Ellis Warrior

**Ellis Warrior** (エリス・ウォリアー, *Erisu Woriā*?) is a posthumous background character referenced in the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* series. He was the first attempt at creating a Magician-Esper hybrid.

## Background

Ellis was an esper 20 years ago before the start of the series, indicating that the Power Curriculum Program and espers already existed at that time. He was chosen by Academy City to be part of the joint institution created by a secret cell within the Anglican Church whose goal was to create a magic and esper hybrid.

A young Sherry Cromwell was assigned to teach Ellis magic, and they became great friends. However, when Ellis tried to use magic, the contradictions between magic and AIM proved fatal for him, bursting his blood vessels and severely injuring him. A moment later, operatives of the Knights of England came and destroyed the institution that Sherry and Ellis were in under the pretext of preventing the leakage of magic teachings and secrets. The higher-ups of the Anglican Church, who found out that the institution was in contact with the science side, didn't want magic to have any contact with science. The knights then bludgeoned Ellis to death with maces as he bought Sherry enough time to escape.

The event forever traumatized Sherry, who would later dedicate her magic name and the name of her golem in memory of him.

City Macabre

**City Macabre** (シティマカーブル, *Shitimakāburu*?) is a character who appears in the original story of *Toaru Majutsu no Index: Imaginary Fest*.

## Etymology

The adjective macabre (derived from the same in French) is used to refer to works of art and other things which have a grim, gruesome or ghastly nature, with macabre works often representing, emphasizing or personifying death and its symbols.

It is notably used in the French *la danse macabre* (also known in English as the Dance of the Dead), an allegorical representation of the ever-present and universal power of death, which features a skeletal personification of Death leading people from all walks of life in a dance to the grave.

## Appearance

City Macabre has red eyes and black hair tied in a long rear braid. Her black attire includes a veil, stockings, and a cut dress, with shoulder decorations resembling skeletal hands and a red cravat.

## Personality

Coin of Nicholas

The **Coin of Nicholas** (ニコラウスの金貨, *Nikorausu no Kinka*?) is a type of wish-granting spiritual item, usable only on Christmas Day, produced and distributed by R&C Occultics.

## Etymology

The coin is named after St. Nicholas, one of the figures from whom the Christmas character of Santa Claus is derived and one of the names used to refer to him, depicted on the front of the coin.

## Principles

Limited to Christmas Day, the Coin of Nicholas can grant a person's wishes. In order to use it, a person must hold the coin in their hand and make a wish, offering up a prayer to the coin. The coin will then cause a designated phenomenon to grant the wish, ignoring probability and statistics to give it a 100% success rate. However, it cannot grant a wish which is impossible to fulfil, might fulfil the wish in a manner other than how the user hoped depending on how it was phrased, and can be negated by a counter-wish from another Coin of Nicholas.

After it is used, it takes one hour for the coin to recharge its power before it can be used again, regardless of the quality or quantity of the action it had performed or whether the wish was successfully granted. The coin's charge is indicate by the amount of light shining from its outer edge, which gradually increases clockwise (on the front of the coin) from the top of the coin as the coin charges. Once the dull outer edge is fully lit again, the coin is fully charged.

Although considered a spiritual item, it draws its power from the ley lines rather than using magical power from the user's body like most spiritual items, making it similar to grimoire. Because of the way it functions, it can be used by espers without them experiencing the usual rejection reaction which they would normally suffer from using magic directly.

## Chronology

### Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Operation Handcuffs Arc

*Main article: Operation Handcuffs Arc*
As per Anna Sprengel's intentions, the coins were randomly distributed to various people in Academy City, who woke on Christmas Day to find a coin in their hand. Shortly afterwards, a user manual was posted on the official site for R&C Occultics and quickly spread across the internet. The coins which were given to members of Anti-Skill and the Dark Side of Academy City greatly distorted the course of Operation Handcuffs, turning it into a full-on massacre.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### First Year Arc

*Main article: First Year Arc*
At 8AM one day in summer, Enjou revealed to her friend that she lost her watch which her father brought for getting accepted to the Tokiwadai. She and her family were cursed by Kazan'in because she didn't say hello to Kazan'in. Enjou was unable to hold her anger and used her esper ability to threaten Kazan'in, though her friend stopped her. Later in that day, she was suspected of being a perpetrator for attacking Kazan'in, given that Kazan'in was attacked by ribbons and she was the only one in Tokiwadai with that kind of power. She denied the allegations, saying she was with a friend at the time.

After Montgolfier was identified as the culprit behind the attacks that instigated and aggravated the clique conflict, Enjou joined the rest of the Hasekura clique, with later reinforcements from the Mikagami and Sha cliques, for a raid on the company's headquarters, and was involved in the subsequent battle with Montgolfier's operatives and their prototype weapons, clashing with an imitation of her power. During the raid, Mibuki saved her from a sudden flame attack by Attachment Dark Matter.

During her art appreciation elective in October, Enjou visited a theatre in School District 9 with a group of Tokiwadai students including members of the Hasekura and Mikagami cliques. Before the performance, Kazan'in belittled her again, with Asato Kisa standing in front of her and trading verbal blows with Kazan'in.

Engineer

**Engineer** (エンジニア, *Enjinia*?) (real name unknown) is a member of Blue Blood.

## Personality

Engineer is apparently dedicated to Blue Blood's goal, being willing to fry a portion of his brain cells as a precaution to support it.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS3

*Main article: Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS3*
When Blue Blood were putting their plan to infect Zero-Day Link into action, he met with Sakibasu Ryouu and gave her a memory stick containing the sole copy of the virus, having already destroyed the computer used to compile the virus so it couldn't be analyzed, before going to fry the portion of their brain cells holding information on the virus so analysis could not be done from that end.

## Abilities

Engineer was responsible for the development of the computer virus which Blue Blood intended to use to infect Zero-Day Link and bring down the computers of the outside world, and also had access to technology capable of frying a portion of a person's brain cells, destroying any information they may have held.
Daedalus Sequenzia

* Anime
* Manga

**Daedalus Sequenzia** (ディダロス・セクウェンツィア, *Didarosu Sekuwentsia*?) is a posthumous character introduced in *Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie: Miracle of Endymion*. Although dead before the start of the events of the movie, he casts a shadow upon his daughter, whose character arc revolves around his death.

## Etymology

Daedalus' name derives from the Greek mythological character of the same name, who constructed two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers so his son Icarus and him could use them to try to fly.

## Personality

As he piloted a crippled spaceplane in the vacuum of space, he showed steadfast determination to save the plane and everyone onboard despite being abandoned by his co-pilot.

## Background

Daedalus was the pilot for the commemorative test flight of the Orion, and had his daughter as a passenger. As they were in space and returning the spaceplane's left engine caught fire, making it for difficult for Daedalus and his co-pilot to control the plane. Despite this, Daedalus refused to give up even after his co-pilot was consumed by despair, and left him alone in the cockpit.

And thus, Shutaura Sequenzia made her "wish" there to have a miracle. According to Aleister Crowley Shutaura Sequenzia's "wish" for a miracle to happen on that plane, the Orion Spaceplane, changed her perception, which coincided with everyone else's wishes to be safe, inducing a distortion powerful enough to interfere with the laws of causality. It is implied that Daedalus' efforts to save the plane are what gave Shutaura's "wish" for a miracle enough time to occur. The latter is backed up by Kamijou Touma's speech to Shutaura, referencing on how it was her father that allowed for the miracle to happen.

Regardless, and as if a toll for the miracle, Daedalus died a bloody death, but the spaceplane made a successful landing on School District 23. His body was most likely taken by the paramedics arriving at the scene, leaving only his hat on the pilot seat, as false reports indicate that all 88 passengers and crew survived. His efforts and his tragic death is later kept secret by Ladylee Tangleroad as the Miracle of 88 has already become a buzzword. But doing so broke Shutaura's heart and made her despise the concept of miracles.

His hat is later given to Shutaura, keeping it with her in her living quarters.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie: Miracle of Endymion

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie: Miracle of Endymion*
Daedalus' death and the conspiracy behind it to keep the illusion that everyone survived in the Orion incident draws a shadow upon Shutaura's character.

In the end of the movie, Touma explains to her that miracles exist because people like Daedalus never gave up, and that she killing Meigo Arisa, the extra passenger of the Orion, would step all over her father's memories. Later, Shutaura manages to recall what had transpired on that fateful day as Daedalus try to back control of the spaceplane and she wishes for a miracle to happen and as compensation to take away the things she cared for.
External Connection Terminal

An **External Connection Terminal** (外部接続ターミナル, *Gaibu Setsuzoku Tāminaru*?) is a terminal which allows connection to the internet outside of Academy City.

## Principles

Academy City runs on its own network and is detached from the normal internet that the rest of the world uses. The external lines that connect to the outside internet all have to pass through an External Connection Terminal to make contact. There are four terminals found in the north (School District 3), south (School District 2), east (School District 12), and west (School District 13) of Academy City. In an emergency they can all be cut off to completely separate Academy City from the outside internet.

## Chronology

### Battle Royale Arc

*Main article: Battle Royale Arc*
BLOCK begins their move on October 9, hacking the Virus Isolation Center and the External Connection Terminals and spread the viruses through them and at the same time hack Hikoboshi II's satellite control center as so they can use the satellite. This simultaneous attacks would then confuse Academy City's network countermeasures team and split the forces that would be sent out to deal with it. BLOCK's main goal with the hacking however was to take down the surveillance system that Hikoboshi II satellite had and deliberately spread false information of using it's large caliber ground-attack laser to attack School District 13.

GROUP was contacted about a cracking attempt being carried out against the Center. Due to an attempted assassination of Oyafune Monaka by SCHOOL earlier in the day, it was assumed they were behind it. Knowing the damage an Academy City virus would wreak when it is leaked the External Connection Terminals begin shutting down in order to prevent their spread. All of the terminals other the one in School District 13 have been cut-off as a result of BLOCK's attack, forcing GROUP to go the district to stop it themselves. While doing so, they later receive a report of the satellite control center for Hikoboshi II, forcing GROUP to split up responsibilities. Accelerator goes to School District 23 to destroy the antenna that is for the satellite, while Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Musujime Awaki continue towards School District 13. Both later succeed in their actions, with Accelerator inadvertently fulfilling BLOCK's desires. Meanwhile, Motoharu and Awaki just decided to blow up the center of the facility, ending the danger of the viruses from the Center from spreading.

## Background

Prior to his introduction, Edward Torke's mind was taken over Saronia, and was manipulated by her that he was supposed to conduct a meeting with a local fishing union in Hotel Firefly-Room 4911 (in reality, some other place), using his propensity for carrying a four inch revolver and jumping into conclusions to her advantage.

Edinburgh

**Edinburgh** (エジンバラ, *Ejinbara*?) is the capital city of Scotland, one of the four countries making up the United Kingdom.

## Background

Edinburgh was founded as a royal burgh by King David I in the early 12th century, though there had been Iron and Bronze Age settlements in the area and a Gododdin hill fort (*Din Eidyn/Etin*) from some point prior to the 7th century to around 950 when it was abandoned to the Scots. By the 14th and 15 centuries, it had come to be considered the principal burgh of Scotland and the kingdom's capital.

During the time of the Golden Dawn, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers planned to establish the cabal's sixth temple, the Amen-Ra Temple, in Scotland, with the chosen site in Edinburgh.

At some point prior to her coup d'état attempt, Carissa had a tomb constructed for herself in Edinburgh as part of the preparations for her plans.

Clone Dolly

*This article refers to the project. For the clone, see Dolly.*

**Clone Dolly** (才人工房（クローンドリー）, *Saijin Kōbō (Kurōn Dorī)*?, lit. "Talented Person Workshop"), also known as the **Clone Dolly Workshop** is one of the purported rumors that the mysterious First Research Organization has. However, it was actually a true project being conducted in Academy City.

Its third laboratory, **Ideal** (内部進化（アイデアル）, *Naibu Shinka (Aidearu)*?, lit. "Internal Evolution"), was meant to raise and train girls to become a Level 5, producing many candidates and eventually producing the 5th-ranked Level 5: Shokuhou Misaki.

## Principles

According to rumor, the Imaginary Number District apparently has a cloning workshop that stores the DNA of great men and Saints from around the world and had analyzed their genetics to the point that they could create as many geniuses as needed at the push of a button.

Although the existence of the First Research Organization has been disproved, due to the fact that Imaginary Number District is not a research facility, it is certainly not out of the question for Academy City to produce clones with a touch of a button, such as the Sisters Project, despite international laws banning human cloning.

The project was originally based in a building in School District 2, however, after discovering Shokuhou Misaki's Mental Out ability, the researchers decided that it would be faster to brainwash great men instead of creating them. As such, the Exterior Project was initiated in the same location.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Daihasei Festival Arc (Railgun)

*Main article: Daihasei Festival Arc (Railgun)*
In a flashback to her past, Shokuhou Misaki the 5th Level 5, recalls on how a scientist speaks on how their goal, the Clone Dolly Workshop, is the crystallization of their wishes, and that it is inextricably tied to the Exterior Project Misaki is in. It is later revealed by Misaki that the Clone Dolly was the predecessor project of the Exterior Project prior to discovering her ability, at which point chose to focus their attention on brainwashing great men instead of creating them.

## Trivia

* The term "Clone Dolly" might have originated from the cloned sheep Dolly, which was known as the first cloned sheep, and as the most famous cloned animal in existence.
Fallen Angel

A **Fallen Angel** (堕天使, *Datenshi*?) is a concept that is typically synonymous with a wicked or rebellious angel. In the world of *Toaru Majutsu no Index,* all fallen angels are automatically referred to as a **Demon** (悪魔, *Akuma*?).

## Principles

Vento of the Front explains that Angels in the magic side have no free will of their own and that they are meant to be God's perfect tools, and are often referred as messengers of God to humanity. However, when an angel malfunctions, they become a Fallen Angel. Tsuchimikado Motoharu explains that angels are like remote-controlled cars of God. If one of the cars couldn't receive the commands because of some failure, or if the command received was wrong, this is when they become demons, known as Fallen Angels.

## Known Fallen Angels

### Lucifer

*Main article: Lucifer*
Perhaps the most famous example of a fallen angel, according to Vento of the Front, is the machine known as Lucifer was dragged into malfunction, causing chaos to one-third of all angels deployed in heaven, which resulted into war. He was later defeated by Archangel Michael.

### Grigori

The **Grigori** (グリゴリ, *Gurigori*?) are a group of fallen angels, led by Satanail. They are referred to in *Toaru Majutsu no Index* as the ones who gave knowledge to humans on how God created Man from clay before the time of Noah. However, Man couldn't understand the Holy language, and the Fallen Angels could not pass their words to them correctly. With this, the life created by Man can only be puppets of mud. Thus, Man gave birth to the golem.

Capacity Down

**Capacity Down** (キャパシティダウン, *Kyapashitidaun*?) is a device that produces a sound that can disrupt an esper's ability. Developed by Therestina, it was purposely leaked to Skill-Out factions such as Big Spider, as a means to gather actual data on its effects against espers.

## Principles

* The speakers used to produce Big Spider's version of Capacity Down.
* Radio tower playing Therestina's Capacity Down.
1/2
There are two versions of Capacity Down, getting more powerful against espers each time another one is introduced, the equipment used to manage the device and produce the sound also gets larger. According to Hebitani Tsuguo, Capacity Down interrupts the brain operation of the espers, which is similar in principle to the Level Upper. The first incarnation of the Capacity Down was used by Big Spider on their attacks against espers. The equipment used to produce the sound was large enough to fit in the back of a van (specifically, the van used by Big Spider). During use, Capacity Down would render Shirai Kuroko incapable of "jumping" or teleporting, and Misaka Mikoto unable to properly handle her electric powers; they would also feel a slight pain in their heads or may even lose consciousness during its activation

Capacity Down would be used again by Therestina, this incarnation is much larger compared to the previous one, and can easily bring a high-level esper such as Mikoto, to her knees. Control of one's ability is limited as well as one's body movement. All versions of Capacity Down however, do not affect a level 0, and would only be heard like a high-pitched sound to them.

In essence, the AIM Jammer has similar effects to the Capacity Down but use different methods, where AIM Jammer uses electromagnetic waves to disrupt AIM diffusion fields, Capacity Down uses soundwaves to disrupt the brain operation of espers.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Big Spider Arc

*Main article: Big Spider Arc*
Capacity Down first makes its appearance in episode 15 of the *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun* anime. It was first seen being used by Big Spider against Kongou Mitsuko, quickly fainting after its use, and later against both Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto. It was destroyed in the episode 16 by Mikoto's Railgun, anticipating that Big Spider would it against them again.

#### Poltergeist Arc

*Main article: Poltergeist Arc*
During Mikoto's first confrontation with Therestina, the latter uses MAR Base Research Laboratory's sound tower against her, crippling her movement severely, and easily besting her. Therestina also reveals to her that she built it, and used Skill-Outs as test subjects for it.

Capacity Down is last used during the final episode of the anime. It severely cripples Mikoto's group before Saten Ruiko, who is a level 0, destroys the control system for it, allowing Mikoto to finish off Therestina.

Excalibur

**Excalibur** (エクスカリバー, *Ekusukaribā*?) is the mythical sword of King Arthur found the Arthurian Legends, commonly attributed with magical powers or associated with the rightful sovereignty of Britain. Several similar swords and other weapons also appear within Arthurian texts, as well as in other legends.

In the world of *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, Excalibur is a powerful spiritual item that is on par with swords like Curtana or Durandal.

## Etymology

The name *Excalibur* came from Old French *Excalibor,* which in turn derived from *Caliburn,* used in Geoffrey of Monmouth (Latin *Caliburnus*). "Caliburnus" meanwhile, seems to be derived from the Latin *chalybs* "steel," which is in turn may be derived from *Chalybes,* the name of an Anatolian ironworking tribe. In Sir Thomas Malory's *Le Morte d'Arthur,* *Excalibur* is said to mean "cut-steel," which some have interpreted to mean "steel-cutter." There are also variant spellings such as *Escalibor* and *Excaliber*.

Excalibur is a typical Western sword with a length of ninety centimeters and a width of twelve centimeters, and it has Fairy Letters inscribed on it to show that it is not the work of mankind.

## Principles

Excalibur is a sword that amplifies magical energy beyond its normal capacity, converting its user's energy into offensive power and releasing it as a destructive wave of energy on the level of divine powers. This ray comes in the form of a whirling rainbow-hued vortex of light which is shot out from the tip of its blade. Despite this function's appearance, only the tip of this energy wave can do damage, as the rest of the light emitted by Excalibur is the dislocation of everything it has destroyed along its path.

Due to its incredible potential for devastation, its real power is restricted by multiple oaths. To an observer, it looks like a giant beam of light, but the attack's target point is only at the tip. It is the "*ultimate slash*" that cuts through everything in the "*area*" the light goes through. Its enormous power heats space around the tip, and as a result, it is interpreted as a wave of light that mows across the surface of the earth like a directed energy weapon. Even if it is dodged, those in close proximity can still be temporarily distracted by its intensity.

## Background

The best known version of the story of the sword depicts the wizard Merlin thrusting the as yet unnamed sword into a huge stone, saying that the throne will be claimed by the one who was able to withdraw it. Young Arthur would later prove to be the one to do it. The second story has Arthur obtaining the sword named as Excalibur at a magical lake, where it is given to him by the mysterious Lady of the Lake. Beginning with Sir Thomas Malory's version of the story, the Sword in the Stone and Excalibur became identified as the same weapon.
Flower Resistance

**Flower Resistance** (食物連鎖の反逆者（フラワーレジスタンス）, *Shokumotsu Rensa no Hangyaku-sha (Furawārejisutansu)*?) is a floral weapon developed in Academy City.

## Principles

The Flower Resistance are carnivorous plants with sharp scythes and sturdy mandibles made of flowers and other flora, resembling orchid mantises. The product of practices such as cloning, genetic manipulation and selective breeding, they move faster and more powerfully than normal animals and devour flesh as a swarm. They are susceptible to electromagnetic waves so they will apparently respond somewhat to a remote.

Extrasensory Perception

Relevant topics on**Science**

**Extrasensory Perception** (超感覚的知覚, *Chōkankakutekichikaku*?) **(ESP)** in the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* universe is one of two criterias that esper powers are grouped into, the other being PK or Psychokinesis.

## Terminology

The English *Toaru* fandom uses the term "esper" (derived from ESP) as the translation for the participants of Academy City's Power Curriculum Program, despite that many esper powers are not classified as ESP type powers.

## Principles

Extrasensory Perception or ESP, is a category of esper powers which refers to abilities that function on the principles of using the mind to receive sensory information through means other than the five known senses of the human body. Esper abilities that enable their user the to receive knowledge of remote or past/future events are commonly classified as ESP type powers (such as Precognition).

As explained by Tsukuyomi Komoe, ESP has a lower precedence in classification of esper powers than PK, especially when an esper power sits on both sides of the boundary between ESP and PK. For example, Thoughtography may seem as though it would be categorized under ESP as a power which allows one to learn of distant and future scenes, however the power which affects the film is a physical one so it is a power which influences an external object, hence it is classified under PK.
First Year Arc

Mikoto and Ruri at the gates of Tokiwadai

## Chronology

The **First Year Arc** (一年生編, *Ichinensei-hen*?) is the ninth and current story arc of the *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun* series, covering chapters 131 onwards.

The story focuses on events in Misaka Mikoto's past, specifically her first year at Tokiwadai Middle School, having just reached Level 5.
Coven Compass

The ***Coven Compass*** (カヴン＝コンパス, *Kavun Konpasu*?) is a Mobile Fortress, operated by Witches affiliated with the Anglican Church.

## Etymology

A coven usually refers to a group or gathering of witches.

## Appearance

The *Coven Compass* is a giant disk of stone 200m in diameter and 10m thick. The top of the disk has sharp lines running in each direction from the center, resembling an actual compass. Dozens of ropes hang down loosely from the underside.

## Principles

The fortress hovers about 20m above the ocean and has several countermeasures to prevent anti-flying spells from bringing it down. There are ropes on the underside of the fortress where witches are seated prior to launch.

On top of the fortress is a device designed to fire a large-scale flash spell which can be used to "fry" invaders. The fortress also possesses the capacity for long-range bombardment, with an estimated 'effective' range of approximately 330km.

The unit of Anglican witches stationed on the Coven Compass share common magic practices:

* **Magic Potion** (魔女の薬, *Majou no Kusuri*?, lit. Witch's Potion): A potion made of different magical plants that can imbue flying abilities to objects like broomsticks by covering them in the potion, though witches can also apply it to their own bodies.
* **Broomsticks:** A common witch tool, it can be used to fly if applied with a magic potion. Witches can also use it as a weapon. A fire-like light is lit at the end of the broomstick before shooting a ray of light.
* **Communication spiritual items:** The witches use spiritual items to communicate their thoughts at high speed.
* **Ocean control spell:** During their battle with the Knights of England, Smartvery commented it would be fun if they took them out with an ocean control spell.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### British Royal Family Arc

*Main article: British Royal Family Arc*
When the coup d'état was initiated at midnight on October 18th, the *Coven Compass*, near Islay, was one of the many sites that were attacked by the knights and a battle ensued between them and the witches stationed on the fortress. Following Smartvery's suggestion concerning how the Curtana Original only provides the knights with power within the UK's borders, they travel just outside the border, creating a standstill between them.

After Carissa returned to Buckingham Palace in order to tune the unstable Curtana, the Anglicans made use of a flash spell relayed from the fortress in conjunction with the safety devices under the palace in order to send the Curtana Original's power out of control at 2:30 AM.

The fortress was later used by the witches to launch long-range attacks on Buckingham Palace during the final battle of the coup d'état, beginning at 3 AM. At this point, it had begun to list due to battle damage. The tremendous power of the blasts was augmented by shots from Princess Villian's bowgun into a destructive stream of water and a barrage of golf ball-sized spheres.
Fish of the Supper

The **Fish of the Supper** (晩餐の魚, *Bansan no Sakana*?) is a spell used by the Roman Catholic Church. Appearing as a powerful laser-like attack, it is able to go through any obstacle and only attack the target of the spell.

## Principles

Before it can be used the Pope has to personally order it to be used and that two billion people must hold a common hatred, which in this case would be the target of the spell in the first place.

As it is a spell of the Roman Catholic Church, it also has one of its idiosyncrasies that are apparent in many other spells and magic, such as the Croce di Pietro, La Regina del Mare Adriatico, Document of Constantine, and the Star of Bethlehem. These spells aren't made with completely parallel functions, always requiring a leader in the center and everything is made evenly parallel below that. As such, the spell requires a "breaker" in case the other users lose control of the spell. This also makes the "breaker" the Achilles' heel, apparently making the spell not function if they are defeated. Moreover, as exemplified by Agnese Sanctis, the "breaker" of the spell used in Aalborg, Denmark, for the manhunt for Othinus and Kamijou Touma, it seems that they are incapable of using the spell itself as Agnese tried to instead use her Lotus Wand.

It can be used by at least 250 magicians (the number of members in the Agnese Forces). Each of them acts as a "cannon" for the spell, allowing them to fire the spell on their own. When used, the spell appears like a laser beam and travels at a straight line. It can pass through anything from walls to people that isn't its target, making it impossible for the target to use anything as a shield. The power of the spell is based on the gathering and processing power of two billion people (likely referring to those with a "common hatred) across the world. So great is the power of the beam that it can't be thoroughly negated by Touma's Imagine Breaker, similar to Stiyl Magnus' Innocentius. According to Othinus, the spell takes an offensive interpretation of stories about lightning and divine punishment, and that the spell's structure is simple enough for anyone with a bit of Christian knowledge to put together.

When the target is hit, specifically when using multiple beams, the target can apparently be vaporized, according to Touma's assessment.

## Chronology

### Magic God Othinus Arc

*Main article: Magic God Othinus Arc*
The Pope allows for the usage of the spell during the manhunt for Othinus and Kamijou Touma . It is the Agnese Forces that wield the spell, and is probably chosen for the fact that Touma's Imagine Breaker has no effect against it. Knowing this and since time was of the essence for Othinus, Touma secretly negotiates with Agnese Sanctis to let them go.
Château de Compiègne

**Château de Compiègne** (コンピエーニュ古城, *Konpiēnyu Kojō*?) is a French château, a royal residence built for Louis XV.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Index Arc

*Main article: Index Arc*
Stiyl Magnus of Necessarius mentions that Index has been to the château prior to the start of the main story alongside the Vatican Library, the Pataliputra ruins, Mont Saint-Michel Abbey, and the Louvre Museum. There is apparently at least one grimoire sealed in the château which cannot be taken away.

Cthulhu

**Cthulhu** (クトゥルフ, *Kutourufu*?) is a fictional cosmic entity appearing in H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu", part of a shared fictional universe named after the entity; the Cthulhu Mythos.

In *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, Cthulhu is a being which can be brought into existence through certain spells based off the Cthulhu Mythos.

## Appearance

Cthulhu is described as a giant being hundreds of meters tall, possessing a mixture of octopean, anthropoid and draconian features.

## Principles

Like the other evil gods of the Cthulhu Mythos, Cthulhu is a being which no human can handle, however like them it gains its role and terror from the story it represents. Spells which use Cthulhu cannot ignore this story aspect - as such it's terror only lasts during the 'story' and it can't do anything once that story comes to an end, until the next story begins.

In *The Call of Cthulhu*, Cthulhu was trapped in the sunken city of R'lyeh and emerged after the sunken city came to the surface. As such, the entity is an inescapable aspect of any spells that involve the summoning of R'lyeh and it will emerge during such a ceremony.

As with any spell based off the Cthulhu Mythos, the summoning of Cthulhu is defined as creating something from nothing.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test*

After stealing the Necronomicon, Arlands Darkstreet of Dusk Waiting to Awaken carries out a ceremony on an ocean salvage terminal in the Strait of Dover with conditions made to mimic those of the underwater city of R'lyeh.

As the ceremony progresses, Cthulhu begins to appear as a mental presence, overwhelming Itsuwa. However the Amakusa manage to use the story aspect of the Cthulhu Mythos and make the evil god leave before it could gain a physical form by interfering with the twisted landscape which had been used to deceive it.
