Magical Power, yes, no idea about divine power (wouldn't that just be telesma?).
Considering the existences of Nephthys and Niang-Niang being older, no.

Don't you mean Item Breaker?
Jesus is referenced by Anna (ch.3 part 7): “But after turning you into a mass of pain and robbing you of your ego to the point you can’t chain your memories together coherently, all that remains is a machine that goes around saving people? I already saw that performance around 2000 years ago.”.
Golden-style cabals: well over 100 such cabals have been officially counted (BT0).
Fusou Ayame in chapter 2 part 8, Israel Regardie is briefly mentioned in BT1.

Why would dragons, a clear creature from the magic side, be an esper ability?
The memelord. the lord of the memes wrote: I simply REFUSE to believe that "Gabriel" is a real angel. I mean, no angel would act the way "Gabriel" does. I'm pretty sure accelerator is a more legitimate angel with his wings that AREN'T tornado tentacles. do angels and god even exist? or were they created by the magic side?
You cannot "refuse" something shown in the work. You can disagree, that's less silly.
Separate your RL feelings from a fictional work using artistic license.
Magic and science just vye for hegemony like any super power. The magic side has been dominant for centuries and feel threatened that a new power is on the rise and encroaching on its old territories.
Nature1996 wrote: If you would like a real world parallel, think about the ongoing conflict between the church (less the catholics branch in the last few year, but still) and science dating back to the middle ages and even before. Not so coindencaly, magic societies are basically the diferent religions in the universe of the story.
Not exactly. Religion and science have a more nuanced history than antagonism.
I thought the revival of this thread would be about the recent reveals by Ogino Kentarou, but no, it's just lame.
Anyway. From Ogino Kentarou on Twitter:

Think you meant manga only there, lol

I vote for putting it in SD10
Does anyone think there might be a connection between sanctifying vocalization and the "spiritual talk" mentioned in OT9? For reference:
OT9 Chapter 3 Part 3 wrote: there’s some spell called a……‘spiritual talk’. It’s a spell which uses the significance of speech to determine its power. There’s an order for the spiritual talk, and there’s a limit to the number of words to be used, like a ballad and a haiku.
I felt a bit angsty last night for some reason so I edited a lot of random stuff and uploaded the black and white images instead of waiting for an answer, sorry. My question was more for the colored illustration and if I should wait for textless versions but if you say it's ol, I will upload them and they will just have to be changed when the textless versions come out.
I also wasn't sure about Haimura's sketches on Twitter and whether I should cut out or keep his comments below in.
I don't really have any subjects in particular, I will probably edit at random depending on the day.

For the mention of Exodus being used to create Angel names: “Well, while the Cabalists were searching out the sacred inner meaning of the Bible; while they proceeded slowly, starting with the ‘In the beginning,’ and stopping at every word, every letter, and found in every word and every letter a mine of secrets, they finally, after the lapse of centuries, came as far as to the 19th verse in the 14th chapter of Exodus, commencing: ‘And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel arose.’ The cabalistical rule which says wherever, in the Bible, an angel is spoken of, there is also the name of an angel hidden among the Hebrew letters of the verse, admonished them to pause and consider. They had at first no idea of the extraordinary discovery they were now on the point of making. But their attention was attracted by the fact that there were seventy-two letters in the verse (in the Hebrew text). Still more surprised were they when they found that even the following verse, the 20th, contained exactly seventy-two letters; and then surprise grew into awe when even the 21st verse showed the same number. In the Bible there is no fortuity: a great secret was hidden here. Finally, by placing the three verses, letter by letter (the middle verse written from left to right, the others conversely), above one another, God’s seventy-two mystical names ‘schemhamphoras’ each consisting of three letters, from the three verses, was discovered. These names, provided with the suffix el or jah, are also the names of the seventy-two quinary angels, of which God has said that his name is in them.” Source: The Magic of the Middle Ages (chapter III: The Magic of the Learned, pg.144-146), by Viktor Rydberg. |
