What's Sola-Ui's dad's magic? Does he show it off at any point in the last few volumes of CF?

[Comun]

CF materials lists it as "all sorts of necromancies and summons". What we do get to see is him using poltergeists and skeletons.

Non-tl;dr version

He's a perfect spirit medium and each of his rings contain a powerful spirit.

He's covered in an aura of death so thick that Gray immediately realizes that if she, Waver, and Yvette ganged up against him, he'd still easily kill them.

He's framed sort of as antithesis to Gray. She's the gravekeeper putting the dead to rest and he's the evil mage exploiting the dead and taking them as nutrients.

He regularly visits the Tower of London to absorb magical energy from the dead, and owns several estates dedicated for that purpose but the magical energy he gets from that is pretty much nothing compared to what he has in his rings and necklaces. He's compared to a sturdy fortress when he has all his accessories on.

His right hand rings can give him expert counseling on all fields of knowledge because the Eulyphis has been storing spirits of smart people there for generations, and his left hand rings contain artificial spirits made for combat. He can release them as his personal army of evil spirits, and/or fuse with some.

It's pretty much level 99 Fiore in a sense.

Ghost magic is so cool.

Wow, Ruflius is badass. Also, where did he even get Zouken's diary that mentioned Command Seals?

[Takashi]

They changed their name to Lily Emilio so that's why you can't find their posts easily.

For the trichiliocosm stuff there are these posts, the first of which is basically your paraphrased first paragraph and bits of the second (and also in Extra mats apparently):

Here onwards is a line of thought on the relation of the LB trees and trichiliocosms to Nasu cosmology:

I know about it but is there sources suggesting anything regarding the voyager?

[Byegod]

Did they say anything about the ghosts that are in his rings, are they humans spirits, notable humans or what

also how old is sola's dad

[Herod]

I know about it but is there sources suggesting anything regarding the voyager?

While Voyager 1 is outside the solar system as traditionally defined, it will take 300 years for it to reach the Oort Cloud and some tens of thousands of years to emerge from it. Still firmly in our neighborhood.

What do you mean specifically?

What are the story entries in Melty Blood? Next step in catching up.

[JusticeAmongSwords]

The first game had a solid storyline (manga adaptation also exists). "ReAct" and "Act Cadenza" are basically "what if" scenarios or have minor deviations from the original plot. And "Actress Again" is basically Arcade mode with separate stories for each character.

[CompositeGNFNR]

If I'm not mistaken several of the routes of Actress Again kinda contain the main story when played in order, with the rest being more of the "what if"

[All fictions]

Speaking of Melty Blood, I need some clarifications.

The Type-Moon wiki, doing as it always does, had a claim without citation on the Atlas article, the section about the members of Atlas:

Sia
He is in charge of preserving research materials with Kyuria in Sion's ending ofMelty Blood Act Cadenza.

So I got curious, especially since "Kyuria" was not listed unlike Sia. And I found two different translations of the scene saying different things.

This playthrough video has:


While this walk-through says:

Sion: Summon Curia and Sia from the Custodial Committee. Notify them that the clinical pathology session will take place in two hours.

So I guess the TLDR of my question is, which translation is correct? Is "Kyuria/Curia" a person or a department of Atlas called the "Preservation Curia"?

[Leftovers]

保管委員のキュリアとシアに招集を。

The former.

[eddyak]

Curia sounds more like a medic term.

Obviously the other one's named after Shia Islam.

I always forget, is Caladbolg II just a warped version of Caladbolg, thus Caladbolg v2.0, or is it the second Caladbolg that Fergus carved out of wood when Caladbolg was stolen from him?

[Reign]

Pretty sure the former, a Caladbolg v2 that Archer modified from the original.

[Skull]

It would appear to be the original, though how Archer encountered it is unknown AFAIK.

Caladbolg is the demonic sword wielded by the Irish hero Fergus mac Róich in Celtic mythology. The version that Archer projects has been altered to improve its function as an arrow.

It would be interesting is the reason Archer knows Cu's identity in Fate is not from his time as Shirou in a different HGW but rather having been summoned as a CG during the Ulster Cycle and watched Fergus and Cu in battle. :O

[OnesFleetingGlory]

I'm down with a story about Archer's missions under Alaya across various timelines.
