But on to the main question. Level 0's are those that don't have an ability. Level 1's and onward have an abilty. Level is determined by control and power. For example, Kuroko can teleport an 80Kg object almost 100 meters away, but at that distance her accuracy isn't that great. In contrast, Awaki can teleport a 4500 Kg object by a much greater distance, and she is still considered a Level 4, though one who has (or had at least), the ability to go to Level 5. THe greater you can control your personal reality, the higher your Level can go. The exact process is fuzzy, but apparently hard work can do wonders. (Or so they say) Esper development starts when you arrive, mor or less. Well,I'm sure age plays a factor. Both Touma and Misaka have been in AC since they were as young as 6 or 7. Touma is just older. System scans take place to determine mastery, and those determine ranking.

They judge different powers differently. For those Elemental abilities it's a matter of how much power can you put out, how well you can control them, and what can you do with it. For teleporters like Kuroko, we see that they're judge on weight, accuracy and distance. There's supposedly a ranking system but the gist is that at Level 3, your abilities is strong, at level 4 you have tactical value to the military, Level 5, your powers have the ability to take on armies. ...Yeah I took that last part from the toaru wiki, don't know how accurate it is but I like the description.

according to here,
Quote:
Big Power user (Level 4): has military tactical value Strong Power user (Level 3): can be utilised for everyday life in a convenient manner Strange Power user (Level 2): almost the same level of power as Level 1 Low Power user (Level 1): only strong enough for spoon bending(to cite an example) and practically useless for everyday stuff. Powerless Person (Level 0): Undetectable and/or weak powers

In that perspective. They are all pretty much useless unless your level 4 or above. And even the level 5 aren't all that great except for Accelerator and the rank 2. No wonder the person standing in the upside down test tube won't use them for his plan. They are there to feed up the artificial heaven and for front sake of the city and nothing more.

You really seem to forget that part where Misaka summoned the giant avalanche of Iron sand and Lightning to destroy the military base right? Anyway if Esper were mostly trained as soldiers, did you think that parents would send their kids to the city? Hence it's not a politically smart move to use large numbers of students as weapons.

well levels 0 are really special, touma migth be lvl 0 for obvious reasons, tsuchi is clearly not lvl 0, aogami is someone that touma V.1 thougth as someone strong along mikoto, and if we go with kamijou(god above) then maybe saten(help heaven) migth turn out as something special.

A soldier and a mercenary, both don't need to hesitate when it comes to kill, while Mikoto and many others do, they're normal people with powers. |

With Mikoto you can completely wipe out the enemy's weapons, communications, and supply before they can even fight. You will crush their morale and make them unwilling to fight because the battle was already lost. Even better if you can show that you don't even need to kill to win.

Its not a matter of who kills the most but a matter of how big is you supremacy in most of the aspects from the militar affairs.
Russians have lost their leader (Nicolai) already so they can only take their own decistions, most of their forces where wiped out by Academy City and then were send to the oblivion by Gabriel. Weapons vs Powers, the formers has no experience against powers when the latter has. A partial victory will be the result at the end, just look at those soldiers who were injured,l as long they are alive, they are still willing to fight back. Think again, mind Aqua's words, isn't a game nor gambling is a war where the tragedies happens. |

I'm talking about from Aleisters perspective which he doesn't value much the others. Others to him are just pawns and to him Mikoto is just your another level 5. unless Aleister is planning to use her as a back up plan for the network

Wait,do you mean my first comment or second?
Meh; IB can't be understood with Science: Hyoka IB can't be understood with Magic: Index Second comment: Aparently Touma moved to AC just after kindergarten. At least, that is what the Angel Fall Wikia entry mentions. I'm pretty sure it was flere who did that, but I might be wrong. Kindergarten is what, 5? I'm not sure. Misaka is a guess. In her flashbacks when giving her DNA map, she looked to be about 5 or 6, and she seems to have had her powers then; meaning she was in AC by that point.

It depends.
Capacity Down not working on her is not enough to prove that she can become a magician. Apparently, Capacity Down only works on Levels 1 to 5, with major crippling power-wise for Level 5s but no complete disabling. However, Level 0s can either have: an ability undetectable by System Scan; or no abilities as of the moment. Even if Saten is considered to be completely powerless, she already has undergone the Power Development Program, meaning that her brain is already configured to be an esper's, thus magic will be a one-hit kill poison for her.
