IKR?!!!!! Even a ruffled curtain would have done the job.Originally Posted by Rafflesiac
Also, ugh...I blame Nasu for this. Rin is absolutely blameless!

So uh in RN, how hard will it be to get Rin back to her family's original level of knowledge and such? Because while I can deeply respect her, showing such depths of her love for Shirou (that or just how desperate she became), I'm just cringing now at just how much she sacrificed there.
And possibly unnecessarily.
Ahh but Japanese people, even after being in 2-year relationship where they've gotten to know each other intimately, are too cold to even do that, in the privacy of their own apartment. Or so I've heard people claim.
Well it's like 200 years of tohsaka shit + shit zelretch taught them + the shit they got from the eldefelts
so yeah quite a while
and the stuff zelretch taught them about magecraft is probably priceless
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, so...Also, Crest Splitting was a thing, unless it wouldn't cut it to help Shirou use UBW.

Maybe Zelrecht would be impressed enough with her guts to teach it again? Really grasping at straws here.
Maybe gaining the 2nd Magic would be enough to make up for it?
I don't think she's even close to that level, especially not in UBW? Again, maybe Zelrecht will consider her act of incredible self-sacrifice as something super worthy of his pride and help teach her magic again?
Well if it's any consolation her boy toy can use a RM now
but not much consolation because boy toy is going around to world for humanitarian work

So uh what was the reason again why she pretty much messed with her Crest like that? Couldn't she have just split the Crest a bit?
Admittedly, she herself is tagging along to help him, and that itself probably gives her some solace. Nonetheless, the regret probably set in late, if at all. Also, her kids would be freed of the obligations of inheritance that come with the Crest, and nobody would get on her for it aside from having recklessly sacrificed her Crest.

What I've been asking for over an hour. The Doylistic answer probably is that Nasu hadn't thought of Crest Splitting then.
It's scary crazy how Rin holds nothing back when the situation comes to expending her valuable resources, like when she used up her family heirloom trump card immediately and used up a command seal immediately on the same day at that. And despite her mentally preparations for using up her supply she remains totally nonchalant about using all the jewels she saved up for years paid for in blood and finances because she recognizes when the time's necessary to spare no expense.
If it we're me and this were pokemon, I'd be the type to risk walking through grass and avoid trainers while I'm down to my last pokemon who's health bar is down to red and poisoned to go to the nearest pokecenter because I'm not even willing use even a single potion if I can help it.

Same, though personally, I would have already spent at least half my fortune on Full Restores because I'd spent months before obsessively collecting money from all sorts of places. Honestly, in Pt I easily got to the max, and in BW, I had at least 4 million Pokedollars.

Wait. Did Rin even know about crest splitting? If she didn't and found out about it from Waver and Reines, oh boy...
Occam's razor says that if she coulda, she woulda. Whether it's because she didn't know it was possible (unlikely if it's something old families have to go through) or it wouldn't have been sufficient is immaterial.

I wish that logic actually applied to Nasuverse decisions, but no, we can never be sure. Also, Crest Splitting is mostly practiced by factions that create lots of branch families like the El-Melloi faction, so it could be obscure enough that a relatively recent magus lineage like the Tohsakas weren't aware of it nor saw reason to look into it.
I think the issue is more that as a 200-year old lineage family, their Crrst might not be big enough to split safely (as in easily fixable for the Crest).
Their crest is also unusually large for a 200 year old family's since they have the crest of the Edelfelts, who were around 400-500 years old at the time of the theft.
Objection your honor, hearsay.

Maybe so, but it is true the Edelfelt crest is at least twice as old as the Tohsakas, and the El-Melloi Faction has split its crest so many times.
tbf Rin was the only member of her family that ever had any actual talent in the first place so basically just steal Luvia's crest and dump whatever spells she can remember in there and it'll probably be better than it was before
Wouldn't she need a new magical object to even store the mystery in the first place? That would necessitate finding either the body part of some PB (very hard) or using an old mystic code (again, not easy), and since Luvia already has a sister, it's not like Luvia can spare another full Crest for her via Ores Scales.
Well, that's why he said steal Luvia's crest and not politely ask to borrow Luvia's crest
mages play for keeps remember
