    something i came acrosswhile mucking old text

    what excalibur is said to do, the convergence acceleration thing, is a a magic on a divine level

    and what the holy sword that kick's white titan ass do is using pure power to do sword beam, since magic got mana drained by the white titan

    so maybe theyre actually 2 very different thing fundamentally (?)

    Aoko uses prana bursts too
    prana bursting can be considered magecraft
    still hurts the titian

    it's the same thing

    can it tho
    it doesnt involve "ritual born of intelligent design", far as i know its just a burst of expelling maryoku
    so just purefirepower so make sense for it to hurt a titan with mana drain
    unlike excaliblast which accelerates and multiply the maryoku before expelling it so i dont think its the same thing

    Then what's the point of making excalibur at all since it's a sword that amplifies.
    Everyone should have just raised their hands to give energy to caveman goku for a spirit bomb

    dunno the reason, i just look at the text and "hey wait this is curious"

    like, excalibur, a sword that amplifies, was explicitly said to be divine level magecraft, which was said to be ineffective against mana drain titan

    which lead me to believe the caveman holy sword is actually a fundamentally different thing

    i mean the line 神霊レベルの魔術行使を可能とする聖剣 is on GO mats, the most recent info so dunno if this be a editing mistake or an actual foreshadow

    I think the light beam is the only thing that matters. Proto Excalibur's beam reminded Ozy about Moses splitting the Red Sea and we have this in Excalibur's entry from Extella:

    Notice how it said 同質. Headcanon: Since Proto Excalibur description called it the holy sword which saved the planet perhaps that Excalibur is the Excalibur 12000 BCE and Artoria's Excalibur is MKII version of it.

    oh so probably the result of pure power light slash from caveman holy sword is of same quality of the result of accelerated light slash from excalibur, so result is of same quality but the process is fundamentally different.
    that made sense

    oh that what you meant

    i thought you mean aoko actually pranaburstpunch a white titan

    yeah so prana burst/what aoko do doesnt really sound like magecraft, and kinda different than excaliblast divine level mage craft of acceleration

    It's still magecraft much in the same way Shirou's Reinforcement is. It's "magecraft" in that you have to activate your circuits and move magical energy. Only instead of just infusing an object, you're also ejecting it.

    Not a magecraft as in "a ritualistic manner born of intelligent design" that got no sell-ed by mana drain

    is what my point is

    in prisma Heroyama has this thing about pure magical energy breaking through MR
    maybe he was just streets ahead in this TM game
    and the only thing he got wrong was it being MR, it should have been MA
    :OOOOO

    ?

    It's just, you know, a basic level application of it. Like how 2+2 is still math, while Hawking's work is also math.
