During the events of [[Mahou Tsukai no Yoru]], it was revealed that she is capable of utilizing the [[Magic Crest|Magic Crests]] of other mages as compensation for her lack of her family's own crest. She is capable of doing so by kidnapping mages by trapping them within illusions and keeping them within her workshop. Because it is pointless to try to copy a magic crest onto one's own magic circuits, she instead has them float behind her taking on the appearance of golden wings. Because the crests are not physically connected to her body, she does not feel the pain usually associated with crest usage, however an extra step must be taken if she is to cast a spell from her crests. According to Aoko, the original users of the crests must be kept alive for them to work because they will not be able to activate if they are dead. It is noted by [[Alice Kuonji|Alice]] that what she thinks what Touko's doing is meaningless because it must have taken a lot of work to steal crests and modify them for her own use and that it would have been more efficient if she just used them as ingredients to make replicas of them and that it would have been possible for Touko to use them to create a powerful puppet.<ref>http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/1993-Mahou-Tsukai-no-Yoru-free-range-discussion-thread-spoil-as-thou-wilt/page46?highlight=mahou+tsukai+yoru+translation</ref>

She is an expert on [[Mystic Eyes]], she also crafted a pair of [[Mystic Eyes#Known common types of Mystic Eyes|Mystic Eyes of Binding]] for herself which are capable of trapping her victims in powerful illusions. She created glasses called {{nihongo|Mystic Eye Killers|魔眼殺し|Magan-goroshi}} that can suppress mystic eyes effects. Touko poured an obscene amount of money into constructing Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes Killers, but Shiki shoved them back saying "Why should I do it to please you?" The reason Shiki declined the Mystic Eyes Killer was the same as when she refused to wear the uniform of Reien Girls' Academy.<ref name="Mystic Eyes Killers">{{#lst:Encyclopedia/KNK|Mystic Eyes Killers}}</ref>

She has a contract with [[Lugh Beowulf]], which she formed by "offering" her hair. Twenty-years worth of hair is significant to a female magus, and needed to form a contract with a beast of his rank. Hair is a female magus' best possible weapon, ingredient, or item, as it can amplify spells and the like. Its worth is best emphasized in Aoko's fight with the [[Flat Snark]], and as one of the reasons Touko lost to Aoko, as there is no way she can plan a comeback against Aoko because she has exhausted her resources, hair and money alike, already. It should have been worth it due to her contract with Lugh securing her complete success, which allowed them to go up against a [[Dead Apostle Ancestor]], among other escapades, without being defeated once. This changes after his defeat at the hands of [[Soujuurou Shizuki]].<ref name="Haru to Tsuki to Sora to"/> Touko says he is not as useful after learning defeat because he is no longer perfect. While more valuable than a novice, he will likely lose sight of what makes him special when faced with magic.

Touko has went under many design changes over the years.<ref>{{#lst:Encyclopedia/KNK|KnK5ToukoPhoto}}</ref> She is shown as a school girl in ''[[Character material]]'', where she has long black hair. She had short blue hair and lavender colour eyes in the original illustrations of the ''Kara no Kyoukai'' novels, but [[Takashi Takeuchi]] changed her character design during the production of the films. He thought of the correct design for her by harmonizing her more with a relatively ordinary living, beautiful big sister-type who's good at her work rather than a magi who gives the impression of separating herself from this transient world.

The reason why her hair was so short in the original design stems from the shorter hairstyle she wears in'' [[Mahou Tsukai no Yoru]]'' due to her contract with [[Lugh Beowulf]].<ref name = "Haru to Tsuki to Sora to">{{reference|[[Haru to Tsuki to Sora to]] - Touko Aozaki [Design Memo]|<poem>

Touko "offered" her long hair to Lugh Beowulf to be able to form a contract with a beast of his rank. This should have secured a complete success until Soujuurou beat the hell out of this werewolf. Also, 20-year-worth of hair is significant. The worth of a female magus' hair was emphasized during Aoko's fight with the Snark. It's a female magus' best possible weapon/ingredient/item as it can amplify spells and such. This is why should Touko lose in her fight with Aoko (in which she did lose), there's no way she can plan a comeback because she has exhausted her resources already.
