    Is your general question whether anyone can make circuits out of nerves?

    I don't know. I imagine it's a yes, but I also don't imagine how they'd manage without the knowledge, which is probably the crux.

    The reason why more mages don't do this is obvious. It's terrible. Shirou only does it because he has no idea what the hell he's supposed to be doing.

    Tsukihime R
    Roa does it because he has no other choice

    It's not a particularly useful technique. The drawbacks are too many.

    yeah that was my general question, i was just curious, actually have they ever elaborate on the breathing and walking thing since thats also similar to a circuit?

    I have a feeling there's something about in Mahoyo or Kara no Kyoukai, neither of which I am super familiar with.

    Dont remember breathing and walking being similar to circuits, just that just that it'lll let you " nature interference" which is what magecraft does, not circuits

    - - - Updated - - -

    Also, if you just need knowledge not circuits that just means Shinji didnt want to be a mage hard enough.

    I mean didnt he make that glowing potion in the HF movie?

    And we do have items that let you do magecraft, so it could work as a double tragedy of just accepting what zouken said and his narrowmindedness.

    Something more like the tragedy of Nox from wakfu.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Figured he got it from Zouken like the "poison" earring and the sympathetic magic stone that makes it break.

    Shinji theoretically can do alchemy, potions, and other stuff that don't require his own energy. But he can't do his family's magecraft, so why would Zouken teach him anything?

    I mean that fits a tragedy in of itself doesnt it? simialr to the angle i mentioned

    Why are people so convinced Iskandar would start world war 3? I get it , he wants to "conquer" the world, and there were jokes about him thinking Bill Clinton is his opponent. But we're shown he's pretty good at adapting to modern world, and Fgo material states that he is driven by spirit of exploration. So wouldn't he do just that in the modern world? Maybe his conquest could be seen as more metaphorical.

    His passion for conquest came not from a desire to expand his territory, but rather a strong adventurous spirit that wanted to explore the unknown world.

    Iskandar also wanted to buy B-2s, among other things, and his whole identity as a Servant is based on gathering an army. I don't think any conquest of his would ever be non-violent.

    It always bugs me that TM calls him Iskandar, the Arab name, instead of just Alexander, despite retaining none of the more fantastical elements of the Arabic Iskandar Zulkarnain romance.

    Fairly certain Iskandar is the Persian name, not the Arabic name. Also, it is kinda weird, especially when child Alexander is referred to as Alexander.

    No matter how the FZ fanbase whitewashes him, Urobuchi wrote a very jolly, but unapologetic tyrant who thought nothing of world war and the mass deaths it would cause. He may have his honorable moments, but that never changed.

    Yes, but do note that the Iskandar Romance only enters Persia after the Islamic conquest. Previously the Persians absolutely hate Iskandar for obvious reason.

    Heh, well, of course, it didn't, as well it shouldn't. This isn't Persona nor The Christmas Carol. People don't get drastic character changes just because it offends the sensitivities of the current era.
