Railgun T, Featured Article Possibilities (2020)
Subjects (preferably connected to Daihaseisai/Dream Ranker Arcs):
 * Liberal Arts City: If events not animated/featured then idea to show Saten/Xochitl's connection, currently undeveloped
 * Russian Shopping Center: Similar to above (even less likely to be animated), but not as connected. Currently undeveloped.
 * Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS: Liberal Arts City: Similar reasoning to Liberal Arts City, chapter sub-pages still in development
 * Clone Dolly: Too early for featuring, perhaps later on once that part is covered. Similar case for Exterior. Both undeveloped.
 * Shokuhou Misaki's Clique: Currently a skeleton, might not give too much away if at TSP level however reaches into NT territory
 * Daihaseisai: Suitable as the setting for the first arc, needs overhaul
 * Note: Herald voiced support for this one in joint discussion thread. Ollerus and OH&S have also voiced support.
 * Selected for Railgun T Premiere Featured Article, overhaul work in SD58
 * Scavenger: Too early for featuring, perhaps later on when doing Dream Ranker Arc
 * Tokiwadai Middle School: In need of a considerable overhaul
 * Kumokawa Seria: Support cameo but might spoil a few other things
 * Baba Yoshio: Too early during premiere?
 * Xochitl
 * Return of the Winged One

Magic, Location: Church of Orsola
<!-- The Church of Orsola (オルソラ教会) is a church that was under construction in Japan somewhere near Academy City. The Roman Catholic Church named it after Orsola Aquinas for her contributions of traveling to three "pagan" countries to preach Christianity.

Appearance
The building was planned to be the largest church in Japan at a, holding 250 or more people even during its construction. It is composed of seven chapels, each intended to be used to carry out one of the Seven Sacraments. The size of the respective chapels varies as their construction and the funds expended on each differed depending on each chapel's individual importance and how often they are used. The two largest are the Marriage Chapel and the Fuyou Chapel, the latter being the second largest which is used for funerals. Other chapels are the Holy Order Chapel and the Confirmation Chapel, which although important religiously are smaller as they cannot make money, and the Baptism Chapel. Due to the church also being a tourist attraction the Roman Catholic Church set up a website for it that is even compatible with mobile phones.

The church is apparently small enough to be accommodated by a single talisman of the Divine Protection of Ægidius.

Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc
After Agnese Sanctis and her forces recovered Orsola Aquinas at Parallel Sweets Park they retreated to the Church of Orsola. They placed a barrier around the partially constructed Church and gathered inside. Inside of the Marriage Chapel of the Church they gathered and they tortured Orsola until Kamijou Touma arrived. Shortly thereafter Stiyl Magnus, Index, and the Amakusa Christians also arrived and the battle between them and Agnese forces began inside the Church.

Shortly after the battle began, Touma ran out from the Marriage Chapel and eventually reached the Holy Order Chapel which is located behind the Marriage Chapel and climbed to its second level using one of the construction ladders. His pursuers then fired magic from their weapons to collapse the unstable platform he was standing on instead of risking climbing up after him. Before it completely collapsed, he managed to jump up to the roof as it tipped it slanted upward, allowing him to climb higher. He then fought several nuns on the roof while Tatemiya Saiji, Index, and Stiyl Magnus were fighting near the atrium between the Marriage Chapel and the Baptism Chapel. After the tide turns against them they along with Touma rush and lock themselves in the Fuyou Chapel.

After the nuns break into the Fuyou Chapel, Touma and the others escape and split up. Touma then goes to the Marriage Chapel to confront Agnese. After fighting for a bit Agnese seems to have the upper hand before they notice that everything in the Church was quiet. The others arrive and reveal that they were setting up runes for Stiyl with the help of the Amakusa for he could use Innocentius. With the help of the Amakusa they set up 4,300 rune cards to form a large picture turning the entire Church of Orsola into a giant magic circle. Once Innocentius was summoned the battlefield located at the church became quiet with the remaining nuns not daring to attack with Innocentius there. The fighting was concluded with Touma defeating Agnese in the Marriage Chapel. -->

Possibility, Magic: Wheel Snake
Pre-Trim:

The Featured Article this time concerns the "Wheel Snake", a large spiritual item and magical weapon which appeared in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS2.

Created by Caliche I. Niknosh's magic cabal, users of Ex Voto, it is powered by Telesma aligned with Archangel Michael, who is considered both an angel and a patron saint, and based on the chain used to bind fallen angel Lucifer after his defeat at Michael's hands. It is made up of giant 3-15 meter wheels, made of a white marble-like stone and reinforced on its edges with a gold-colored metal, connecting like gears into a shape resembling a giant snake over 70 meters long. It destroys its surroundings with its size and weight, and draws the debris into the space between the gears to further crush it.

Originally intended as an insurance against the higher-ups of the Russian Shopping Center not keeping their end of their bargain during their co-operation, it was deployed after the cabal's members came into conflict with members of New Light in the later stages of the events surrounding Misaka Mikoto's visit to the shopping center.

Multiple Draft Versions Type-Up

Unsorted:
 * Albert Dying (Opening, Paragraph 1/2)
 * Alias - Tu, Attire - Cassock/sculpture, plot - Sickle of Saturn, switch out/discard, dreamer, compass, manipulator
 * Stiyl Magnus - Believed to have killed
 * Plot - Sickle of Saturn in the Vatican
 * Shares Guild's intent/wish to remain on victor's side
 * Greece to Roman to Christianity, move on

Opening:
 * Albert Dying, the leader of a magician's guild from the time of ancient Greece, known as "the Guild", and the antagonist behind the events of the Agnese SS.
 * AD, the leader of an ancient magician's guild, commonly known as "the Guild"

Plot:
 * Sharing the Guild's desire to remain on the winning side and continue to 'win', Albert considered that the time had come for the Guild to move on, as it had done with the changing times in the past, from Greek to Roman to Christian.
 * Albert shared the Guild's desire to remain on the winning side and continue to 'win', discarding and adapting to blend in with the 'winners' of the time.
 * ...the Guild having survived through Greek, Roman and Christian times by blending in with the leaders of the time, freely discarding and swapping out their X.
 * Considering that Christianity's time was over and that it was time (for the Guild) to move on, Albert planned to (facilitate) destroy the Vatican, a heart of Christian society, with the Sickle of Saturn, but a deception (about a fake) led to his presumed death at Stiyl Magnus's hands.
 * Albert plotted to facilitate the change by instigating incidents around the world and destroying the Vatican with the Sickle of Saturn. However, a deception regarding the sickle's authenticity led to an initial death and his presumed death at Stiyl Magnus's hands.

Paragraph 1:
 * Alias - Tu, Attire - Cassock/sculpture, plot - Sickle of Saturn, switch out/discard, dreamer, compass, manipulator
 * Described as a dreamer, Albert is focused on achieving his own dreams, with no compunction for the negative consequences that might befall others in the process. Projecting a casual and pleasant air of supposed detachment and enlightenment, he would manipulate people to support those dreams, convincing them it would bring them happiness, but ultimately at their expense.
