Anna Sprengel:
 * At some point before Christmas Eve, Anna started overseeing the development of R&C Occultics, an IT company specializing in magic and distributing magical knowledge over the internet,  growing in between the Magic and Science Sides with both not able to properly respond to the new development.
 * Shortly after midnight on the morning of December 24th, Anna had infiltrated Academy City, though she had not addressed her clothing situation. Filming a group of delinquents attempting to rob an ATM, she was spotted by Kamijou Touma as he was visiting the convenience store and then by the delinquents, leading to Touma carrying her while fleeing from the group. The pursuit was eventually ended by Misaka Mikoto who had escaped from Tokiwadai's strict Christmas oversight and spotted the two. As Touma was having to explain himself, Anna deliberately aggravated the situation with a grin on her face.
 * In the evening, after Touma's battle with Neoka Norito, who had used magic acquired from R&C Occultics, Anna approached Touma after he returned to street level, alarming Othinus who recognized who she was. After updating the R&C Occultics site, Anna placed a black pill in her mouth and assumed an adult form before moving in towards Touma. Wishing her amnesiac enemy Merry Christmas in a declaration of war, she kissed him and exposed him to the contents of the black pill in her mouth.

Stage magician-like diversions, disguise:
 * Diversions(3-2,3-3,3-5)

Maidono is experienced in the use of disguises during her missions to conceal her identity and blend into the background. As well as altering her color sample with wigs and contact lenses, she also uses thick makeup applied in a noticeable pattern to be seen through cameras and sensors in addition to the naked eye, so that facial recognition and photo sharing cannot be used to locate her official data. Making use of events with abnormal security routines (e.g. concerts, festivals, parades etc) and plenty of outsiders, she uses conspicuous costumes (such as a miniskirt santa outfit, the sort worn by a part-time worker, on Christmas Eve) which actually help her to blend into the background, allowing her to approach in plain view from the start while being overlooked and preventing people from remembering much by drawing their attention.

She is also experienced in diverting her opponent's attention with conspicuous actions, in a manner compared to that of a stage magician, in order to accomplish her objectives, with multiple bluffs, escape routes and recovery scenarios prepared in case her tricks are seen through.

 * Look too young to be executive in suit?
 * Muscle tone visible even through suit?

Background

 * Rescue Elite
 * Descent
 * Board Director

Kamijou Arc
During the Board's meeting in the wake of Aleister's 'death' and the restoration of Academy City after the shutdown and evacuation, Neoka tried to seize the initiative during their discussion, but was interrupted by the arrival of Accelerator, who introduced himself to them as the new Board Chairman.

Christmas Eve Arc
On December 24th, with Board Chairman Accelerator preparing to eliminate the Dark Side of Academy City with Operation Handcuffs and standing to lose much from it, Neoka had Maidono Hoshimi attempt to kidnap Last Order to use as a hostage.

After Maidono was defeated by Kamijou Touma and captured, as Anti-Skill made its move, Neoka attempted to escape while set off an explosion and fire in his home, intending to fabricate injuries and make himself look like a victim to have Anti-Skill take the blame, using rules as a shield so their investigation would be halted and he could eliminate the incriminating evidence. Touma, together with Index and Misaka Mikoto, interrupted his escape before he could acquire injuries, prompting Neoka to attempt to kill them to eliminate the witnesses.

While Neoka initially held the upper hand through the use of magic acquired from R&C Occultics, which he presented as an application of the 'Minimum Collision Theory', Touma and Index soon realized the truth, and after Touma called on Othinus, they were able to deal with Neoka's attacks. When Othinus deduced the fact that he used to be in a rescue squad, Neoka spoke of his past and why he believed the city's darkness was necessary, but Touma refuted his reasoning. Discarding his magical tools, Neoka turned to his physical abilities in order to defeat Touma. In a cross-counter, Neoka's fist connected while Touma's didn't, but Touma instead flicked the blood in his hand in Neoka's eyes, buying enough time to use his remaining strength to knock Neoka out before collapsing himself.

Abilities, Normal

 * Rescue squad elite, manipulations

Abilities, Magic
Through R&C Occultics, Neoka acquired a method of casting magic, which he believes to be a method of utilizing elementary particles, their collisions and collapse, to simplify the world's composition and manipulate visible phenomena, something he mistakenly calls the Minimum Collision Theory (最小衝突理論). In truth, it is a method of utilizing the association between the seven, the seven , and seven of the ten Sephirah, to reach the twenty-two channels connecting the ten spheres of the Sephiroth, influencing the tree to affect the world.

The technique is described as an adaptation of a sanctifying vocalization (聖化発声), with a familiar and tangible metal being used to envision an invisible Sephirah and embedding the extra sphere in the pathways between the existing spheres of the tree (which Othinus described as being like a woodpecker and an extra 'nest') to alter the rules of the world and produce the desired effect. It utilizes the idea that, based on the fact that the Sephirah are guarded by angels, the creation of a fictional angel could be used to create a fictional sphere. The angelic construction is rehashed from a Golden-style method of forming the names of angels, with the cabal inventing and splitting apart, to efficiently control the colorless and formless angelic power known as Telesma. This in turn is connected to historical usage of the Shutsuejiputoki (出エジプト記), which pre-Golden magicians extracted text from and created temporary angels by adding '-el'/'-yah' to the end of it - a simple way of extracting specific meaning from the full text. In Neoka's case, he adds '-el' onto the end of a German word relating to the effect he wishes to produce to make the angel's name.

Neoka uses this magic via a pair of spiritual items, resembling assassination handguns the size of cards, which could be overlooked while being hidden in the user's palms or sleeves. The guns are double-barreled but instead of steel barrels, they have glass containers reminiscent of vacuum tubes. Enclosed within each of these flasks is a girl with a halo, smaller than an index finger, called a filament (フィラメント) by Neoka. Of similar essence but varying nature,  they can easily be dyed in any color, with their hair, clothing and halo changing in response to the user's voice. The guns can make a sound similar to a clockwork contraption.

When using his spells, Neoka speaks the constructed angelic name as well as a command including the metals and path involved (usually after the name); "Construct a fictional port between (Periodic Symbol) and (Periodic Symbol), aka Path (Number)"  (e.g. for Wasser (Water) with Mercury (Hg), Silver (Ag) and path 20; "Wasserel. Construct a fictional port between Hg and Ag, aka Path 20" (ヴァッサエル. HgとAgの間、すなわち経路20に架空の端子を設けよ)). The hair, clothing and halo of a girl in one of the flasks changes in response to the vocal command before coming apart, being unleashed through the gun muzzle in the form of the desired phenomena.

As pointed out by Othinus, Neoka's unoriginal magic has a number of key weaknesses. With one angel in each barrel, he is limited to a stock of four and he needs to state their names when switching from one to another. An attack seen before can be more easily dealt with and the movement of his mouth can provide warning of a new attack. Neoka is also limited by his lack of knowledge and imagination concerning the technique, only caring that it works and provides him with the power he wants.

 * Magic
 * Acquired magic through R&C Occultics (not a magician but a magic user)
 * Shemha
 * Angel Worship, Exodus, Zachary, GD/Hermetic

Unsorted:
 * 4-3: Lacking in inspiration, no tragedy or magic name, free use of supernatural but recreate weapon easily creatable with machines
 * Angel/Sphere, Puny human brain, hardheaded/boring type of magic - traps infinite imagination in realistic framework of metals/elements
 * As long as power wish, don't care about rest, format not matter - fool, reference to 19th century Hermeticism? Attempt to explain all world's mythologies/religions with single combined theory based on Western ideas, pathetic attempt - force own reasoning onto words/numbers fail to understand, god standing before as independent entity - show Hermeticism can't explain everything, continue using world map hopelessly inaccurate outside of conception of Europe invented by Romans, magic always advancing.
 * 4-3:
 * Simple adaptation of a sanctifying vocalization, familiar/tangible metal used to envision invisible Sephirah, like woodpecker - extra 'nest' embedded in pathways between tree's sphere to alter rules of world. Sephirah/sephiroth guarded by angels, creating a fictional angel create a fictional sphere?
 * Not original, rehashed Golden. GD invented/split apart names of 72 angels (Shemha) to efficiently control colorless/formless angelic power (Telesma). Method comes from verse in OT book Exodus. Magicians before GD extract wanted text from Exodus, create temporary angels by adding '-el/yah' to end. Why hear unfamiliar names in list of 12 angels of zodiac or the archangels - no more than adaptation of this. Angel names simply way of using high-level calculations to extract specific meaning from full text, add slight modification to end of word not going to give full power
 * 4-2
 * Exodus, not sanctifying vocalization, simply adding 'el' onto end of random German words to create random angel each time need one? not care if only way to focus or if occult in works - only care technique works, history proven effective
 * Time when angel worship heating up to point of ignoring the Son, people crudely create angels never seen in Bible, ended by Pope Zachary

 * Accel wish to eliminate dark side, board only checks to see benefit/hurt personally, not care if attempt succeed, only interested in attacking others when wave shakes, little damage welcome, lot of damage oppose, Neoka biggest target - side too much with dark side in pursuit of personal interest, if attempt destroy economic foundation from under, trouble spending money to maintain social standing, rest of Board attack while weakened, 12 too busy attacking other to stop elimination, hard fight for Neoka, think only option if to recover, even if baseless theory and not dumb enough to think work, join forces with outside organization - qualifies as inviting in foreign threat.

 * Only care that gives power, don't care about rest
 * Cautious when encountering unknown element, split/prioritize elimination
 * Fools feel cornered, run to god instead of trying to solve themselves, imagine that type, cheaply-bought power - only give cheap resolution, life lived before - should have found deeper lessons - words tear into core, distinct way fire guns - always aim little high - habit picked up from firing rescue guns launching ropes, used to aim towards someone but not at them - send gas balloon into water near panicked drowning person, grab before run out of strength, aim too high even missed shot leave balloon's rope nearby - grab onto rope when falls or onto balloon when rope reeled back, veneer of politeness stripped away, injure self and feign victim to keep Anti-Skill away, help from doctor but not mean no medical knowledge self, knowledge increase suspicions if done self - want someone else to do so no techniques/idiosyncrasies can be seen
