A Certain Magical Index plot recap, spoiler-light
A Certain Magical Index takes place in a world where science and magic collide. In Academy City, a technologically advanced metropolis, scientifically empowered students known as Espers develop special abilities. Meanwhile, hidden sorcerers draw power from mythologies and mystical artifacts, keeping their existence secret from the general public.
This division creates a massive power struggle between the science and magic factions for global control. Toma Kamijo is an ordinary student living in Academy City whose life changes forever when he meets Index, a young nun from the Church of England's secret magic branch, Necessarius. Index carries a terrible burden: her mind has been implanted with the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, containing one hundred and three thousand forbidden magical books. Because of Toma's unique right hand, the Imagine Breaker, which can negate any supernatural, magical, or divine power, he finds himself thrust directly into the violent conflicts between sorcerers and espers who want to uncover the deep secrets surrounding Academy City, Index, and Toma's mysterious abilities.
