Yumina = the First Magician
Alice = the First Magician's descendant who is said to be "barely alive"

[fumei]

There’s a pretty strong chance that the First Magician isn’t Jesus. Most modern theologians believe Jesus was actually born between 6 and 4 BC, due to historical evidence, and the user of the First was “born the night that BC became AD.” There’s also a pretty strong chance that Nasu just doesn’t know that

We've always known that whoever the not-that-well-known person who currently has the First is a descendant of the original user, so there's no reason why they would give such strong implications that the original user was Jesus and then go "no it's actually this no-name character you've never heard of who shares these exact characteristics with Jesus just so we can mess with you" rather than Yumina just being Jesus' descendant.

So what you're saying is that Jesus definitely banged?

how fitting for nasu to be a dan brown appreciator

Well God didn't bang but here we are anyway so

"no it's actually this no-name character you've never heard of who shares these exact characteristics with Jesus just so we can mess with you"

I dunno, sounds like something that they'd do.

Hello. I'm a new guy here and I've been trying to find in-depth explanations on a few things. I've been searching the typemoon wiki and other sources(?) for details about certain items and my friends recommended me to look for information here. I have scoured this forum for at least 30 minutes(and still counting lol) but I can't seem to find them.

Would someone please kindly point me in the right direction on where to look? Links would be nice, but directions on where to find them are fine too.

The things I'm looking for are details about Avalon, Shirou's Magecraft (Structural Analysis, Projection and Reinforcement), and Unlimited Blade Works. And no, I'm not asking about this so I can write a half-assed story. I don't even know how to properly write one

It's just that I find it interesting as to why certain people would feel like they had been terribly insulted when others get the facts wrong. Like 'Imma kill you for that' reactions when they get into arguing about these things.

I hope I'm not bothering that much, and thanks for understanding.

Aloha. The OP's a good place to start.

The FSN game status pages, the FSN game proper itself, and Fate/Complete Material III:World Material (servant profiles, theory of magic) are the best sources for that.

Uh, it seems someone compiled the scattered CM3 translations in TM wiki, that's handy: https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Encyclopedia/CM3

[aldeayeah]

Also check fuyuki wiki (can't find a better mirror than this one i made ages ago http://misaki.pbworks.com particularly sections Magic and Magic -> Spells)

And mcjon's type moon encyclopedia collected entries (translation subforum), I think you can see them in TMdict too

But really the FSN game itself is probably the best source.

[VantaBlack]

Thanks for the responses. Imma go check them out now.

hardcore roleplay

I tilt my head questioningly.
Wasn't the thing I used against Berserker fundamental for a magus?
Assuming the structure of an object and passing the necessary magical energy through it.
It's no different from a "strengthening" magic.
But it's hard to pass my magical energy, an alien element, through an object that's already there.
It's like adding "paint I consider red" to make something redder, but ending up with a different color.


Compared to that, it's so much easier to draw using my own paint from start to finish.
I can just draw whatever I want.

"That can't be true. You must be able to do that. It's easier than strengthening magic."


"Hey. If you said that to another magus, they would kill you for sure. What you did was projection, and you completely reproduced a Noble Phantasm. I've never heard of a Faker who could do such a thing."

"I used the First Magic to create the (next) Magician of the First Magic."

Not all Executors are in the Burial Agency, right? What's the difference in role between those who are or aren't?
Or put another way, what was different between Kirei's job and Ciel's job?

[AmADo VII]

to put it simple BA members have harder jobs.

and they have no mercy. if you sent Ciel to Fuyuki she would destroy Matou, Tohsaka and Einzbern by herself.

Inb4 it's his sister

Oh, going full Ken Akamatsu and making her the Wandering Jew too?

Ciel can kill an archbishop without any repercussions Kirei cannot

[Glazy]

Ciel can kill an archbishop without any repercussions Kirei cannot

That's kinda terrifying
Who reign these people in?

[asterism42]

She can. When the game started in Potete dormire, ma nessun rida, everyone was suspecting that Liddlel ended up secretly using one of Alice's ploy to start the whole thing. But the ones she uses are probably different in some ways, since she calls herself the true "New Generation of Meinster", and constantly labels Alice's ploys as old-fashioned.

Literally just got the significance of her name being Liddel
