  • Hræsvelgr (フレースヴェルグ Furēsuvuerugu?) is a giant from Norse mythology who takes the form of an eagle. According to Index, it is a great eagle that devours the dead in Norse mythology. It is so large that flapping its wings creates all of the wind throughout the world. In the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index it is one of the creatures summoned through the spiritual item Brísingamen by Freyja, a GREMLIN magician. It appears in the GREMLIN invasion of Tokyo. It's role was to make a security net around Tokyo Bay to prevent enemies from getting close to Sargasso. It may laso have been summoned to destroy those from Tokyo who planned to escape through helicopters and chartered planes like the Muspells. It later engages Academy City fighter planes in battle.
  • Hræsvelgr (フレースヴェルグ Furēsuverugu) is Hayate Yagami's super out-range [[:Special:Ask/-5B-5BCategory:Spells-5D-5D-20-5B-5Bspell-20category::-5D-5D-20-5B-5Bspell-20type::-5D-5D|bombardment]] spell. Once the beams fired reach a designated area, their energy compacts itself and explodes. This spell can be used to take down multiple enemies in different and distant locations. As a super out-range attack, it requires extremely precise control and sighting that even exceed Hayate's own ability. Normally Reinforce Zwei can provide the relevant supports. In StrikerS episodes 11 to 12, as the control and sighting supports are provided by the Long Arch operators instead, in order to properly receive so, Hayate has modified the firing process. As a result, five Midchildan Circles are used as muzzles, despite its Ancient Belkan system. The aria used for this spell (as shown in StrikerS) is: "Come forth, the wind of snow, and become the fletching which falls from the heavens."
