 * John Dee (July 13 1527 – December 1608 or March 1609) was a Welsh mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, occultist, navigator, imperialist and consultant to Queen Elizabeth I. He devoted much of his life to the study of alchemy, divination and Hermetic philosophy. During his later years John Dee completely lost all courtly income when King James I—well known for his fear of witches, witchcraft, and the supernatural, including astrology—succeeded Queen Elizabeth I in 1603.

 * NT22R Prologue: "Was it Mathers who had said the Secret Chiefs had the physical appearance of those who had drunk the Elixir of Life?". Origin of the reference from Mathers' Manifesto (1896): When such rendezvous has been in a much frequented place, there has been nothing in their personal appearance or dress to mark them out as differing in any way from ordinary people except the appearance and sensation of transcendental health and physical vigour (whether they seemed persons in youth or in age) which was their invariable accompaniment. In other words, the physical appearance which the possession of the Elixir of Life has traditionally been supposed to confer.

Things I have taken upon myself to do/help do

 * Try to put cites correctly (when it should be before/after punctuation)
 * Updating references to current standards
 * For family members in character infobox, try to uniformize it all: should the words be capitalized?, should they be in italics?, etc. Find reasoning.
 * PSP references changed to JeruTz Translations instead of atwiki
 * Pure World has many options of nihongos from atwiki:
 * 教に依らない科学の世界（純粋なる物理法則の世界), (Kyō ni yoranai kagaku no sekai (junsuinaru butsuri hōsoku no sekai)), litterally "Science world not dependent on religious teachings (world of pure physical law)"
 * 純粋な物理法則の世界, (Junsuina butsuri hōsoku no sekai), litterally "The World of Pure Physical Law"
 * 真なる科学の世界, (Shin'naru kagaku no sekai), litterally "The world of true science"
 * Distortion of the Laws of the World: 四大元素の歪み (distortion of the four major elements) or 世界の歪み (distortion of the world)
 * For Spiritual Item:
 * “A-Anyway, the holy swords and magic wands used in ceremonies can be made with modern materials as substitutes, but there is a limit. …This especially goes for sacred items related to God such as the Lance of Longinus, Joseph’s Holy Grail, or The_ROOD. Even after 1000 years, it seems no substitutes can be made… ow…” (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 01 Chapter 2 Part 2)
 * “I’m not lying to you. Here’s an example. Wouldn’t there be a cross at the top of the roof of a church? These crosses have a special power, but are these crosses the ones used to kill the saints? The answer is obviously no. The crosses on the top of the churches are all fake, but even a fake can have power. As long as the shape and purpose is similar, it can obtain a small portion of the real one. This is the Idol Theory.” (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 04 Chapter 1 Part 1)
 * “For Touma’s sake, I’ll give a brief explanation. The Idol Theory is a form of basic knowledge that allows us to put the power of God and angels to good use. According to this theory, if one were to build a duplicate of the cross on which Christ was crucified and put it on the roof of a church, some of the holy power from those actual cross-wielders will be replicated. The power of the duplicate is not even 0.000000000001% of the original's--even the greatest legendary duplicate, Holy Manger, contains only a small fraction of that power--but if someone obtained even 1% of the original's power, they could match even the Twelve Apostles.” All over the world, from the ones on churches to the ones hanging on nuns’ necks, there were a lot of crosses. But even with the power split away into so many duplicates, the power of the original was almost limitless. Maybe it’s like how the sun provides solar power for electricity, Kamijou guessed wildly. (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 07 Chapter 2 Part 2)
 * In the Idol Theory of Christianity, when duplicating the Cross that the Son of God was executed on, the duplicate will have some power as well (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 09 Chapter 2 Part 2)
 * St Peter’s cross had a huge historical link with the St Peter’s Basilica, and even all of Rome and Vatican. It was the highest level of a spiritual weapon of all Christianity. / The Croce di Pietro. It truly existed in history, but up till now, the Roman Catholic Church had never revealed it. It could be said to be the highest level of spiritual item in historical ‘legends’ that could be compared to the holy items that the Son of God left behind. (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 09 Chapter 4 Part 6)
 * “Normally, the tool used to cast magic is by a special item that the caster finds suitable to use…” (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 11 Chapter 3 Part 5)
 * A spiritual item was either a tool prepared in order to use magic or a tool that used magic and autonomously functioned. (Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Kanzaki Chapter 1 Part 1)
 * Spiritual items were nothing more than tools used to assist in the use of magic. Rarer ones would sometimes ignore the magician using them and they were wielded as the core of the magic, but the person was still essentially at the center. A human magician wielded the spiritual item and passed magic power through it to activate the spell using the necessary ceremony. (Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test Chapter 8 Part 2)
 * Semi-Open AR visible on the cover of SS2. Find translation of the cyrillic that can be glimpsed if I can.

 * Some updates to Christianity: add Beast of the Apocalypse for Crowley, Angels/Fallen Angels, Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel, St. Peter, Saint, etc.
 * Lots of character designs in articles have Haimura's comments on it with no link to his blog or where the translations come from. Try to source them using the original posts that translated them (js06 translated somewhere on /a/, but I can only find some of them on Animesuki, up to OT12) . Done. Ask for permission to edit Laura Stuart's page to include her character design notes.
