They straight up say that pocket dimension is "an Imaginary Numbers Space called Dirac Sea"

[madarra]

yup i guess you`re right

[alienncoww]

Was Aylesbury Valesti ritual the reason why mana depletion happened in Extra? I thought Crimson Moon didn't exist in Extra setting

[Comun]

Both statements are true. Though to be more precise, all we know is that the world got screwed up because a ritual that was supposed to be performed in an English suburb on the 21th century was performed in 1970 instead. For all we know, it technically could have been completely different but seemingly equally big ritual happening on a different on the other side of England at the same time as Aylesbury, but we never heard of anything that else matches.

We should get the details of that on Studio BB's second or third game.

[alienncoww]

I think the ritual could end up being a completely new thing too. IIRC in Last Encore, Twice was blaming Leo/the Harweys for Overcount 1999 and I'm pretty sure magi weren't involved with Aylesbury

CM may not be Type-Moon in Extra worlds but wouldn't he have to still exist in some form since Arc's in Extra?

Does this make Dark Sakura the Angel Chromosome-XX version of Leliel?

CM may not be Type-Moon in Extra worlds but wouldn't he have to still exist in some form since Arc's in Extra?

Originating from the brain of the Moon, it is the embodiment of the Moon that after many years became the Earth's touch. This avatar possesses Earth's Authority while also being a copy of the Moon.
It simultaneously personifies the fundamental rules of both the Moon and the Earth, and by putting the rules of the Earth and the Moon side by side it can use the discrepancies as a method of attack.

Q. Is there any relationship between the Moon Cell and the Crimson Moon? Does the Moon Cell exist in universes outside of EXTRA?
A. Moon Cell is something that is only in EXTRA, and it does not have anything to do with the Crimson Moon. However, in the world of EXTRA, the Brain of the Planet who is equivalent to the Crimson Moon should still be living somewhere.

So I guess the brain of the Moon still existed in Extra

Yes but no

大河・Taiga
「TYPE-MOON作品では、作品が違っても世界観を共有していることが多いけど、エクストラの世界以外にムーンセル は存在しないと言うのは本当かしら？」
「In the works of TYPE-MOON, even where the works are different, world settings are often shared, so would it be true to state that outside of the world of EXTRA, the Moon Cell does not exist?」

桜・Sakura
「はい、存在しません。それがフェイト／エクストラがifの世界と言われる所以でもあります。そもそも、ム ーンセルが存在したら、世界観を共有する月姫の根底が崩れてしまいます。」
「Indeed, it does not exist. This would also be the reason that Fate/EXTRA is referred to as a World of 'if.' In the first place, were the Moon Cell to exist within it, Tsukihime -- which shares the same world settings -- would from its very premise collapse.」

セイバー・Saber
「む？ゲーム本編で月姫のキャラクターが登場していた気がするが。あれは幻だったか？」
「Umu? But I'm of the impression that Tsukihime characters appeared within the primary material of the game. Was that a hallucination?」

桜・Sakura
「幻ではありませんが、月姫における人類史とは血続きではないということです。ぶっちゃけると、ファンサー ビスですね。」
「It wasn't a hallucination, but -- the matter is that there is no direct continuity of lineage from the History of Man that exists as of Tsukihime. To put it bluntly, it was fanservice.」

Was it explained where do the wizards get they money from? Not on the individual level but for their society as a whole.

IIRC the Tohsaka family own some patents that the Mage Association pays them for? They also used to own land, but either property management is the one thing that Kirei isn't good at, or he deliberately mismanaged it and lost all Rin's investment properties, which is why she's poor now.

So probably stuff like that. A lot of the older Magus families are descended from Landed Gentry, so they have a base of wealth there to build from.

Of course, you could always go the Einzbern route and start gathering up cursed dragon gold, that never goes wrong.

Royalties from magic formulas are a big part of it, apparently. From Comun's summary of El-Melloi Adventures:

To explain what’s the deal with that we need to talk about magecraft copyright. The biggest source of income for most mages comes from royalties from their patented magecraft formulas. In fact, the main reason why so many mages want Waver dead is because his MO is figuring out the inner workings of other people’s magecrafts, changing them, and then patenting them under his own name. But, as we know, magecraft is practiced in secrecy, so the copyright bills can only be properly charged due to the Carrion observatory in Albion. However, the Carrion can’t observe the entire world, which is why the Clock Tower has other branches, which with their own observatory, allowing magecraft copyright to be enforced in about 70-80% of the globe.

Their money is the same as regular society, so it's not like Harry Potter where Wizards have this whole other economic system. As people have said, a lot of mages descend from old money, but it's notable that big names also possess significant influence in normal society. To give some examples, I believe Lord Trambelio is some sorta politician, Waver to normal people is a university professor and presumably gets paid similar rates to one and Luvia took over a shopping centre after its previous owner went to jail. So long as they're not trading in illegal stuff, a lot of their finances are probably fairly public, just being covered by suitable mundane equivalents.

[Arete]

Is it explained what happened to Ophelia's body after LB2? I don't recall it being bought up but I might have missed it if it was only a line or two.

Can the Grail be used to revive a dead person? I don't think so, but I find myself oddly unsure about that.

[Rafflesiac]

I hope you like zombies.

[eddyak]

The Grail won't grant your wish if you don't know how it could be granted. Maybe if you asked for time travel to save them before they died or something, or maybe used the Grail to pave a path to the Root to grab their soul back.

[Comun]

FGO part 1 had multiple mentions of how reviving the dead is off-limits even to Magic and the Grail, to play up Mash reaching her time limit, but Primate Murder can revive the dead.

[Reign]

Even then I think he could only do it inside Goetia's temple.

[Comun]

And he has to pay all the exp points he build up until the Final Singularity, effectively returning to level 1.
