Keystone: a Raildex Quest (To Aru Majutsu No Index)

Reader mode
Hmm. I notice we're starting on Jan 1st, about a half-year before the events of the Index arc. Any special reason, or...

Also, come to think of it, being involved in magic when you're an esper not named Accelerator is often dangerous.

Integrated printer is easy enough

Imagine breaker needs to touch the focus or spatial origin of an intangible area effect.
We learn this against Aurelous Izzard and Queen of the Adriatic

It depends. For example, Touma dispels the entirety of any of Misaka's iron sand constructs, instead of just the part that's touching him. I'd be inclined to say that the same applies for us. But the other thing to keep in mind is that our ability is not the same as Vista's. It seems like we'll mostly be doing smaller-scale alterations, especially given our relative inexperience.

Naw, we got enough examples that we know that he basically has to touch a surface. If he hits the floor while we stretch it, then its going to instantly unstretch, but he has to physically touch the affected surface.

His ability has a gap against "change the world around you without changing you directly" stuff.

Well even small alterations can mean a lot in a fight, for instance one escape trick we can do it to rush up some stairs and slightly alter the height/width of the steps behind us so that whomever is chasing will stumble and fall. It's a trick many castles had where occasionally there was a step that was a different distance from the others as in the heat of battle someone unfamiliar with the place would likely fall because of it.

But the surface in this matter is space itself? Unless for some reason we only stretch the dimension of single surface without altering any volume or things, which is weird and extremely situational thing to do.

This is literally how Aureleous's Ars Magna works, which is a building converted to an artificial space where the controller's wishes come true. And Kazakiri Hyouka is an area effect occupying all of Academy City at once

And also the whole Othinus matter. Imagine Breaker must interact with the point of unnaturalness to reset it, passing through it does not count when it is empty....and Topology manipulation is in fact specific to a given surface at a time, by definition.

Sure Ars Magna range is all over the building, but that's just the range. What Imagine Breaker dispel is the active effect done to something. Which our space manipulation does and maintain unlike Ars Magna. Rather than the whole building, the comparison to our manipulated space would be the various guillotine dropped on Touma.

Also manipulated the number behind a space is unnatural I am pretty sure. It's like Vector manipulation, an abstract thing that doesn't reall have any form and Touma have no problem dispelling that.

We have solid enough precedences that passing through an affected area doesn't auto dispel it, and Touma's been in at least three magically sustained spaces and structures without everything popping. He has to at least punch a wall first. Imagine Breaker is surprisingly specific.
