To hurt a servant in their spirit form you need magical energy right?

The barrier around Ryuudouji no-sells spirits wanting to take a shortcut, so yeah, basically. No comment on the exactitude of the mystery behind it, but I'm sure that on the napkin buried in his underwear drawer that Nasu wrote the notes for the nixed Issei route on would've expanded upon those juicy lore bits.- - - Updated - - -

And to hurt a servant in their physical form you can use either magic, though you'll need a lot of it, or use a weapon that has a lot of mystery to it.

Mystery AND fueled with magic to deliver the goods. Bopping someone with a famous old rock probably isn't enough to do the trick, although I'm sure someone could write a scenario where there's an exception.

[Mcjon01]

So, because I want to be doubly sure.

Can someone point towards the text or material that states how you can hurt a servant?

More to the point, do you need magical energy or mystery

Kind of like asking “do cars run on gasoline or fuel” tbh

Do we know anything about Waver's grandma, except for the fact that she learned magecraft as part of pillow talk?

If you're willing to be a bit flexible with the traditional colour schemes, you can have Okita as the White Saber and Alter as the Black Saber. We'd only need one more.

How dare you ignore Lily as the true White Saber. If anything Okita should be the Aquamarine Saber /s

But for real, Sakura Saber kinda implies a color already, pink.

Would the ancient katana Ryougi was given in Mujun Rasen being able to cut through barriers count as an example?

That was because of the Eyes, no?

I forgot about Lily! That said, Okita's clothes aren't pink (or at least predominantly pink), so we're still missing one colour for our super sentai team.

Touko thinks differently.

""Want to see? This is the kind of sword you can't typically see these days."Shiki, who happily started to bring the contents of the shinai bag out. Touko-san, who had been watching silently until now, stopped her.

"Shiki, I see that is a ancient blade you have there. You can't take out something like a five hundred-year-old sword in here. What will you do if the ward gets cut apart?"

Hearing that, Shiki freezes.

Touko-san says it's a sword, but is that blunt metal plate that looks like an enlarged iron ruler that couldn't cut anything really a sword ... ?

"On top of that, there's even a Kuji on it. Is it 'May those who preside over all warriors be my vanguard" (TN: I don't think this is an accurate translation but it's the best I could do from what I had)? I'm sorry, but my wards can't stand up to a famous five hundred-year-old sword. If you take that out here, all the things in the lower floors will come tumbling down."

Taken back by Touko-san's unusually threatening words, Shiki began packing the shinai bag away again. ...These two, I think it's true that they talked about a lot of strange and wonderful topics while I was away."

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Could the sword be from the Ryougi Clan's demon hunting days?

[SpoonyViking]

Touko thinks differently.

Huh. Neat.
Thanks for explaining!

[You]

Yeah I had that text in mind, but I was sorta wondering if there was other text in a material or something along those lines.

And I think I should have been more clear.

To hurt a servant in their spirit form you need magical energy right?

And to hurt a servant in their physical form you can use either magic, though you'll need a lot of it, or use a weapon that has a lot of mystery to it.

However, a Spirit Body is capable of completely disregarding such physical interference. Attacking a Spiritual Body with a baton or sword (unless they are magical items) will only hit empty space.

Rocks tore through their skin and even damaged part of Ruler’s armor. An attack without prana accompanying it could never harm a Servant. But prana had been loaded to the point of bursting into the sword he swung, and it had even contaminated the broken pieces of stone.

It was the same as a Servant throwing dirks with prana loaded into them… Though, it was the first time Ruler had witnessed of the phenomenon of prana clinging even to fragments smashed apart with a sword.

normal and fighting moves don't affect ghost types

[Menwearpink]

You need magic to hurt ghosts but big mysteries also need mysteries too. Even if you have some magic you won’t hurt say Archie’s with a pocket knife easily. Likewise something low tier like a Black Key isn’t doing much to a servant normally.

So Karna was so ludicrously powerful, even his chunky updraft had magical energy in it? Sounds legit to me.

[forumghost]

But then how magical was the legendary pebble that did more damage to Saber than a literal Demigod?

[Hakuno]

That was his secret Mana Burst (rock)

Mana Burst (Rock) sounds like something a Musician Servant would have.
