Yes this please me. Ninja Cyborg fuhuhuheheheheHAHAHAAHAHAH

[x] Nano-machine colony





INTRODUCING SENATOR ARMSTRONG!

HE'S SEXY!

HE'S SMART!

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HE'S SMART!

Also Nanomachines, Son
 
[x] Android - Extreme durabiltiy and strength. Positron cannons, assault rifles, and high-frequency blades hidden in each arm. Micro-rocket launchers in each shoulder. Jet boosters in each foot with collapsible stabilizing wings in back. Counts as an object in Magical terms and doesn't register life signs. Uncanny valley effect sometimes happens. Can access computers wirelessly.
Can androids or nano-machine colonies save copies of themselves onto computers?

But only Magic can be Magic, while with Science you can live in the frequency of the color blue, only with magic can you live in the color blue, have a green house and a white picket fence that are also blue. While sufficiently advanced science can be mistaken for magic by those that do not understand either, only Magic can be Magic.
Oh poor soul, so close-minded :V

The power of constantly increasing speed with no limit. Resets when you stop moving for too long. Is this okay?

Cant we capture a Sorcerer and experiment on him till we discover what is magic ?
Doesn't mean we can do magic.

No seriously, though. Only person in canon who does both only does both because his Esper Power is healing, so he can heal from the damage magic does to his body because he's an esper doing magic.

You're not normally supposed to pick both, and doing so usually means your 100% death.
 
No analyzing magic significantly. One of the major themes of A Certain Magical Index is Magic vs Technology and I don't want to blur that line. Sorry.
Science is not Technology, Technology is things created by man to effect the world. Technology is a sharpened stick made by a caveman with a sharpened rock. Technology is a gun made in a factory. Technology is a light bulb mass produced to light houses across the world. Technology is a magic sword forged from silver under a full moon and cooled in the blood of a virgin doe in order to be able to slay trolls in a single swing.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves, misunderstanding and misapplying what Technology and Science is. Science is a process, science is a method used to figure out how the universe works, and then to use those rules for their own advantage. How else would magicians learn the rules of magic if they cannot learn the rules for magic? Is every wizard in the series completely ignorant in the way magic works? Because a Scientific Field is described as a field of knowledge, if magic is not a field of knowledge than what is it?

Science is discovering the laws of the world by figuring out how things consistently work. From what I know of the setting it fails at the Science VS Magic argument, it fails to describe how they interfere with each other effectively making them mutually exclusive magic systems. While another setting known as Arcanum: Steamworks of Magick Obscura actually bothers to explain how they interfere with each other. In that setting Magic fucks with how physics consistently works, down to the level of fucking with friction, It's not a consistent alteration either, you could literally be casting the exact same spell and it will alter how the experiment goes in very different ways, that's how it explains how they interfere with each other.

Anyways, the Science/Normal/Magic selection was vague about what "Normal" actually meant, since as far as we knew, and what was likely assumed, is that Science could do everything Normal could and more. Could we be a scientist that studies Magic if we chose Normal?

tl;dr. Fuck it, Science in this setting is just another system of magic that's exclusive from real science and Magic. That's how I'm interpreting it and it's the only way it doesn't massively break my SOD.

[] Esper: Intuition

Because why not be able to infer things with logical deduction? That seems like an awesome super power!

[x] Dr. Doofinshmirtz - Can create nearly any invention, no matter how improbable, so long as it has a built-in self-destruct button, an antidote, or at least one easily-exploitable weakness.

Changing to this, because it really fits the "Science is a mutually exclusive field of magic" concept that I have. It also makes me laugh. Good job Rossum for coming up with this idea.

Examples of inventions:

Self-replicating nanobot swarm that malfunction and shut down when exposed to cellphone signals.

Motion Revers-inator - Protective bubble that reverses the motion of all incomimg attacks, rendering us invulnerable (but unable to enjoy hot cocoa or any other hot beverage since brownian motion would make our drink get repelled away).

Motion Reverser Reverser-inator - Cancels out all attempts to reverse motion, nullifying Accelerator's auto-deflection power.

Yawn-inator - A device that plays a "perfect yawn", causing everyone who hears it to yawn... which makes others yawn, then the first people get drowsy. Naturally, this will make everyone in earshot fall asleep and leave us free to do what we want. Counteracted by coffee.

Slob-inator - Deavtivates the part of the brain responsible for tidyness, thereby ensuring the affected don't bug us about our manners or making our enemies more likely to just leave important stuff lying around for us to steal.

Sprout-inator - Turns all the ice-cream and candy in the city into brussel sprouts, which will naturally cause all the sugar-lovers to flee the city. Assuming at least one of our enemies is addicted to sugar, this will no doubt help us. Hitting the self-destruct button turns everything back.

[x] Nano-machine colony - Can freely change shape and color. Examples include looking perfectly human, camouflaging oneself, forming mono-molecular blades and wire, ballooning to increase size. Can not separate nano-machines from colony and can not produce new nano-machines. Can access computers directly. Counts as an object in Magical terms.

Changing cause i want to be a Kihara and maybe later we can become a cyborg with our inventions

No. Your AI is too complex a program for any normal computer, even on with a bullshit amount of memory and processing power. Not because of you intelligence but because a personality needs specialized parts.

Remove the nanomachine weaponry and your fine.

Sure. I guess there's some required secondary power to keep you from lighting on fire from the friction

Side Effects include: Compulsively including self destruct buttons on the machine, animals fighting you whenever you try using the machine, and having a impossibly tragic backstory.

Yay! I'll responsibly near lightspeed while infinitely increasing my mass Flash style.
