Both would still be terrifying, but not 1-shot techniques.

The key in the issue is that Imagine Breaker itself is so poorly understood, transporting it elsewhere lock stock and barrel is a lot harder without literally breaking something...

...hence why I'm not doing a Toumaverse in Nanoverse but rather a Nanoverse in Toumaverse, told completely from Touma's perspective with a facade in place that conforms to Toumaverse rules because the reverse is just too messy without a full Jack Sparky dossier on what makes Toumaverse tick.

So we either delay the collision, or do it from within its own universe.
This does not change my point at all. We don't know the inner workings of Imagine Breaker, nor any way to combat is effects. so far it has shown to be capable of canceling anything supernatural, so to say that Nanohaverse magic is more resistant to it would be to place Nanohaverse magic on a higher pedestal.

Yes, you counter that with saying Rule Breaker does the same thing opposite, but there is a key difference, and that difference is that Rule Breaker if fanon, rather then canon. People will know what Imagine Breaker is, and seeing Imagine Breaker being less effective on Nanohaverse magi will make them question"... why didn't Imagine Breaker cancel that spell as usual?" the same does not hold true for Rule Breaker.

Speaking of which, why did Index raise Church bells? Just because her name is similar to a tome of them? I'd expect that to be filed away as coincidence quickl enough...

This would suggest the power is well known, and yet nobody of either side -magic of psychic- has ever heard of the ability.

Once she is certain that Touma had nothing to do with AMF or Gadgets, she let him go...
Another plothole here. By he time of MC 73, Jail is virtually of Mid's radar. There certainly isn't a reason for the Saint Church to investigate him, as any clue they do have is Bureau business, not the Churches. Bureau involvement with Jail was even more a secret. In fact, it didn't leak out until after the JS incident.

You'd be better of by taking a page out of Storm's book and having her label Touma as a potential threat to Familiars and other magical constructs. Though you'd still need an excuse for her to take him away like that...
