How do espers work

Furthermore, with the Parameter List , it is apparent that esper potential is limited by various factors. This has resulted in researchers determining that it would be wise to focus on developing an esper whose ability is worth more to the city and whose training is predicted to be more resource efficient than that of another person's. Information regarding the students enrolled in the curriculum, such as their abilities, their level and a brief description of them, is available in the Data Banks of Academy City.

Furthermore, certain espers, such as Kamijou Touma , have security protocols in place to ensure that the truth of their abilities is classified. According to Uiharu Kazari , the name of an esper ability, such as Electromaster or Telekinesis , is decided by the school that its owner is enrolled in.

Only under specific conditions can the name of an esper ability be decided by its owner, such as the Railgun. Currently, only Academy City can create espers, although others have tried, such as during the Stargate Project. A Gemstone esper is an individual who can emit AIM without requiring participation in any power development program.

Gemstones are the beings that Index likely referred to as having "talent"; the envy of their abilities from their peers is what led to the creation of magic. In extension to this, it has been speculated that there may be people who have not realized that they have powers, or that their certain propensities or idiosyncrasies, as subtle as good looks or good penmanship, may actually have this power.

Many Academy City students are aware of Gemstone rumors, but treat them as urban legends. This is due to many feeling that it is unfair for esper powers to be gained without having gone through the Power Curriculum Program to attain them. Kamijou Touma , as mentioned by Kumokawa Seria , does not classify as a Gemstone esper as due to his powers being unrelated to AIM; it is believed that Imagine Breaker is beyond the current understanding of Academy City researchers.
