That's a great theory... it makes sense, I buy it.

Now, about Ollerus, the description of his power makes me think that maybe more than his own Mana, he's channeling external forces, the type of force that lies everywhere (like the blessings Touma dispel for his own bane.) Well, that's just the impression it gives me.

Oh one more thing that I forgot to add, Magicians don't generally have more mana than other people since most magicians are normal humans. Mana comes from converting a person's Life Energy.

The ones with more mana or naturally wield better quality magic are people like Saints who are born with special powers.

Also, Vampires who are thought of as Immortal, would have an unlimited supply of Life Energy, making them the ultimate magicians... Or at least an unending supply of Mana.

Espers are somewhat restricted, you can never be certain what you're gonna get. But with Cyborgs, you know what you're paying for. In addition, Cyborgs don't produce AIM field so technically they can also use magic.
If they have part human body and have esper power those source of power (the brain or other organic elements) will still have a backslash if they ever ry to mix with magic.

Of course, why they would try magic in the first place?

Do you think Aleister cares a damn about the humans character or personality?

It's not a necessity is it?

Cyborgs don't have to be Espers.

How else would they learn to fight off magicians? And without Imagine Breaker or Index, sometimes the only way to break a spell is with another spell.

Do you remember how tense became the talk between Aleister and Laura when she asked him having a magician inside A.C.?

Of course, he has Etzali there and the boy is aware that the Anglican Church can hunt him down ....

From wikia:

Quote:
Mana is the energy that allows magicians to use magic. Mana exists in all forms of life, not just magicians, although they are the only ones who use it. It has been explicitly stated one method of creating mana is by processing a person's inner lifeforce (Life Force (生命力 seimeiryoku?, lit (one's) life force)), similar to how crude oil is refined into other substances. The various schools of magic, for example Nordic and Shinto styles, requires different 'kinds' of mana for casting that other styles might not use[1].
There is 'natural' mana that exists within the earth itself, which some magicians or magical objects, such as the grimoires, draw their power from, in the form of "leylines".

Only mentioned that's what Yomikawa did when she first saw Accel coming back. No other details given.

I remember how despite the atmosphere being tense, they both seem to enjoy this kind of thing.

Which brings me to the suggestion that this faction might not be under any Board of Director, otherwise why would they need to go through all this trouble just to greenlit Accelerator and Shiage? If they were on the payroll of Aleister, they would have full reign to do whatever they please as long as it gets the job done.

Accel had probably stop thinking like this because you know what they say, 'Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it.' Oh, and Accel, Touma had it a bit worse then you because his loli bit him- neither WORST or Last Order seem able to touch Accel...

The real biggest surprise is Index learn how to cook! ... and I guess some house doings too .

Lol, they sure like to exaggerate things, either the Cyborgs are super good at their job, or Skill-Out sucks at hiding VIPs for more than 30mins.

Well, without any power to support them and with the security system everywhere is not be surprised .

That only hold true if Touma is her Guardian which he currently isn't.

There's no reason to leave Index in Academy City.

She only needs to read a cooking book to learn how to cook, the problem is for her to actually do it...

I would bet Maika is taking care of her... you couldn't trust Itsuwa as she's probably in the same state, and then there would be two dead looking girls to feed and clean. Otherwise... maybe Laura puts her on johan's pen thrice a day to make her cook and once a week to do the cleaning.

Now, I also wonder, what could Index, who only thinks of Touma and food, be doing at a shopping mall?

I wouldn't be surprise if she's going to all the places that both her and Touma had been to.

I would be surprised if that was the case, that's too romantic/melancholic for this novel.
(Surprised in a good way though.)

I haven't read Shiage's parts, but for Touma's side I agree; romance isn't the story's strongest point, I strongly doubt this would ever change, but I'm optimistic.

And maybe now that Accelerator has his family wish, maybe he would find a lover as well.

Then again, animal symbology hasn't really mattered much in the series so far, except the Dragon in the England Civil War arc.

There is also the legend of when Horus attempted to overthrow god, and the Egyptians were known as a highly scientific empire back then, much like Academy City might
Are you not thinking of Set and Osiris?
