There is a power active. The changing of vectors is a power that is constantly active as long is the object is moving in the vector decided by Accelerator. If this is not the case, then by the same reasoning a fireball released by Stynx, as it is no longer being powered by him once it is shot away, or Ars Magma, which creates the users imagination without any apparent upkeep, or even Mikoto's lightning once she fires it would be listed as effects of their own. Yet all of these are affected by Imagine Breaker.
As I said before, so far every source is saying that Touma can block it. Touma himself in the novels even compared it as such:
"Like the laughing stock on television, in Academy City, those with superpowers are calculated with numbers. This strange power stops even God's miracles. The same goes for that girl's railgun attack. However, Kamijo's Imagine Breaker only operates on those strange talents. Simply put, it can stop the fireball itself, but not the concrete the fireball shattered. Also, the effect only works from the wrist up. if the fireball were to hit any other place, it would definitely burn me."
Even though he knows he can't do anything about the concrete shattered by a fireball, he still says he can block a Railgun blast. Why? Because a Railgun blast is consciously affected by the power. It is a direct effect, and thus can be countered with Imagine Breaker.
