    Since I was reading up on Clock Tower 2015 again, I found something that is relevant:
    I like how you edited it but left the edgerunners tweet.

    Please elucidate me on the secret collab here.

    Haha, didn't even notice. I tried copy-pasting from my PDF but didn't work so I guess it just left what I'd been pasting right before there.

    I suggest you don't make wild comments when you know nothing about the fengshui concept that Nasu was referring to. The whole entry is to introduce 3 things: The fox divine spirit in Tamamo SG (Konjiki Hakumen), the concept of 地脈 (Earth vein) and the relation to 龍脈 (dragon vein) being pulled directly from RL fengshui.

    龍脈 splits into 2 types, Yin and Yang, as the statement itself pointed out (陰の竜 and 陽の竜), with the fox god representing the Yin Dragon (why it can do that I will explain more below). In Taoism's fengshui application, a "country" itself (apply to any country on Earth, not just China) is perceived to be a sleeping dragon, it is alive but never wakes up because if it does then the country itself will fly away duh. The soil is the dragon's flesh, the rocks are the dragon's bones, the plants are the dragon's hair and scales, the water in rivers is its blood and the dragon veins (龍脈) is well, its vein of life.

    However these dragons are simply a part of a bigger system: 地脈. Essentially the world's continents is the corpse of the primordial god Pangu, and thus the 地脈 are literally his veins. Since he is allegedly the prototype human, the veins in his body flows identically to that of any human on earth, and it is the basis of the meridian system used in Chinese traditional medical. Any acupuncture points, any meridian line a human has, it matches that of the land. Because of this, if the human is sick, then the Chinese traditional doctor will try to balance the flow of the Yin and Yang qi flow in that person's body. Similarly, this Yin and Yang qi flow exists for the land itself and any blockage of it will cause bad things to happen. This Yin and Yang qi flow is, I think you should have guessed it by now, the Yin and Yang dragons of the 龍脈. 龍脈 is the FLOW of qi down and inside the 地脈 of the land (the 3 star FGO CE literally explained this exact thing). These are not literal dragons, but representation of the FLOW of qi inside the 地脈. The only actual dragon is the country itself.

    But things are not that simple, because the Wuxing system exists. Essentially, even when you can group qi flow paths into Yin and Yang, they are controlled and redirected to specific locations in the body of human/the sacred spots of the land. To do this, they use the Five Holy Beasts 五霊 as representatives (霊 here also doubles as 霊気 - spiritual energy - of the land, might or might not be used for TM definition of 霊脈 - spirit vein). The five are basically the 4 that most people knew (Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, Xuanwu) + Huanglong. These 5 creatures are tasked with being representation and control the flow of Yang qi/spiritual energy, and Huanglong (yellow dragon) is the central of it all (important).

    But what about Yin? Modern fengshui tend to not dwell on the Yin flow of the dragon vein this is something that existed in the primordial fengshui, because they avoid talking about the dead like hell when talking about this, at best they will make some precautions to not touch the Yin dragon vein AT ALL. Exactly like Nasu said, primordial fengshui uses the fox to govern the Yin flow of the dragon vein. The reason is because ancient Chinese people believe that tombs of the dead are places where smart animals like the foxes can go to train and eventually become the Nine-Tailed Fox yokai. Tombs are sacred places that people never really come around, and it is usually built in the best fengshui directions to not block any critical 地脈, so it is a perfect place for fox yokai to train and become gods, xians once they obtained 9 tails. The white fox in particular is what a nine-tailed fox would be once it obtained the 9th tail after 1000 years of training. Then its fur can turn either black or golden (in this case, Tamamo's original - the Konjiki Hakumen became a xian fox with golden fur). Nasu talks about this in a roundabout way to ALSO explain why Konjiki Hakumen was guarding the tomb of Yellow Emperor when Nuwa asked for her service in Fengshen Yanyi, that even Tamamo was proud of.

    So you have Huanglong (Yellow Dragon) representing Yang (the sunlight), wherever it goes is where the flow of Yang qi (Yang dragon vein) goes into the Earth Vein. Similarly the white fox running in the moonlight (Yin), wherever the fox travels is where the flow of Yin qi (Yin dragon vein) goes into the Earth Vein. Both of these are LINES, because these LINES ARE visual representations of the flow of the dragon veins itself in fengshui diagrams, that is, the flow of spiritual energy (or you can say magic energy in TM's case). There is no mistaking fox running silver line for dragon veins or whatever the fuck, the line IS the dragon vein. Period.
    Brah I am not commenting.

    It is what the CCC bit posted is saying.

    You need to take your Feng Shui book and take it up with Type Moon.

    This is likely the case.

    It would be like how they dealt with "magical energy" in all the texts. Sometimes it is straight up kanji, sometimes it is with ruby text "ether", sometimes it is with ruby text "mana".

    They just toss out the term that best suits the context.

    That just makes me more annoyed than anything that he went six volumes using the same term then changed to another. I believe that the terms CAN be used interchangeably, but they can't be the exact same thing unless that LB6 scene was PURELY for flavor text. Still annoying.

    They could just be the Eastern and Western magecraft interpretation of the same thing.

    Type Moon just threw it in for flavour, then we neckbeards go deep diving on it.

    Rhongo = Weapon that turns you into a Divine Spirit = related spell
    Excal = Saber's weapon that she powers from her DRAGON REACTOR CORE = related spell

    Castoria is packing the turret with a different type of bullet, its a different type of spell.
    That would be an example of
    As magical energy flowed through my master's circuits into Luvia, even I could tell that her internal image had changed. Completely different from the Luvia that had been standing there just a moment before, this Luvia controlled the flow of magic with a natural gentleness.

    Flow.

    That was the true essence of her magecraft, my master had said.
    It was because of his techniques that I was able to fight off those bone creatures at school,
    and it was because of his projected swords that I was able to fend off Kuzuki's attacks.
    …Even now.
    I know that I can reproduce those swords if I seriously follow the manufacturing process.

    "…It's falsely similar to strengthening. I just have to put the start and the finish, separate it into exactly eight sections…"
    Not trace on (sympathy start), but trace on (projection start).
    …The words are still the same.
    There's no need to change the spell if it still works on me.
    First of all, I only know and can use one spell to change myself.
    「……強化と似て非なるもの。始まりと終わりをいれて、ちょうど八節に分ければいいんだよな… …」
     
     〈同調開始〉《トレース・オン》ではなく〈投影開始〉《トレース・オン》。
     ……言葉にする響き自体は変わらない。
     自分自身に働きかける意味さえ同じなら呪文を変更する必要はない。
     そもそも俺は、自分を作り替える呪文なんて一種類しか知らないし、使えないと思う。
    As Rhongo magecraft doesn't fully work for Castoria, she needed to change the meaning and therefore the spell changed. That's reflected in the 霊脈 龍脈.

    Wait, so are you saying that the 霊脈 became 龍脈 after Werner command spelled Hippolyte into drawing the 龍の力 from the 地脈?

    Narita switched from using 霊脈 to 龍脈 after that scene in vol 6, yes.

    Drawing the dragon from the 地脈.
    Dragon likely a metaphor for magical energy.
    If the dragon is literal, Narita does not care about:

    You know how Dinosaurs are implied to be True Dragons, right. What if TM took "Oil are made from dead Dinosaurs" literally?

    I was just reading what you posted.
    And that is what it is from real fengshui like I said. You pick the least important bit of the statement and think you're smart, but you're not. Just stop being a clown for a moment.

    It doesn't matter if it is called dragon vein. The fengshui expert relies on the IMAGE it looks like when determine the strength of that dragon vein.

    - Returning Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a dragon flying back towards the mountains it came from (the foot of the dragon vein).
    - Emerging Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of an animal (can be a fox, a wolf, a deer, a rabbit...etc) running out of a forest, or traveling around the land.
    - Descending Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a dragon diving from the sky towards the land.
    - Living Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a fucking centipede crawling around with its leg spreading.
    - Levitating Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a phoenix spreading its wings.
    - Sitting Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a tiger crouching.
    - Concealed Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a dragon who you cannot see visibly cuz it moves so fast.
    - Rising Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a dragon flying towards the sky at high speed.
    - Leading Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a flock of birds flying off.

    The shape, the lines, the afterimage of the animals movement is what the fengshui master visualize the dragon vein to make it understandable for the commoners. And Nasu is talking like he is one by using the fox image, but in reality he just repeats the common usage of the fox to visualize the dragon vein in ancient time. None of what he said are made up bullshit, it is real fengshui lore.

    Yeah to me it looks like Narita use 龍脈 the same way it is used IRL fengshui as I said, that is a metaphor for the flow of (magic) energy. There is a saying in fengshui about "killing the dragon", it is a practice of China government during the times it invaded other territories to find the dragon vein of the enemy's land, pull it out of the 地脈 and "kill" it to disrupt the energy flow, crippling the resistance of that country.

    You are free to PM me for basic and simple methods of placing things in your apartment to make it comfortable, and you can do it yourself. But I can't make a completely accurate analysis without being there on site, since it involves the direction of wind as well. I am nowhere near an expert, and I mostly just stick to the core basics during the construction of my current house, but if any fengshui "masters" claims they can diagnose your whole place without being there and take all of the variables, in and out, into consideration, they are not masters, just try to trick you for money.

    It doesn't matter if it is called dragon vein. The fengshui expert relies on the IMAGE it looks like when determine the strength of that dragon vein.

    - Returning Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a dragon flying back towards the mountains it came from (the foot of the dragon vein).
    - Emerging Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of an animal (can be a fox, a wolf, a deer, a rabbit...etc) running out of a forest, or traveling around the land.
    - Descending Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a dragon diving from the sky towards the land.
    - Living Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a fucking centipede crawling around with its leg spreading.
    - Levitating Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a phoenix spreading its wings.
    - Sitting Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a tiger crouching.
    - Concealed Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a dragon who you cannot see visibly cuz it moves so fast.
    - Rising Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a dragon flying towards the sky at high speed.
    - Leading Dragon is the dragon vein that resembles the afterimage of a flock of birds flying off.

    The shape, the lines, the afterimage of the animals movement is what the fengshui master visualize the dragon vein to make it understandable for the commoners. And Nasu is talking like he is one by using the fox image, but in reality he just repeats the common usage of the fox to visualize the dragon vein in ancient time. None of what he said are made up bullshit, it is real fengshui lore.
    Bro chill out.

    I am not asking you to defend your thesis.

    Why you so mad man.

    And that is what it is from real fengshui like I said. You pick the least important bit of the statement and think you're smart, but you're not. Just stop being a clown for a moment.
    Dude, YOU fucking posted it.
    I am just interpreting what you are trying to get at.

    Like shit, you are sabotaging your own argument, and you are blaming me. Is this for real?
    All I did was reading and translating it.

    IRL fengshui also use these terms interchangeably as well, despite them not being the exact same thing like I said. Because Dragon vein sounds cooler, easier to visualize with the animal metaphores and has more weight than Spirit vein or Earth vein, since it is the direct energy flow you come into contact with. I.e, if you tell the person oh no don't dig here it will affect the Earth vein vs oh no don't dig here you will kill the dragon vein, they will be more likely to consider the dragon one better.

    You are not simply reading or translating shit. You said it yourself:

    Which is not the fucking case here. Like I said, Nasu is referring the usage of such afterimages in real fengshui. There is no case of "mistaken identity" bullshit because it is intentional. The fengshui users use the fox image to represent the shape of the dragon vein, just like they use other creatures I listed. This is why I said you know jackshit about fengshui but try to interpret the statement Nasu pulls directly from fengshui.
