Etymology
The term Majin can be translated in several ways, including 'Magic God' and 'Demon God'. As described in the narrative, and by characters such as Silvia, in this case 'Majin' doesn't refer to a god of the demon world but to one who has mastered magic to the extent of transcending normal magic and stepping into the realm of god, a Magic God.

Trivia

Impact
Due to the immense power held by Magic Gods, they comprise the majority of the Magic Side's power despite being a numerical minority compared to the rest of the world's magicians. As a result, their dreams and desires, both conscious and unconscious, have a much larger effect in the creation of powers born from the dreams and wishes of the world's magicians, such as Imagine Breaker and World Rejecter.

(Distortions from any actions)

Slight concern over this problem was the reason why Gremlin wished to obtain a scorer in order to help regulate the distortions and give them peace of mind.

Weaknesses
Weaknesses: Fairy spell, Imagine Breaker/World Rejecter crystals, Others, Too powerful
 * Though extremely powerful, Magic Gods are not absolute - there are ways to defeat them other than through another Magic God.
 * The Fairy spell spell devised by Ollerus for use against Othinus, based on Christianity's tendency to reduce pagan gods into fairies and demons, is capable of threatening a Magic God's life, is capable of reducing Magic Gods in a similar way, severely damaging them in the process. After being impaled with the stake Ollerus lost his Magic God powers and was left weaker than a normal magician, and in the case of Othinus, although she was at first able to use it to unify her possibilities in a negative direction, after the loss of Gungnir, the internal destruction proceeded to threaten her life.
 * Aleister Crowley possesses techniques that allow him to channel his willpower, one full of hate for the Magic Gods, into a strange form which is capable of killing them. Using the Anti-Art Attachment, Kihara Noukan was also capable of delivering Aleister's willpower. After obtaining their base parameters and defeating Zombie, he was able to weaken them by switching out Zombie's spell they were using to enter the world safely and implanting one of his own to significantly weaken them.
 * Due to their nature, Magic Gods are extremely vulnerable to World Rejecter.

Basic
A Majin (魔神) or Magic God is a Magic side term used to refer to a being who has mastered magic, can bend all things in the world without exception through magic, something that transcends normal magic and steps into the realm of God, a Magic God.

Encompassing every possibility, a Majin is capable of distorting the world to their whim. However due to encompassing every possibility, both positive and negative, Majins initially have an equal chance of success and failure with their magic. Impure or failed Majins who've stopped their growth before this point lack this problem but don't have the power that a pure Majin would have. Once these possibilities are united in one direction however, a Majin can freely change the world and everything in it as they please with their power.

Being in a position with the title of god, those possessing the qualities of a Majin, such as Othinus and Ollerus, are unaffected by certain spells which would affect humans, such as the Einherjar spell, while certain other spells, such as the "Turn into a fairy" spell, are specifically designed to target them. In the case of Othinus, a pure and perfect Majin, they have also been shown to possess lifespans far beyond that of humans.

Due to the rise, spread, change and decline of various religions around the world, various gods from one religion or traits associated with them are often assimilated into other religions. In some cases, such as with the spread of Christianity, pagan gods of old may be reclassified and reduced to the role of fairies or demons.

Gods are the subject of worship by religion, and receive prayer, offerings and dedications from the followers of those religions. In most religions and mythologies, humankind cannot defeat gods, but instead they may attempt to negotiate with them through offerings, prayers and the like to overcome difficult situations and slightly alter their path to something closer to what is most convenient for them.

Progressing down to the path of Magic to the extent of becoming a perfect Majin, or Magic God, appears to allow one to acquire a certain form of immortality. Othinus is believed to have lived for thousands of years and while in a perfect state, was able to withstand and recover from most injuries. Even weakened by Aleister's spell, the High Priest displayed similar invulnerability during his rampage through Academy City.

Though immortals cannot normally be killed through ordinary means, there are some special means which are specifically meant to kill immortals.

The spell that Aleister Crowley inserted into the High Priest, Nephthys and Niang-Niang is implied to be capable of bringing them to their deaths, and Kihara Noukan, using the Anti-Art Attachment connected to Aleister and delivering his willpower, was later able to kill the High Priest.

Lifespan extending over thousands of years, able to withstand and recover from most injuries in perfected state.

Impact
According to Silvia, the power of a Majin is even more troublesome than a great number of grimoires. With such an interesting prospect, many magic organizations, seek and fear the Majin.

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" (採点者) - someone who would give them a singular set of values and definite directional focus. The scorer would negotiate with them and give 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 them piece of mind, they would grant their scorer's wishes and prayers, allowing the scorer 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 and category separate from the Six Paths.

The individual whom Gremlin intended to be their scorer was Kamijou Touma, bearer of the Imagine Breaker.

50/50
Being a Majin is akin to being the purest, most perfect existence that encompasses every possibility. However, because of this, the Majin can also control both positive and negative possibilities. In essence, the Majin has an equal chance of attaining the possibility of succeeding as well as failing, making everything relating to the Majin's magic a 50/50 shot. This comes from the principle of the, which asks "if an omnipotent being can do anything, can it deny itself?"; i.e: could an omnipotent being create a rock it can't lift?

LV6 Comparison
Moreover, this state in which a Majin steps into a realm of God, is compared to the Science Side's Level 6 by Kamijou Touma, a comparison that is not wholly farfetched as Level 6 requires a person to attain a body that can allow the person to understand the will of the heavens.

Failed Majin
There is also the possibility of being an impure Majin, meaning that the magician seeking to become a Majin stops his growth right when he should have become one. Because of that, the impure Majin's overall powers are weaker, but there is no 50/50 restriction like a pure Majin.

In Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, pure Magic Gods appear for the first time, starting with Othinus, the leader of GREMLIN, and eventually leading to the reveal of the true Gremlin, an organization made up of Magic Gods.

Methods and Research
Progressing down to the path of Magic to the extent of becoming a perfect Majin, or Magic God, appears to allow one to acquire a certain form of immortality. Othinus is believed to have lived for thousands of years and while in a perfect state, was able to withstand and recover from most injuries.

Methods of killing immortals
Though immortals cannot normally be killed through ordinary means, there are some special means which are specifically meant to kill immortals.

According to Othinus, in order to become a Majin, a magician has to master a path of magic until they reach the very end, so there can be multiple Majins who each have mastered a different path like Norse Mythology, Buddhism, Greek Mythology, etc. Additionally, to become a Majin a magician needs to perform a special ritual. The details of the ritual are unclear and appear to vary from Majin to Majin, but they apparently require the magician to kill themselves or die in some way, as Othinus had to hang herself as part of her ritual, the High Priest became a Majin through self-mummification and the people that made Nephthys died to create her. Additionally, Leivinia Birdway mentioned that as Majin, Othinus and Nephthys had to have been willing to kill themselves for their ceremony.

Majins

 * Othinus is the one who later attained the legendary title of Majin from Ollerus, which Ollerus proclaims to have been stolen from him, making her one of the most powerful beings in the Toaru Majutsu no Index storyline. It is later revealed she had been a Majin a long time ago before she relinquished her powers. After finally unifying her infinite possibilities, she uses her powers to call upon Gungnir and destroy the world. . After the events of Volume 10 of New Testament, Othinus has lost practically the totality of her powers and now is about 15cm tall..
 * All members of Gremlin:
 * High Priest, a Japanese Buddhist mummy who became a Majin after his to become a  in a single generation was sabotaged.
 * Nephthys, an Egyptian mummy born of thousands of servants buried together with the pharaoh pooling together all the pieces of knowledge they possessed and they could find in the pyramid.
 * Niang-Niang, a Chinese.
 * Zombie
 * Chimera
 * Nuada, a man with a silver prosthetic arm.
 * Proserpina
 * Tezcatlipoca
 * Other unnamed members.

Candidates

 * Index is the first character mentioned of being capable of being a Majin, with her having the 103,000 grimoires and is apparently immune to their poisonous nature. However, out of fear of having Index rebel and becoming a Majin, the Church has made provisions to disable her from using any spell by cutting off her mana. However, Index can still display some of the potential of a Majin's power when her John's Pen mode is activated, here, she shows tremendous power and can apparently use any spell from the grimoires, although her full potential have yet to be seen due to John's Pen Mode's restrictive thought process, and appears only in certain conditions, such as when John's Pen Mode's remote control is used.


 * Ollerus is the person that was supposed to have been closest in becoming a Majin that comes only once in 10,000 years but had let it slip through his fingers, when trying to save a kitten. Ollerus wields incredible power enough for him to be wanted by the entire magic side, and crushed all of his pursuers easily. Ollerus is an example of an impure Majin, yet he can still wield that power. Unlike Othinus, who is a perfect and pure Magic God, Ollerus is an impure Majin.

Discarded candidates
-->
 * Sigyn is hinted to theoretically have the potential to reach the realm of being a Majin. If she was able to use her suggestion ability on herself, as her suggestions can make anyone succeed at 100% accuracy, she would be perfect. However, she cannot do it, since her nature is to give what she has to others to make up for what they lack. If she tried to be perfect herself, she wouldn't be able to make up for what she lacks.

Demons are a type of entity present in various religions, mythologies and folklore across the world. Their exact nature varies depending on the context, but they are usually described as spiritual entities possessing supernatural power and influence.

There are plenty of stories and beliefs which involve demons. Among these are various tales involving magicians contracting demons and commanding them to do their bidding, and people who make a deal with demons or devils in order to obtain something from them, often in return for their soul. There are also various stories which involve demons individuals, much like ghosts. Other stories describe means to protect oneself against demons or how to them.

Religion, Mythology and Magic
Many religions and mythologies around the world have their own collections of demons, together with associated tales, attributes, rules, hierarchies, superstitions and other aspects. Some have demons as agents of the gods while others have them as enemies, though they are often below them.

With the rise, spread, change and decline of various religions around the world, various gods and demons from one religion, or traits associated with them, are often assimilated into other religions. In some cases, pagan gods of old may be reclassified and reduced to the role of fairies or demons.

As there are many tales and beliefs which involve demons, there are also many forms of magic which use them as a basis.

Christianity
Within Christianity, the term demon is often used to refer to a fallen angel (堕天使), a concept that is typically synonymous with a wicked or rebellious angel. Demons are also associated with and most often confined to the realm known as Hell. The term devil is also used to refer to demons as conceived by Christianity.

Angels are meant to be God's perfect tools and messengers to humanity, and have no free will of their own, being described as something like remote-controlled cars of God. However they might not be able to receive commands due to failure, receive wrong commands, or malfunction, and subsequently stray from God's will, at which point they become fallen angels and have the term demon (悪霊) associated with them.

The most famous example is Lucifer the Light-Bringer, also commonly referred to as The Devil and Satan, a mighty angel who was said to be the closest being to God and once sat at the Right Side of God, but malfunctioned and rebelled, turning a third of the angels and causing a war in Heaven, before being cast down to Hell by Archangel Michael. Another example is that of the Grigori, a group of fallen angels who gave knowledge to humans on how God created Man from clay before the time of Noah. The information wasn't conveyed correctly as the humans couldn't understand the angelic language and could only create puppets of mud, golems.

Similar to angels, these demons are energy masses present in different Phases.

Though the practice of religions assimilating or reducing the deities and entities of other religions is not exclusive to Christianity, it has the most notable track record among the world's religions, being the one which brought the term demon to its current and commonly associated form. With the rise and spread of Christianity, pagan gods of old were reclassified and reduced to the role of fairies or demons. This has given rise to the term to describe the process.

Christianity has various tales which involve demons and many form the basis for magic. A notable example is a widespread anti-flight spell, derived from the tale of St. Peter who when confronting the flying magician, said "Oh, demons carrying this magic user, promptly let go!!", causing Simon to lose the ability to fly and fall to his death. The Russian Orthodox Church's Annihilatus targets demons, among other supernatural entities and phenomena, for elimination.

Other
There are various methods for magicians to summon demons and bind them to a contract, compelling them to follow command(s) giving to them, even after the death of their contractor. After a summoning or contract has been completed, a summoned demon won't necessarily disappear on its own, only leaving once the spell user or another exorcises them.

Parchment is described as being a means used to converse with demons, during a partial explanation of William Wynn Westcott's quasi-immortality, maintained by using the attraction of a great being to distortion the circulation of his life force.

A number of grimoires contain information with regards to demons and their summoning. One of the most notable is the, the first part of the Lesser Key of Solomon or Lemegeton, which contains information and instructions pertaining to the 78 demons summoned by King Solomon. Magic and entities connected to are often collectively referred to by the term.

In Kabbalah, the opposite tree to the Sephiroth, the Qliphoth, has a demon's name engraved in each of its spheres or qliphah.

One notable demon not bound within the Qliphoth is Coronzon, the demon who appeared to Aleister Crowley in Egypt. As well as possessing the ability to possess objects and people, Coronzon displayed the ability to animate it's host's hair and manifest a giant, sinister demonic face from it, following the old witch tradition that the devil resides in women's hair.

Background
Around the time of the downfall of the Golden Dawn, the demon Coronzon was summoned by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and given one command; to pretend to have been summoned by Aleister Crowley and then guide him to ruin. Coronzon subsequently appeared during Aleister's attempt to cross between sephira in Egypt. After failing to hijack Aleister's body, Coronzon subsequently hid within a mountain of papyrus and travelled from northern Africa to England. Bound to follow the contract even after Mathers was killed, Coronzon plotted Aleister's ruin and manipulated events while secretly possessing the body of Aleister's second daughter Lola and acting as the Archbishop of Necessarius.

Aleister Crowley Arc
Following his defeat against Kamijou Touma, Coronzon revealed itself to Aleister and attacked him to fulfill it's contract with Mathers. After seemingly finishing him off and taking his body as a new vessel, Coronzon believed itself to have cut its ties to Mathers and was free to act as it wished, but soon learned that Aleister had diffused into over a billion of his potential selves which he had previously gathered within his body.

Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator
When Estelle Rosenthal activated the Taowu in an attempt to resurrect her recently-deceased friend Hishigata Hirumi, the Taowu and the soul of Isaac Rosenthal within it was contacted by a self-proclaimed demon, who informed them of a way to shift their soul to Keter using memories of death and achieve the Rosenthal Family's desire.

Etymology
Coronzon is a demon originating in writing by the 16th-century occultists and, featured within the latter's system of Enochian magic.

It came to be an important element within 's system of Thelema in the 20th century, as the "dweller in the abyss", one of the final obstacles on an adept's journey who acts to destroy the ego. In Thelemic works, its name is spelt.

With Coronzon's assumed name, Lola is the first name of Coronzon's host,, Aleister's second daughter. Stuart comes from the, a dynasty which Mathers wished to restore.

Appearance
Coronzon's full, true appearance, if it has one, isn't known, though it is capable of manifesting a giant, sinister demonic face from the hair of its hosts.

Its current host body, that of Lola Zala Crowley, is a girl whose appearance is that of an eighteen year old (though she is actually much older), with blue eyes and incredibly long blonde hair. Her hair is about 2.5 times her height, usually folded over and bound behind her head with a gold clasp, but still reaching her hips. She usually wears beige vestments.

Personality
Though Lola Stuart is known as someone who kept her good and bad deeds balanced as if to keep the scales level, Coronzon only restricts herself in that manner to provide an explanation and calm the waves when she takes actions which seemed out of character, until she fulfills the contract with Mathers.

Beneath the façade it presents to the world, Coronzon is a cruel and manipulative entity who guided events across a century in order to complete its contract, free itself from its bounds, and seize everything it wants for itself.

As well as acting to fulfill its objective, Coronzon also acts to amuse itself, granting others' wishes for fun in the past while working to carry out it's contract. On apparently seizing control of Academy City, Coronzon saw it as an interesting toy which was worth waiting for.

While seeking to bring Aleister to ruin as per its contract, Coronzon also took sadistic pleasure in doing so, mocking him from afar when his plans were disrupted by the appearance of the World Rejecter, and on revealing the truth, feeling joy in trampling over the father's dignity with his own daughter's body and taunting him with the last cry for help from his daughter gave as her body was taken. After revealing this and then apparently finishing Aleister off, Coronzon laughed and savored the delight of the deed enough to forget it's objective for a while.

Coronzon has considerable disdain for its summoner, Mathers, though it acknowledges his skill and took on its assumed surname as a special service to him.

Coronzon uses different speech patterns while acting as Lola Stuart and its true self.

<!--

As leader of the Church
As the head of Necessarius and the Archbishop of the Church of England, it is only fitting for a person of Laura Stuart's character to hold such positions in order for the to survive the tumultuous world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, which is separated by both science side and magic sides, the latter being a disjointed collection of religions, sects, factions, and cabals. Behind her beautiful facade lies a cold and calculating personality, with Stiyl Magnus mentioning she does things on both ends of the scale that it balances out to the point where it's impossible to tell whether she's good or evil. She is described by him as "no one is better than her in manipulating human feelings, rationality, interests, ethics, and necessary values" and '"the hidden dragon among magicians, she’s somehow able to get to the top, and it’s not done cheaply." She does as many good things as she does evil things. On the balance of good and evil, she’s keeping an intricate balance.

She can be very exceptionally cruel when it comes to her plans. An example with this is Laura being the one who had the Collar put on Index, and lied to people that Index must get her memory erased every year, as an attempt to maintain control of the grimoire library Index holds, as well as a much more terrible restraint she envisioned for her as an alternative, with her having Index's limbs cut off and lock her inside the Tower of London, to ensure her absolute safety of Index Librorum Prohibitorum's knowledge from magicians that would misuse it, and to prevent her escape. However, she can also be quite subtle and pragmatic with them befitting her devious nature, as exemplified by her agreeing to a treaty that allows Index to live in Academy City to build a proper relationship between the Church and the City, allowing the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church as part of the Church of England in order to have a rein over Kanzaki Kaori under the guise of protecting them, allowing Orsola Aquinas to join with the Church most likely to bind Kamijou Touma to the Church with his connections, and continual aiding Academy City from Lidvia Lorenzetti after determining that the effects of Croce di Pietro would not benefit her. Moreover, if a person has any use to her, she apparently loosens punishments on them, as exemplified with Sherry Cromwell, whom the Archbishop made tense negotiations with the City for and was given a "generous disposition" after her attack on the City. Another example of Laura's viciousness is when Index is under the control of Fiamma, she plans to forcibly use the remaining controller to prevent Fiamma having access to the girmoire collection Index have, even if it would put even more intense burdens onto Index. Stiyl rejects this move and delibrately stays with Index to prevent Laura doing anything, and plans to kill Laura if it means saving Index. Laura then activated her controller blocking Fiamma's signal, forcing Index into John's Pen mode and tries to fight back. Laura then coerced Stiyl into fighting Index, saying she is giving him a chance to do something to solve the problem at hand, and she'll step in with the controller regardless if he fails. All that was done with a seemingly sincere smile on Laura's face showing no outward malice. All this she does for the benefit of the Church of England.

Laura prefers to work behind the scenes if possible, and let others like Kaori or Stiyl deal with meeting with other factions face-to-face.

Other traits
In spite of her villainous qualities there is a lighter side, making her more of a two-faced beauty. When in the mood, she has a casual and joking nature towards equals like Aleister Crowley and Elizard, and even her subordinates such as Stiyl Magnus and Kanzaki Kaori, to the point that they can spout violence against her without repercussions. She is quite a tease as shown with her in Lambeth Palace with Stiyl in the bath, as well as apparently willing to wear a Santa costume with a mini-skirt for charity, much to Kaori's chagrin. This openness with her constituents where identities and statuses are not taken into consideration is a point of envy for Pope Matthai Reese, who commands dignity and respect that it prevents him from truly associating with his people. She is described as someone, who, no matter who the other party was, she would quarrel, reveal her ugly side, go crazy, and sometimes even cry. But in the end, she would always be laughing. This makes her naturally charismatic, a trait noted by Leivinia Birdway to be what Kamijou Touma has, along with Aleister Crowley. Stating that he has the seeds to do something indescribably great, which will give him great power if he controls it, or will be disastrous for him if he does not.

Regarding her looks, she takes great care in maintaining her long hair, with an entire set of a variety of gold and silver combs just for this purpose. She is also likely to scorch her in the sun's light to gain "Sun's hair," because she believes that the best looking blond hair was like that in olden times. Moreover, for her attire, though her beige robe is what she normally wears, as she is different from normal nuns, she had to prepare different sets of nuns’ robes according to the season, time, location, occasion, position on the matter, and ambition. Sometimes she would purposely wear clothes that indicated a lower standing in order to raise the status of the guest; sometimes she would purposely wear clothes that indicate a higher standing to show her dissatisfaction. This indicates her political savy even when it comes to clothing.

She loves baths and has a huge collection of the latest designs of baths from Academy City in Lambeth Palace, courtesy of Aleister as a gift to sweeten relations between the two sides, in addition to other technology such as the latest design of washing machines given to the Necessarius female dormitory. Her love of the latest baths does not extend to the latest technology however. Like many other characters from the magic side, she is baffled by modern technology.

She speaks archaic Japanese, courtesy of Tsuchimikado Motoharu teaching her, and is mentioned on a few occasions by Aleister Crowley and Stiyl Magnus as sounding "weird", with Stiyl going further telling her it was a mistake to think of Motoharu, who goes after his own sister, as a "normal" Japanese person and learning Japanese from that source. Furthermore, Stiyl commented that "the way you speak is still weird" when Laura switched from Japanese to English during a "heart to heart" communication spell. Because of this, she has a persecution complex regarding her Japanese and was worried that this fact has spread out in London after Charles Conder pointed out her strange Japanese as well. -->

Background
Around the time of the downfall of the Golden Dawn, the demon Coronzon was summoned by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and given one command; to pretend to have been summoned by Aleister Crowley and then guide him to ruin. Coronzon subsequently appeared during Aleister's attempt to cross between sephira in Egypt. After failing to hijack Aleister's body, Coronzon subsequently hid within a mountain of papyrus and travelled from northern Africa to England. Bound to follow the contract even after Mathers was killed, Coronzon plotted Aleister's ruin and manipulated events while secretly possessing the body of Aleister's second daughter Lola and acting as the Archbishop of Necessarius.

St. Germain Arc
Following the events instigated by St. Germain, she appears for the first time since the end of the War, apparently knowing of the movements of the true Gremlin. She is in St. George's Cathedral, noticing the confrontation of the Magic Gods against Aleister Crowley, and notes that now Aleister is not even attempting to hide who he is. She then begins the next step of her plan against Aleister and the Magic Gods as she wants to fully control both sides' actions, while also thinking about how what a certain other piece on the board might do next would affect the outcome.

Magic God Invasion Arc
After Kamisato Kakeru 'exiles' the remaining Magic Gods with World Rejecter, Coronzon, who knew of World Rejecter's arrival when even Aleister was unaware, mockingly laughs at how the rails formed by his plans and preparations have been bent by the single outside element. As she then asks what he'll do now, she claims the peak of darkness doesn't suit him and that the title of 'cannibal' or 'greatest eccentric of the 20th century' fits much better.

Aleister Crowley Arc
Following his defeat against Kamijou Touma, having snuck into the city disguised as part of the recovery team sent to extract the Tsuchimikados and Karasuma Fran, Coronzon revealed itself to Aleister and attacked him to fulfill it's contract with Mathers. After seemingly finishing him off and taking his body as a new vessel, Coronzon believed itself to have cut its ties to Mathers and was free to act as it wished, but soon learned that Aleister had diffused into over a billion of his potential selves which he had previously gathered within his body.

Abilities
As a demon, Coronzon is capable of being summoned through magic and will remain in the world until exorcised. It is bound to follow the commands of those who have formed a contract with it, even when the contractor has died. It was apparently capable of breaking Aleister Crowley's attempts to bind it, though it isn't certain whether it was due to its own abilities or the fact it was already bound to a contract with Mathers. Coronzon is also described as not being contained within the existing Qliphoth.

Coronzon is capable of possessing both objects, having hid in a mountain of papyrus to travel between Africa and England, and people, such as its current host, Lola Zala Crowley. It is also capable of possessing multiple vessels at once, as shown when Coronzon took one of Aleister's fallen bodies as an additional avatar. Given the youthful appearance of Coronzon's current host despite her age, it can be assumed that the demon is either capable of halting its host's aging or altering their appearance.

Coronzon is capable of manipulating the hair of its hosts and manifest a giant, sinister demonic face from it. This ability appears to be follow an old witch tradition concerning the devil residing in women's hair. Coronzon has been shown using hair to fatally crush part of one's body, to burrow inside a target body and take control of it, and using it as a medium to set off explosions which cause damage to selected targets.

Among the spiritual items she can use is the Sword of Damocles (ダモクレスの剣). Based on the sword which was hung over as he was allowed to sit on the throne by his king to illustrate the perils that came with kingship, the legend was apparently recreated as a test of courage for royalty and nobility to prove their worth. When used to impale Aleister's heart after he was knocked out by Kamijou Touma, light exploded from the wound and blew Touma's group nearby out of the hole in the Windowless Building.

Comments from the Knight Leader during the Battle of Folkestone, suggest that in terms of openly displayed capabilities, she is probably stronger than Kanzaki Kaori.

Personality

 * Does he wholeheartedly wish for an entirely perfect plan? (Ep-Noukan)
 * Cursed perfect plan as similar to what Magic Gods do (Ep-Aleister) after plan back on track.
 * Aleister has conflicting desires in his heart, wavering, can’t focus on a single path, World Rejecter target. Set up rails while accepting weaknesses/flaws to reach beneficial conclusion. "Opposing axis" and Noukan opening act - recovery.

Due to the many setbacks in his life, Aleister is quite aware that things often won't work out the way he wants, and as such set up his plan so that everything would converge on a single path not matter what crises befall him.(NT17Ep) Despite setting up his plan to be a perfect one, he doesn't wholeheartedly wish for it and has cursed it at least once, thinking it to be little different from what the Magic Gods did.(NT14Ep)

Aleister has conflicting desires in his heart, not focusing on a single path, which makes him and his power a valid target for World Rejecter.

Background

 * Section division?: Childhood, Golden Age, Pre-1947 (happiness then downward spiral), Post-1947

When Aleister was a child, he developed contempt for the god who had created the world, one that was easily fooled and could not punish liars, such as his mean teachers and the god-believing parents who refused to understand him, who despite their true nature appeared nice on the surface and thus held influential positions in the town. As such he decided to find the proper rules and answers that god could not in order to make the world a better place, which started him down the path of magic.

He was a member of the magic cabal known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, where he and his fellow magicians would force Telesma into a pouch and into an image of a person. It was maybe here, that Aleister would learn of Anna Sprengel, who carried the role of a Secret Chief, probably to a mysterious being, and helped in the foundation of the Golden Dawn. During this time, he developed ideas that were extreme even for the golden cabal, such as the Aeons and the Thoth Tarot based on them, such that not all of the cabal members accepted them. He ended up becoming one of the sparks which set off a great internal conflict with the cabal and he apparently dirtied his hands quite a bit during the conflict. He later severed his ties with the cabal for reasons unknown.

On 1917, the grimoire known as Moonchild was written by Aleister, and is still being used in the current year of the Story Timeline. According to Laura Stuart, from 1920 to 1923 Aleister was carrying out his activities on the island of Sicily in Italy, where it is rumored that the Book of the Law first appeared, which according to Aleister himself, ended the Aeon of Osiris that ended Christian magic, and wrought upon the world the Aeon of Horus. He is apparently a magnet for controversy, bringing in the ire of magicians and admiration of others and artists. In some rumors regarding his life, sometime in his life, he made trips, and during these trips, in order to carry out a magical experiment, he used his wife who accompanied him around the world as a medium to contact the Holy Guardian Angel, Aiwass. When his daughter Lilith died, he apparently remained unmoved, continuing on with his research on magic theories. Moreover, in order to carry out the experiment, he even used a group of girls as old as his daughter as sacrifices. However, because of this, he managed to define a different world, a different but overlapping one, similar to Heaven and Hell, and open new grounds in magic rituals. As such, his contributions cannot be denied, indeed with his completion of the Book of the Law, he can be referred as the master of the modern of Western magic, and that even unto this day, the magic system that he and his followers had created still cause headaches for organizations targeting him.

At some point, Aleister ran into a dead end in his research and like many European magicians, took a trip across the Mediterranean to Africa. While in Egypt, he incorporated the names of Isis, Osiris and Horus into his concept of Aeons, eliciting a laugh from the Magic God Nephthys. He also experimented in summoning a demon which no one had ever heard of.

At another point during this time, as a king of man, Aleister Crowley had the opportunity to become a Magic God and a member of the true Gremlin, however he rejected becoming a Magic God and chose to remain as a human, remaining in the same realm as his family without giving up on anything. The Magic Gods, including the High Priest, were involved in the death of Aleister's daughter. On the day his daughter died, Aleister left a tear stain in his journal.

At the height of his greatness, Aleister Crowley announced that he would give up magic and start all over again and analyze science and technology. It was the greatest insult to the magic side, for the strongest magician in the world to give up magic and go to the science side. Due to his position as the unofficial representative of the Magic Side, Aleister's defection to the Science Side is taken as a sign Science is superior to Magic, resulting in widespread hatred for him. Thus Aleister Crowley became the enemy of all magicians in the world. The people who were trying to kill him weren't just from Necessarius but also people who are even the least related to magic. Some time later, the hunters finally caught up to him and had apparently seriously injured him in some remote country side in Great Britain. There he met his savior, Heaven Canceller. He was later declared dead on December 1st, 1947, and there were people who felt that the world was relieved when he died. According to Stiyl Magnus, his body is sleeping in a grave in the remote countryside of Great Britain.

However, rumors persist that Aleister was still alive, and these are not far off. Heaven Canceller sheltered Aleister from Great Britain, presenting him with the life-support system that would allow him to live a lifespan estimated to be 1700 years, introducing him to Japan, and helping him with constructing with Academy City. Despite still somehow calling himself Aleister, as well as allowing magicians such as Stiyl Magnus to meet him no one has apparently figured out that he is the one and the same Aleister Crowley. This is because that the information regarding him as Aleister might be false information that he might have leaked deliberately. Since the original information is wrong, no matter whether one uses magical or scientific means to track down Aleister, they can’t possibly find any connections to the real Aleister Crowley. In other words, to the Anglican Church, Aleister just so happened to be a common name, or maybe even a false name. Moreover, the truth is still kept hidden regarding him and his Windowless Building, according to Musujime Awaki, the guide to the Windowless Building, all that is known of him are merely composed of information that has been presented by him.

For the next 50 and odd years, Aleister Crowley as the ruler of Academy City, would try to make his plans come to fruition. According to Othinus, Aleister has been trying to tamper with the "pure world" beyond all the filters unlike her only adding new filters when she remakes the world.

World Rejecter Arc
Aleister overhauled the Anti-Art Attachment for Noukan's battle with Kamisato Kakeru, but implied that Noukan wouldn't be able to win with it during his conversation with him, apologizing as he did so. Knowing it could be the last time they speak, Noukan asked Aleister not to abandon his humanity (despite...).

Following the battle between Kihara Noukan and Kamisato Kakeru, after which Kihara Yuiitsu placed the dying Noukan into cryogenic suspension, Aleister's plan was back on track but Aleister himself cursed his plan for the first time, realizing it was little different from what the Magic Gods he hated did.

Aleister Crowley Arc
When the Tsuchimikados and Fran attempted to escape the city with the help of Touma, Aleister remotely struck Maika with a curse magic sword at the city wall. The shadow sword was designed to fatally scatter if broken carelessly, meaning Imagine Breaker was not an option. It also summoned chain beasts bearing Karma in its vicinity to attack, forcing the group to change plans and break into the Windowless Building to find a way to negate it.

Not long after Touma's group entered the Windowless Building and began their ascent, Aleister approached them, disguised by the chain beasts bending light, and attacked them with Spiritual Tripping, causing the group to be scattered.

After the recreation of Mina Mathers by the Reading Thoth 78 had finished showing Aleister's past to Touma in a series of visions, Aleister made remote contact with him and informed him of how he had modeled Academy City specifically to draw in him, the bearer of the Imagine Breaker, an altar of tragedy in which _. Regardless, Touma resolved to face him.

(TSP in progress)
 * Battle with Kamijou Touma.
 * Coronzon and diffusion.
 * Coronzon.
 * Branching out.

After Aleister was knocked out, he was impaled by the Sword of Damocles.

At the same time, one of Aleister's alternative selves, a young girl, saved Touma, who had been blown out through the hole in the Windowless Building due to the Sword of Damocles, using a flying broom. After warning him not to wave his hand around and risk destroying the broom, this Aleister briefly described the present situation before reintroducing herself.

Abilities
Aleister is referred to as the greatest magician in history, though little was initially shown to back up this claim, with him always being shown to having others or technology to do important tasks. He is said to have been known for his ability to spiritually knock people to the ground, through the use of imitative magic without preparation. However, it has been hinted that Aleister is immune to Teleport attacks through either the use of magic or technology. Furthermore, through the use of technology, Aleister has the apparent ability to sever solid objects, through how much an extent is unknown, though it can be assumed that he can easily sever a man's head if he wanted to.

Aleister has been shown to be able to detect and even visit a layer of the world that not even Othinus could detect and touch with her Magic God powers. When talking to the other Magic Gods, or bizarre magicians as he refers to them, he says that he "let" the world's strength handle Othinus, implying that he can handle Othinus on his own. His magic is such that he has enough confidence to attack the magic gods of that realm, and with the Magic God's parameters at hand, he was capable of swapping out the spell they used to enter the world with one which weakened them without them realizing until it had been embedded. His willpower, channeled through Kihara Noukan's Anti-Art Attachment, has been shown to take a strange form which is capable of killing a Magic God.

Aleister's statements indicate that he has possessed a method of separating one's memories from their personality at least since his time with the Golden Dawn. He also possesses ways of calling in the unheard of, using combinations of existing methods, having experimented in summoning a great demon never before seen and not mentioned in any holy text during his time in Egypt, and said to learn this method to break through the common view of the world with something which could be found anywhere.

Thelema
One of Aleister Crowley's key accomplishments is the creation of the religion, school of thought and magical format, known as Thelema. Heavily influenced by Aleister's desire to find the proper rules and answers that the god who created the world could not, as well as his journey to Egypt and his contact with the entity Aiwass,  it is derived from Aleister's research and the secrets he learned from Aiwass, recorded in Thelema's central tennet, the Book of the Law. (Ref) Having devised and conveyed the system, Aleister is a master of its applications and it forms a key part of his plan.

A key concept in Thelema is the Aeons; Aeons (時代(アイオーン)), divisions of human history named after Egyptian deities, and each characterized by certain forms of belief and expression. The three primary Aeons are the Aeon of Isis (イシスの 時代(アイオーン)), the time of primitive religions before Christianity's establishment, the Aeon of Osiris (オシリスの 時代</rb>(</rp>アイオーン</rt>)</rp>), a period of stagnation during which humanity worshiped a single god during the spread of Christianity, and the Aeon of Horus (ホルスの 時代</rb>(</rp>アイオーン</rt>)</rp>), where it is believed humanity will enter a time of self-realization and self-actualization, achieving a true awakening after the downfall of Christianity. The Aeons influence other aspects of Thelema, such as the Thoth Tarot, whose Major Arcana, unlike the Golden-style Tarot which tell the story of the Son of God to draw on part of his power and enter the realm of god with a human body, start at the birth of Christianity and follow it through to its destruction at Armageddon and to the new Aeon arriving afterwards, aimed at destroying the 'closed ceiling' of god's territory and bringing humanity to the next stage above it. Aleister and his plan, as well as Aiwass, are stated to be within the Aeon of Horus.

A number of Aleister's displayed capabilities might fall under the field of Thelema, however for most of them this hasn't been verified at present. Methods used by Aleister which are known to belong to Thelema include:
 * The methods that he had implemented for the Power Curriculum Program, the use of drugs in adolescents to induce paranormal phenomena, were revealed to be derived from the Temple of Thelema.
 * The core of the Anti-Art Attachment, an energy transfer device which allows the wielder to access Aleister's power and techniques, which was devised by Aleister, incorporates a number of Thelemic elements, including a curse reversal triangle with ''.
 * Aleister's plan

State of Existence
Likely through years of research and discipline, Aleister has achieved a higher form of existence, allowing him to, and is referred to as being in a different dimension.

In this state, Aleister's body can be injured, however he cannot be killed as simply as a normal person. After Tsuchimikado Motoharu shot him multiple times, he bled and collapsed like a normal person, but Karasuma Fran sensed a kind of invisible miasma escaping the supposedly lifeless and unmoving corpse with murderous intent and could tell with certainty that he could reboot himself at any time.

Aleister had the potential and opportunity to become a Magic God, however he rejected becoming one and choose to remain "human" instead, taking measures to make sure that he would not become a Magic God.

It is later revealed that Aleister has brought forth many possible versions of himself and sealed them all within his body. During the times Aleister had emerged, such as the time with Fiamma, a momentarily branched-off alternative version of himself appeared and disappeared in an instant, in a manner which Aleister compared to the concept of. Following his defeat against Kamijou Touma and the subsequent attack by Coronzon, the many possible versions of Aleister were released into the world. Aleister said that this was bound to happen from the moment he left his life support device to deal with the problems resulting from the actions of Kihara Yuiitsu and Karasuma Fran, and even if Kamijou Touma and Coronzon had not appeared, he would have branched out almost endlessly, creating every version of himself born from the various 'ifs'.

According to Tree Diagram and Reading Thoth 78, the number of options available to Aleister and the number of branches they would lead to are 1,083,092,867. Though Aleister mentioned that once he brought multiple versions of himself into the world it became apparent they would only clash and not be expected to work together if not contained, after being released from being sealed within his single body, the possible versions of himself have displayed a high degree of coordination, speaking and acting together. Many of the alternative versions embody the impressions left from Aleister's appearance; man, woman, adult, child, saint, sinner, etc, isolated and brought to life.

Magic Items

 * Blasting Rod (衝撃の杖</rb> (</rp>ブラスティングロッド</rt>) </rp>)

Grimoires
Aleister is known to have written a number of Grimoires:
 * Book of the Law:
 * Moonchild: Stated by Stiyl Magnus to have an angel binding technique, which can be used to establish the summoning of a spirit, capture it, and seal it. It is supposedly used to help with the memory erasure of Index.

=Imagine Breaker (Unprocessed)= (Edit) The Imagine Breaker (幻想殺し</rb> (</rp>イマジンブレイカー</rt>) </rp>) is the mysterious power that currently resides exclusively within Kamijou Touma's right hand, allowing him to negate anything supernatural such as esper powers, magic powers, and even to his own speculation, God's miracles. More specifically, it is the power that can only exist in the right hand of Kamijou Touma due to "Imagine Breaker" finding meaning in being inside Touma's right hand.

Neither magic nor esper ability, nor Gemstone-derived, the Imagine Breaker has long been under intense speculation both in-universe and in the fandom, with only a few people in-universe such as Aleister Crowley knowing fully of what it entails.

Etymology
Seemingly a reference to Touma's Imagine Breaker, Touma incorporates the meaning of the kanji used for his ability (幻想殺し), which means Illusion killer, into his famous catchphrase which can be translated into English as: "I will destroy that illusion of yours."

Interestingly in the novels, the kanji for the Imagine Breaker is sometimes changed to Ore no Migite (俺の右手).

History
Not much is known about the mysterious Imagine Breaker, but it has been confirmed that someone else, perhaps many others, have had the Imagine Breaker before Kamijou Touma. This power is terribly documented by the magic side. However, according to Ollerus, in ancient times, powers similar to the Imagine Breaker, showed themselves, taking different forms: weapons in the hands of great heroes, frescos with rumored to be able to heal the diseases, and others took the form of caves and functioned as trials for those who entered them. Although, he is unsure if they are related to the Imagine Breaker, or if those hopes combined together into another form as they were lost and have naturally appeared here.

Seemingly, only a few people know something about the Imagine Breaker. Terra of the Left for example, deduced Touma having amnesia since he is apparently not using the Imagine Breaker to its full capacity, and hints that Imagine Breaker might actually be an ability that extends itself further away from its bearer's right hand, based on Terra's personal knowledge of Fiamma of the Right's Holy Right ability. Even then, his conjecture may have been lacking as well, as even Fiamma of the Right was unaware of the terrible power that lurks within Touma's right hand after severing it.

It has been revealed that the Imagine Breaker can choose which person can wield it. After being severed from Touma several times in the past, it still remained in his possession. According to Fiamma of the Right, the current generation is still attached to Touma, referring to it as "the right hand is only the right hand when it is growing from his right shoulder," referencing his failure in obtaining Imagine Breaker from Touma in the past.

It is unknown who previously wielded the Imagine Breaker. According to Othinus, Imagine Breaker can also exist in objects, as she noted it takes different forms each time the last one is destroyed. She pointed out that if she were to destroy everything in existence, Imagine Breaker could potentially even find its way to her.

Primary features
Shown throughout the series, Touma's Imagine Breaker, negates both esper powers and magic. Moreover, through several circumstances, even divine powers, such as, in his own admission, the miracles of god, and more prominently his defeating of Archangel Gabriel in World War III.

Supplementary features
In two different instances, Touma demonstrated that he can dispel to an extent the effects of an area-wide attack. One instance is blocking the effects of electricity Misaka Mikoto created, by putting his right hand out to act as a lightning rod for the electricity to be directed to his right hand and Imagine Breaker as opposed to another part of his body without the Imagine Breaker's protection. The other one is blocking a portion of Kaitabi Hatsuya's Graviton from hitting the people behind him using Imagine Breaker as a shield. Nonetheless, it is required for him to have physical contact to initiate the effects of his power.

It seems that Imagine Breaker has a permanent cancelling effect on some supernatural objects, as seen when it robbed Index's clothes of their Walking Church. Imagine Breaker can even ignore the overall actual weight or force behind of which an inanimate object has supernatural power concentrated on, as seen when Touma blocked a full-powered punch from a massive golem without showing signs of obvious effort, before the golem collapsed on itself due to the magic that manifested it being abolished by Imagine Breaker's power. He did, however; "almost break his hand" in said exchange. Another example is when Touma blocks Acqua of the Back's magic enhanced attack while in a weakened state, where before Touma would have been easily overpowered by Acqua's attack if it was just a normal attack with pure brute force and not magic.

Removal from the body
It has become apparent, that in the event that the right hand is severed from the body, as in with Touma's case in several occasions, an invisible and ineffable power appears to take in Imagine Breaker's stead. This power's true form is currently unknown, though it is enough to bring fear upon Fiamma of the Right upon witnessing it, it was not for the Imagine Breaker ability, but for it to act as a medium for his Holy Right to gain a corporeal form. Though was weak enough to be utterly crushed by Othinus.

Touma can however, communicate with the power, and could somehow force it to yield to his will. In Touma's first "talk" with the invisible thing, an even greater power swallowed what had appeared and suppress it. There is currenly no information in what this great power is, or if it is simply Touma's will power that took control.

Finally, after the right hand or right arm is torn or severed from Touma's body, it can reconnect miraculously back to the body as if was not separated and all, this includes bones, vessels, and nerves. During Touma's first separation from his right arm, Heaven Canceller references this and calls his right arm a piece of fantasy. However, it has been shown that in the event that the removed right arm cannot be reconnected to Touma, a new arm takes the place where the old arm was in Touma's body, and from there, the Imagine Breaker disappears from the removed arm and transfers to the new arm. It is unknown what conditions are required to fulfill this, but it can be presumed to be Imagine Breaker's relationship with Touma.

Weaknesses and Limitations
Despite of the extents of Touma's abilities, Touma might not have the ability to negate all "artificial" supernatural abilities, such as the Power of the World and leylines. Some objects such as the Queen's Fleet and Innocentius require Touma to target the core or some other important piece that provides power to them in order for his Imagine Breaker to effectively negate them.

Also, since the Imagine Breaker is concentrated to only Touma's right hand, Touma is truly helpless against a wave of magic attacks in great numbers, as what happened with Misawa Cram School and the Gregorian Chant Replica performed on him. Furthermore, since the effects of Touma's Imagine Breaker is always singular, as in it can only negate, magicians such as Oriana Thomson can make use of this to make a trap against Touma after negating a spell.

So far there are only a few attacks which can "surpass" Imagine Breaker's power canceling speed, as such he is unable to completely destroy them despite continued exposure to the Imagine Breaker. Index's Dragon Breath, Stiyl's Innocentius, Fiamma of the Right's flaming sword, Accelerator's wings in his awakened state, and Birdway's Summoned Telesma Explosion. The Curtana Original's Dimensional Cleavage Formula is a different case, as it does not fall under the 'surpassing cancelling speed' category, but 'After this window of opportunity it can't be negated' category. It would imply that the phenomenon that Curtana had brought upon have become normalized and is no longer considered a supernatural phenomena. Kanzaki stated Imagine Breaker can negate a dimensional cutter attack if it comes into contact within 1.25 seconds.

While the Imagine Breaker does negate some forms of psychic powers and magic used on his body out right like teleportation and Healing Magic this is not guaranteed. After his first run in with Aureolus, he wipes Touma's memories of what had transpired in the school until touches his right hand to his head negating the spell. Then later when they fought again he was nearly incapacitated by the Suffocate command until stuff one of his fingers deep into his throat to destroy the spell. When Cendrillon finds and drags Touma into a nearby alleyway she discovers that he had been shot and immediately tries to use healing magic on him but the Imagine Breaker simply negates her attempts. Though the spell was not negated until the light of the spell spread from his wound to the rest of his body where it reached his right hand and then negated. In the Daihaiseisai incident Shokuhou Misaki is shown to have knowledge of the Imagine Breaker, but also showed that she is able to bypass it's normal automatic negation of Telepathy.

During his trip to Russia, Touma makes use of the Imagine Breaker's limitations for the first time. Due to Imagine Breaker not fully negating supernatural phenomena, Touma has learned to use it to interfere via "negation and disruption". Normally, Imagine Breaker negates any supernatural power or object upon contact, but because of its limits, if a supernatural power/object is sufficiently powerful or massive enough in size it will not be completely negated right away or it will take a longer time to fully defeat it. It's during this state of cancellation that Touma can actually physically touch and grab the power/object, negating and disrupting it instead of instantly destroying it. This, of course, is usually more of a disadvantage than an advantage of Imagine Breaker. Still, during Touma's fight with Accelerator in Russia, Touma pulled one of Accelerator's black wings to throw Accelerator off balance and dodge the attack when Accelerator struck Touma with 100 wings that he summoned. That single touch was capable of negating the vector controlling power of said wing as well.

According to Index's speculation, Imagine Breaker negates God's blessings, which is the luck people have, as is the reason why Touma is misfortunate, much to his horror. Furthermore, she speculates that his Imagine Breaker may also negate the, which would also explain why girls gather around him without effort.

Under certain conditions, the Imagine Breaker can be affected to a certain extent by similar powers crystallized from the collective hopes and desires of magicians such as World Rejecter.

Effects on natural forces
The Imagine Breaker, however, is unable to negate the Power of the World, its ley lines, the lifeforces and souls of human beings, due to them being natural, despite being supernatural as well. According to Leivinia Birdway this is because the Imagine Breaker normalizes things that are of abnormal values, specifically, it destroys things that have had their harmony taken. However, things such as the aforementioned examples, have always been uniform from the start despite being supernatural in nature. Touma's Imagine Breaker can only destroy things that had their harmony's taken from them, as such something that had been abnormal from the start, such as the power of the world will never not be negated by the Imagine Breaker. Furthermore, Leivinia states that a cycle was probably set up from the start to be like that, and not how much the world can replenish power.

Effects on angels and divine beings
Imagine Breaker also seems capable of affecting an angel, since Archangel Gabriel who became Misha using Sasha Kreutzev's body didn't dare to try and touch Touma's right hand when he offered her candy. Kazakiri Hyouka, the artificial angel, is subconsciously afraid of physically touching Touma. Furthermore, as a reaction to the Imagine Breaker, Hyouka gains a consciousness and is born within the Imaginary Number District. However, Touma cannot apparently completely negate them with the Imagine Breaker, as it's been shown that an angelic being has a core, which require it's destruction to be properly destroyed. Such as the triangular prism within Hyouka's head or of the AIM Burst's. Archangel Gabriel too also returned to its realm upon coming into contact with Touma's Imagine Breaker near the end of World War III.

It is unknown what effects Touma's Imagine Breaker could have on other supernatural being such as Aiwass, though it can be assumed that since he also has a core, the effects of Imagine Breaker on him still applies.

Science side
Despite Touma's status as a esper is something that many treat as a non-issue, but since he is enrolled in Academy City, he is often associated as part of the Science side. Touma's Imagine Breaker can not be detected or classified by their machines, and just classfied Touma as a Level 0. As such Aleister Crowley considers him neither a esper nor a magician but rather a normal person with a unique ability. This allows Touma's actions to have a little leeway, since he is neither a magician nor an esper, he can interfere in various magic side business without implicating Academy City for directly interfering with magic side matters, such as what has occurred during the invasion of Misawa Cram School by Aureolus Izzard. Even Aleister Crowley seems to take advantage of this, allowing Touma do go into dangerous situations regardless of sides for his plans.

Most of the science side however, is unaware or plainly ignorant of the existence of the Imagine Breaker, and certain members of the general population, such as Saten Ruiko consider the existence of a person who has an ability that negate other abilities as an interesting urban legend.

This is also apparent in the dark side of Academy City, as only a few people such as Girl in the dress, Kinuhata Saiai, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu, are aware of Touma's importance to Aleister Crowley, despite not knowing how exactly he fits into his plans.

In the fight with Rensa, she used her illegal access to Academy City’s giant database known as the Bank and identified Touma's power listed there. According to the System Scan results recorded in the Bank, he was listed as a true Level 0 but, unlike normal Level 0s, the precision equipment had truly not been able to detect anything. She did find a comment that had been added saying there were reports of him being able to negate other powers. Normally she would have also dismissed these as rumors that he himself had spread, if not for witnessing them firsthand. She fought off the impulse to try and create the characteristics for his power until she detected an attack that was about to be launched from Kuroyoru Umidori and choose to counter it by creating the Imagine Breaker to try it out before killing Touma. Though she had met all of the necessary conditions for creating it in her hand, then her arm swelled up like a balloon from the unknown thing from beyond his right hand that resulted in her arm had completely blown off. Unlike Sogiita Gunha's power, which she is unable to reproduce due to it being unexplainable, while she was able to gain some understanding of Imagine Breaker the results of reproducing it proved to be extremely hazardous; this likely proves how, much like Accelerator's relationship with the Dark May Project, there has been no known previous attempts into replicating Imagine Breaker's power as the mere attempt would obviously be disastrous, along with having extremely low successful results, thus further proving its value in the science side.

Magic side
In the Christian dominations of the magic side, especially the Roman Catholic Church, the Imagine Breaker is considered a heretical power as it denies the blessings of God. In the most extreme cases, Touma himself is considered the heretic for having that power, although him being presently active in many failed Roman Catholic missions did not help his case. His heretical nature would later inevitably spark the invasion of Academy City, and later World War III.

After the end of the third world war, Touma has become a major target by magicians, and some, such as the masterminds behind Radiosonde Castle has even gone out of their way to endanger the entire world just so to kill him. Othinus the Magic God and leader of Gremlin, her goal to use her as Magic God power to distort the world, specifically to take this world where Academy City and the science side have won and distort it beyond recognition. For this reason, she not only sees no value in the Imagine Breaker that can negate her distortion acting as a reference point to before the distortion still existed. Gremlin wishes to cut that lifeline and do nothing but insuring the loss of this back-up of the previous world.

Speculation and important points
The true nature of Kamijou Touma and the Imagine Breaker has yet to be revealed, but slowly, it has been shown that it had a different owner other than Touma in the past. Both Terra of the Left and Fiamma of the Right had conjecture of its nature, with Terra of the Left, basing upon his experience on Fiamma of the Right's Holy Right, thinks that it could be extended beyond the right hand, while Fiamma of the Right terribly underestimated the true extent of the true nature of Touma's Imagine Breaker upon severing it. But the most obvious example is Aleister Crowley's interest in Kamijou Touma and the Imagine Breaker, having been implied to deliberately send Touma to dangerous situations since his introduction, such as setting up his meeting with Kazakiri Hyouka, as well as manipulating Touma to confront Oriana Thomson.

Touma and the Imagine Breaker's importance is later brought into further light, as he is considered the core of Aleister Crowley's plan alongside Accelerator. Touma's actions have been calculated to be within the error range of his plans, meaning that any action Touma may take can be beneficial. In fact, the Imagine Breaker was apparently affecting 98% of Aleister's plans before the start of Carissa's civil war. Since another person had the Imagine Breaker before Touma, it can be assumed that this is what Aleister Crowley referred to when he comments upon having his "illusions" destroyed a long time ago, when Tsuchimikado Motoharu warned him to be wary of using Touma.

Furthermore, Touma's significance is so great that he is valued to be greater than any esper in Academy City. During Academy City's planned retrieval of him during World War III, he was to be kept alive at all cost during retrieval, however if he had sided with an organization, he was to be attacked and later kept alive with the same life support system used for Kakine Teitoku, on his way to Academy City. His importance is further emphasized as even Aiwass has taken an interest in him, alongside Accelerator and Hamazura Shiage.

Later it is reported by Ollerus who believes that Terra of the Left was probably the person who came the closest to knowing the identity of the Imagine Breaker through researching the contradiction needed for the Son of God to be killed by human hands. He notes that the Imagine Breaker is the collection of the hope and the fear of all magicians. To him, it is the reference point or template to the original world. Its negation of supernatural phenomenon returns the world back to normal before the phenomenon occurred. As such, the Imagine Breaker embodies the hopes of magicians who can act all they want without fear of losing the original world, and is the fear of magicians because it removes the distortion they have created. It acts as a lifeline that allows the world to be reverted to normal, no matter how far it has been distorted in any direction. This is the very reason why someone who wants to distort the world beyond recognition from the previous one, like the Majin Othinus, see the Imagine Breaker as a threat. Othinus herself would eventually make use of Imagine Breaker's function as a reference point to recreate Touma's original world after her battle with him, a process she later compared to watching an infinitely-expanding snow crystal growing from calculated core.

The Imagine Breaker's nature as a power crystallized from the hopes, dreams and desires of magicians would later be affirmed by the Magic Gods themselves, who due to wielding the vast majority of the Magic Side's power have the greatest influence in the formation of such powers. Due to the true Gremlin's emerging doubts in Touma, whom they wished to be their 'scorer', brought about by his interactions with Othinus, some of the power focused on the incomplete Imagine Breaker escaped and began to form a new power, leading to the creation of the World Rejecter, a crystallization of the wishes of magicians to escape to a new world rather than cling to the current one like with Imagine Breaker.

Beyond the right hand
It has been hinted even from the very beginning that Touma's Imagine Breaker has a queer connection with dragons, with Touma's Imagine Breaker being able to destroy the Walking Church, that supposedly could only be destroyed if the Dragon that St. George defeated would descend again. Strangely, Touma later does battle with both St. George's Sanctuary and Dragon's Breath in the same value, being unable to completely negate it and requiring Stiyl Magnus and Kanzaki Kaori's assistance. However, the most striking example of this is in the climax of the Deep Blood Arc. Wherein after Touma had his entire right arm cut off, Touma uses Aureolus Izzard's Ars Magna against him using fear, which made Aureolus conjure up the dragon head that was used to defeat him. The dragon head was referred to as the Dragon Strike (<rb>竜王の顎</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>ドラゴンストライク</rt><rp>) </rp>). It is later hinted that Aureolus may not have been the one to come up with imagining Touma's arm to be replaced by a dragon.

The Dragon Strike reappeared when Touma's arm was blown off in his attempt to stop Misaka Mikoto, while her powers were rising to Level 6, from firing a highly destructive giant black sphere during Daihaseisai. In its reappearance in stopping the destructive collected energy sphere by tearing it apart, it was accompanied by seven other dragon heads all of different appearances and all of them extending out with long necks from Touma's stump. As both Mikoto and Sogiita Gunha saw the dragon, this proves that the Dragon Strike wasn't merely imagined by Aureolus. It should be noted that within Christian Church, the dragon represents more than one thing. It represents pagans and foreign invading forces, but also represents a fallen angel stained with evil.

The presence of something beyond the Imagine Breaker in Touma's right hand is not addressed again until the climax of the third world war. When Fiamma severed Touma's right arm along with the Imagine Breaker in order to absorb that power into himself, it was not for the Imagine Breaker ability, but for it to act as a medium for his Holy Right to gain a corporeal form. Immediately afterwards an "invisible thing" gathered on Touma's right shoulder which made all Fiamma has pale in comparison, but Touma unexpectedly crushed that power with "an even greater power" and then took back the Imagine Breaker. Although the true nature of those powers is unclear, Touma is shown to be able to communicate with the "invisible thing" referring to the power as "you" before refusing to use its power, crushing the power and regenerating his lost right arm much like what he likely did when he saved Misaka Mikoto from Kihara Gensei's Level 6 Shift attempt on her.

After Fiamma's right arm was severed by Aleister, it was confirmed there is more to Touma's right hand than just "a right hand that can negate supernatural ability". Touma's right hand is a vessel that can be used to house a greater power, and this is the main reason why Aleister and Fiamma seeks Touma's right hand, not for Imagine Breaker. Due to Fiamma's discovery of something within Touma's right hand, Aleister is forced to make an appearance into the world, hinting on how he knew what was inside Touma all along and now that Fiamma knew of its existence forces Aleister to eliminate Fiamma by his own hands. Although Aleister failed in killing Fiamma of the Right, it showed how important the Imagine Breaker, and especially the unknown power residing in Touma's right hand, is to Aleister's plans that he is willing to show himself to the world and ruin his ruse of him being dead to the world.

However, the most important aspect of this is that Touma now also knows that something resides in his right hand and wishes to understand what is Imagine Breaker. Regardless of this desire, Touma has never used the invisible power on his own volition and prefers to use the Imagine Breaker instead. Although it should be noted that during the final part of his battle with the High Priest, Touma has seemingly tried to use whatever it is that resides in his right hand to stop the comet, which High Priest fused with, from falling to Academy City.

Design evolution
Below is Haimura Kiyotaka's design of the Dragon Strike for Toaru Majutsu no Index 2nd light novel volume. Following that are designs for the dragon heads released by the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga editor from his Twitter account. These are the dragon heads that appeared from Touma's severed arm as seen in the tankobon of the 10th volume of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Designed by Kiya Shii, it shows 8 of the dragon heads as well as additional 9 designs that have been rejected.

Trivia

 * A very specific and high pitched sound is played in nearly every moment where Touma's Imagine Breaker negates something in both seasons of the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime adaptation.
 * The negation sound used in the anime adaptation of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun is a different sounding effect, a similarly high pitched sound which echoes slightly.
 * The song Gensō Goroshi is present in the 2nd Toaru Majutsu no Index original soundtrack, and is named after Touma's ability. It is used in all animated adaptations of the franchise, both Railgun and Index, and is played often during moments of building towards action sequences. On the same soundtrack the song, Breakthrough can be found, having a faster tempo than the former and having a heavier rock-oriented arrangement.

On the Imaginary Number District
Academy City is the only place in the world that has and creates esper powers and advanced technology that can rival the Magic side. Moreover, regarding espers, they are a vital part in the plan as the aggregation of their AIM dispersion fields creates the Imaginary Number District, and allows both Kazakiri Hyouka and Aiwass to take shape in the world.

The Imaginary Number District has a different set of laws than those who abide to religions, when the Imaginary Number District, however, is brought forth into the same realm as Academy City, it creates pressure inside the city, making all magicians that use magic inside the city overload and injure themselves.

On the Sisters
The Sisters Project was made to produce clones of Misaka Mikoto for military use, but was later scrapped when researchers discovered that the clones were only 2-3 levels. The project was later reused for the Level 6 Shift, creating 20,000 clones for Accelerator to kill in order to achieve Level 6. However, this too was scrapped due to Touma's actions. Although earlier than planned, Aleister wanted to have the Level 6 Shift fail all along in order to migrate the massive amount of individual clones to outside facilities for treatment. Moreover, they can also be used for military operations, such as what happened during the Gemstone Mining incidents.

This is because Aleister wanted to cover the globe with the remaining Sisters, who, being espers, release AIM fields.

On Angels and beings
Perhaps the most crucial of all parts of the mysterious plan surrounding AIM, is the creation of angels, all brought out through the AIM dispersion fields by espers. The first angel brought out was the Key to the Imaginary Number District, Kazakiri Hyouka, which when inputted with a code can become Fuse=KAZAKIRI, a powerful angelic form.

However, it is later revealed that Fuse=KAZAKIRI was simply a model to allow Aiwass a mysterious powerful being that was once Aleister's mentor into the world. Like Hyouka, it requires the AIM dispersion fields to even exist, and like her, requires a code inputted into Last Order that is propagated into the Misaka Network in order to take shape.

However, the is even greater speculation to this is that Aiwass may even be just simply a means not an end to the plan, as it is continued to be kept secret despite its potential against Academy City's enemies.

Accelerator
Referred to as The One Who Wields the Power of God, since Level 5s are ranked in which how much use they are to the research of SYSTEM, Accelerator being the 1st ranked is the closest to achieving Level 6 and understanding the sense of the heavens. It is confirmed that Aleister truly does want Accelerator to go "beyond" Level 6, as asked by the Heaven Canceller towards him, as he stated that he has successfully inputted the with the numerical settings of the AIM dispersion fields into Accelerator, and in the process of making Accelerator, Last Order, and Kazakiri Hyouka as the Trinity. This maybe a reference to Accelerator getting black wings. If so, it could mean that Accelerator gaining even more angelic properties such as white wings and a halo, as what happened in World War III, maybe a step forward in his plans.

Kakine Teitoku
Referred to as The One Who Has Touched the Territory of God, he is the "Spare Plan" for Aleister Crowley's plans if ever Accelerator fails to meet his expectation. Despite Aleister's apparent disregard for his life, it has been shown that Teitoku is only as useful as his powers, and is still "reused" by him to create Dark Matter after collecting the parts of his body in his dismemberment during his battle with Accelerator. After being replaced by Beetle 05 in becoming Kakine Teitoku, it is unknown what state Teitoku now has in Aleister's plans.

Kamijou Touma
Perhaps the most central of all in his plans is Touma, who wields the current generation of the Imagine Breaker. It is implied by Heaven Canceller that Aleister had influence in having Touma sent to Academy City. The most readily significant change that Touma's arrival in Academy City is giving birth to Kazakiri Hyouka, Aiwass' model, in the Imaginary Number District due to fear of it being killed by Touma's Imagine Breaker.

Despite his importance to his plans, he is more than willing to use Touma in dangerous situations, and is described by Stiyl Magnus as it is almost like Aleister is deliberately giving Touma trials to overcome like the Saints of ancient times. Although seemingly not enough for Touma to handle or for Aleister to influence, as he gives a direct order in retrieving Kamijou Touma back to Academy City, keeping it best that he is alive. Moreover, according to Girl in the dress, that even though Touma and Accelerator act in irregularly, it is still within the range of Aleister's plan.

He is referred to as one of the main cogs of his main plan, and that he has 98% chance of affecting the plan, though it is unknown what this entails. His importance is obviously connected to the Imagine Breaker and the invisible thing inside it. A fact that is so important, that Aleister Crowley appeared back into the world himself after Fiamma of the Right caught a glimpse of it when he severed Touma's right arm from him.

Conclusion and Speculation
Although it is not yet fully reckoned, we can speculate some parts of Aleister's plans.

Aleister Crowley will enwrap the world in an AIM Field network thanks to the Sisters. Moreover, it has been shown that a being that requires AIM for their existence need not stay in Academy City, but can use the Sister's AIM field to move, as what Kazakiri Hyouka did when she went to Russia, her existence supported by the Sisters. If Tsuchimikado Motoharu's speculations are true that Aleister wants to create an Artificial Heaven, then it is probably for the purpose of allowing beings like Hyouka and Aiwass to exist upon the world, and eliminating the use of magic at the same time.

The ties of the beings that can achieve Level 6, like Accelerator, is still unknown. However, several key terms have often been referenced throughout the series regarding SYSTEM, such as finding a body that exceeds humans and can do God's calculations. , that can be used to shed some light in this. It would mean that Aleister is forcing Accelerator to evolve in order to understand concepts that are beyond human, or if Heaven Canceller's speculations are true, beyond God itself. We can infer that this new god's heaven would be the Artificial Heaven that has been created.

Finally, with regards to Touma and his Imagine Breaker's purpose in his plans. According to Aleister himself, other than Fiamma of the Right basing it on an outdated format, what he did was similar to his plan. His plan, according to him, is to change the world by preparing a temple filled with strange power, drawing out the power of the right arm within that temple, and readjusting the thickness of the phase itself with that power. Moreover, he states that "Academy City is not different from a small world that has sealed a certain type of power." This can easily be applied to Aleister preparing Artificial Heaven to completely change the world, with the temple being Academy City filled with the strange power known as AIM. With the context of Aleister and Fiamma's conversation, it would imply that the invisible thing would be critical in the plan, where the power of Touma's right arm would be drawn out. Since Fiamma of the Right summoned an angelic being to change the world, it could be assumed that Aleister would do something similar as well, like Aiwass being summoned to distort the world.

In the end, there is still uncertainty in what Aleister is planning, but it would most likely not be contained in Academy City alone. Though not confirmed, it is likely related to his initial motivations for starting down the path of magic; his childhood-born hatred of the God who created the world as well as his desire to find the correct laws which that God could not and improve the world and humanity.

Other things
Another aspect of Aleister's plan which has yet to be elaborated upon is the 'opposing axis'. The confrontation between Kihara Noukan and Kamisato Kakeru, in which Noukan's Anti-Art Attachment was ineffective due to its connection to Aleister and his conflicting desires, a dead-end which Noukan in the end couldn't break through, was apparently part of the opening act in order to create the 'opposing axis', with Aleister setting up the rails to reach the conclusion benefiting him most while taking into account his own weaknesses. As he was about to be put into cold-sleep, the mortally wounded Noukan considered that his student Kihara Yuiitsu would likely be thrown onto the front line and that the fact that he would be retiring there might well have been arranged as preparation for something, possibly Aleister's next move to deal with World Rejecter, and as such chose his last words to encourage Yuiitsu's growth in order to surpass him and become a new type of Kihara which would be needed for the future.

While no plan has apparently been made by Aleister concerning the Gemstones, he left Kaizumi Tsugutoshi to deal with collecting them rather than let foreign countries crudely experiment on them.

Status
For the most part everything was either according to plan or within acceptable results up until the events at the end of World War III. When Fiamma and Touma clashed, all of rules of the "old world" especially the parts Aleister had controlled were all gone. So many variables and deviations happened to the point where he cannot take any real action even through the use of hostages of others.

As of December 3rd, Aleister has finally recovered and his plan is back on track, however he himself has cursed it for the first time, coming to the realization that what he was doing was little different from what the Magic Gods he so thoroughly hated did.

Interferences

 * GREMLIN, more specifically, the Majin Othinus. She is attempting to create a new type of esper that rivals Academy City's espers—a Holistic esper. Moreover, she is interested by the "specimen" that resides within the Windowless Building to create such a being.
 * Leivinia Birdway has stated that she was studying his work up until his supposed death, and when she told him that his plan was starting to crumble, he gave her a warning instead of killing her. Due to her manipulations, she created the conditions that led to all 27 companies affiliated with Academy City to cease all cooperation, which led them into forming the Anti-Academy City Science Guardians, another hard hit for Aleister.
 * Aleister himself has stated that Heaven Canceller can easily stop him if he desires so; he only needs to stop the machines that keep Aleister alive and everything would be over. The Frog-Faced Doctor scorned such idea, as Aleister was also one of his patients. Because the doctor refused his last chance at doing so, Aleister cut all links with him, including his control over Aleister's life-support machines.
 * Hamazura Shiage: all scenarios and ideas point out that Level 0s would always die, or at the very least, get heavily injured in a clash of high powers; Shiage constantly breaks all odds and emerges with either superficial or minor injuries. Shiage has defeated a Level 5 three times, something of which is impossible yet done; this has forced Aleister to rework numerous plans and the need to have him eliminated.
 * Imagine Breaker has been stated by Aleister to affect 98% of his plans, thought it is unknown what this entails. However, if Touma were to ever learn the true grasp of Aleister's plans, he would most certainly not take it lying down. Motoharu once warned Aleister that if he continues using the Imagine Breaker, then he should ready himself not to treat him halfheartedly, for surely, his right hand will eat his illusions alive.
 * Ollerus made himself clear on how the Gemstones should be handled in Academy City when he easily took out the strongest gemstone, Sogiita Gunha, to send Aleister a clear message.
 * Fiamma of the Right, with his own version of the right hand; even though Fiamma saw the truth "within" Kamijou Touma, and detaining the means of understanding it with his Osiris knowledge, something Aleister can't allow, he thought it was enough to just cut off Fiamma's physical right arm and beat him, leaving him for dead. He survived, something Aleister hadn't planned, thanks to his Holy Right keeping him alive and the rescue by Ollerus. He might prove to be a reoccurring threat to his plans due to his apparent ability to understand what lies within Kamijou Touma.
 * Fräulein Kreutune is an impediment to the plan, due to her innate drive to learn and transform after acquiring enough information, and then transforming that can reverse the position of prey and predator, and irreversibly damaging her world. She is imprisoned in the Windowless Building to deprive of her senses and putting her in an environment that she does not consider interesting stops her from learning anything and potentially "transforming." After failing to evolve that can threaten Aleister's plan, inadvertently through Touma's efforts, she may no longer be a threat to the plan.
 * Kamisato Kakeru and the World Rejecter weren't known to Aleister prior to the attack on the true Gremlin on December 3rd and thus weren't initially factored into the plan.
 * Misaka Mikoto coming into contact with the Anti-Art Attachment has created a potential threat which Aleister intends to have eliminated.

Aspects of God
In the 3rd volume of Toaru Majutsu no Index, Index compares the goals of Academy City, which is to achieve SYSTEM, or One who is not a god yet reaches the will of the Heavens, to the teachings of the Kabbalah, specifically she referred to Ein Sof Ohr, Ein Sof, Ein.


 * Ein is translated as null, void, or nothingness, and corresponds to 0.
 * Ein Sof is translated as infinity, and corresponds to 00, and is the emanator of 10 Sephirot.
 * Ein Sof Ohr is translated as infinite light, and corresponds to 000.
 * Ein caused Ein Sof, and Ein Sof begot Ein Sof Ohr.

Ein Sof in Kabbalah, is understood as God prior to His manifestation in the production of any spiritual Realm — before God changes His Self, known as to the creation of the physical world. Ein Sof may be translated as "no end", "unending," or infinite. Ein Sof is the divine origin of all created existed, in contrast to the Ein, which is infinite nothingness. Ohr on the other hand, is translated as light, and is used as an analogy as a way of describing metaphysical Divine emanations of God.

Ein Sof Ohr or Ohr Ein Sof means The Infinite Light, and is the Kabbalistic term for the Divine essence. In the Kabbalah, it describes the 10 Sephirot (The 10 Divine emanations or attributes), that reveal the unknowable Godhead to the creations and channel the creative life-force to all levels of existence. As well as the 10 "lights" of God encapsulated in the Sephirot, Kabbalah also describes a more primordial light that shines from the Ein Sof (Infinite) itself. This light, the origin of all Creation, and all lower lights, is called the "Ohr Ein Sof" ("The light of the Infinite", or alternatively, itself "The Infinite Light"). Before Creation, there could be no being to behold a revelation of Divine light. The Ohr Ein Sof is a form of Divine self knowledge, and through God knowing Himself, He created everything, with its subsequent historical unfolding, and its ultimate purpose in the innermost Divine Will.

The above can be explained as God, has known Himself, and through it, He created everything from infinite nothingness, and from there emanated his divine presence, infinitely upon His creations.

In relation to the story
Since the purpose of SYSTEM is to find a way to reach the will of the heavens and for Academy City to find a body that exceeds humans and can do God's calculations, this comes off as particularly blasphemous to Index. Simply put, SYSTEM is the achievement of becoming the same as God, and goes up against God's will, by removing one's self from his divine light.

Furthermore, Kabbalah teaches that God is neither matter nor spirit, but is the creator both, is unknowable and the revealed aspect of God that created the universe, preserves the universe, and interacts with mankind. Because God is infinite (Ein Sof), nothing can be said of His essence, and that the 10 emanations through the Sephirot is only partially accessible to human thought.

Tree of Sephirot
The Tree of Sephirot, meaning Tree of enumerations, represent the 10 attributes/emanations in Kabbalah, through which God reveals himself and continuously creates both the physical realm and the chain of higher metaphysical realms. The emanations arise out of the tree preliminary states that are considered to precede manifestation. The first is the Ein, the second is the Ein Sof (the concentration of Ein), and the third is Eins Sof. The Sephiroth was brought from the Ein Sof, and from the brilliance of God's light, the Ein Sof Ohr, took form of as His emanations.

The Ten Sephirot
(unprocessed)

In relation to the story
The version of the Tree of Sephirot, which omits the Da'at Sephirah, though traditionally it is often omitted from the Tree. Da'at is translated as (Knowledge), where all 10 sephirot are united as one. In Da'at, all sefirot exist in their perfected state of infinite sharing. The three sephirot of the left column that would receive and conceal the Divine Light, instead share and reveal it. Since all sephirot radiate infinite self-giving Divine Light, it is no longer possible to distinguish one sefira from another. Thus they are one.

It should be noted that his version has been adapted by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its descendant organizations. Kircher's version shows twenty-two channels or pathways connecting the Sephiroth, arranged in the same pattern as is found on the modern Tree. Each channel has been assigned one of the Hebrew letters.

It can be assumed that this may what Index be referring to as the slot where God's positions amongst the other hierarchy is. However, this is highly unlikely, as the Sephirot is the emanation of God, and no single Sephirah nor the entire Tree, consitute to the whole limiteless state of God. Thus, Index's reaction when Komoe reveals Academy City's goal of SYSTEM, as it is not part of the emanation of God, and a being separate from his emanation is separate from Ein Sof, implying that the being in itself has his own infinity. In Toaru Majutsu no Index, the Tree is referred to as a basic concept where 10 levels are arranged, separating God, Angels, Humans, and souls, and to represent that God reigns supreme over everything. Furthermore, both Stiyl Magnus and Tsuchimikado Motoharu state that people can train in order to achieve a higher level, but there is a limit to how much humans can climb.

During Angel Fall, Motoharu refers that all of the positions in the sephirot are full and is such, two beings cannot exist in the same sephirot, forcing a switch. It should be noted that there are beings that rule over each sephirot, though it varies depending on the source. It is unknown if this was what Motoharu referring to.

Four Worlds
The Four Worlds (四界) are the comprehensive categories of spiritual realms in Kabbalah in the descending chain of Existence. These "Worlds" denotes the emanation of God's light, the Ohr, from the Ein Sof Divinte Infinite, through progressive, innumerable constrictions of his Ohr in order to allow for the "conceptual space" in which a finite and seemingly independent world could exist. These constrictions or dimming of his light, form differentiated spirtiual levels. Higher realms metaphorically denote greater relvelation of God's divine Ohr light, and more open to their source, or closer to God.


 * 1) Atziluth (World of Emanation) On this level the light of the Ein Sof, radiates and is still united with its source. This supernal revelation the souls and Divine emanations in Atzilus from sensing their own existence, which would mean that those that reside with this realm are unaware of their self.
 * 2) Briah (World of Creation) On this level is the first concept of creatio ex nihilo, yet without shape or form. Here, the creations of Beri'ah are aware of their selves, of their own existence, but cease being Divine.
 * 3) Yetzirah (World of Formation) This level have beings that have assumed shaped and form. The beings here worship through Divine emotion and striving, as they sense their distance from the Understanding of Beriah.
 * 4) Assiah (World of Action) On this level the creation is complete, differentiated and particular, due to the concealment and diminution of the Divine vitality. However, it is still on a spiritual level. Assiah is separated as spiritual and physical, and here in the physical Assiah, is the material Universe of humans with all its creations.

In relation to the story
Continuing with the explation of Angel Fall to Touma, Kanzaki Kaori states that the spell affects all of the four worlds, from those closest to the Divine light of God, and in the lowest from it, the world of humans, switching the inside and the outside states of the beings.

According to Fiamma of the Right, Angel Fall occurred only because there was a distortion of the Laws of the World, allowing for the switching of the elements and attributes of the Archangels and the ability of those beings to name themselves without God's permission. This would imply that a terribly powerful source pervaded through the four worlds and distorted the divine light of God, perhaps something that is outside the Ein Sof of God.

Background

 * Religious/occult
 * Religious/occult

The base of Rosenthal-style Necromancy is comprised of Kabbalic concepts with aspects of the Taoist Hopping Zombie Spell mixed in.(Ref, Ch29/33)

Kabbalah, together with Hermeticism, forms a key part of the base of the Golden-style Magic developed by the Golden Dawn.(NT18-Ch2/3)

Current:

The technique of animating corpses using artificial souls used by the Rosenthal Family was derived from several hundred years of Kabbalic knowledge, and further developed using elements of the Hopping Zombie Spell into Rosenthal-style Necromancy.

Among attempts by magicians to pass between sephira in history, one of the most notable attempts was by Aleister Crowley during a trip to Africa. In order to pass through the abyss without taking spiritual damage, Aleister wished to become one with that abyss. During this experiment, he encountered the demon Coronzon, who was not contained within the existing Qliphoth and broke through Aleister's attempts to bind it.

Deep Blood Arc
Index mentioned Kabbalah during her first meeting with Himegami Aisa regarding her validity as a magician. It was included in her list together with the likes of Enoch, Hermeticism, Vision of Mercury and modern astrology.

Sisters Arc
When Tsukuyomi Komoe explained SYSTEM to Index, she realized similarities to concepts in Kabbalah, such as the Tree of Life, the Sephiroth, and Ein Sof Ohr, as well as.

Angel Fall Arc
The Four Worlds and the Sephiroth were several of the elements forming the basis of Angel Fall, and the concepts were described during the explanation of the spell.

Kazakiri Hyouka Arc
Sherry Cromwell, well-versed in Kabbalah, made use of Kabbalic concepts mixed with other elements to produce her golem, Ellis. Faced with this golem, Index identified this basis and also made use of Notarikon, a quick Kabbalah reading method, in her Spell Intercept.

Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc
The basis model for the method of decoding the Book of the Law, which Orsola Aquinas devised but was later stated to be incorrect, involves, a form of permutation from Kabbalah, using a special form that has special rule which was closely related to the number of lines in the book.

World Rejecter Arc
When Othinus and Nephthys were giving Touma a lecture on European magicians and the Dark Continent, they mentioned that in Golden-style Tarot, the Major Arcana are linked to the paths connecting the Sephira.

Kamisato Rescue Arc
The concept of the Four Worlds was one of the elements utilized in Toyama Luca's spell to retrieve Kamisato Kakeru from the 'new world'. Aleister Crowley also referred to both the Sephiroth and Qliphoth as means of attaining spiritual knowledge if used correctly.

Aleister Crowley Arc
During the ascent through the Windowless Building, Index and later Aleister noted that it symbolized a third tree, different from the Sephiroth or Qliphoth, built up from scratch.

Necromancer Arc
In order to achieve the Rosenthal Family's goal of creating the perfect golem, Isaac Rosenthal attempted to shift the artificial soul of the Taowu, which he had been placed in, to Keter using 'memories of death' from the Misaka Network, obtained from Misaka 10046.

Uses of Kabbalah within the story (Current)

 * Four Worlds: A categorization of spiritual realms.
 * The concept of the Four Worlds was one of the elements utilized in Toyama Luca's spell to retrieve Kamisato Kakeru from the 'new world'.
 * Golems: An animated anthropomorphic being, created entirely from inanimate matter. In the Kabbalah, humans are created by God through dirt, and the poor copies that humans make are called golems, imitations that are not properly created.
 * Sherry Cromwell's golem, Ellis, is apparently an attempt to create a higher existence than that of a human, like angels. Sherry's golem was created in the image of a cross, its head, right arm, left arm, and legs corresponding to each present position, and each assigned with the power of the four Archangels. However, this is of course impossible for Sherry, due to her outdated techniques, as Aleister Crowley can attest as he has managed to make one of his own.
 * The method of creating golems from corpses devised Obed Rosenthal and used by his descendants as part of Rosenthal-style Necromancy, is derived from the Kabbalh.
 * Notarikon: A quick Kabbalah reading method.
 * Index's Spell Intercept uses Notarikon, which uses a unique pronounciation method of only using the first alphabet, with the aim of turning it into a code and making it quicker to read.
 * Qliphoth: The polar opposite of the Sephiroth.
 * Aleister Crowley refers to both the Sephiroth and Qliphoth as means of attaining spiritual knowledge if used correctly. He has made use of the Qliphoth in the past.
 * Sephiroth: Ten positions and attributes present on the Tree of Sephirot (also referred to as the Tree of Life).
 * In Golden-style Tarot, the Major Arcana are linked to the paths connecting the Sephira.
 * A sephiroth is one of the elements which comprise the artificial souls used in Rosenthal-style Necromancy. Part of the Rosenthals' goal in creating the perfect golem involved having the artificial soul reach Keter.
 * Aleister Crowley refers to both the Sephiroth and Qliphoth as means of attaining spiritual knowledge if used correctly. He and others have compared the inside of the Windowless Building to a third tree separate from the previous two.
 * Temurah: A Kabalistic technique known also as permutation. It is a way which kabalists use in order to rearange words and sentences to give them a new meaning.
 * Orsola Aquinas specifically states that the basis model of decoding the Book of the Law is using, using a special form that has special rule that’s closely related to the number of lines in the book. Needless to say, Orsola was wrong.

Appearance
Apparently, its appearance and shape is only due to the Fuse=KAZAKIRI, which was formed in order to give Aiwass a body. Its true form is still unknown, but Aiwass appears in the current year of the timeline as a golden haired being, with a tall and thin stature. Aiwass appears wearing loose white clothing that covers its body entirely. It is effeminate-looking, but its gender is never specified and is described as hard to ascertain. Its expression is also difficult to ascertain, having a mix of happiness, sadness, grief, and anger, and is referred to as having emotions completely different to humans.

Aiwass has been described by Fiamma of the Right as an angel that cannot be explained by the Bible or theology. Aiwass is described as the symbol of an element that is inside the world created by God and also outside the hands of God. Even Aiwass describes itself as different from the angels of the Bible.

Personality
Unlike its student, Aiwass has a casual way of talking, making interjections such as "Oops" as well as swearing. Aiwass also talks in a way that includes terms and sounds which are distorted when spoken, as if the aural law of the world cannot accommodate the sound, or it is a form of its own Angelic language.

As opposed to Aleister Crowley, who judges things on their efficiency, Aiwass judges things on whether it has value or not. It appears disinterested in the affairs of the world, though showing interest in both Accelerator's and Kakine Teitoku's abilities, as well as Kamijou Touma and Hamazura Shiage. Apparently its only motivation is to experience interesting things, such as trying to use a cellphone despite not needing one, as well as meddling in Aleister's plans, sending off Accelerator, and Kazakiri Hyouka to Russia. It is also uncaring of being killed, and actually challenges Accelerator to try and kill it. Moreover, it apparently gets bored so easily, that Aleister required to install an anti-suicide mechanism into its defenses in order for it not to kill itself out of boredom.

In addition, it doesn't care about Aleister's threats about losing its status as above mortals forever, saying that it never asked for its powers in the first place and it would not matter either way.

Background
Much of its existence is unknown and has implied that it can exist for thousands of years. According to Stiyl Magnus, in one of Aleister Crowley's trips in order to carry out a magical experiment, he used his wife who accompanied him around the world as a medium to contact it. Most details are unknown on what happened in their meeting or how many times Aleister contacted Aiwass, but according to Stiyl, Aleister learned from Aiwass the "Angelic Technique" that no human is able to use, and recorded it in the Book of the Law. Its existence has a profound effect in Aleister's actions, and is central to his plans.

Aleister Crowley somehow managed to contain Aiwass in Academy City and is apparently stuck, probably in a different dimension, similar to the Imaginary Number District. Up until recently in the timeline, Aleister could not give it form and shape up until the production unit Fuse=KAZAKIRI was manifested. Furthermore, like Fuse=KAZAKIRI, it requires AIM Dispersion fields of the espers, a special code in Last Order that is propagated through the Misaka Network in order to take shape. It is unknown what Aiwass did before getting form, but it can be assumed that it observed the goings-on of the City, most likely of that of Touma, Accelerator, and Shiage, and its existence is known to people like Shiokishi.

Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc
Though not appearing itself, Aiwass's history with Aleister Crowley is referenced during the arc, and is mentioned as the one who have taught Aleister the contents of his magic that he would then write in the Book of the Law.

Battle Royale Arc
GROUP gathers round at unknown time after the events of the arc. Here, Tsuchimikado Motoharu has somehow retrieved the Pincet Gloves with the Tweezers, to analyze UNDER_LINE. Other than the various factions found in there, Motoharu makes a distinction after finding the word DRAGON, that would mean that its secrecy level is higher than the other dark organizations within Academy City.

DRAGON Arc
The actions of GROUP during the arc is to find the identity of the top secret DRAGON and using that information to negotiate on an even playing field with the higher ups of the city. As GROUP interrogates Shiokishi about DRAGON, he mentions that "DRAGON is everywhere," and at which point everyone present except Accelerator is knocked out, much to his surprise as Aiwass appears before him out of sheer interest.

Aiwass is surprised that Accelerator did not immediately attack it after swiftly defeating the rest of his comrades, and states to him that it was interested in him, as such it appeared before him, asking if he is disappointed by its appearance. Aiwass’ form is still incomplete, as it lapses into 'Angelic gibberish' every now and then since human language can’t convey what it wants to say. Accelerator cannot comprehend Aiwass or what it’s suggesting at first, as to him, its actions of showing up in front of him are illogical, when Academy City tried so hard to hide DRAGON’s information. Aiwass explained how humans never change, and that history is always flowing on regardless of what humans do, so even if it was defeated, it could always come back in another 10,000 years, or even 100,000 years, as it is not really of this world. Aiwass also said though Aleister always improves his plans to make them better after unforeseen events, cracks are starting to appear. When Aiwass revealed Aleister's plans to replace Last Order as she will inevitably break down, and that if it was defeated, Last Order might be saved, Accelerator decided to just kill Aiwass.

Accelerator charged at Aiwass, though his power didn't work on it and Accelerator got sliced in two by Aleister’s self-defense program that he embedded into Aiwass’ body, on the off chance it was in danger. Aiwass also had golden-white wings hidden under its hair. Accelerator brought out his black wings and tried to attack, but Aiwass only smiled and says that’s something from the Aeon of Osiris and that it was outdated and cannot possibly defeat itself, a being from the Aeon of Horus. Their wings clashed and Accelerator got beaten in one blow. Accelerator then followed the AIM Field from the SISTERs and forcibly shutdown Misaka Network, since Aiwass had said Last Order was the core for its existence for now. Aiwass impressed that Accelerator is willing to shut down the source of his powers even though he is grievously injured in order to defeat it. While Aiwass was disappearing, Accelerator pulled out his handgun and shot its exposed triangular-prism core. After Accelerator shot the core, Aiwass was still present, with the additional defenses programmed in by Aleister. Aiwass said that it was such a pity before finally defeating Accelerator.

At the end, Aiwass is shown having a conversation with Aleister. Aiwass is motivated by the 'value' of doing something, while Aleister judges things by 'efficiency.' Aiwass also comments on the differences between Touma and Accelerator; Accelerator craved for the wholesomeness of being a 'hero' like Touma, to the point he declared himself evil since he cannot reach that level, while in reality, Touma is only doing whatever he felt was right and is labeled 'righteous' by other people impulsively. Aiwass ends up asking Aleister if he envies 'heroes' like them, the three of them that stands up with their own two feet regardless what happens. One who follows his ideals no matter what (Kamijou Touma); one that tries hard to redeem himself (Accelerator); and someone who is never looked at by people, nor has any talent, but for the one person he loves, he’ll become a hero anyway (Hamazura Shiage). Aleister's voice actually strains after hearing Aiwass verbal barrages, and says that he will use anything he can, even Aiwass. He threatens Aiwass that despite it finding entertainment at the sight in the errors of his plan, he tells Aiwass that its superiority will not last forever.

Aiwass tells Aleister that it doesn't possess its power because it wished to nor does it wish to continue holding that because it worked towards that end. Aiwass concludes that it will appear again if there is something else holds value or interest to it. It is later revealed that Accelerator survived, and takes Last Order with him to the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations, a place where militaries, technologies, completely different set of laws that he has never seen before will appear if he wishes to save Last Order. It tells Accelerator to remember the term Index Librorum Prohibitorum, and though he will not find it there, but an important detail dealing with it.

World War III Arc
Accelerator mentions Aiwass several during the course in his journey. However, later after Accelerator is defeated by Touma once more, and is sent by him to the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations, Aiwass smiles back in Academy City, saying that Touma's right hand is interesting, and lamenting the fact that it couldn't meet him before he left the city.

Aiwass talks with Kazakiri Hyouka, telling her that Archangel Gabriel, or a better description is Misha Kreutzev due to a mix-up in essence, is going to descend soon and then there will be many innocents dead, and Hyouka should go and restrain Misha. Aiwass doesn't feel like going itself since that's no fun. Aiwass says itself can control the Misaka Network even without Last Order, since the SISTER clones have agreed to help, and it can expand the AIM field in Academy City all the way into Russia. Kazakiri agrees on one condition that is for Aiwass to not go after Index. Aiwass replies Index will only be targeted if she interests it. Hyouka then said if Aiwass does go after Index then she'll stop it, even if it means destroying them both. Aiwass smiled and then called her threat naive, since that statement just might perk its interest.

After World War 3 is over Kazakiri Hyouka warned Aiwass that if it continues to toy with humans one day it might be destroyed by them. Aiwass merely replied that if the frail humans can one day reach their level then that would be interesting.

Magic God Othinus Arc
One of the magic gods or bizarre magicians, as Aleister Crowley calls them, in the phase of the world that even Magic God Othinus' power could not touch, says that the cornerstone of Aleister's plan, Aiwass, is a failure, and that before long he will be at wits' end. Already enraged by their previous comments to the point of forcing him to say his magic name, Aleister attacks them.

Mental Out Arc
While facing Kihara Noukan, Shundou Toshizou, a researcher that transferred his mind to that of a killer whale and later manipulated Mitsuari Ayu in order to gain Shokuhou Misaki's Mental Out, has his water tank destroyed by Noukan's Anti-Art Attachment Powered Suit. Here Tohizou questions how the water flows around Noukan in a perfect circle. Noukan answers it is because he is like Rensa, whose role is to crush the seven Level 5s, and his role is to target being such as Ladylee Tangleroad, Fräulein Kreutune, and Aiwass. This confuses Toshizou, but Noukan simply states that he deals with things that are beyond the realm that normal people could comprehend, though says that crushing him is an odd job. With that, Noukan expands this circle and removes all the water that Toshizou is floating on. He then uses the weapons of his Anti-Art Attachment to kill Toshizou.

Aleister Crowley Arc
On December 11th, Aiwass was summoned during Aleister's battle with Kamijou Touma, using the power of the city's espers gathered at the Windowless Building via the citywide nerve network, as part of his ceremony to accomplish his goal of destroying the phases. Aiwass subsequently overwhelmed Touma, its immense power boosted further through the Blasting Rod, even casually crushing the unknown entity within Touma when it briefly emerged. However, the Reading Thoth 78 (in the form of Mina Mathers) came to Touma's aid, using its nature as the Thoth Tarot and its connection to Aiwass itself to draw on it's own power and temporarily hold it off. This bought enough time for Index's group to neutralize the magic sword embedded in Tsuchimikado Maika and disrupt the summoning, causing Aiwass to disappear.

Abilities
Aiwass is a being is formed out of the production of FUSE=Kazakiri, as such, it needs the AIM Dispersion fields of espers, the Misaka Network, and a special code in Last Order in order to exist, which however, causes a massive burden on Last Order's body. Moreover, it has been implied that it had existed before, when it came before Aleister Crowley, and that it can be assumed that its form was different to the one it has presently.

Aiwass's powers cannot be described nor comprehended, and is referenced by Accelerator as mysterious vectors. What is known is that it is powerful enough to make anyone it chooses to be knocked out. Its power enables it to bypass Accelerator's black wings as if they were non-existent. It has similar features to FUSE=Kazakiri, due to the fact she was a production model in for it to gain form and shape, moreover, Aleister inputted several defense mechanisms to Aiwass. It is unknown if this is a part of Aiwass that can be forcefully drawn out because of Aleister's implementations, or if Aleister made it for it. Aiwass is composed of AIM Dispersion fields, and requires certain processes to appear. It appears with wings and a halo. Its wings are described as glowing platinum. Upon its head was a similarly a halo that glowed a pale platinum and a white core. These mechanism allows the wings to move on their own accord without Aiwass' consent.

Also, Aiwass mentions that its current body even has a transformation function, though it wasn't shown. Accelerator's method in defeating Aiwass was via cutting the signal that was given off by the Misaka Network that guides the AIM Dispersion fields in order for Aiwass to appear in the area that they were in, and weakening the crystal, allowing for Accelerator to destroying it through a gunshot. However, Aiwass survives due to Aleister's defense mechanism, and states that even if it was killed it would've returned regardless. Due to the fact that it itself stated that it surpasses FUSE=Kazakiri, whom went toe-to-toe with Archangel Gabriel, it is implied that its power is far above that of an archangel, or most likely, any angel of Christianity.

Aiwass has displayed shades of being omniscient, being able to tell what's going on thousands of miles away, such as the location of Index, and the upcoming war in Russia. Although, due to its casual attitude it is difficult to tell, as it has shown to be forgetful that it has a defense mechanism, as well as being surprised by Aleister's carefulness in keeping it alive. Furthermore, if Shiokishi is to believed, it is apparently omnipresent, referring to it as being everywhere, at least within Academy City, where the mass of AIM dispersion fields are guided by the Misaka Network allows it to exist.

Aiwass is Aleister's greatest treasure, as it is the angel of the bottommost layer of the world, below the phases of religion and magic, right at the Pure World. As such, its power can be harnessed to destroy the phases above it, leaving the magicless world in the process. Although Aiwass was dismissed as a failure by the High Priest, it also plays a key role in Aleister's anti-Magic God countermeasures. According to Aleister, Imagine Breaker and Accelerator are required to contact Aiwass's core.

Design evolution
Aiwass' design remains the same throughout the series, and according to Haimura, designed it to look similar to Aleister Crowley.

Quotes

 * (To Accelerator from Volume 19) "I’m the one that once taught the necessary parts of the necessary knowledge to a eccentric magician named Crowley–'Aiwass.'"
 * (To Accelerator) "I wanted you to meet me, so I appeared. Are you dissatisfied?"
 * (To Accelerator after being cut) "Oh, whoops. That was my mistake."
 * (From Volume 19) "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
 * (To Aleister Crowley from Volume 19) "Well, you can still make that fit within the acceptable margin of error, right? But his mentality is much more juvenile than I had expected. He despises himself as evil, but I wonder if he realizes that is just the reverse side of his intense longing for good... And yet the Imagine Breaker that the #1 is chasing after does not take action because he associates himself with either good or evil. That Imagine Breaker is merely acting according to the spirit that is welling up from within him. It is merely that what he does looks like good from the viewpoint of others."
 * (To Aleister Crowley) "There are many different types of heroes... There are those who aren’t told what to do and just move straight ahead following the feelings welling up within... There are those who committed a major crime in the past and try to walk down the right path due to the anguish that crime brings them... And there are those who were chosen by no one and possess none of the characteristics one would expect of a hero and yet become a hero for that one person they care for. Each of those types is the type of person who will always stand back up when knocked to the ground."

Revised Version
An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM (<rb>無自覚</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>AIM</rt><rp>) </rp>)

Uses
Scientists and researchers, such as the likes of Kiyama Harumi, devote their time to research AIM, and have facilities such as the AIM Analytic Research Center dedicated to it. It is also very important in the Academy City curriculum and is taught to students as early as a student's first year of middle school. AIM diffusion fields, as stated above, are also used to investigate the Personal Reality of an esper.

AIM diffusion fields are the common demoninator in all espers, allowing for brainwave networks to exist if the espers have the same brainwave patterns.

Counters
There has been plans to develop a restraining device to restrict the use of powers by taking advantage of the AIM diffusion fields of espers, though Shirai Kuroko states that the restraining device would be too dangerous since esper powers originate deep within the brain.

Technology such as the AIM Jammer is set up to diffusely reflect an esper's AIM diffusion field causing the esper to interfere with his own power, and the level of danger that an esper faces when confronted with an AIM Jammer is dependent on the fact that the esper uses complex calculations with their powers, though depends on the individual to what extent they need these calculations.

Aggregation of AIM diffusion fields (Unprocessed)
One of the most important aspects of AIM diffusion fields aggregating. AIM Diffusion Field Resonance occurs when espers with the same type of AIM diffusion field resonate with each other, causing effects of the AIM diffusion fields more prominent. Moreover, if they are overloaded espers, it could cause a massive RSPK Syndrome outbreak.

However, the prime example of an aggregation of AIM diffusion fields is the Imaginary Number District–Five Elements Institution, a separate realm that exists in the same location as Academy City, and is formed through the millions of AIM diffusion fields of the espers that reside in the city, which is one of the core tenants of Aleister Crowley's plans.

Artificial Angels
So far shown, artificial angels, or more precisely, artificial beings, since they do not follow the laws of any religion, are formed through the AIM diffusion fields of espers. The likes of Kazakiri Hyouka, which is molded by Aleister Crowley, and the AIM Burst, which is an aggregation of the AIM diffusion fields of the espers of the Level Upper Network, afer Kiyama Harumi lost control of it, can be referred to as Artificial Angels.

Artificial angels have queer powers. For example, the AIM Burst have the ability to use all the powers of the espers that are connected to the Level Upper network, whilst Kazakiri Hyouka exhibit tremendous self-regeneration and strength, among others.

As they are merely an aggregation of AIM diffusion fields, they are most likely be able to be dispelled by the Imagine Breaker. In fact, Kazakiri Hyouka's consciousness was born out of the fear of the Imagine Breaker.

Similarly, espers such as Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku, whose powers are unique and have divine properties, can Awaken and gain greater control of their AIM fields, allowing them to update the very laws of reality themselves. In Accelerator's case, his wings are an expression of his AIM diffusion field.

Likewise, being the purpose of Fuse KAZAKIRI, is to have it take shape, Aiwass also requires a field with vast amounts of AIM to manifest himself.

Previous Version (2014)
An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM (<rb>無自覚</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>AIM</rt><rp>) </rp>), is a term used to refer to the phenomenon in which an esper involuntarily produces an invisible energy field around the esper. While the AIM Diffusion Field (AIM拡散力場) is the energy field that surrounds the esper that is made up of the aggregation of that energy.

It is only detectable through the use of machines, and is unique to the esper.

Principles
AIM is a weak energy that is unconsciously emitted by espers. It cannot be detected by the five senses, and can only be detected through the use of machines, barring espers who can actually sense them, or people like Takitsubo Rikou who can detect and even track the AIM of an esper.

AIM diffusion fields are apparently unique to the type of esper ability, as well as to the individual themselves. A few examples: Pyrokinesis espers heat up their surroundings, telekinesis espers create pressure, and electromasters release electromagnetic fields. Those with the same AIM diffusion field can cause an AIM Diffusion Field Resonance, making the effects of their AIM diffusion field seem stronger.

As they are supernatural in origin, the Imagine Breaker dispels AIM diffusion fields, making its owner the only esper without one.

Relation to Personal Reality


Personal Reality is irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Reality is the source of all esper abilities and phenomena that are brought into the real world. One can analyze a person's AIM diffusion field in order to figure out their Personal Reality, and in turn, one can investigate someone's personality and behavioral tendencies. Personal Reality can apparently be abused through the AIM diffusion fields, and can apparently be modified through the AIM fields. It would be apt then, to refer to the AIM diffusion fields as the conduit to which an esper's Personal Reality affects the real world, which is the manifestation of their abilities. Furthermore, since each AIM diffusion field is unique to the esper, it can be assumed that is due to the esper's Personal Reality. AIM diffusion fields are what is released by Himegami Aisa to attract vampires, it is what creates electromagnetic waves that moves the wind turbines when it is not moving when Misaka Mikoto is nearby, and it is the thin field that surrounds Accelerator.

When there is interference on the AIM diffusion fields, it can cause a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome. Moreover, if an esper becomes traumatized or incredibly stressed, they may lose control of themselves and are then unable to view reality properly, which would lead to the RSPK Syndrome, the AIM diffusion fields of the esper would affect their surroundings similar to that of an earthquake.

Relation to magic
AIM diffusion field is not harmful to magicians, and despite the massive diffusion field that is aggregated in Academy City, magicians are not harmed when they enter the city and are unharmed when they use magic. Moreover, even if they are a hybrid, the presence of AIM will not harm the user. However, if a magician were to use an esper ability or an esper were to use magic, they would suffer grievous injuries due to the fact that magic and esper powers operate through different laws. This is extended if ever an aggregation of AIM diffusion is "brought out" into the world, specifically, the Imaginary Number District, which creates pressure in the area wherein it is located, making any magician overload and injure themselves.

Current Heading (2017)
An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM (<rb>無自覚</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>AIM</rt><rp>) </rp>), is a term used to describe the phenomena where a field of energy is unconsciously emitted from an esper's body. This field of energy can be harnessed and manipulated for the generation of an AIM Diffusion Field (AIM拡散力場) which is any region of space where this field has a non zero magnitude of strength (e.g, the volume of space surrounding the esper emitting it).

This form is energy can only be detected via the use of machines and is unique to the esper emitting it.

Principles
AIM is a weak energy that is unconsciously emitted by espers. It cannot be detected by the five senses, and can only be detected through the use of machines, barring espers who can actually sense them, or people like Takitsubo Rikou who can detect and even track the AIM of an esper.

AIM diffusion fields are apparently unique to the type of esper ability, as well as to the individual themselves. A few examples: Pyrokinetic Espers release heat enhancing AIM diffusion fields that heat up their surroundings where'as Telekinetic Espers release pressure inducing fields around them; Electromaster Espers release electromagnetic fields around themselves where'as Accelerator Espers release vector alteration fields instead. When two AIM fields of the same nature overlap one another, they can cause an AIM Diffusion Field Resonance - increasing the strength of their AIM fields; allowing for a stronger manifestation of phenomena.

Given that the energy fields themselves are supernatural in origin, the Imagine Breaker can nullify the strength they have on their surroundings (effects), making it's owner the only known esper who is unable to utilize their AIM diffusion field, yet alone emit one.

Relation to Personal Reality
Personal Realities are irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Realities are the source of all phenomena manifested by an esper in the real world. The analysation of a person's AIM diffusion field can be used to figure out the nature of one's Personal Reality as well as the behavioural and personality traits of the esper emitting it. Personal Realities can also be abused via an interference made to the AIM diffusion field and can also be modified through this as well. Following this, it would be apt then to say that an esper's AIM Diffusion Field is the conduit that allows an esper's Personal Reality the ability of affecting the real world; the manifestation of esper phenomena. Further more, since an AIM Diffusion field is found to be unique to the esper themselves, it can be assumed that is due to the esper's Personal Reality. Such examples of effects that AIM diffusion fields have upon the esper's surrounding world are the one's emitted by Himegami Aisa as to allow her the ability to attract vampires, the one emitted by Misaka Mikoto that allows her the ability to produce electromagnetic waves that can move nearby wind turbines and the one that acts as a thin field that surrounds Accelerator's body.

Despite all this, AIM diffusion fields can become unstable; when certain forms of interference are made upon an AIM diffusion field, it can lead to a simultaneous outbreak of RSPK Syndrome. Moreover, if an esper becomes so stressed or traumatized to the point of losing control over their Personal Reality (being unable to view reality properly ), that would lead to an RSPK syndrome as well where the AIM diffusion field would affect the esper's surroundings in a similar fashion to that of an earthquake.

Relation to magic
AIM diffusion field is not harmful to magicians, and despite the massive diffusion field that is aggregated in Academy City, magicians are not harmed when they enter the city and are unharmed when they use magic. Moreover, even if they are a hybrid, the presence of AIM will not harm the user. However, if a magician were to use an esper ability or an esper were to use magic, they would suffer grievous injuries due to the fact that magic and esper powers operate through different laws. This is extended if ever an aggregation of AIM diffusion is "brought out" into the world, specifically, the Imaginary Number District, which creates pressure in the area wherein it is located, making any magician overload and injure themselves.
