Something important I'll add anyway is that all we've seen the dragon do is negate.
Aleister himself said that Touma's right hand is not merely a right hand that can negate supernatural powers. Which probably implies that the dragon hand and the IT are different powers. |

I believe that the difference between Aleister's Horus powers and other magician's Osiris powers isn't a question of power, but of the underlying principles behind them. Othinus, who represents the apex of Osiris magicians (Odin follows the dying god formula, so Othinus should be Osiris) can manipulate the phases of the world, but this does not affect the Pure World underneath. Aleister, on the other hand, was trying to manipulate the Pure World that even Magic Gods cannot touch. If Aleister can operate, even partially, on a deeper level than other magicians, then he can undercut their powers and beat them every time regardless of differences in power output. I speculate it's kind of like type effectiveness in Pokemon. No matter how well you've optimized it, your level 100 Groudon's Earthquake isn't going to do jack to the level 3 Pidgeys on route 2.

Aleister wants to manipulate the Pure World of Science. In order to do that, I speculate he has to change the values in IB to make it accept the world he wants as natural. No amount of power is able to immediately change IB, but what about multiple small adjustments over several years? I further speculate that placing IB in AC serves the purpose of slowly conditioning IB to accept AIM. Finally, if IB changes, then those changes should be reflected in the power inside it. Prior to Volume 22, that power took the form of a Dragon, but at some point after chapter 69 of Railgun, it changed form and became IT. Due to the lack of information we have, I see no grounds on which this theory can be conclusively proved or disproved. Once again, I warn everyone against making hasty assumptions.

I was also thinking something similar might be true. Your theory about it changing its form is definitely interesting. I'm still not sure if they're different powers or the same power. About Aleister vs. Othinus: It's possible that he doesn't do anything because he's already planned out exactly what he wants to do and he wants to mess with it as little as possible. He has so much patience that he is perhaps inhibited by his plans and can't make any moves for that reason. It's possible that everything Othinus did would be useless for Aleister to pursue, so he hasn't done what she could yet. Either way, Musujime already foreshadowed Aleister viewed the planet as just another resource. Perhaps Aleister will also become stronger at some point... he is trying to reach Aiwass's level after all. Since he seems to be the Final Boss I agree that he's most likely stronger than Othinus, or at least he would beat in a fight because of he's a pidgey that can't get hit by earthquake. (Aleister is a level 3 pidgey lol...) |

Even if adding a phase could cause interference that would set his plan back, it would have been preferable to not knowing what to do at all. I doubt adding phases could cause any fatal damage to his plan, because otherwise he would have stopped Othinus. Rather than say that the power of a Magic God would be useless to Aleister, I believe that it is incompatible with his current state and the goals he ultimately wants to achieve. The power to manipulate phases and the power to reach the Pure World beneath might simply not be able to mix. Quote:

about the dragon and IB: im sad because it looks like a dragon this was the only thing... so far as the series goes we have no idea what a dragon can do or not which means that they after toaru-verse rules could also be the strongest being in gods creation... i think many fans pointed this out too but some wrote that the third power (which is > IT )could be the dragon, i dont have anythign to disproove that but a question: why should the dragon appear if IB is severed and not the IT?? in WW3 IB was severed too and in the end the IT showed up and not the third power (which can also be toumas will which suppressed it), in his fight with izzard it showed up but i think it was the IT, the same happens in railgun, their is no third power or greater power, touma managed to stop the IT from going berserk because of will/luck/plot whatever... @doom_paperclip i agree with dniv about the part that the IT (or dragon) only showed the power to negate things... it negated the supernatural power inside mikotos body... it negated the only attack of fiamma which could destroy a planet (as far as i remember), (since the only feats he showed as lsdap was to summon golden telesma from ( the magical equivalent of) heaven, create gaint golden arms and attack with a lightbeam which was powerful enough to destroy the world) every other attack was not on this scale so i think that IB would be screwed if ti was the one who took this attack head on... the third time where he erased izzards memories: (THIS is now only a theory of mine llike the one i wrote about how grimoire can actually mindf*ck someone) Ars Magna is a spell which allows the magician to rememebr every single law/value and their reaction to each other, and after that allows them to control the reality as if it is his mind, it simulates the world inside their mind and than allows them to change the laws/values however they wish, that means the mind of the magician is the "core" or the medium for the spell... IB would negate the effects of magic like izzard summons a gaint and IB destroys it again, so far this was what we saw in vol. 2... IT on the other hand not only destroyed the effects like the gaint (much faster) he also destroyed the "core" of he magicians magic... birdway uses this changing-four-elemst-magical-suff, IB would destoy it if it coudl actually touch it and the same with IT or Dragon, it destoyed the memories of izzard because they was the core of his spell, if touma could manages to touch the part of izzards brain which saves the memories than he would also negate it.... and in the fouth case against otihinus it showed up and was defeted because the worf effect was used and because i couldnt see a "core" which othnius used as medium for her mmajin-magic.. so in the end: IT is the 100% version of IB which shows itself in a faster version of negating supernatural powers... with this: the IT recreated toumas arm after being severed right?? was their even one moment of his arm being ripped because of non-supernatural powers?? i think if touma is trapped in one of jigsaws "plays" and his right arm needs to be severed than it wouldnt replace itself since their was no supernatural forces... i question thius because if his right arm can really heal faster than i highly doubt that his parents wouldnt notice something like that, at least if touma was really "assaulted" because of his misfortune than i doubt that he wouldnt notice that (after being hurt) his right arm is healed 30-80 minutes later... |

from what i understood was that it was never stated that it could be a new power, yes the story said that it was something > IT but never told us if it is a new power or simply toumas will who suppressed the IT... and you didnt say anything to disproof my theory..... Quote:

what i want to know is if it was stated that the third power is a new force OR if it is toumas will-power which supressed the IT.... if the latter is the case than their are only two powers IB and IT who is now the dragons head... but if this is the case than why should the dragon show up if the right hand is severed and not IT?? it was already shown that in vol. 22 and nt4, after severing the right hand the IT appears, the third power was only in vol. 22, if it is toumas will i can understand why it didnt show up on the other cases but with what i saw until now it is that: 1. Ib is the regular power 2. IT shows up everytime if the right hand is severed which is now confrmed to be a dragon head 3. the third power isnt a extra force but it is toumas will which suppressed the IT in vol.22.. i can understand why others think of the third pwoer as extra force but why should it appear now instead of the IT????? |

It is unlikely that we'll ever be able to verify this either. I can't think of many situations where Touma's arm could possibly end up getting severed in a non-supernatural context. 90% of his enemies wield powers and the remaining 10% wield weapons that are unlikely to cause that type of injury, such as guns. I have nothing against anyone who has nothing against me!

It being in other belief systems means nothing, there are gods and angels(atleast the appearance of ones) in both the Aeons as well

if we had Aiwass who was considered/called a DRAGON but turn out to be an angel outside of the system I'm fine with the dragon if there is a good reason playing with tons of games and reading tons of stories dragon was always depicted as the ultimate fantasy, a form of power but for here in Tamni. there was lots of meaning for the dragon and its only a SYMBOL but why take form of the dragon that we are all familiar with? I thought if a dragon shows up again. It will probably be the same as Aiwass but who said they are limited to that form? they can be free transforming and all. but the feeling of dragon is just a let down because we already had cthulhu here and magic god. Alien from mars and even time traveler. The idea of the dragon is just pretty common that it date as far as the age of Isis to Osiris where the dragon was struck down by the might of the right hand of god Micheal. Now, if you imagine that Aiwass goal as the age of Horus. The thing inside touma would take a form of an unknown, invisible or indistinguishable or unique. But not just a dragon. But I'm fine with a dragon. Just disappointed that it turn out to be a dragon. I hope its not just mere dragon but the dragon form is just one of its form that it can take. If not its really disappointing.

and the things that I listed really DID happen in Tamni. Be it side story or game. The world of tamni is just pretty big and has unique characters that its just disappointing it will fall into the trope of dragons. Though I will still wait for the explanation about it.

I think your making too big a deal about the dragon appearing, we already saw it so it's not a big surprise it eould take that form again, what is surprising is that he used it and we didn't even know given how far we are in the LN, which is exiting to know. |

you need to explore tamni more. There is an ss where touma accidentally met a magician that is connected to alien on mars. And the time traveler is from the psp game.
You should also know that Touma also accidentally met Birdway when he is taking detours in the ally. Touma's adventure in the ally is pretty colorful life. If we take into account that the dragon strike was already shown in the psp game. typemoon fans would weep with how tamni plays with their 5 true magic. I'm one of them but I don't weep, I find it funny
