I found it somewhat ironic.

[LegalLoliLover]

Only heroes have the power to kill demons, since most humans are weak and squishy.

But heroes do it to protect humans, and there's not much they can do when human civilization decides that a hero must fall. (e.g. Emiya being scapegoated, Jeanne executed for politics, Medusa losing her goddess status)

It is not a literal power level comparison.

What about heroes of chaos, like Cao Cao, who killed many humans? Don't forget good, ol' Vlad.

So I hear Darnic uses a magecraft called Elemental Conversion?

How does that work?

Formalcraft.
And he teaches it.

Unless someone happens to know the difference between 元素変換　and 元素転換.

Huh.

Man, I wish I'd known that sooner. Ehh, whatever.

[Embrace tophats]

did we ever learn more about Darnic's abilities as a mage other than soul magic and air walking?

[Christemo]

Yes he taught Elemental Convertion

What qualifies somebody to a Master? Do you need to a magus, or is just having magic circuits enough?

And if that's the case, could Saber be a Master?

[Tobias]

Spiritual bodies can't support spiritual bodies. That's why arc wasn't providing any Prana to Len.

[forumghost]

To be a Master you just need to have a contract with a Servant. Usually they are Magi, because you need to be one to summon a Servant in the first place. But in certain situations regular people (Shinji, Kuzuki) can become Masters and act as a Servants 'anchor' allowing them to remain in the world. However, non-Magi are pretty useless as Masters, since they cannot give their Servants Magical Energy to feed from.

Servants are not normally be able to do so, because they don't have a Physical body to anchor a Servant to the World (Medea hacks her way around this by anchoring Kojiro to the Gate).

Maybe if it was a Servant in a 'real' body they could do it.

Then how come Caster can be the Master to both Archer and Assassin?

[Hachibi]

And Saber.

Shes a hacker. (Basically more or less the limits of convential magecraft doesnt apply to her)

[Seika]

And if that's the case, could Saber be a Master?

I mean ...


However,

Then how come Caster can be the Master to both Archer and Assassin?

Medea specifically ends up anchoring Kojirō to the Temple Gate; I imagine similar work-arounds are employed for other Servants under her control.

[Quoren]

I think there's like three separate functions of being a Master (providing energy, holding the Command Spells, and acting as the anchor). Servants like Medea and Avicebron can fulfill the first two but require something separate for the last (the gate in the case of Assassin and the disposable homunculi in Spartacus' case).

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Caster herself was an example too, since she's anchored by Kuzuki but draws mana herself while Atomic Gatorade's command spells presumably went back to the Church or the grail.

i forget. what is elemental conversion? just using fire like tokiomi and such magics like that?

[Dartz]

I'm also curious about this. Is it like turning water to ice or something?

[Break]

Maybe it actually means chemical elements? Like how you can turn one element into another by adding or subtracting neutrons.

This was explained a page ago by You. It's just Formalcraft.
