Talk:Calculate Fortress/@comment-34962159-20180815044929

I have a theory that the Calculate Fortress isn't based solely on pure scientific technology but also incorporates magic, specifically magic that reverts the energy of an attack to its original state. I originally came up with this after Accelerator's failed attack, which (even if the energy was destroyed, which should be impossible with pure science) should have drawn the attention of the entire world due to a decrease in the planet's rotational energy. Further evidence is that other examples of Aleister's personal technology, such as the A.A.A. and Mina Mathers, also blend science with magic. In this theory, when Thor and Touma attacked the building, Aleister deactivated the magical component to allow them to damage the wall (after all, if he seriously wanted to stop them, he could have done better than send a few Four Wings). On the other hand, Mikoto and Misaki were able to breach the defence despite their attack being weaker because they were in the A.A.A. at the time, which lent its anti-magic properties to their attack (this is also why Aleister was worried about Mikoto stealing the A.A.A.).

The reason none of the magicians who've approached/entered the Windowless Building (Motoharu, Thor, Fran and other magicians in the Kamisato Faction, Index and Othinus if I remember correctly) have noticed the true nature of the defence is because of Aleister's extreme skill at magic. Aleister literally invented the modern understanding of magic and can counter other magicians' use of it (as revealed in NT Volume 20), so this seems feasible for him.
