"The God Purifying Demon Destroyer"

Sounds incredibly badass

[Miraluka]

And thats since vol.1 .

'Character Development Punch', huh?

That's one heck of an ability...

You know, he'd probably make a great hairdresser.

Kamijou Touma doesn't need character development- HE IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!

This explains so much yet so little.

[ellifeedn]

So he's a plot device?

That would explain everything- why he could survive Accelerator's Rain of Black Wings, how he grew his arm back, even why Othinus' could defeat it-

That thing within him is a plot device! That's why Aleister wanted it!

[ellifeedn]

I'm sure what Aleister wants is, metaphorically speaking, Kamachi's pen.

La persona superiore a dio... If Aleister gets his hands on his own plot device...

Damn, that's some serious Alan Wake vibe right there:

Theres an old town wrought with mystery of the poet and his muse...

And the magic lake which gave a life to the words the poet used...

[Kenju of the Right]

Some people say he dosen't have his character development. You just have to notice it

But yes, his right hand may be the key to save all of fiction

[Mr.Kyon]

What if Touma is an avatar of Kamachi and the right hand (writing hand unless he's a lefty?) serves to change/rewrite the world of Toaru?

This means Aleister is self-aware in the context of the story and is actively trying to overtake Kamachi's position.

It also explains why Touma always gets out of the most improbable fights relatively unharmed and why the right hand will stay with him and regrow -- he's pretty much God, the author of the series.

Wait, does this mean Othinus is also aware of this and is trying to transfer the right hand to someone who she can control before Aleister gets to do it?

Meta as fuck yo.

[Chaos2Frozen]

What is this, the 16th century? I'm pretty sure Kamachi types his stories, so technically he uses both hands... >.>

[ellifeedn]

Hence why I said metaphorical pen.

Who knows, maybe he writes drafts and ideas on paper, so it kinda counts.

ALL FICTION.

The power to make anything into nothing!

It makes so much sense now...! Or lack there of!

It's only like a boss if he does it in a candle lit room, oil lamps are also acceptable.

I was thinking about AIM fields and magical artifacts, and there were a couple of questions that I wanted to ask here.

1. Firstly, we've seen the incompatibility between AIM and mana, as well as the damage that can be caused by it. We've seen this effect being used against a magic user to damage them - I was thinking that (active?) magical artifacts might experience similar damage. Do you think this would be the case?
2. The second question regards espers wielding magical artifacts (knowingly or not). I wasn't sure about what conditions might set off a rejection reaction, whether it was any triggering, a conscious invocation or what (for example, what would happen if an esper, unaware of the consequences, were to unsheath Dáinsleif (not that that would happen though)). I was also not sure about whether items with a continuous effect would cause a reaction or not (Aisa's cross doesn't but that might not apply for some artifacts). What do you lot think the conditions are?

(Apologies for poor writing, tired)

I would assume an Esper even physically touching a magical object or weapon would set off a reaction.
