Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Artoria vs Atilla
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
Saber tries to eat Photon Ray.
Why wouldn't she just use her superior beam sword and beamu Atilla into space?

Achilles still has, ya know, his chariot though
And suddenly, it all makes sense.
I always wondered why skills like Instinct and Eye of Mind were distributed so sparingly among Heroic Spirits even though like 90% of them should be qualified for at least one of the two.
In truth, they're really just narrative fail-safes TM authors fall back on when they need an excuse for why such-and-such doesn't die when they by all means should, or why such-and-such managed to escape an otherwise inescapable situation, or why such-and-such managed to fight so well against so-and-so despite so-and-so being way out of such-and-such's league.

the idea of a theory being "fake" and "wrong" in turns doesn't mean anything to magecraft theory.
Astrology that uses the geocentric view of world still works fine.
you can still spam lightning with the "baghdad battery."
After all, magecraft is something centered around mystery.
Justifying the lightbulb like you did sounds incredibly presumptuous to me.
Like "well these guys just used this thing but this thing doesn't actually work-ish but that's there justification for that kinda cos fringe so they could get it in so yeah"
whereas sakurai knew full well what she was doing and why because it totes makes sense mechanically

What? I wasn't saying I had any problem with the theory being used, just pointing out that it was fringe so nobody accused me of actually believing it myself. I think it's quite interesting and exactly the kind of thing Nasu/Sakurai would have a field day with, regardless of historical accuracy.
Fair to say that in Sakurai's world, the ancient Egyptians actually did have a working semi-magical electrical system, since the alternative that a fringe modern Archeological theory would influence popular opinion enough to distort Ramesses' legend to that extent seems rather unlikely to me.
