man, this makes me wonder what magecraft was like back in the 6th Century AD in Saudi Arabia. It was aptly name Zaman Jahiliyah or the Age of Ignorance.

There's already a pre-Islamic Arab mage technically, the Queen of Sheba.
"Right, If I remember correct that she was suppose to be from what now is Modern Yemen."
I don't know if you'd call him a mage exactly, but even Cursed Arm is doing some wacky stuff that would definitely be adjacent to whatever we learn of Middle Eastern stuff.

Hell, pretty much all of the Hassans are using some kind of Magecraft.

"Yeah, he grafted the hand of Shaitan which basically the Islamic equivalent to devils. SO, Yeah there has to be some magecraft involved there "
Remember back when people thought King Hassan's Azrael was some form of MEoDP? Good times.
The Holy Church uses a magecraft system and changes the whole terminology to claim Sacraments are a totally different thing from heretic magecraft, so I'm think the works of the Hassans might be something like that.
Like, I think is because the MEoDP was the only frame of reference they have at the time to explain King Hassan NP

It fits with the concept and teachings of Islam like with the whole codification of the Quran and there is a straight up rule that said magic was sinful or banned. Though I wonder how that would translate into the Nasuverse.
I forget, what is the difference between mana and ether? since it seems like ether is present throughout the world and it seems linked to mana in some ways
IDK if I should be asking this here or in the Arcade thread, but did we ever get a profile on Sodom's Beast? Or at the very least, information on her Skills and NP?
Mana is the magical energy originated by Earth and present in the air around everyone. Od is the magical energy originated inside every living being's body.
We don't know for sure about od, but mana was made of True Ether until Jesus/Yumina's birth, and the current mana is made of the regular Ether we know.

Yes for Alterego, no for Beast. Arguably also no for Alterego if we're applying the bare minimum standard for what "information on her Skills and NP" is.
If you think about it, the modern magecraft and the Church rites basically started at the same time.
From the Church's perspective, they may very well looked like that they came up with this stuff all by themselves.
Circuits can be born from faith (just look at Kotomine), so who knows.
I don't think that really does much. It's already a foundation and magecraft no matter what they do. The only thing the church is doing is being in denial that lalalala its not the same as these heresies and magic, that we hate for... some reason! But its ok when we do it.
Unrelatedly a thought going over old profiles and materials.
Perhaps it might come off as a no shit sherlock to others who were more keen and observant than me but going over Circe's FGO mats information I noticed this.
Metabo Piglets.
A Reality Marble of summoning.
Its very possible that stuff likeand various other things she does with summoning, super monsters and what not could relate to Metabo Piglets in a non world-egg use. Similar to Emiya Shirou's projections, or Nero chaos walking around as KAOSU and pulling sharks out of himself.By brandishing a golden cup filled with deadly poison that can alter space, she can also summon mythological monsters.
Its funny because back in the day at some points the belief was that witches didnt exist, and you were the heretic for believing they did than anything else.
