Thanks for the answers...another question...the world, Alaya and the Counterforce are synonyms? are they all the same thing?

I think 7 days makes a decent amount of sense if you consider how large Rin's reserves are. Her capacity is like twenty times larger than a normal magus. Assuming it doesen't restore itself twenty times faster too, it would take a while to restore itself without any mana from her lands.
Like the others said, magic circuit are what lets your body use magecraft, connecting yourself to a magecraft system and being responsible for the generation, conversion and flow of magical energy inside your body and even allowing you to absorb magical energy from the enviroment.
Magic Crests on the other hand are basically a representation of your families accomplishments, letting you access the knowledge they accumulated over generations and stored inside it, allowing you to use the spells very easily and it even notably enhances the power of your magecraft. We know originally they're based around mystic codes(magic items) or parts of magical creatures.
Though Magic Crests come with a lot of difficulty, as they're basically new organs, so they can normally only be transfered among blood relatives, require regular consumption of medication and herbs, and even then are incredibly dangerous to transfer to children after puberty had set it. They are also incredibly painful to use, much more so than regular magecraft, Rin compares it to feeling like your nerves are made out of thornes, and she talks about how she sometimes thinks of cutting her arm off.

It seems the Counter Force sits at a level of combination of the two of some sort. It's meant to prolong the existence of the world as we know it, and that is in the interest of both Alaya and Gaia. However, the battle between Alaya and Gaia goes into a sort of fantasty environmentalism, especially with stories such as Notes. of the planet being destroyed as a result of human advancement.

Then when Archer says he made a pact with the world...this world is the counter force? Alaya?
It's more complicated than I can answer. But, I'll try it anyways.
What he refers to as 'the world' is a bit unclear to me. Due to the nature of the tsukihime/fate split, wherein the tsuki worlds gaia prevails, and in the fate worlds, alaya prevails, it could be that the world he refers to is Alaya. However, I don't think that's necessarily the case. Yet, that would mean that the alternative is that the world he refers to, or that material books describe, is the counter force, and I'm not too keen on that either. I don't have a definitive answer, but those are the questions I'd be asking.

The best way to balance is buff everyone to shit. If everybody has a bazooka, an smg and three tanks, yeah, they won't be as effective or as dispar as one guy having three tanks and the rest carrying bullet casings. Yet, everybody still has a handheld bomb.

You're thinking too hard about it imo, Fate makes it pretty clear it's Alaya. The page you linked does too.
That's what Archer is.Individuals who became Heroes through the aspect of Alaya are said to be integrated into Alaya after death. However, the accuracy of this statement is uncertain.
These individuals are also called Counter Guardians. The emphasis here is “Counter,” because they have no autonomy and will only activate in response to an event.
Oh, I see. I think the paragraph about both Alaya and Gaia messed me up a bit.

Yep...I understand that but in the original visual novel Rin says that Archer made a pact with world, that's why I'm confused about it and the reason that I asked about if those three concepts are synonym...
"The World" is a general word used to refer to Gaia, Alaya or both. You have to differentiate it from context. It's like when they call Servants Heroic Spirits. They're not, Servants are a facet of the true Heroic Spirit squeezed into a Class container, but they use it as synonyms in prose anyway.
Archer made a pact with Alaya and became one of its Counter Guardians.
What's the difference between Ophelia's mystic eye and Musashi's eyes? Seems like they do mostly the same thing.
So Counter Force, Alaya and "The World" are pretty much the same thing...
Ophelia's eye is "This 1 thing wont fucking happen EVER"
Musashi's is "This 1 thing will happen"
Ophelia will be trapped in a room with combustible toxic gas and make sure it wont ignite, but she'll still choke to death
Musashi will say,i will get out of this room and she'll succeed despite the gas exploding, and choking her, and Sasaki Kojiro appearing out of nowhere and pelting her with molotovs

the essence or embodiment of a specified quality.
"he was the soul of discretion"
That being "royal selection". If famous swords had souls in the spiritual sense, they'd be Heroic Spirits. Also I contest the "and" conjunction there.
