==Chronology==
===Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test===
During the events surrounding the Amakusas' admission test to Necessarius, Itsuwa drew a Mandala diagram on a table in order to create an illusion that Freadia Strikers' crystal radio component was at the center of it.Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test Chapter 3 Part 5 After rescuing Itsuwa from Freadia, the Amakusa Christians used it on the walls of a drainage tunnel in order to make Freadia think that they have analyzed her crystal and have made up a spell to turn her own curse at her.
Itsuwa would later plan on using this on Emilie Fordia the same night, using a Mandala drawn on blank piece of paper. Itsuwa intended on sending an illusion of Emilie's number locked magic sword to make her lose control of it. The plan fell through after Freadia Striker decided to confront Emilie her own way.
