Ciel's statement is that TAs can recover after a few years even if they are completely destroyed. It was also Ciel who stated TAs cannot be killed by external factors without a planet-destroying conceptual weapon. So that's also something to keep in mind.

Interesting. Still kinda strange how its kinda being made like Arc is the last TA and no other TAs has been seen running around. Its like talking about bigfoot

They are like the Jedi. They likely went into hiding especially with the DAA rising to prominence.

Laurentiz is/was a public figure at some point. He can't be that old.

I would think fake identities and changing names are hardly beyond Laurentis. I mean, he’s trying to obtain immortality, and I sort of doubt he plans to leave behind all church offices once he becomes old enough to be suspicious. There are a bunch of ways of extending life in the Magecraft world, I doubt he’s the the first high ranking church member to employ them.

This is pretty speculative though.

[Dartz]

Barring complete freak cases there aren't really any mages much older than a century or so. At least if they want to remain human. Life extension via magecraft only takes you so far.

[Dark Squirrel]

Yeah if even Lords have an average(ish) human lifespan, I don't see it being especially widespread.

Magecraft did indeed offer methods that slowed aging or temporarily restored youth.

However, through these methods, one could only on average extend life to the orders of centuries. Even magi could not escape death.

They thus transferred their wishes to their descendants. The reason that magi raised offspring at all was to allow their children to inherit the unfulfilled wishes.

According to the sayings in the world of magi, a magus could only devote all of his effort to research until he was 50. After that, his life should be spent raising an heir... in other words, the "next runner".

Iirc wasnt there a mention that Ritsuka's mana is really huge even though his circuit is bad?

[All fictions]

Very big and girthy magical energy

[Clementee]

Does it really ever stated or did I misremember? does anyone have a quote? I don't know/remember where to start.

[Takashi]

I remember them stating el melloi and ritsuka has same potential for magecraft in one of the interludes.

[Noa]

Which is to say almost none

[Reverse_side98]

If waver is anything to go by, they can at least be competent with it. Not that that actually happened cause Ritsuka still cant do magecraft without mystic codes. As for the mana reserves i think its el melloi tier as well.

You may or may not be thinking about how he has a ton of Servant contracts so he should be getting drained dry but he’s not. That being said I think it was said once that Chaldea is the ones producing most of that Magical Energy. There’s a couple other times where Guda just has to have a ton of ME capacity for plot reasons tho like when he’s on the field so maybe it comes from that

What is Medea teaching his ass, he’s come farther along in his ninja training than his mage training

[madarra]

launch interlude with Herk says Herk can drain Ritsuka unconscious and with the "later for the time" confirmation that Chaldea feeds the servants energy doesnt paint a great image for Ritsuka`s mp pool

Chaldea doesnt have everyone summoned most of the time, which of course they ignore during events but whatever. In the base at least they handle the upkeep because Merlin in america i think says they're giving mana from avalon which is pretty asspull but whatever. When they're out on the field at least during during big fights they get external sources. All of which still absolutely tells us nothing what their actual capacity is. Tho i recall Jinako in OC3 saying they can handle 2-3 servants at most. Not mentioning how that depens on each servant consumption

waver technically has magic crest so i would say dude is little better than ritsuka which don't have any.
Idk what sort of difference it would do.

[Noa]

Waver's crest is actually completely blank, Melvin revealed that in CF when talking about how Reines took it for collateral. The Velvets never added anything to it.

[Dark Squirrel]

Plus Crests are different from magic circuits, which are the ones responsible for the magical output iirc.

[Takashi]

Crests work same as magic circuits iirc..

[All fictions]

Not exactly, they have pre-loaded spells in them and also allow mages to survive extreme shit.
