Interesting how Van Fem first appears invisible. Is that a precaution on his part? And pretty neat about that window turning sunlight into moonlight conceptually.

He's not invisible by default, he was just sneaking out of the office at that specific moment. Not clear if hiding from his own staff or from a customer though.

I did always wonder why the Clock Tower had PE class.
I've also wondered before if Blackmore is Gray's official last name, cool to finally get an answer.
So she still only has "Gray" on her passport and official documentation, huh.
I wonder if there's any relationship to EXTRA's Dan Blackmore.

Gray Velvet!
The Blackmore Cemetery Blackmores have ties to the British government so I've wondered this too.
To put Rin and Luvia in skin-tight athletic wear.
Oh, maybe this is a good time to ask. So, I was discussing TM lore with a friend who's somewhat dipped their toes in it, and like... we decided, although maybe our perspective was wrong - if magi can do something as complicated as forgoing breathing, eating, sleeping, using the bathroom for extended periods of time, they... should be able to simulate the effects of exercise without exercising, right? I'm concerned that we were approaching the problem as two Sports Science Enthusiasts rather than appreciating the Deep RL Magic History-based Lore behind why they can control all those other bodily functions, but not getting and staying fit.
tl;dr do you think magi NEED to exercise to be exercised, I guess

I'm pretty sure they do. The Church's training regime is extremely demanding to the degree Noel doesn't think she'd survive it again.
Most Association magi are bookworms though, so they just don't train as hard.
The priest was waiting for the arrival of the princess, who was only an enemy of all of them.
For the priest, the golden princess was the one and only main heroine.
Everyone else was unworthy of his respect, no matter how strong they were.

How does the standard Reinforcement work as an answer to your question?
That depends on whether Reinforcement comes with a six-pack

As an adopted, or is it the other way around....daughterstudent
Iirc, reinforcement has a physical cost for less adept mages, so unless you're the person equivalent of a show poodle, working out would probably have more benefits than just leaning on your magecraft, right? We just get a lot of examples of mages who are themselves some special kind of freak, but there's also plenty examples of the narrative then saying "and they did this all without magecraft, because they're so physically adept and strong and cool."
I always imagined reinforcement worked kind of like an adrenaline response you could actually control, personally.

I always thought Reinforcement had a better effect the more physically fit you were, which is why people like Luvia and Rin train so hard.
lol adoption is what I meant, yes
Worst thing I've read all week.
Sanda won't rest until the entirety of the franchise is a self-recursive incestuous slurry of constantly referencing every previous installment forever until the only characters and events that matter are the ones we've already seen. This is the Fate/Grand Clap plan.
