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.

Toaru Majutsu no Index
In Toaru Majutsu no Index, Magic Gods are referenced numerous times, however no pure Magic Gods appear in-person.

Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index
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. The Fairy spell designed by Ollerus uses Christianity's tendency to reduce pagan gods into fairies to reduce a Majin in a similar way, severely damaging them in the process.

Previously, it was thought that the title was held only by One-Eyed Othinus after supposedly stealing it from Ollerus, however, recent revelations debunked that notion.

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.

There is also the possibility of being an impure Majin, meaning that the magician seeking to become a Majin stopped their growth right when they 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.

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.
