic without any preparations like chanting a spell or setting up her spiritual items, (Ranking) such while standing still and not touching her tools.

For offensive attacks, Mary can generate multiple loud explosions, capable of bending the metal double doors on the back of a shipping container and blowing one off, as well as incapacitating the individuals within without damaging the nearby equipment. Some of her other specific attacks include lava erupting from the ground (地面から噴き出す溶岩), a large dump-shaped mass (ダンプ形状の大質量) and a giant iron ball used in demolition work (解体工事等で使う巨大鉄球). (Ranking) For defense, she can produce barriers in the form of an invisible wall. (Ranking) Using steam/vapor, she can render herself invisible. (?) (Ranking)

The tools on her belt include a fancy Swiss multi-tool, a portable pot with a collapsible handle, a small burner usable as a stove, and a sandwich toaster, in addition to a knife with a seal mascot on it.

Resurrection Recipe
Among Mary's repertoire is a Resurrection Recipe (復活の調合法), apparently linked to an alchemical formula lost in the 1st or 3rd century. It repairs a dead human body to a clean, uninjured state at the moment of cardiac arrest. Although it completely heals the body, it has a great cost, it cannot directly bring back the soul, the patient will still require CPR, and it does not return lost blood. It has been described as a purely medical phenomenon that may look like a miracle but only affects the physical body.

If a target has lost too much blood then they won't be able to be revived - their heart will not beat, the mind will not restart and they will not breathe on their own, leaving just an intact hunk of flesh which will slowly begin to rot. Depending on the amount of blood lost, a blood transplant or the injection of a suitable substitute to stabilize blood pressure, and keeping the target ready for resuscitation with any necessary measures, might allow for a target that would otherwise be impossible to be revived to be saved.

There is a limit to how many times the technique can be used to revive a person and if it is repeatedly used, a rejection reaction can occur, reducing its effectiveness. In the case of Kamijou Touma (so far revived three times), his Imagine Breaker needed to be severed each time to prevent it from intervering with the resurrection, increasing the blood loss.

Seal Release
Like many other Transcendents in the Bridge Builders Cabal, Mary can release a seal in order to draw on power transcending that of regular humans, with an incantation involving the declaration of "Risk 4" (リスク4) and "departing human territory" (人域離脱). In the case of Mary, this power is in the form of spatially-sealed giant experimental equipment (実験器具), sealed in space/sealed perfect universe with, and the nature of her seal is the First/One Seal (一なる封印).(Axiom-related?)

During the battle at the consulate, Mary summoned the Jōryū-ki (Toribikosu), a three-necked distillation flask, larger than a domed stadium, with the legs alone the size of a steel tower. With the insides of the flask pulsing as though alive, it spits out death and destruction from within as an attack (possibly toxic gas or a mass of cosmic energy).

Aside from the Tribikos, she also has the Kanryū Sōchi (Kerotakisu) and Hoon nabe (Banmari).

Trivia
}} }}
 * The name of Good Old Mary's seal might be derived from the, one of the alchemical precepts attributed to Mary/Maria; roughly, "one becomes two, two becomes three, and out of the third comes the one as the fourth."

Etymology
Trismegistus, specifically ("Thrice-Great") - syncretized from the Greek  (H) and the Egyptian  (T), is a legendary figure whose attributed works form the basis of Hermeticism.

The initials before Trismegistus are derived from the first letters of either the syncretized deities behind Hermes Trismegistus (the default above) or the deities he is currently invoking.

Appearance
Trismegistus is a black-haired man, described as looking like a gloomy young butler. He wears an old-fashioned black coat with a brown lining, a light blue tailcoat,   a white inner shirt, a brown cravat, dark grey trousers, white gloves,  black shoes and triangular brimmed hat. He also has a black cane, less than a 1m long, hiding a sword.

Personality
Trismegistus is calm, meticulous, polite and humble on the surface, acting as a butler to Alice Anotherbible, calling her his 'beloved' master (afraid of her anger as a tyrant in his heart) and himself merely a servant. However, he is also ruthless against any obstacles or threats, and if he determines something to be a dangerous element, he will immediately move to eliminate it without holding back. He believes salvation and punishment should be dealt equally.

Trismegistus has a tendency to include "commmon sense says" or similar variations in his speech.

Background
The legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus ("Hermes Thrice-Great"), a syncretization of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, was the attributed author of works such as the Hermetica, which form the basis of Hermeticism.(Ref) Besides the influence of Hermeticism (and thus Trismegistus) on the Golden Dawn (a.k.a. the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn),(Ref) aspects tied to Trismegistus are also present in Thelema and Magick, with Hermes and Thoth are equated in Aleister Crowley's occult dictionary Liber 777,  as well as Thoth's name being used for the Thoth Tarot and the Egyptian god of writing also being associated with the Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass.

As for the Transcendent Trismegistus, his exact background before and after joining the Bridge Builders Cabal is currently unknown.

Post-Handcuffs Arc
When Aradia was guiding Anna around their base, she prioritized introduction to Alice, saying that Trismegistus could wait. After the events surrounding the crash of the Overhunting, as well as the battle in the Vanishing Tunnel, Alice was brought back from Academy City by Anna. Greeting Alice upon her return, H. T. Trismegistus and the others in the group were shocked and dismayed to find that Alice's newfound interest in Kamijou Touma had swayed her from using her magic to benefit their plans.

Trismegistus and Old Good Mary accompanied Alice when she went to greet Kamijou Touma as he and others were making their New Year's Day shrine visits in School District 12. During the encounter, he dissuaded Shokuhou Misaki from peering inside Alice's mind.

On January 2nd, Trismegistus greeted Alice when she brought Touma's group to the consulate, cleaning mud from her clothes and beginning to prepare some games to amuse her for when she showed the guests around her new secret base. After briefly facing Alice's wrath when Touma inadvertently told her about the Killers, Trismegistus explained how they were planning to execute Anna Sprengel for her betrayal.

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Trismegistus is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on his own.

Trismegistus is capable of producing various items from thin air in a manner resembling that of a stage magician, as well as making them disappear again. Whether this involves storage compartments hidden within his cloak is unknown. Items he has produced include cleaning tools and a long, narrow adult-sized coffin with slits for stabbing swords into.

Trismegistus wields a Shikomizue (仕込み杖), disguised as an ordinary black walking cane less than 1m long. When using the sword, Trismegistus simply rapidly unsheathes it from its scabbard and slashes, in the manner of or. Trismegistus doesn't need to hit his target with the blade, as it produces a projectile slash when unsheathed, with cleaves through obstacles in its path, with a range of at least 10m. The slashing attack (斬撃) is extremely fast and difficult to avoid. In addition, the attack's direction is not always straight and can be changed. Glass and similar materials can also be used to diffusely reflect the attack. With his seal released, Trismegistus can add other phenomena, such as fire, water, light, crystals etc, to his slashing attacks, allowing him to produce blasts, bombs, water jets and more in addition to cutting.

Seal Release
Like many other Transcendents in the Bridge Builders Cabal, Trismegistus can release a seal in order to draw on power transcending that of regular humans, with an incantation involving the declaration of "Risk 4" (リスク4) and "departing human territory" (人域離脱). In the case of Trismegistus, this power is in the form of 'one thrice greater' (三倍も偉大なる者) and the nature of his seal is an uncountable/countless seal (数なき封印).

By invoking the names and imbuing the powers of two existing gods into his right and left hands, Trismegistus forms a from his hands (the invoked gods) and his main body (himself) to temporarily evolve his own power into that of a new, false creator god (偽装創作神). When doing this, his initials change to reflect the deities whose power he is channelling, such as Hermes (H), Thoth (T), Zeus (Z), Indra (I), Odin (O) and Mercurius (M). Depending on the combinations of these gods, the characteristics of his magic (e.g. fire, light, crystals etc) change.

Trivia

 * Items which Trismegistus has produced from his pockets or out of mid-air besides the coffin, include a leather notebook, a heavy load of movie pamphlets and TRPG rulebooks, a handkerchief, detergent, a dryer, an iron, and a leather jacket.

Etymology
(meaning "mother" in ancient Egyptian) is a mother goddess and primal deity associated with the primordial waters of Nu, often said to have been the husband of the solar creator god and mother of the lunar god. She was a patron deity of, Egypt's capital city and site of the , where the three were worshipped as the.

Appearance
Mut Thebes looks to be a skinny girl of about 15, with long wavy blonde hair and brown skin, wearing thin belts and pure gold ornaments.

Personality
Matching the symbolism of a mother protecting her children or a queen protecting her people, Mut Thebes will apparently do whatever it takes to protect her decided territory, currently the Bridge Builders Cabal.

Background
Mut Thebes's exact background before and after joining the Bridge Builders Cabal is currently unknown.

Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index
On January 2nd, Mut Thebes was present when Alice brought Kamijou Touma's group to the cabal's newly established consulate in School District 12, as Trismegistus told the boy of their intent to execute Anna Sprengel for her betrayal.

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Mut Thebes is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on her own. Besides her roots in Egyptian Mythology, she apparently specializes in punishment and execution, and has been called an expert in executing Transcendents.

A tool for executing Transcendents at her disposal is the Shrink Drink (矮小液体)(verify any kana), a spiritual item derived from Alice in Wonderland. It takes the form of 150cm long spears, probably javelins given their length and likely reach, with glass spearheads containing a fluorescent pink liquid and the words "Drink Me" engraved on the shafts. In the story, the drink physically shrank the imbiber, and the Shrink Drink is intended to similarly diminish a Transcendent by weakening them and taking away their power, in a similar manner to the Fairy spell used on Othinus.
