Folklore

Relevant topics on**Magic**

**Folklore** (伝承, *Denshō*?) refers to the set of stories, beliefs and practices within a culture or similar group.

In *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, folklore is used as the basis for certain forms of Magic.

## Principles

The folklore (or lore) of a culture consists of a combination of many things, including legends, music, beliefs, sayings, rituals, customs, fairy tales and more. These can be passed down through several ways, including artifacts and oral tradition.

There are often similarities between certain pieces of folklore between different cultures. These similarities can often be traced to a common origin, however there are some pieces which have an unknown origin, somewhere between the cultures it has spread through. These pieces of folklore are referred to as having 'fallen into the cracks'.

Folklore is often conflated with mythology (and vice versa). The two share certain similarities and differences, though the exact boundary between them isn't entirely clear.

Urban Legends are a form of modern day folklore.

### Phantasmal Beasts

**Phantasmal Beasts** (幻獣, *Genjū*?) is the common term used to refer to all non-human creatures that are found in legends and fantasy. They are those existences that deviate from their original form by the impact of factors alien to their ecology, those existences born from the thoughts of humans and those existences that ascend to a higher order as a consequence of longevity. Then, if it is believed that the subject of a mystery "exists," the World permits its existence and definite affirmation of said belief is not required. There are also existences desired by the World, but not by humans, and because of this they have gradually gone into hiding and dwindled in numbers.

## Uses of Folklore in Toaru Majutsu no Index

Below is a list of folklore which are used in some shape or form within *Toaru Majutsu no Index* (mythologies and urban legends are generally covered on their relevant articles).
DRAGON Arc

### Anime

The **DRAGON Arc** is the seventeenth story arc of the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* series. The arc occurs in parallel to the events in the British Royal Family Arc, focusing on the happenings in Academy City's dark side. It continues on from the aftermath of the Battle Royale Arc, as Accelerator and GROUP try to track down the mysterious DRAGON, while Hamazura Shiage finds himself dodging assassins, ultimately finding himself in another confrontation with Mugino Shizuri.

The end of this arc, as well as the previous one, would immediately segue into the final arc of the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* light novels. In this arc, Last Order falls ill after the manifestation of Aiwass, the latter pointing Accelerator towards Russia if he wishes to cure her,while Hamazura escapes Academy City with Takitsubo Rikou by hijacking a supersonic passenger plane, eventually diving out above Russia, near the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations.
Gekota

**Gekota** (ゲコ太, *Gekota*?, Yen Press: **Croaker**) is a popular mascot found in merchandise marketed to children in the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* universe. A Gekota fan is called a **Gekoer** (ゲコラー, *Gekora*?). Misaka Mikoto is a huge fan of the franchise it belongs to, and much to her consternation gets her labeled as someone who is childish.

## Principles

Gekota seems to belong to a cast of characters composed of frogs. Several characters have been revealed to exist in the franchise so far.

* **Gekota** (ゲコ太, *Gekota*?) is an old man type of character who is known to suffer from motion sickness easily. Because he has a habit of saying geko-geko (ゲコ, ゲコ), the name stuck and he's been referred to as such ever since.
* **Pyonko** (ピョン子, ***Pyonko***?, Yen Press: **Hoppit**) is a female frog from the same franchise. She wears a bow on her head and is pink in color in contrast to the usual green of the male frogs.
* **Keroyon** (ケロヨン, ***Keroyon***?) is another frog from the same franchise. He lives next to Gekota. His name is revealed in Dengeki no Kantsume (電撃の缶詰, *Dengeki no Kantsume*?) vol.159.
* **Pyonkichi** (ピョン吉, ***Pyonkichi***?) is another frog from the same franchise. He appears in Misaka Mikoto's dream when she used Indian Poker.

Holegres Mirates

**Holegres Mirates** (ホレグレス・ミレーツ, *Horeguresu Mirētsu*?) is an English noble and a member of the Knights of England, introduced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index.*

## Appearance

Holegres is described as a fat middle-aged man with outdated, jewel-covered and all-silk clothing under his armor.

## Personality

Holegres Mirates is a corrupt noble, who seeks to increase his own power, possessions and influence, willing to take advantage of an invasion in order to do so. He takes pride in his nobility, but lacks chivalry and positions himself away from danger. He is a racist who sees outsiders as dead weight to the country, taking up tax money and land, and when given the opportunity, uses them as sacrificial pawns.

## Chronology

### Choronzon Arc

*Main article: Choronzon Arc*
During the invasion of the United Kingdom by the Crowley's Hazards, Holegres Mirates was in charge of London's defenses. He also requested the distribution of the Beheading Coins and after finding information on the Divine Mixtures, ordered their retrieval and deployment. Acting as an intermediary with the royals and claiming to speak on their behalf, he exploited his position and the situation in an effort to advance his own agenda. Hiding at St. James Palace, he was eventually found by Accelerator and after being interrogated on Nelson's Column, he was sent flying into the side of Big Ben.

### Kamijou Arc

*Main article: Kamijou Arc*
Holegres was present at Windsor Castle during the party celebrating Choronzon's defeat and was subsequently involved in the conflict which arose due to the emergence of the other Touma.

## Abilities

Holegres's abilities are not known, though his armor is capable of withstanding a number of restrained hits from Accelerator, who deemed it as better than an Academy City Powered Suit in that regard and enough for him to launch the wearer over a kilometer without concern about killing him.
Hopping Zombie Spell

The **Hopping Zombie Spell** (跳尸術, *Chōshījutsu*?) is a magic spell that manipulates the dead, and is grouped alongside Necromancy, Hand of Glory, and Vetala Sorcery.

## Etymology

The name of the Hopping Zombie Spell is a reference to Jiāng shī, except where the character for stiff (僵), is replaced with the character for jump (跳). In Chinese legends and folklore, the Jjiāng shī is a type of reanimated corpse. According to legend, in the day, the Jjiāng shī rests in a coffin or hides in dark places such as caves. At night, it moves around by hopping, with its arms outstretched. It kills living creatures to absorb their life essence.

## Principles

Not much is known about the spell, other than it is a spell which manipulates the dead, and originates from Taoism. It can be assumed that the spell is used to turn a corpse into Jiāng shī.

## Background

The 4th generation head of the Rosenthal Family, Isaac, came across the Hopping Zombie spell in the East and combined it with his family's Necromancy, forming what would become the Rosenthal style.

## Chronology

### Kazakiri Hyouka Arc

*Main article: Kazakiri Hyouka Arc*

Leaders| * Kihara Seisuu

**CERBERUS** (ケルベロス, *Keruberosu*?) is an Academy City-based organization led by Kihara Seisuu. It is a powerful organization which manufactures Realizers in order to combat espers or magicians.

## Etymology

The Cerberus is a monster from Greek Mythology. It is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and was usually described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from his body.

## Principles

CERBERUS is a techological organization which is one of the most dominant factions in the Dark Side of Academy City. CERBERUS' dominance over the black market could be attributed to the fact that the jobs performed by them were always backed by Academy City's Board of Directors.

## Chronology

### Light Novels

The **Ichihanaran Festival Arc** is the fifth story arc of *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index.* The events of the arc begins the day before the Ichihanaransai, continuing throughout the festival the day after, in mid-November.

It deals with the conflict surrounding GREMLIN, led by Othinus, and a group of incredibly powerful magicians, led by Ollerus, centered around the mysterious being named Fräulein Kreutune who resides in the Windowless Building, the final ingredient in Othinus' plan in creating Gungnir and forever distorting the world. Moreover, it also deals with the reaction of Academy City, and the conflict that arises after Kakine Teitoku returns and joins the foray.

## Background

### Fräulein Kreutune

*Main article: Fräulein Kreutune*
Fräulein Kreutune is a mysterious being that has not been "dyed," as Thor put it, by the colors of magic or of science. She is apparently immortal, having existed for hundreds of years, and is apparently invulnerable to conventional methods of damage, as she has survived every attempt on her life that the witch hunts and inquisitions of the Middle Ages have dealt upon her. She is a being whose very existence revolves around "learning", and that after acquiring enough information, she will transform, which reverses the position of predator and prey, and become a threat to Aleister Crowley's plans. As such, her existence is that of her being infinitely curious in order to absorb information. She is imprisoned inside the Windowless Building, with its impenetrable Calculate Fortress, in total silence and darkness as a means to prevent her from being curious.

### Aftermath of the suppression of Baggage City

After the suppression and surrender of Baggage City, Kamijou Touma is somehow returned to Academy City, most likely through the efforts of Ollerus and Fiamma of the Right, while he was still unconscious after being defeated by Othinus. Meanwhile, Kumokawa Maria somehow arrives in Academy City as well.

Meanwhile, the general populace of Academy City is presumed to have some knowledge regarding the events of Baggage City. Kihara Yuiitsu also returns to Academy City after making a deal with one of the leaders of Natural Selector, ending the conflict in Baggage City.
Glamorous Devil

The **Glamorous Devil** (グラマラスデビル, *Guramarasudebiru*?) is the name used to refer to a supercomputer kept in Florida.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Hawaii Invasion Arc

*Main article: Hawaii Invasion Arc*
The Glamorous Devil is mentioned for the first time by President Roberto Katze in a press conference in Oahu, Hawaii. Here, he refers to it as being used to calculate what would happen if one of the Golden Arms that appeared all around the world during World War III were just merely dumped into international waters. The supercomputer calculated that it would change the ocean currents, which would then the harm the ocean's ecosystem. Coincidentally, the waters of Hawaii was the only place where it could be dumped without much harm to the ecosystem, despite the concerns of local fishers and surfers.
Equal Speed

**Equal Speed** (絶対等速（イコールスピード）, *Zettai Tōsoku (Ikōru Supīdo)*?, lit. "Absolute Constant Velocity") is the esper ability that allows the user to make an object move at a constant speed in the direction the user's will, regardless of any force acting upon it, essentially breaking the laws of motion.

The only way for the object to stop is when the user stops it or the object breaks. The object must be whole in order for it to work.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

In a flashback by Shirai Kuroko, she confronts a post office robber with the power in her second year as a member of Judgment, and her first real dangerous job. The esper uses small metal spheres for his ability, making it easy to conceal and allows him to use it several times. Although, his power is slow, which gives Kuroko an advantage as she has teleportation.

The robber can apparently use his ability on an unknown amount of metal spheres, making it dangerous if thrown in large numbers. It is not shown if he can use other objects other than the spheres for his ability.
Horokawa

**Horokawa** (幌河, *Horokawa*?) is a background character introduced in the 7th volume of *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. She is a probably a member of fencing club in a high-class girl's school in the School Garden.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Agitate Halation Arc

*Main article: Agitate Halation Arc*
During the wild goose chase Kamijou Touma is put in the School Garden, the girl is part of a team hunting him down. There information about Touma is apparently widely varying as they are unsure what he looks like, Horokawa even believes he is a monster like a white alligator, after deeming that Touma is underground instead of above them on a rooftop after they tracked his cellphone signal.

Horokawa's senpai suggests to her that what they're doing is not practice and that they should their sabres.

## Quotes

* (To her senpai, from NT 7): *"But if this mysterious being can move freely within the sewer, does that mean he is a monster similar to a white alligator?"*
Handheld Anti-Tank Missile Warhead

**Handheld Anti-Tank Missile Warhead** (携行型対戦車ミサイル弾頭, *Keikō-gata Taisen-sha Misairu Dantō*?) refers to the explosive payload that is used against tanks and can be held in the hand. This article however also encompasses the mechanism of the missile launcher.

## Principles

The device appears as a metal rod about 30 centimeters long with masses of metal about the size of drink can at its end. Appearing like maracas or old stick grenades, the handheld anti-tank missile warhead are used by pulling the short string at the back ends of the rod, similar to have one uses a party cracker. When launched, they travel for about 10 meters and then ignite, capable of traveling 500 meters while scattering flames. Upon hitting something, it then explodes.

In the *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S*, the design of Handheld anti-tank missile warhead is changed into missiles that propel themselves towards a target when thrown into the air.

After learning of Touma's involvement in the situation in London, they flew there on the A.A.A. while the other girls remained on Bali.
Cp-191

The **cp-191** is a hibernation drug, developed for a manned Mars investigation project.

## Principles

Originally developed for a manned Mars investigation project that never got anywhere, cp-191 is powerful enough to put a grown man to sleep for three months. It also allows for the brain's signals to become too flat, preventing anyone from waking up the person who ingests the drug, as well as preventing mind-related espers from poking around the ingester's brain.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Agitate Halation Arc

*Main article: Agitate Halation Arc*
The drug was used by Matsusada after he realized that he might be already affected by Agitate Halation, putting him to sleep, much to the inconvenience of Yomikawa Aiho and Stephanie Gorgeouspalace, who were trying to capture him.
India

India's flag

**India** (インド, *Indo*?), also known as **Republic of India**, is a country located on the southern coast of Asia. It is the seventh largest country by area and the second largest country by population (surpassed by China).

## Background

A number of magic cabals are present in India, making use of Hindu Mythology as the basis for their magic. One of these, Gate of the Gods Come from the Heavens, is known to have carried out an attack on a gym in New Delhi two years before the story's first year.

One of the spiritual items used by Necessarius to control its marine prisons around the world is located in southern India. As part of the agreement to use a ruin left behind by the East India Company for the Cape of Good Hope, 30% of the satellites made in the United Kingdom are launched from Indian launch pads. The European Union also makes use of Indian launch pads a fair bit.
Hildisvíni

**Hildisvíni** (ヒルディスヴィーニ, *Hirudisuvuīni*?) is a boar in Norse mythology that is said to be used by Freyja for riding.

## Appearance

The creature appears a boar made up of dark red thread. Initially, it was smaller than the giants that Freyja summoned, which was tall enough to hit the tunnel ceiling. This however changed after Freyja ordered the boar to eat them, allowing it to grow very large.

## Principles

Like all of the summons of Freyja, she uses a jewel that she throws and then says a chant. The chant required to summon Hildisvíni is *"Cost 1. White. Call / / Hildisvíni."*

Of all the summons that Freyja has only Hildisvíni has been actually shown to eat the other summons under Freyja's command. This trait of eating other summons is shared with Níðhöggr Vol. 02 but it was only mentioned though the effects were still seen. Upon eating a summon, Freyja will say another chant like *"Cost 1. White. Shift / / Hildisvíni!"*, with the cost incrementing for each summon eaten. For each summon it eats, it will add to its growth. The reason for this is that as Norse mythology is a mythology of mutual destruction, it has been set up from the beginning so that over 99% of the gods and their enemies would die fighting each other. With that as a basis, she constructed a spell that accentuates that fact, and create an attack that allows good and evil, white and black to devour each other. This may be the reason why it only eats "Black" summons, specifically the giant summons called Þrymr.

Like all of Freyja's summons, they are immune to pain, but can still be destroyed. Gravity and the laws of physics still affect the creatures, as such they can lose balance when a part of them is destroyed, or can crush metal if they are large enough.
Gokusai Amazora

**Gokusai Amazora** (獄彩雨空, *Gokusai Amazora*?) is a character introduced in the sidestory *Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Biohacker*. She is a teenage girl and the third of the three Gokusai sisters.

## Etymology

Amazora's surname Gokusai may be translated from Japanese as "painted prison". The three Gokusai sisters share a pattern where each sister has a first name with a nature-based character, or a character for one of the three main armed forces; in Amazora's case, it is the character 空 (*sora*, also read as *kū*) for "sky" (空軍 *kūgun* means "air force").

## Appearance

More often than not, Amazora is described in the Biohacker SS as a girl 'under 130cm with obviously bleached hair' and who 'wears clothes that makes herself look like she's older than she actually is'.

## Personality

As the youngest among her sisters, Amazora is very childish and bratty, often depending on Gokusai Rikuri to spoil her. She also regularly complains and throw tantrums when things don't go her way. However, this doesn't detract from her ruthlessness as an assassin from the Dark Side of Academy City.

## Background

While not much is known about her past, like her older sisters, Amazora works as an assassin for Academy City's darkness.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Biohacker

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Biohacker*
## Abilities

Gokusai Amazora's esper power and level are both unknown, but she is able to wield her heavy weapon with one hand and carry its ammo with her off-hand despite both things weighing over 50kg thanks to her unnamed esper ability. Her power creates an invisible support beneath an object that allows the object's weight to escape into the ground, so Amazora can move, aim and shoot what should be a stationary fixed weapon using just one hand. However, although it is invisible, the support still has a physical presence, which might cause issues depending on Amazora's surroundings. For example, when she tried swinging the drum magazine as a morning star-like weapon against Touma in close quarters, the invisible support attached to it got caught in some pieces of concrete in the ground, causing the drum magazine to stop unnaturally mid-swing in the middle of the air.
Imagawa Shiguma

**Imagawa Shiguma** (今川志熊, *Imagawa Shiguma*?) is a deceased background character referenced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. He was a low-level thug that broke out of his association with the Spider Queen. He was one of the ten man team that was assigned to kill Tsuchimikado Maika as reprisal for Tsuchimikado Motoharu investigating the Agitate Halation Project.

## Background

He was one of the Spider Queen's intermediaries, but decided to cut ties with him and just take jobs directly on his own. Along with Anjou Haruka and Kuromatsu Takao, he was part of the ten man team that was assigned to kill Tsuchimikado Maika as reprisal for Tsuchimikado Motoharu investigating the Agitate Halation Project. Little did he know that a "destroyer" was slipped into their ranks as the last person in the ten man team, to kill them after they have done their jobs.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Agitate Halation Arc

*Main article: Agitate Halation Arc*
After the supposed death of Tsuchimikado Maika in a fire in her dormitory, the destroyer kills Shiguma and his body is found with gum stuffed down his throat in a back alley of School District 15.
Iðunn

**Iðunn** (イドゥン, *Idun*?) is a background character mentioned in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. They are a member of GREMLIN, the powerful magic faction that shook the world in its foundations.

## Etymology

Iðunn's name is based on Iðunn a goddess from Norse mythology, who is associated with apples and youth, and according to the *Prose Edda* is the one who keeps the gods from growing old.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

##### Lance of Gungnir

Iðunn is mentioned in passing, alongside Sif, by Marian Slingeneyer after Othinus becomes weakened after forcing the Holistic esper created from Kakine Teitoku's Dark Matter to continue its singing for the production of Gungnir. Here, Marian suggests to Othinus the two GREMLIN members, who currently have no duties, to handle her affairs for her for the production of the lance. Othinus however turns Marian's proposition down and goes off to mend herself.

It is unknown where Iðunn is during the course of the massive worldwide operation by GREMLIN and their invasion of Tokyo.

##### VS the World

Iðunn is mentioned in the conversation between Hel, Jörmungandr and Fenrir at Egeskov Castle with other members of GREMLIN, waiting for Othinus to arrive and take revenge for her abandonment of them, surprising the group, having been part of the rear guard alongside Sif. Iðunn is likely among the pile of scattered bodies when Touma and Othinus arrive at the castle.
HsWAV-15

The **HsWAV-15**, also known as **Ten Legs** (一〇本脚, *Jū-Pon Ashi*?) is an unmanned armored vehicle used by Academy City.

## Principles

The Ten Legs is a problem-control armored vehicle, with tank-like turrets attached to its top. Similar to the Six Wings, it is unmanned. According to Shiosai, the Ten Legs is meant for war.

## Chronology

### Magic God Invasion Arc

*Main article: Magic God Invasion Arc*
During the High Priest's rampage through Academy City in pursuit of Kamijou Touma, a unit comprised of Six Wings and Ten Legs are dispatched to fight against him but are soon decimated.

## Trivia

* Going by the patterns for Academy City's weapon naming schemes, **HsWAV** likely stands for **Hard Science Walking Armored Vehicle**.
Fly in the Heavens

The ***Fly in the Heavens*** (フライ・ザ・ヘヴン, *Furai Za Hevun*?) is a Mobile Fortress owned by England.

## Chronology

### Magic God Othinus Arc

*Main article: Magic God Othinus Arc*
The contingent of Second Princess Carissa was supposed to use it along with *Hotel Ariel* and *Queen Mermaid* for the Anti-GREMLIN Alliance attack in the North Sea Sargasso near Iceland. Apparently, the Knight Leader expressed doubts in it being ready for its deployment for the operation in time.

The Knight Leader later received word that their contingent would not be able to use the mobile fortress for the operation, much to Carissa's dismay.
HsF-00

The **HsF-00** is a giant supersonic fighter plane first deployed by Academy City during World War III.

## Appearance

The HsF-00 is a giant supersonic fighter plane measuring about 80m in length. Because it uses the frame of the HsB-02, it's similar in shape to the stealth bomber.

## Principles

### Technology

The HsF-00 is a supersonic fighter plane that can fly at a top speed of over 7,000 km/h and can perform highly unconventional flight maneuvers such as flying sideways or spinning like a top. As these maneuvers are very dangerous to the pilot because of the inertial Gs, they are frozen at -70 degrees Celsius and their vital organs are connected to machines to preserve life. The computation abilities of the pilots are also enhanced by machines (similar to Accelerator) to compensate for the extreme temperatures. Some of the methods used to gather the information from the pilot's brain in this control method are the distribution of blood in the brain, the amount of chemicals secreted, the flow of electronic signals and the monitoring of the active regions of the brain with sonar.

The HsF-00 uses the frictional heat on the armor surface as energy. In other words, it gets more efficient the faster it goes. That can reduce its consumption of fuel by up to 90%. It can also be resupplied in the middle of a high-speed flight by smaller Academy City aircraft used as special mid-air refueling craft.

### Weapons

The HsF-00 is armed with machine guns capable of tearing through Russia's fighter planes, air-to-air missiles capable of taking much sharper turns than the Russian ones while chasing their targets and about 10 lasers. The lasers can be deployed from the main aircraft as some kind of independent kite connected to the HsF-00 through a thin wire to shoot the enemy from multiple directions at once. It can also use white-phosphorus based bombs.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### World War III Arc

*Main article: World War III Arc*
During World War III, Academy City used 10 HsF-00s and several smaller mid-air refueling craft to maintain air superiority over the Sea of Japan and defeat the Russian fighters sent to attack them.
Forgotten God

The **Forgotten God** (忘れられた神, *Wasurerareta Kami*?) is a Magic God and a member of the true Gremlin.

## Appearance

The Forgotten God's appearance is apparently one which normal humans can't fully comprehend, described from a human's perspective as extremely simplified yet incredibly eerie, like a stick figure drawn by a child in crayon.

## Personality

The Forgotten God's exact personality isn't known, though they are likely to possess some of the personality traits common to the Magic Gods of the true Gremlin.

## Background

The Forgotten God's background is largely unknown, having being forgotten to most. Lovecraft apparently used the Forgotten God as reference material for the Cthulhu Mythos, however fiction and nonfiction mixed together so badly that its original form was completely forgotten. Research into the Forgotten God's historicity was stopped as some people decided there was a connection to Aleister Crowley.

## Chronology

### Magic God Invasion Arc

*Main article: Magic God Invasion Arc*
Though not named, the Forgotten God was among the Magic Gods who encountered and were exiled by Kamisato Kakeru using the World Rejecter.

### Kamisato Rescue Arc

*Main article: Kamisato Rescue Arc*
On December 9th, after Kamisato Kakeru himself fell victim to the World Rejecter's power, the Forgotten God was among the Magic Gods who beat him up shortly after his arrival in the 'new world', though they didn't kill him. At that point, they and the rest of Gremlin were content to stay in the isolated world, but were keen for the new arrival to leave as soon as possible. A destructive struggle between Gremlin occurred when Nephthys and Niang-Niang decided to protect the boy against the Forgotten God and the Magic Gods who sought to continue the punishment.

## Abilities

Being a Magic God, the Forgotten God has near-unlimited magical power. They can bend, break, and even create natural laws, distort the fabric of reality on a cosmic scale, perform unbelievable miracles, and create things without limit. They are powerful enough to risk destroying the world with their mere presence unless precautionary measures are taken. Even when weakened by Aleister's spell, they are still capable of destroying the world. Due to the mixture of fiction and non-fiction, the Forgotten God's original form has been lost to time. As such, normal humans like Kamisato Kakeru cannot comprehend his form or his attacks no matter how much they look at it/them, though other Magic Gods don't have this problem. The abilities that they have displayed are incomprehensible to human perception, similar to their appearance.
Hammer that Tempers Gold within the Earth

**Hammer that Tempers Gold within the Earth** (地の中で黄金を鍛える槌, *Chi no Naka de Ougon wo Kitaeru Tsuchi*?) was a Norse Magic Cabal, one of five who united to attack Brunhild Eiktobel's cabal and were subsequently destroyed by her in revenge.

## Background

Five years ago, the Hammer that Tempers Gold within the Earth, together with Those Who Prevent the Extermination of the World Tree, the Iron Stake that Carves Knowledge, Champions from the Sea and Those who Know the Rune of the God’s Sword, attacked Brunhild Eiktobel's cabal out of fear that her nature as a Saint and Valkyrie would cause pure Norse-style magic to go into decline.

After destroying Brunhild's cabal, the cabals continually pursued her. They attacked other smaller Norse cabals so they would feel threatened and not attempt to support her, and killed children with no connection to magic just for speaking to her as she lay collapsed by the roadside. They also dug up the graves she'd made for the children that were killed by their attack and fed the bodies to wolves.

The cabals eventually captured Brunhild during a period when her Valkyrie and Saint sides were equal and she was reduced to the level of a normal person. Though they loathed her, they didn't kill her as they wanted to obtain certain spells which she had gathered which ordinary people couldn't use. Instead they tortured her, not just for information but also for their feeling of joy from it. They also had a boy, Ceillier Flatley, become Brunhild's emotional support to make the torture more effective, however as the boy became closer to her, he grew guilty and confessed his role to Brunhild. Sometime later, a cabal member came to Brunhild and grinning, informed her that Ceillier had killed himself, presenting a letter with his last apology. Enraged, Brunhild broke her restraints and escaped.

Grand Magic

**Grand Magic** (大魔術（だいまじゅつ）, **Dai Majutsu**?) is a term used to refer to certain spells that take effect on a world wide scale in *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, such as the distorting effect of Angel Fall.

## Background

The term grand magic was used to refer to Angel Fall alone, up until Tsuchimikado Motoharu's explanation to Kamijou Touma regarding the use of Feng Shui by Kamijou Touya to arrange the souvenirs and charms in his home to create a magic circle. Here, Motoharu states the danger of moving or touching the souvenirs as would create an entirely new magic circle, therefore a new spell.

## List of known Grand Magic

Motoharu lists examples, and all refer to them in as Grand Magic:

* **Earth Shaker** (極大地震（アースシェイカー）, *Kyokudai Jishin (Āsu Sheikā)*?, lit. "Maximum Earthquake")
* **Phantom Hound** (異界反転（ファントムハウンド）, *Ikai Hanten (Fantomu Haundo)*?, lit. "Underworld Reversal")
* **Cocytus Replica** (永久凍土（コキュートスレプリカ）, *Eikyūtōdo (Kokyūtosu Repurika)*?, lit. "Permafrost")

Gamle Lillebæltsbro

**Gamle Lillebæltsbro**, also known as the *Old Little Belt Bridge*, is a notable landmark of Denmark. It is a giant bridge that leads to the island of Funen where the Egeskov Castle is located. It is also where Kamijou Touma and Othinus were confronted by Leivinia Birdway and Index Librorum Prohibitorum while they are on their way to retrieve Othinus's eye.

## Background

It is a giant bridge that connects the city of Fredericia to the island of Funen. It has both a road and a railway. The bridge is built with steel frame and concrete which looks out of place in a city of stone pavement and brick which is Fredericia. It is perfectly straight like a runway and continues for more than a kilometer.

## Chronology

#### VS The World

After crashing a stolen American tank that was used by the Danish military for Operation Norse Wind near the city of Fredericia, Touma and Othinus find no check points in the city. Not wanting to lose this chance, they quickly make their way to the bridge to cross. There they find Index and Leivinia waiting for them who reveal that they used the knowledge of Index's library to surmise what happened in Sargasso and the resulting phase shifts. They then show the result of their combined knowledge and power by replicating Gungnir to fight the pair.

Christmas

**Christmas** (クリスマス, *Kurisumasu*?) is an annual holiday, primarily observed on December 25th. It is a Christian celebration, commemorating the birth of the Son of God, but the festival is also celebrated by many others across the world.

## Etymology

The English word "Christmas" is a shortened form of "Christ's Mass". The word is recorded as *Crīstesmæsse* in 1038 and *Cristes-messe* in 1131. *Crīst* (genitive *Crīstes*) is from Greek *Khrīstos* (Χριστός), a translation of Hebrew *Māšîaḥ* (מָשִׁיחַ), "Messiah", meaning "anointed"; and *mæsse* is from Latin *missa*, the celebration of the Eucharist.

The form *Christenmas* was also used during some periods, but is now considered archaic and dialectal. The term derives from Middle English *Cristenmasse*, meaning "Christian mass". *Xmas* is an abbreviation of *Christmas* found particularly in print, based on the initial letter chi (Χ) in Greek *Khrīstos* (Χριστός) ("Christ"), although some style guides discourage its use. This abbreviation has precedent in Middle English *Χρ̄es masse* (where "Χρ̄" is an abbreviation for Χριστός).

## Principles

The early Christian community distinguished between the identification of the date of Jesus’ birth and the liturgical celebration of that event. The actual observance of the day of Jesus’ birth was long in coming. In particular, during the first two centuries of Christianity there was strong opposition to recognizing birthdays of martyrs or, for that matter, of Jesus. Numerous Church Fathers offered sarcastic comments about the pagan custom of celebrating birthdays when, in fact, saints and martyrs should be honoured on the days of their martyrdom—their true “birthdays,” from the church’s perspective.

### Santa Claus

**Santa Claus** (サンタクロース, *Santakurōsu*?) is a figure commonly associated with the modern-day Christmas. He is said to be a jolly old man in a red suit who secretly delivers presents for good children while they are sleeping on Christmas Eve, riding through the skies on a sleigh drawn by reindeer. The character of Santa Claus is derived from several figures, including St. Nicholas.

According to Leivinia Birdway, there is an organization known as the **Nicholas Foundation** (ニコラウス財団, *Nikorausu Zaidan*?), presumably a secret Magic Side organization related to Santa Claus, which she briefly mentioned when she mistook the child Fremea Seivelun's comment that she knows Santa Claus exists as a deliberate reference to the organization. It is unknown whether the organization has an actual Santa Claus as Leivinia Birdway's reaction implies that the character Santa Claus exists. No other mention of the organization has been made since.

Helmeted Woman

The **Helmeted Woman** (ヘルメットの女, *Herumetto no On'na*?) is an unnamed woman associated with the Dark Side of Academy City.

## Appearance

During her appearance in Russia, she wore a full face helmet and an elegant suit tinged with a chocolate color.

## Personality

The personality that she has displayed is similar to that of the ITEM Liaison, seeing how she technically serves as the liaison's physical proxy.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### World War III Arc

*Main article: World War III Arc*
She appears near the end of World War III before Mugino Shizuri, Hamazura Shiage, and Takitsubo Rikou, with ten armed men ready to take them back by force and eliminating Hamazura. She appears wearing a helmet, obscuring her face and identity, but mentions likely following the same chain-of-command as ITEM had, saying the liaison's catchphrase in confirmation. She also reveals the potential of Takitsubo's power that might become a Level 5 with her earlier demonstration, as well as the existence of the Parameter List.

She and her team are stopped by the arrival of Digurv, Glickin, and others from the village who came to their aid and caught the Academy City force from behind. Hamazura then decides to interrogate her on information on the Parameter List as a means of negotiating with the higher-ups of Academy City.
Divine Protection of Ægidius

**Divine Protection of Ægidius** (アエギディウスの加護, *Aegidiusu no Kago*?) is a building level type of barrier spell named after Saint Ægidius, also known as Saint Giles.

## Principles

Used by the Roman Catholic Church, it can apparently be implemented by a simple talisman, which can wrap a large area or building, like a church, in it's barrier. It's effects are currently unknown, but it requires a group of people to remove.

Of course, as it is a power related to Christianity, it is not immune to the power of the Imagine Breaker.

Hidden World

The **Hidden World** (隠世（かくりよ）, *Kakuriyo*?) is a phase of the world, where magic gods other than Othinus resided. It was later breached by Aleister Crowley in order to challenge the magic gods.

## Etymology

*Kakuriyo* (隠世, **Kakuriyo**?) is a Shinto term that refers to the world of the gods and spirits, and is also interpreted as the world after death. In contrast *utsushiyo* means visible or open world, the world of humans.

## Principles

In this phase, the concepts of distance and time don't matter, and direction and depth are also indistinguishable. When Niang-Niang appeared before Nephthys and the High Priest, she tells that she was a "hair's breadth and an infinite distance away", implying that the phase is not a fixed space and that time doesn't pass in the phase. Indeed, the magic gods rely on "destiny's hand" to allow them to meet each other.

The phase is described as "dark" or a "black world", but it is referenced that it may not be wholly accurate to describe it as both being dark or being a place. All in all it is similar to the Black World, and the difference between them being that the Hidden World is a phase where the Magic Gods of the true Gremlin reside and that even Othinus could not detect its presence, let alone destroy it.

A special property of this phase is that it prevents the magic gods from escaping, though it is implied that they are there willingly in order to not influence the world because their sheer existence could destroy it, though they still do complain about being there after the events of Othinus' remaking of the world and its aftermath.

After Aleister Crowley breached the phase and entered it, the Hidden World was apparently "destroyed" or "lost", which implies that this phase had lost its purpose in separating the magic gods from the rest of the existing world. High Priest, Nephthys, and Niang-Niang were the first known magic gods to have entered the existing world after losing their Hidden World, consequently having to weaken themselves to prevent them from destroying the world for merely existing.

Gemstone Girl

**Gemstone Girl** (原石の少女, *Genseki no Shōjo*?) is a minor character introduced in *Toaru Majutsu no Index*. Debuting in *Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume SS2*, she is an unnamed Gemstone with a power that has not been detailed.

## Appearance

She has long blond hair and blue eyes, but her most distinctive feature are: the fact that she walks around with a suitcase handcuffed to her right hand, her young looks which imply that she should be around her late teens and that she wears a one piece dress that has been described as "covering so little, that isn't much of a clothing". It should be noted that she is unusually beautiful for someone of her age, gifted with a gorgeous face and a feminine body line.

## Personality

The girl is taciturn, and apparently only speaks when necessary. She bears no ill-will and becomes concerned if she hurts people or accidentally gets people involved in her affairs.

## Background

She meets Kamijou Touya in a train station, apparently believing that she was lost. He later calls out to her in belief of this, though what happens next is not known. Regardless, Touya gave a strong impression of the girl. She seems to have become slightly attached to Kamijou Touya, not only did she follow him from her own initiative, but in the cover of the light novel volume she is seen holding his suit while he was getting away.

She later has her handcuffed to an attaché case for reasons unknown.
