While I was working on some homebrew for Pathfinder 2e I came across a spell in Secrets of Magic that reminded me of an anime character. I was not that familiar with the character or the anime but the previews stuck with me none the less. The spell is Magnetic Acceleration and the anime character is Mikoto Misaka but I only remembered her as 'The Railgun'. Either way I had an idea for a PF2 rule meme, did some googling and made it. Posted it around a bit; you might have seen it on Tik Tok or Blue Sky but here it is below:
After I moved on...or not. So I dug into the character and anime a bit more...then ordered the first season of the anime along with the first volume of the manga. I have watched season 1 now and waiting for vol 2 of the manga to come in the mail (Volume 3 already did...). After that I had to take a very natural course of action; I built Mikoto in Pathfinder 2e and Hero Forge...

Once I got to the target spell aka Magnetic Acceleration I stop the build; though it a bit funny she level 5 character build if you familiar with the show she from. Should note that there no gear on this build outside of starting wealth; wasn't important for the concept so feel free to outfitter how you see fit.
