Going a few pages back: no, AIM and Telesma are definitely not derived from the same source. You really need to brush up on your Index lore if you think they are, since all the evidence we have so far suggest that though they have similar characteristics, they are fundamentally completely different. They aren't even from the same plane of existence. AIM is the substance or energy released by espers, a concept based on Aleister Crowley's Thelema (different from Telesma!), while Telesma is what makes up the Heavens, a concept of Christianity. Obviously, Aiwass did not originally exist in the same plane as the Christian angels. Aleister's Artificial Heaven plan would force the laws of Magic to recognize the Artificial Heaven made of AIM as the real heaven which houses the templates or so for the elements instead of the Heaven made of Telesma, and this causes spells cast and even the very process of drawing Mana from Life Force to backfire on the caster. This effect is already manifested in the small scale inside the brains or bodies of every esper, severely hampering their ability to cast magic. AIM (and its supposed derivative, dark matter) and Telesma also have an antagonistic relationship, meaning AIM cancels out Telesma and vise versa. This is demonstrated by:
I believe the answer here is no. All the supernatural aspects will be negated by IB, while the natural aspects like the cloth or the thread in some special nun's robes (Walking Church, etc) or, in Equ Dark Matter's case (since, I think, only the weaponized helmet is made of Dark Matter), the rest of the suit and the supposed sensors and controls inside the helmet will be unaffected. Being able to affect or manipulate the supernatural does not necessarily make the manipulator supernatural. Else, the flesh and blood of magicians and espers would be considered supernatural, and they would vanish to nothingness if Touma touched them. Conversely, supernatural objects or forces shaped by natural means or made to resemble natural objects are not converted into the natural, as is the case in Curtana, the Steel Gloves, the Queen of the Adriatic, etc.

Strictly speaking though, for Telesma and AIM to not have the same source, would mean that AIM is not a creation of God....that is so far unknown...all that is certain is that AIM is an anomaly as far as known mystic lore can tell.

No, after Bishop Nikolai was back-stabbed by Fiamma he decided to launch the nukes at the Star of Bethlehem. Mikoto went to stop it since a nuclear explosion at that height would lead to a greater mess than Chenobyl as the wind carry the isotopes across the world. |

I do recall that Kamachi originally had no plans to expand his novel series beyond volume 1, but probably did so upon knowing there are requests for continuation from his editor.

Not really. The Christian god might be in control right now. But that doesn't mean the gods from the Aeon of Isis just vanished. The magic before the age of Osiris still works. Those gods might just become outdated.
The Valkyries can also be considered the natural power user from Aeon of Isis. The Right Hand Users should be the candidate to become new gods. If they ever succeeded in shifting the world into the new Aeon, they'll probably be the one who becomes a new god. |

Anyone remember the Culture Festival mentioned in Volume 14 (the one which Mikoto wanted to attend with Touma)?
I am not good with dates in novels so I would like to ask if the Festival happened or if it is still an upcoming event? It was supposed to happen around a month after date of Volume 14.

the Ichihanaransa is held probably new year or next year as an opening day of the year though I'm not so sure.

November; I remember clearly in volume 17 where Fukiyose was trying to rally the class to put up a good 'show' for the festival. I don't think the author would throw away the idea after so many hints, my speculation is that it would take 2 more volume (aka end of this year) to clear up their current predication with the Board of Directors gunning for them all, after that would be the start of the festival and Necessarius attacks!!
As a sideplot; Mikoto decided to confess her feelings once and for all, after losing Touma once, she doesn't want to live with the feeling of regret ever again.
