    I may have already asked this, and if so, I apologise, but does King Hassan let his targets know the crimes for which they're being executed, or does he just sneak in, kill, and sneak out?

    I think it's in the prologue, when Rin tries to attack Saber with a spell?

    His very presence lets them know that they fucked up.

    Seeing their life flash before their eyes probably covers the rest.

    Tell them their crimes? No since he didn't do it for Ozy. But he does need to show himself to the people he's targeting before he can attack.

    It's less he shows himself and more that the person being targeted knows that King Hassan is there to kill them.

    Topaz is mentioned in the prologue as the gem Rin uses for her wind spell against Saber, which makes it likely but not certain that it's naturally wind-aligned. She also uses a topaz to blow up Caster's minions in UBW. Neither case seems to mention a particular effectiveness against spirits.

    - I take from my pocket a topaz with a wind spell stored in it. Then, I launch all the magic energy it contains at her without processing it … !
    This thing, which can blow away a house without a trace, is a bundle of wind spells I've stocked up over time.
    It's one of the ten jewels I've been putting my magical energy into for seventeen years without rest.
    (Prologue, Day 3)


    - Tohsaka jumps out in front of me and throws a jewel at the bone creatures.

    "Ein Körper ist ein Körper!"

    She fills my vision with pure white.

    "----"
    That must have been some sort of release spell.
    There is no sign of destruction in the hallway, and only the scattered remains of the bone creatures are there.

    "Thanks, you helped me out. I rarely use the topaz, so it took me some time to get it ready."
    (UBW; Day 7; Command Spell, second time)


    The only other instance of a particular gem I have noted is that Rin's little owl familiar is made of amethyst.

    - It is the corpse of an owl.
    It is a bird made from crystal. It is simple, but suited for spying, and must have been made by Archer's Master.
    "…Heh, that lady is unlucky. I could have made her my student if she were less talented."
    She steps on it.
    The amethyst crystals are crushed to powder, scattering star-like dust.

    other than what seika said
    the same jewel is going to correspond to different things depending on the foundation you're running.
    That's mentioned in case files 1 when luvia is doing the dowsing.
    get googling some new age stuff

    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.

    Literally the previous page in default page size.

    probably still better than most humans

    Wasn't there something about what Shirou senses is more distortions from the bloodfort than magical energy?

    Yeah found it.

    Fate Route, Day 06, Festival



    ""
    But still, there is an odd feel to it.
    I went through the front gate without noticing it yesterday, but I can certainly sense it if I look for it.
    …How can I put this… it's so calm that even my instincts go numb.




    "Oh, that's the way you feel it, huh? …You're unskilled at detecting magical energy, but you might be sensitive to disorders in the world."


    Tohsaka ponders.


    "But sweet honey, huh? Speaking figuratively, like an insectivorous plant?
    Yeah, that's a good way of putting it."
    "…An insectivorous plant… that image is really bad."


    "Really? I don't think your instinct is off. Because in this school, everyone will be eaten alive when the lid of the boundary field closes."


    However, as others mentioned before, if something is really obvious, even Shirou can tell what it is.

    UBW Route, Day 05, Hanging Death
    "You…!"
    I instantly get up.
    In front of me…



    …Stands a woman in black with an irritating smile.

    "A Servant…!"
    I'm sure of it.
    A concentration of magical energy even Tohsaka cannot stand up to.
    An ethereal beauty and a thick smell of blood.
    I don't know what class she is, but her existence is beyond human

    Is there any basis in the story/profile for that popular fanart comic series where King Hassan is suddenly a loving grandpa? Or is it just the author's version of King Hassan

    Cause if not, I finally understand why most of you dislike those Emiya Alter fanfics when Emiya Alter was introduced in FGO. I get weirdly annoyed every time I see that comic being highly upvoted in Reddit/Facebook since it butchers KH's character (afaik)

    Also does Magna Voluisse Magnum sprout vertically or can it change directions?
