    I vaguely remember Nasu talking about changing society so it'll work, so probably not blood.

    All you, you who have earned the right to use the Moon Cell, have to do is tell it this:
    "Recreate my ideal future."
    The Moon Cell should quickly move things forward so that the Earth will take the shape of that future.
    For the Moon knows how, it knows all that is to be done to make it so.

    You might say “I want all the girlies in the world to be mah little sister" for example, and then in about ten years, it would be assumed that society on Earth would be reorganized in that fashion.
    Or the Earth as a whole might be managed so that an apparatus that can make that dream “seem real” would be created.

    There is nothing that humans can’t realize as long as it lies within the scope of human imagination.
    Because whatever kind of illusion it is, however much of a pipe dream it is, there is a way to experience it.

    A VR device showing you a world where the Moon Cell doesn't exist.

    Wow these questions sure are easy.

    What if you asked the moon cell to show you a timeline where you wanted to find the philosopher's stone but not use it?

    Is there any proof of it?

    For instance, does Rin knowing Gandr make Luvia's Gandr any weaker since they both draw from the same spell?
    The only proof we have is Touko's lecture.
    Sorcery was originally magic too. In short, there was no question that the strength was pulled out from the origin that was its source. Should we imagine for a moment that there was something along the lines of a 'mystery that makes you rich'? Let's say that this has a strength of 10. If only one person knows it, they can use the entire force of 10 of its power. But if two people know it, that it gets halved into two units of 5 and gets used like that. See, it's gotten weaker, hasn't it? The way of expressing it may be different, but I think that this is a fundamental rule in regards to everything in this universe."
    For stuff like Gandr for example, I think the strongest a person could use would be like a 3 but in the source there's 30. So then if 10 people drew on 3 it would be fine. Since 3 is the max for that spell. However if there was 20 people, each could only draw on 1.5. That's my speculation though, that maybe a person can't actually utilize the entire power behind something so then it's fine.

    You know Aksys's TL wasn't een really bad either, in the sense that there were parts that basically told you how it was.

    kirei even straight out says, the mooncell is the omnipotent eye of of God which not only observes that which is but that which might be, and can bring about the "might be". Which is basically the point. For one with full control of the mooncell, the use of heaven's voyeur allows one to bring about pretty much any situation they might desire, through one fashion or another.

    Well, except when Aksys told you things that were completely made up.

    Okay Aksys did you really have to write all that? Trap Master would have sufficed.

    They translated Lancelot dealing a wound to Gawain who would later die from being struck at the same place (by Mordred and co) to Lancelot dealing a fatal wound to Gawain.

    "It was in the Battle of Camlann that Sir Gawain fell, slain by Sir Lancelot."

    ^Pre-Aksys this is actually saying that first thing about the wound.^

    In Aksys' translation they had:

    "It was in the Battle of Camlann that Sir Gawain fell, slain by Sir Lancelot."

    But the original was:

    ガウェイン卿は、
    アーサー王最後の戦いであるカムランの丘にて、
    ランスロット卿に受けた古傷を打たれ死亡したとされる。

    Which really means:

    "Sir Gawain died in the Battle of Camlann, after being struck in an old wound inflicted by Sir Lancelot."

    And Siriel is mad because he believed it.

    Although his hostility inevitably led to his death at the hands of Sir Lancelot, he realized that it was his own lack of virtue that led to Sir Lancelot's betrayal and the defeat of King Arthur at the battle of Camlann Hill.
    ガウェイン卿はアーサー王最後の戦いであるカムランの丘で、ランスロット卿に受けた古傷を敵に打たれ死亡し たとされる。
    Sir Gawain died at King Arthur's final battle at the Hill of Camalann, where he received a blow by an opponent where an old wound caused by Sir Lancelot was.

    Ah sniped.

    There's also the Voyager of the Storm thing.

    Also I believed Yew Bow affected mental impurities before arai told me it didn't.

    I have a question about Tamamo.

    "She can beat the crap out of 100 heroes when she is summoned as an Evil Spirit or Feral Spirit."
    What does it mean by heroes? Servants, counter guardians, or do we have no idea?
