Voodoo
Voodoo (ブードゥ) is an African diaspora religion, a mishmash of Afro-Caribbean witchcraft and necromancy.
 * User:All fictions/Article Drafts

Principles
AF:
 * 1: Voodoo comes in two major flavors: Haitian Vodou (also Vodun or Voudoun) and New Orleans Voodoo. Both derive from West African Dahomeyan religions, along with Lucumi/Santeria, Umbanda, Candomble, and similar beliefs, which share certain similarities. The slave trade brought these beliefs to the New World, where they became syncretized with the Catholicism and Francophone culture of the slave owners, with a little Native American influence where applicable. Louisiana Voodoo is closely tied to hoodoo, a form of folk magic from which come the famous gris-gris bags and mojo hands. Many such practitioners officially identify as Catholic. Haitian Vodou is an ecstatic religion, focusing on possession by the spirits or lwa (loa).

 * Like most Magic, Voodoo Magic has a variety of uses, the most known are Necromancy and using Voodoo dolls (an effigy of a person) to manipulate them from a distance. The user can utilize voodoo magic, ie. access supernatural forces to improve their daily lives to attain power or success ("luck") in many areas of life including money, love, divination, revenge, health, employment, and necromancy. Extensive use is made of herbs, minerals, parts of animals' bodies, an individual's possessions and bodily fluids, but in most cases, the individual have to offer up someone very close to them in order to sell their souls, eventually culminating in paying with their own lives.

There are a number of concepts which are commonly associated with Voodoo, some originating from cultures where Voodoo is also present, but are technically the result of misconceptions or falsities. Despite this, these concepts and their association with Voodoo can be put into practice regardless.

In-Series Fragments:
 * Spells can be cast using a mirror and a sword.
 * Present in the Carribean where pirates once ruled.

Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index
A member of the true Gremlin, Zombie, has a background rooted in Voodoo as well as actively drawing in a great number of cultures, giving her an affinity for almost anything which allowed her to devise a spell which would allow the Magic Gods to safely enter the world after their Hidden World was breached. Toyama Luca of the Kamisato Faction also makes use of Voodoo-based magic as a follower of Legba Atibon.

Uses of Voodoo and associated concepts in the story

 * Legba Atibon: A loa who serves as the intermediary between the loa and humanity, standing at a spiritual crossroads, and a facilitator of communication, speech and understanding, believed to speak all human languages.
 * Luca follows Legba Atibon and makes use of his role as a deity who manages ceremonies (indirectly appearing in all Voodoo ceremonies through his role as intermediary), therefore not just existing on a specific ceremonial day but at all times, to achieve control of subjective time, allowing her to change the age of her external appearance and prepare magic normally once-in-a-decade in seconds.
 * Sacrificial Rituals: There are some pacts associated with Voodoo which involve a person selling their soul to gain power and require them to regularly sacrifice others, otherwise they pay with their own life. These sacrifices can't just be anyone and have to be people whom it pains them to sacrifice, such as family members or lovers.
 * Salome refers to Voodoo practitioners who, having sold their soul, must annually sacrifice someone dear to them or forfeit their own life, when describing her own sacrificial magic and what she has sacrificed.
 * Voodoo Dolls: Effigies which represent a person, sometimes with a piece of them attached, and used to manipulate or bring harm upon them.
 * The Lotus Wand's method of causing attacks based on effects occurring to the wand is noted to be similar to the ones used on voodoo dolls.
 * (Infection Magic, Ushi no Koku Mairi, Idol Theory Reversal)
 * Zombie: Originating from Haitan culture and associated with Voodoo, a dead person reanimated as an undead or a person placed into a death-like trance, through magic, to serve as a slave.
 * A Magic God of the true Gremlin is known as Zombie and has a background in Voodoo.

The soul (魂) is an aspect believed to be the spiritual essence of a living being.

Etymology

 * Soul derivation? (EN/JP)
 * Soul (魂)

Principles
The soul is said to be an incorporeal part of a living being, holding their spiritual essence and consciousness. (Spirit relation/overlap) ? (expand)

In many cultures, after a person's death, their soul is believed to persist, leaving the body and passing into an afterlife realm, often dictated by their actions in life (such as with Heaven and Hell), or move through the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn in a new body and start life anew. (Ref) In some stories, there are souls that are barred from the afterlife and left to wander the earth (such as Jack-o'-Lantern). There are often various rites intended to assist the soul in its passage, and figures believed to act as guides. (additional references) There are also some means intended to communicate with the souls of the dead. (More Ref)

There are also various stories of people who sold their own soul to a supernatural entity, such as the devil, in order to achieve a goal or attain power. (More ref)

The Imagine Breaker apparently doesn't work on souls, even if they are of supernatural origin.

Magic
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 various theories, some more prominent than others, but there is little proof as to which is correct.

Though the mechanisms of the soul are not fully understood, there are magical methods to duplicate it and magicians can create physical bodies to act as containers for the soul despite not properly understanding it. The creation of magical life forms is one example of this. There are also spells intended to affect a target's soul, and means of tracing people through magical power based on the link to the soul.

There are a number of fields of magic involving the souls of the dead, their passage and communication with them. One of these is necromancy, which includes rituals to communicate with the dead and to help them pass through the gates of heaven. In some of these rituals, necromancers can place a false soul (偽りの魄) into a corpse, in order to put the "residual memory" to rest and close its "spiritual circuit". These false souls can possess and operate corpses, being able to animate them to a certain extent and act autonomously.

Magic Names are supposedly carved onto a magician's soul.

Science
In the past, there were a number of scientific theories made involving the soul, such as resulting in a loss of mass from a corpse after death, which have been disproven.

In modern times, on the Science Side, the soul is often seen as an occult concept and something of superstition. Despite this, there has been at least one experiment in Academy City which had observing the creation of a soul (魂の生成) as a secret secondary objective. The subject of the experiment, Kuriba Ryouko, had her body split in two and the two halves having the other half replaced with machines, forming two cyborgs. After living separately for a year, the two were recombined into one. The split apparently had the effect of creating another soul from Ryouko's, one which came to reside in the mechanical components which were left over after Ryouko's human body was recombined, and assembled.

According to Ryouko, unlike other souls, thought to be linked to the body and destroyed when it ceases to function, the doppelganger's soul is apparently merely stored inside the mechanical body and if the container was destroyed, it would be freed from its restraints and spread to its surroundings. She also theorized that the abnormal "free soul" (自由な魂) would be able to possess anything or possibly, in the worst case scenario, engulf the city itself.

Following research into where esper abilities originate from through dissection, Hishigata came to the conclusion that it had something to do with the soul.

Background/Chronology

 * Index: Endymion SS, NT14BTL2

Dream Ranker Arc
Kuriba Ryouko participated in an experiment where she was split into two cyborgs for a year before being recombined into one, which had the effect of creating a soul which was left inside the combined cyborg parts. After learning of her doppelganger's existence, Ryouko recognized the potential risks, which were ignored by the scientists. Unable to come up with a solution with her own knowledge, she created and distributed the Indian Poker cards in hopes of finding someone capable of making a breakthrough. The doppelganger eventually realized what she was, escaped the laboratory and sought out her original. At the same time, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki made contact with Ryouko, having learnt of the experiment and followed the Indian Poker trail. Not long afterwards, following a meeting between the two Ryoukos, the doppelganger was damaged during a battle with Scavenger.
