Inquisitioner

An Inquisitioner (異端審問官(インクジショナー)) is a position that can be found in the dominant churches of the Toaru Majutsu no Index. Their primary tasks is to "fight against heretics."

History
The history on how Inquistioners came to be is not wholly clear. According to Index, since Great Britain is a magical country, the Anglican Church formed witch hunts, heretic hunts, and inquisitions. In the real world, the inquisition was a group of decentralized institutions within the justice system of the Roman Catholic Church whose aim was to "fight against heretics".

Although, not officially stated, it can be presumed that the Roman Catholic Church in the Toaru Majutsu world also practiced Inquisitions, as they also commit holy trials.

Duties
The duties of the Inquisitioner is to surpress heresy. They also use torture to extract information through the use of tortute. Those who cannot hide their insecurities are hypnotized or forced to drink potions, as so they can interrogate people under a complete mind.

Although, not uniquely magical in nature, apparently, one unique duty of the Inquisitioner is the ability to shut-off the "contamination" of a grimoire inside a person's brain, as they cannot remove the poison that the grimoire have infected the brain even after five years of baptism. Furthermore, they are forced to sew their eyes shut in order for them not to get contaminated.
