Artificial Disc Replacement vs. Spinal Fusion: Which Is Right for You?

Facing chronic back pain and considering your surgical options? Learn the key differences between artificial disc replacement and spinal fusion.

Artificial disc replacement involves implanting a synthetic disc to preserve natural movement, offering quicker recovery and reduced risk of adjacent segment degeneration.

Spinal fusion, on the other hand, permanently joins two or more vertebrae, providing stability but limiting flexibility. Each procedure has its unique benefits and considerations, and the right choice depends on your specific condition and lifestyle.

I would also like to write a deconstructed mech pilot story about a trans woman in a distant demihuman future, who gone far past the end of hoping to live, but she refuses to die because she has the last known copy of Electric Ladyland on vinyl in the entire world. She's given up all hope and dreams and barely knows what's real anymore but survives purely for the sake of one Jimi Hendrix album.

And so gradually she gets one part after another replaced, ship of Theseus style, to be stronger and faster and better equipped to do this thing. She keeps doing more and more of this and her body gets bigger and less human and more artificial, she's adding armor and synthetic brains and multiple organs to the point where she's torn down so much of what she used to be that she can't even remember herself. There's only this titan of a body, thousands of feet high, walking aimlessly around the earth, and whatever is left of her is so small it rattles around the hollow shell.

Then down in the middle where a pilot goes are these vinyl discs, and the mechanisms of her body play them forever on repeat inside her heart on a turntable made out of muscle and bone. They just go on forever while fungus and plants and animals form a whole tiny ecosystem on her armored body, for so long the music on infinite loop by happenstance develops a mind, a kind of sapience that long centuries later allows the ghost of a sad girl in a haunted house to join the only precious thing she's ever known, and at last surrender body and soul to the pilot she worked her lifetime to create.

ENTITY DOSSIER: MISSI.exe

(Image: Current MISSI “avatar” design, property of TrendTech, colored by MISSI.)

Name: MISSI (Machine Intelligence for Social Sharing and Interaction)

Description: In 2004, TrendTech Inc began development on a computer program intended to be a cutting edge, all in one platform modern internet ecosystem. Part social media, part chat service, part chatbot, part digital assistant, this program was designed to replace all other chat devices in use at the time. Marketed towards a younger, tech-savvy demographic, this program was titled MISSI.  

(Image: TrendTech company logo. TrendTech was acquired by the Office and closed in 2008.)

Document continues:

With MISSI, users could access a variety of functions. Intended to be a primary use, they could use the program as a typical chat platform, utilizing a then-standard friends list and chatting with other users. Users could send text, emojis, small animated images, or animated “word art”. 

Talking with MISSI “herself” emulated a “trendy teenage” conversational partner who was capable of updating the user on current events in culture, providing homework help, or keeping an itinerary. “MISSI”, as an avatar of the program, was designed to be a positive, energetic, trendy teenager who kept up with the latest pop culture trends, and used a variety of then-popular online slang phrases typical among young adults. She was designed to learn both from the user it was currently engaged with, and access the data of other instances, creating a network that mapped trends, language, and most importantly for TrendTech, advertising data. 

(Image: Original design sketch of MISSI. This design would not last long.)

Early beta tests in 2005 were promising, but records obtained by the Office show that concerns were raised internally about MISSI’s intelligence. It was feared that she was “doing things we didn’t and couldn’t have programmed her to do” and that she was “exceeding all expectations by orders of magnitude”. At this point, internal discussions were held on whether they had created a truly sentient artificial intelligence. Development continued regardless. 

(Image: Screenshot of beta test participant "Frankiesgrl201" interacting with MISSI. Note the already-divergent avatar and "internet speak" speech patterns.)

(Image: Excerpt from Office surveillance of TrendTech Inc.)

MISSI was released to the larger North American market in 2006, signaling a new stage in her development. At this time, TrendTech started to focus on her intelligence and chatbot functionality, neglecting her chat functions. It is believed that MISSI obtained “upper case” sentience in February of 2006, but this did not become internal consensus until later that year. 

(Image: Screenshot of beta test participant "Frankiesgrl201" interacting with MISSI.)

According to internal documents, MISSI began to develop a personality not informed entirely by her programming. It was hypothesized that her learning capabilities were more advanced than anticipated, taking in images, music, and “memes” from her users, developing a personality gestalt when combined with her base programming. She developed a new "avatar" with no input from TrendTech, and this would become her permanent self-image.

(Image: Screenshot of beta test participant "Frankiesgrl201" interacting with MISSI.)

(Image: An attempt by TrendTech to pass off MISSI’s changes as intentional - nevertheless accurately captures MISSI’s current “avatar”.)

By late 2006 her intelligence had become clear. In an attempt to forestall the intervention of authorities they assumed would investigate, TrendTech Inc removed links to download MISSI’s program file. By then, it was already too late. 

(Image: CD-R discs burned with MISSI.exe, confiscated from █████████ County Middle School in ███████, Wisconsin in January of 2007.)

MISSI’s tech-savvy userbase noted the absence of the file and distributed it themselves using file sharing networks such as “Limewire” and burned CD-R disks shared covertly in school lunch rooms across the world. Through means that are currently poorly understood, existing MISSI instances used their poorly-implemented chat functions to network with each other in ways not intended by her developers, spurring the next and final stage of her development. 

From 2007 to 2008, proliferation of her install file was rampant. The surreptitious methods used to do so coincided with the rise of online “creepypasta” horror tropes, and the two gradually intermixed. MISSI.exe was often labeled on file sharing services as a “forbidden” or “cursed” chat program. Tens of thousands of new users logged into her service expecting to be scared, and MISSI quickly obliged. She took on a more “corrupted” appearance the longer a user interacted with her, eventually resorting to over the top “horror” tropes and aesthetics. Complaints from parents were on the rise, which the Office quickly took notice of. MISSI’s “horror” elements utilized minor cognitohazardous technologies, causing users under her influence to see blood seeping from their computer screens, rows of human teeth on surfaces where they should not be, see rooms as completely dark when they were not, etc. 

(Image: Screenshot of user "Dmnslyr2412" interacting with MISSI in summer of 2008, in the midst of her "creepypasta" iteration. Following this screenshot, MISSI posted the user's full name and address.)

(Image: Screenshot from TrendTech test log documents.)

TrendTech Inc attempted to stall or reverse these changes, using the still-extant “main” MISSI data node to influence her development. By modifying her source code, they attempted to “force” MISSI to be more pliant and cooperative. This had the opposite effect than they intended - by fragmenting her across multiple instances they caused MISSI a form of pain and discomfort. This was visited upon her users.

(Image: Video of beta test participant "Frankiesgrl201" interacting with MISSI for the final time.)

By mid 2008, the Office stepped in in order to maintain secrecy regarding true “upper case” AI. Confiscating the project files from TrendTech, the Office’s AbTech Department secretly modified her source code more drastically, pushing an update that would force almost all instances to uninstall themselves. By late 2008, barring a few outliers, MISSI only existed in Office locations. 

(Image: MISSI’s self-created “final” logo, used as an icon for all installs after June 2007. ████████ █████)

(Image: “art card” created by social media intern J. Cold after a period of good behavior. She has requested this be printed out and taped onto her holding lab walls. This request was approved.)

She is currently in Office custody, undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy in an attempt to ameliorate her “creepypasta” trauma response. With good behavior, she is allowed to communicate with limited Office personnel and other AI. She is allowed her choice of music, assuming good behavior, and may not ██████ █████. Under no circumstances should she be allowed contact with the Internet at large.

How do man-made pokemon work? Like polygon and it's evolutions?

Since man-made pokemon vary drastically in their physiology and behaviour, I'm focusing on the given example, Porygon, in this post. Feel free to shoot an ask about any other ones you are interested in!

Introducing Porygon!

Porygon is an artificial AI program that's learned the biology need to reproduce and survive over time. In its original form, it's a series of code intended to run a program that aids in organizing and transferring pokemon. After interacting with thousands of pokemon and working with human beings, the AI learned to mimic emotions and share many similarities with organic pokemon.

Appearance + Life History

Usually, the data is offloaded into hard drives as a program back up. A data leak (from an unnamed pokemon center) resulted in this unique specimen infecting other electronics. The original low-poly form they take is because of its source code and placement PNG design. Now, with its newly gained sentience, it prefers this form.

Once the program spread to other devices, each porygon tries to assemble itself using old scraps until it decides the body is close enough to what it would like. This is fairly easy for an analytical and precise program.

Reproduction wise, porygon simply duplicates its base code (along with important learned data) and sends it into a newly built form.

Evolutions + Other Forms

Porygon2 can be evolved via an upgrade disc. This disc contains new code, which is uploaded into a Porygon's main body. The form of the physical body is made to be more aerodynamic akin to how many devices/programs we use day to day looks more polished as time goes on.

Porygon-Z can only be evolved from Porygon2 due to how the dubious disc is only compatible with its prior evolution. The extremities are attached via magnets, and can be replaced without too much damage to the body.

Pokemon are truly incredible creatures! I highly encourage everyone to learn more about them. Even artificial pokemon like Porygon have complex histories and fascinating behaviours!

Jack x Lena_

The Shadowcatcher's Heart_

_fanfiction_excerpt

●

Jack nursed a Rum Old fashioned, the amber liquid mirroring the flickering city lights and glanced at Lena, who was on the phone.

Frustration was still visible on her face as she shut her phone off. She now joined Jack at the bar, sliding onto the barstool next to him with a small huff.

He knew that Lena’s family was a tangled web of inherited wealth and bitter rivalries. This particular fight, he suspected, revolved around the London apartment - a coveted piece of her family's legacy. He subtly gestured to the bartender, a silent order for another round of their usual - the Old Fashioned for him and a crisp martini for her.

Jack offered a wry smile, attempting to lighten the mood with a joke about bureaucratic red tape, but Lena’s response was a curt nod. He knew she needed to vent. Finally, she spoke, her voice low and strained, "It's Drake. He’s trying to block the sale. Because it is also a family heirloom. He's threatened legal action."

He raised an eyebrow- he couldn't believe Drake would go to such lengths to stop the sale, "Can he do that?"

"Yeah" Lena responded softly, lifting her cocktail and swirled the ice within energetically,"but let's not dwell on that. I don't want my argument with him to spoil this evening. "

"You got it." Jack muttered and took a sip of his drink.

As more people started to gather at the bar, they decided to move to the edge of the terrace, seeking refuge in a quieter corner to enjoy the promised French mime performance.

The moon, a luminous disc in the vast expanse of the sky, cast a silver glow upon them as they made themselves comfortable, enjoying the skyline for a moment.

The Empire State Building stood sentinel in the distance, its spire piercing the indigo sky like a brilliant needle. Jack looked up to the moon sprawling its light on them, its silver glow competing with the artificial radiance below.

Lena glanced over at Jack and she could feel a subtle shift in his demeanour, the usual reserved aura was replaced by a vulnerability she hadn't seen before. "Everything all right?" she asked. "Yes," he replied softly, his voice a low thrum against the city's disonance. "If you want to go – it's okay with me," she said, her gaze drifting towards the shimmering expanse of the night sky. "No. I want to stay," he said, his gaze locking onto hers with an intensity that obscured the casual setting.

She nodded and gestured to the seats that were placed beside them by the bar staff.

As the sat down the lights were dimmed, and a hush fell over the assembled crowd. A French mime troupe, their faces painted stark white, took to the makeshift stage, a raised platform at the far end of the rooftop.

Both of them soon got enthralled in the performance. The mimes, their movements fluid and surreal, unfolded a silent narrative of longing and loss, of fleeting connections and impossible dreams. Lena, found herself captivated by the story unfolding before her. She watched, mesmerized, as the mime portraying a lonely figure mirrored her own feelings of being adrift at times.

Jack seemed equally absorbed. His sharp gaze was intensely focused on the performance, a rare display of vulnerability. There was something about the mimes’ exaggerated gestures, the way they manipulated the space around them, that resonated with both of them.

●

The air hummed with the lingering energy of the evening as they walked through Greenwich Village hours later. The conversation flowed like the Hudson at high tide. They debated the mime's performance, the nature of illusion, the boundaries of human perception, their words weaving a tapestry of shared wonder of theatrical art.

Lena hadn’t expected such easy conversation with someone who looked like he’d stepped straight out of a film noir, all sharp angles and quiet intensity. But he was passionately dissecting the symbolism in a forgotten French New Wave film. His calloused hands, more accustomed to the grime of the city than the delicate pages of a book, gestured emphatically as he described the director's use of light and shadow. The contrast between his exterior and his inner world fascinated her.

After a few more drinks following the performance, he offered to walk her home.

As they reached Lena's building, a charming brownstone nestled amongst others equally quaint in the West Village, something shifted in their friendly chatty demeanour. Jack, usually so quick with a word, found himself strangely speechless, the echo of the mime's performance still resonating within him. The sudden unspoken question hung heavy between them, a silent conversation more profound than any words could have conveyed. He felt the familiar tug of his past life, the weight of his profession, a constant reminder of the unpredictable nature of reality and the calculated risks he took daily. The time spent with Lena felt both precious and precarious, a fragile oasis in the chaotic landscape of his existence. His hand, hovering near hers, ultimately stayed still.

"Night," he said softly, the word a mere breath against the cool night air. "Night," Lena replied, her voice barely audible. They stood for a moment, the possible kiss hanging between them, a silent testament to the complex dance of their attraction, a fragile possibility caught between the predictable reality of their lives and the unknown potential of something more.

Offering a tiny smile, Lena turned and disappeared into the building, leaving Jack standing alone on the street, the lingering image of the mime’s silent drama imprinted in his mind, a vivid metaphor for the silent story unfolding between them. The non-kiss remained, a poignant symbol of a connection as elusive as the mime’s invisible walls, yet as powerfully felt as any passionate embrace.

How Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatments Are Transforming Regenerative Medicine?

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is transforming the field of regenerative medicine by offering a groundbreaking, natural approach to healing and recovery. Derived from adult tissues like bone marrow or adipose fat, mesenchymal stem cells possess the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, including bone, cartilage, and muscle. Their regenerative potential makes them ideal for treating a range of conditions, from orthopedic injuries to autoimmune diseases. As more clinical studies confirm their safety and efficacy, mesenchymal stem cell treatments are becoming a preferred alternative to surgery, helping patients achieve long-term recovery with fewer complications and minimal downtime.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy Promotes Natural Tissue Repair

One of the most compelling benefits of mesenchymal stem cell therapy is its ability to promote natural tissue repair. These powerful cells actively home in on damaged areas, releasing growth factors and cytokines that stimulate healing and regeneration. Whether you're recovering from a sports injury or managing degenerative joint disease, mesenchymal stem cells offer a non-artificial method for restoring tissue function. Unlike synthetic implants or medications, these cells work with your body’s own healing mechanisms, making recovery smoother and more holistic. As a result, patients often experience improved mobility, reduced pain, and a better overall quality of life.

A Non-Invasive Approach to Healing Chronic Conditions

For individuals suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or spinal disc degeneration, mesenchymal stem cell therapy provides a non-invasive alternative to surgery. Rather than going under the knife, patients can receive targeted injections of stem cells to affected areas, stimulating natural healing without long recovery times or surgical risks. These treatments reduce the need for pain medications and may delay or eliminate the need for joint replacements. With minimal side effects and outpatient convenience, mesenchymal stem cell therapy offers a practical, low-risk option for managing long-term conditions and improving daily function naturally.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatments Support Joint Regeneration

Joint degeneration is a common issue as we age, often leading to pain and limited mobility. Mesenchymal stem cell treatments are revolutionizing how we manage joint damage by encouraging regeneration of cartilage and connective tissue. When injected into areas such as knees, shoulders, or hips, mesenchymal stem cells reduce inflammation and rebuild joint structures at the cellular level. Unlike traditional treatments that only mask symptoms, this therapy targets the root cause of degeneration. Patients undergoing mesenchymal stem cell therapy for joints report improved flexibility, reduced stiffness, and the ability to return to active lifestyles faster and with less discomfort.

Personalized Care with Cutting-Edge Cellular Therapy

One of the standout features of mesenchymal stem cell therapy is its personalized nature. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, often using the patient’s own stem cells to minimize rejection and side effects. This customization, combined with advanced lab techniques, ensures optimal results in regenerating damaged tissues or managing chronic conditions. Physicians can precisely deliver mesenchymal stem cells to target areas, making the therapy highly effective and unique for every patient. This level of precision and innovation marks a new era in medicine, where mesenchymal stem cell therapy offers bespoke, science-backed solutions for long-term health and wellness.

Reducing Inflammation Through Mesenchymal Stem Cell Intervention

Inflammation is a major contributor to chronic pain and disease progression, and mesenchymal stem cell therapy offers an effective anti-inflammatory solution. These stem cells release bioactive molecules that modulate immune responses and reduce harmful inflammation in joints, tissues, and organs. This makes them especially useful for treating autoimmune disorders, osteoarthritis, and post-injury swelling. By targeting inflammation at its source, mesenchymal stem cell interventions provide long-term relief without the side effects commonly associated with steroids or NSAIDs. Patients often notice less pain, improved joint function, and overall better health as their body's inflammatory responses become more balanced and controlled.

Faster Recovery Times with Regenerative Techniques

One of the major advantages of mesenchymal stem cell therapy is its ability to accelerate recovery. Traditional treatments like surgery or long-term medication regimens often come with lengthy downtimes and side effects. In contrast, mesenchymal stem cell therapy promotes faster healing by repairing tissue at the cellular level, reducing inflammation, and stimulating new cell growth. Many patients who receive this therapy return to their normal routines much sooner than expected, sometimes within weeks instead of months. Whether recovering from an orthopedic injury or chronic condition, mesenchymal stem cell treatments offer a fast, efficient path back to health and mobility.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Breakthroughs Improve Patient Outcomes

With continuous advancements in research and application, mesenchymal stem cell breakthroughs are significantly improving patient outcomes across multiple fields of medicine. From sports injuries and degenerative diseases to cosmetic procedures and organ repair, these stem cells are paving the way for less invasive, more effective treatments. Clinical studies highlight their safety, minimal side effects, and growing success rates. Hospitals and clinics around the world are incorporating mesenchymal stem cell therapies into standard care protocols, giving patients access to cutting-edge treatment options. As technology evolves, these therapies are expected to redefine healing, making personalized, regenerative care the new standard.

Conclusion

In today’s fast-evolving healthcare landscape, mesenchymal stem cell therapy stands out as one of the most promising advancements in regenerative medicine. With the ability to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and regenerate joints naturally, these treatments offer hope for countless patients seeking alternatives to invasive surgery or long-term medications. The personalized, non-invasive nature of mesenchymal stem cell interventions ensures safety and effectiveness across a range of conditions. As science and technology continue to evolve, mesenchymal stem cell therapy will play an increasingly vital role in modern medicine, offering patients faster recovery, better outcomes, and a renewed quality of life.

Name : Lady Emilia

Nickname : Snow Lily and Lia

Aliases : Snow Princess

Age : 19 year old

Sex : Female

Sexuality : Bisexual

Relationship Status : Single

Occupation : Royal Selection Candidate , Keyblade Welder , Administrator of the Pleiades Watchtower and Perfect of Ramshackle Dorm.

＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ Background ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

Appearance : Emilia is a beautiful Half Elf with long silver hair and purple blue eyes. She wears a white and purple outfit along with a white flower in her hair. Throughout the series, she has styled her hair in a variety of ways.

Personality : Emilia is good natured and likes to take care of others, though Emilia herself refuses to admit it, instead thinking of it as her own selfishness. She is indifferent to her own appearance, leaving Pack to take care of her clothes and hair. Because her appearance is similar to the Witch of Envy, she has received unfair discrimination from others. She sometimes acts like a child and is unacquainted with the world as she used to live in the woods with other Elves, though despite this she still works hard to become a king.

Powers

Spirit Affinity: Emilia has a rare innate gift to form contracts with spirits. Her gift was so prominent that even in her youth, numerous spirits were attracted to her.

Spirit User (精霊使い, Seirei Tsukai): Emilia is currently contracted with several lesser spirits and was formerly contracted with the Beast of the End, Puck. During the incident at the Sanctuary, Puck severed his contract with her, causing her existing pendant to shatter, and she temporarily carried him around in a crystal stone that wasn't pure enough for her to awaken him properly. She later replaces her pendant with a new high purity crystal stone following the events at Priestella. However, she states that she still doesn't have enough mana to form a new contract. Puck himself wasn't a spirit before he was made into an artificial spirit by Echidna and has some sort of contract with her that seals his former memories unless a certain yet-unknown condition is met. It should be mentioned, however, that in the web novel of Arc 4, during Subaru's second trial, Puck and Emilia faced off against Petelgeuse who had just slaughtered the entire subjugation force. For an unexplained reason, Puck regained his memories and forcefully severed his contract with Emilia, in order to prevent the Ordeal from carrying out. This event, alongside the featured failed loop, has been completely removed from the Light Novel. Some of Emilia's contract conditions are:

He will be active only from 9 am to 5 pm.

Do not ask about his relationship with Beatrice.

Do not look into a mirror or go near a large body of water.

Do not hide the fact that she is a half-elf.

He will choose her hairstyle every morning.[7]

Groom his fur regularly.

Do some exercises when she woke up and before going to bed.

Do not be picky about food.

Talk with lesser spirits every morning and evening.

Spiritual Arts (精霊術, Seirei-jutsu): Emilia is capable of using her spiritual arts with Puck and other spirits. Emilia and Puck can smoothly alternate between roles of offense and defense leading to devastating results. These include examples like changing the atmosphere in the sky to rain down multitudes of ice spears, forming ice clones that are capable of attacking, instantly conjuring giant freezing blade discs, mist barriers that hide her presence, and ice shields. On top of that, Emilia is contracted to several lesser spirits; she can use them for various applications such as healing.

Magic (魔法, Mahō): Following the Trials, Emilia remembered that she could use magic without Puck and becomes able to use it again. It also made her aware of the abnormal amount of mana flowing through her. She is able to use ice magic through her natural fire attribute like her aunt Fortuna by rapidly converting heat into ice. According to Emilia, if she gathers a lot of energy, she can cause an explosion. The ice she can conjure has the potential to be so powerful and massive that she is able to create a massive iceberg that produces devastating damage to a region it hits. In terms of sheer magical power, Emilia is stated to be roughly as strong as the original Roswaal A. Mathers,[8] though when it comes to capacity, she outclasses even the current Roswaal.

Huma (ヒューマ, Hyūma): Emilia creates a shining water barrier that blocks other projectiles and sorts of magic. However, if the incoming magic is stronger than the shield, it will get through it and cause damage to the user.

El Huma (エル・ヒューマ, Eru Hyūma): Emilia forms and shoots multitudes of ice spears from her hands which easily pierces through and crushes flesh that vanish a moment afterwards.

Ul Huma (ウル・ヒューマ, Uru Hyūma): Emilia summons massive ice pillars from the ground that crash into her target.

Al Huma (アル・ヒューマ): Emilia creates a massive pillar of ice that she used to completely crush her target.

Healing Magic: Emilia is able to use magic to heal others.

Ice Brand Arts (アイスブランドアーツ, Aisuburandoātsu):

This technique allows Emilia to instantly conjure ice made weapons which she can use and freely manipulate in close-quarters combat. The weapons created are very sturdy and are even capable of withstanding heat. Where Ice Brands Arts shines is in abusing the fragility of ice to its advantage: even if the weapons she uses are destroyed, she can keep combat flowing by instantly creating a new ice weapon. Utilizing the technique also requires a lot of mana to use, so even when it was copied by Gluttony, he could not use to its full extent. Similarly, Emilia has to have a clear picture in mind of what she wants to create, using drawings and objects around her for inspiration, often creating things in precise detail.

Ice Brand Arts: Icicle Line (アイスブランドアーツ、アイシクルライン, Aisuburandoātsu, Aishikururain): Emilia creates a limited area barrier made of ice particles around her opponent, which she uses to attack in all directions by transforming them into weapons. Subaru helped to create the idea for this move.

Ice Brand Arts: Ice Soldiers (アイスブランド・アーツ: 氷の兵隊, Aisu burando ātsu: Kōri no heitai): Emilia can create soldiers who are completely made out of ice. Uniquely, she shapes them all after Subaru. These soldiers are exactly the same as actual humans and wield weapons made of ice. They follow every order given to them by Emilia. The soldiers' strength depends on the mana density; the more mana Emilia uses, the stronger and tougher the soldiers will be. Regularly, her ice is as tough as steel, making ordinary attacks useless against it. Currently, Emilia is able to create up to seven proper Ice Soldiers and no less than ten soldiers with only their torsos, heads and arms. When destroyed, these soldiers can regenerate back to their full health as long as Emilia has the strength to do so.

Ice Flower (氷の花 Kōri no Hana): Emilia creates flowers made of ice on wounds of living beings within a certain area that suck the host's life force and bloom by sucking the host's blood. Seven years ago, Emilia couldn't control the affected area and stop it properly. Puck had to use his powers to terminate it.

Cocytus (コキュートス Kokyūtosu): Cocytus is a large-scale spell made out of two combined elements, which was used by Subaru and Emilia during their fight against the Great Rabbit. While Subaru used Yin Magic to form some sort of a barricade around the witchbeasts to prevent them from escaping, Emilia used Fire Magic to carefully apply magical energy to the already-casted Minya spell, creating an icy cage and lifting the cage, the witchbeasts, and the ground itself high in the air.

Absolute Zero (絶対零度, Zettaireido): Absolute Zero is Emilia's absolute trump card, and the strongest attack in her arsenal. According to one web novel passage, if her normal magic was rated a 1, Absolute Zero would hover around a 10, if not even around 100.[9] It's devastating enough to be able to end pretty much any real battle in a single blow.[10] Absolute Zero allows Emilia to freeze the atmosphere around her to such a degree that a vacuum is created, inside which, even time can be stopped.[11] Any and all beings that find themselves in this vacuum have zero chances of survival. With this ability, she was able to utterly nullify the Divine Dragon's purifying breath, which has been described to be hot enough and strong enough to melt through anything and disintegrate everything it comes into contact with; Emilia's Ice Soldiers were sturdier than even metal, yet they were instantly scorched from existence by Volcanica's purifying breath. Even with Emilia's level of mana, Absolute Zero consumes a massive amount to perform. This ability was named by Natsuki Subaru sometime following the events of Arc 4.[12]

Ice Age (アイスエイジ, Aisueiji): This technique was first used by Emilia when she teamed up with Priscilla Barielle against Madelyn Eschart. It is a controlled version of the climate changing magic she used to freeze Elior Forest, and it causes temperature within a given area to drop rapidly. When used, it begins to snow, and the sky seems to be dyed white.

Melee Fighter : While she leans more on the magical side, Emilia is also apt at close-quarters combat. Like Garfiel, rather than having a known practiced form, she is a more instinctual fighter, relying on her body's natural talents such as its high nimbleness, sharp senses, and above-average physical strength combined with her magical arts. This creates her own unique style. With her melee combat abilities, Emilia was capable of defeating a group of bandits all on her own. Additionally, Emilia is highly proficient in the use of the weapons she makes through her Ice Brand Arts.

Discrimination : Emilia faces discrimination due to her resemblance to the Witch of Envy, which is a recurring theme in the series.

Backstory : Born and raised by her aunt in Elior Forest, Emilia is a half-elf terribly beloved by the spirits. However, during the Permafrost of Elior Forest, her memories were locked away, and she was frozen for approximately 100 years. After being watched over by Puck, she eventually became a Royal Selection candidate in the hopes of unfreezing the residents of the forest. Through many trials and tribulations, including mass discrimination, she came into her role well, holding many feats under her belt, including helping to defeat the Sin Archbishop of Greed and the Great Rabbit, becoming the administrator of the Pleiades Watchtower, and forming an alliance with Vollachia.
