Kaleidostick

are Mystic Codes created by Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg through the Second Magic.
==Characteristics==
The Kaleidosticks are imbued with artificial Nature Spirits. The owner, restricted to women, can contract with the Spirit through blood, making contact with the Kaleidostick, and providing "energy" from love. Contracting with the stick grants the user a large Magical Energy supply, acting as a Magecraft booster. Through the usage of the self-named , the Kaleidosticks possess the ability to transform its contractor into another version of themselves from among Parallel Worlds, such as one who is good at singing or one who can make a particular kind of food well. This "downloads" the abilities into the user temporarily, overlaying the user with that of the alternate world version. For Ruby, she also picks the personality and outfit of the user as she deems suitable, focusing on her enjoyment from the humiliation of the user.Fate/hollow ataraxia - 10/09 - Streets - Mimic Rin/Tohsaka Lvl 3
The ritual to sign a contract between a Kaleidostick and its user is fairly simple and includes a small amount of user's blood to be given to the Kaleidostick followed by willingly grasping the handle of the stick. As Kaleidosticks themselves choose their masters, the ritual won't work without their consent, just as the contract can only be terminated from their side. Once the contract has been established, sticks will transform their masters into Magical Girls and provide them with unlimited amount of Magical Energy (although at a limited rate) by using Second Magic to connect with alternate realities, similar to how Jeweled Sword works. Transformation and Magical Energy supply will be canceled if the Kaleidostick is separated from its user a distance greater than 50 meters or for a duration longer than 30 seconds.
Magical Girls can use this Magical Energy to perform high-level Magecraft without formal knowledge of Thaumaturgical Theory, such as flying, raising magical and physical shields and enhancing their own physical abilities. It was stated that a Magical Girl's imagination is the only limiting factor in utilizing the Magical Energy provided by the Kaleidostick – Illya was able to fly without much effort because she had an image “Magical Girls can fly” in her mind,Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA - Chapter 4: "Defeated" while Miyu was unable to ignore physical laws, and was only able to fly by imagining a “foothold” and strengthening the air below her feet to form one.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA - Chapter 5: "Rematch, And"
Kaleidosticks have shown remarkable amounts of endurance, as evidenced by being able to withstand a direct sword slash from SaberFate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA - Chapter 6: "There Are Two Choices...?" and a crushing attack from Berserker (although any accompanying Magical Energy had to be blocked by a raised shield, otherwise it would have hit their wielder).
Also, Kaleidosticks were shown to have some additional abilities ("24 secret abilities", as Ruby states) that include a cellphone-mode for communicating with each other (complemented with an ability to establish a video-link and project the feed on a wall) and an ability to make predictions of future based on statistical extrapolation, as well as printing them out.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! - Chapter 2: "Illya x Illya" However, these abilities were used solely for comedic effect.
When Illya uses two Kaleidosticks in order to save Miyu, the two are combined as one and form into Zwei (two, in German).Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! - Chapter 26: "Black Fate"
