Numerology is the study of numerical values in the letters of words, names and ideas, and the belief in mystical relationships between numbers and coinciding events.

In Toaru Majutsu no Index, certain numerological aspects are connected to various forms of Magic.

Principles

This section requires expansion

There are various numerological techniques for calculating the values associated with a particular subject. Two such methods are Gematria and Isopsephy.

When Elizard explained to Kamijou Touma about the Curtana, it was mentioned that Henry VIII made use of the four nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland as part of one large nation in the spell he was constructing, in order to use the 'land' aspect symbolized by the number four.[2]

Coronzon Arc

The final barrier of the England-Londinium Fortress was said to have been intentionally randomized, such that enemies cannot make fixed correspondence tables using Gematria and other similar methods to untangle it.[7]

The Honours of Scotland (three regalia, together with the Stone of Scone) were noted to be another pair of 3 and 4, like the system behind the Curtana.[8] During the events surrounding the Ceremony of Mo Athair, Qliphah Puzzle 545 realized her essence as a guide to the Abyss inherited from her creator, declaring her number to be the true 11, meaning 'the stepping stone of wickedness that supports good deeds'.[9][10]

Uses of Numerology within the story
