[k] @Goredolf The Servants are still severely injured, but I'm overjoyed to see that you two are both unhurt. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Goredolf Unfortunately, we still have the problem of Kirschtaria to deal with. [k] @Goredolf How in the world did he cast a spell capable of nearly decimating our Servants without so much as a “how do you do?” [k] @Goredolf Is that even humanly possible!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes No, it isn't. [k] @Holmes A few rare and notable exceptions aside, there is simply no way for a mage to defeat a Servant who managed genuinely heroic accomplishments in life. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 9] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Goredolf Right!? That's exactly what I thought, too! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes And even among those notable exceptions, the very best they could hope to accomplish is to strike a single blow in retaliation. [k] @Holmes Decimating multiple Servants as easily as taking candy from the proverbial baby is simply not within human capacity. [k] @Holmes ...I took a look at Kirschtaria's file,[sr]from before he became a Crypter. [k] @Holmes While there is no question that he was a true genius, if he had such massive amounts of magical energy at his command at the time, he would have been seal designated. [k] ?1:“Seal designated”? ?! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Goredolf It's what ends up happening to mages who exceed the bounds of genius and pursue singular fields of magecraft. [k] @Goredolf It's essentially declaring them to be such intriguing figures that they need to either be kept in isolation or studied as a specimen. [k] @Goredolf Being declared such a figure is the greatest honor the Association can confer, but it also makes that figure's life very difficult. [k] @Goredolf Mages like that love delving into their preferred fields of research, but once they have a seal designation, they can no longer pursue their research any further. [k] [charaFace A 11] @Goredolf While this usually leads to the mage in question going into hiding and cutting ties with the Association... [k] [charaFace A 10] @Goredolf ...every now and then, one of them is able to have their seal lifted in exchange for agreeing to contribute to the Association. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Goredolf Incidentally, I can assure you that[sr]you can rest at ease, [%1]. [k] @Goredolf Getting such a designation is something a third-rate mage like yourself will never have to worry about! [k] @Goredolf And even if you did end up designated thanks to some freak accident, I can always put in a word with my old Policies chums to have it lifted! [k] [charaFace A 2] @Goredolf Ha ha ha! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 7] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes Thank you for filling[sr][&Mr.:Ms.] [%1] in, Goredolf. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Holmes At any rate, there you have it. [k] @Holmes If Kirschtaria had previously possessed enough magical energy to cast a spell capable of wiping out multiple Servants, we would surely have seen signs of it in records of the man. [k] @Holmes And yet, there was nothing of the sort. [k] @Holmes Any thoughts on the matter, Da Vinci? [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 24] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] [wt 1.2] [charaFace D 23] [wt 0.6] [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci O-oh, yeah, of course. That magecraft he used is the basis of what ended up becoming astrology. [k] @Da Vinci It's basically the primal form of astromancy magecraft[line 2]one that temporarily assumes control over planets, the heavens, and the universe. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Goredolf Hm? Astromancy is part of Animusphere's field of study, but it only deals with predicting the future and observing the stars. [k] @Goredolf There's nothing in it that could possibly cause the sort of cataclysm we saw here. Did you hit your head or something, Technical Advisor? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 24] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Believe me, I wish you were right. [k] @Da Vinci But after seeing their[line 2]Kirschtaria's magecraft in action, its identity couldn't be any clearer. [k] @Da Vinci That was ideal magecraft; it is a type that is even older than the Age of Gods, back when the planets, the heavens, and the universe were all overflowing with magical energy. [k] @Da Vinci Over time, as humanity's consumption-based civilization took control and developed further, every field of magecraft began to decline in power and scale. [k] [charaFace D 25] @Da Vinci Astrology was no exception. [k] @Da Vinci While it once involved receiving power from space, at some point, it became nothing more than a way to observe space. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 3.0] [charaFace D 34] @Da Vinci However[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes I see. So his is the original form of astrology. It draws strength from the stars in a much more literal sense. [k] @Holmes The magical energy that rotates the planet.[sr]The magical energy that fills the sky. [k] @Holmes And the magical energy that rains from the heavens. [k] @Holmes In ancient Greece, the world, the sky, and the heavens were all separate layers, and each layer's magical energy value differed accordingly. [k] [charaFace C 5] @Holmes So we can presume that the magical energy we saw Kirschtaria wielding here would be[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 25] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci The heavens. That is, the laws that govern outer space. There's just no other way he'd be able to manipulate stars otherwise. [k] @Da Vinci The spell he cast involves manually aligning planets to have them form an absolutely ginormous magical circuit. [k] @Da Vinci It's no exaggeration to say he's able to use a bigger magical circuit than any other mage in all of human history. [k] [charaFace D 14] @Da Vinci When you think about it that way, it's no wonder at all that he managed to create a rain of meteors. [k] @Da Vinci Honestly, it's still kind of hard to believe, but now that we've seen him in action for ourselves... [k] [charaFace D 24] @Da Vinci ...I have to conclude that Kirschtaria Wodime has reached the zenith of what's humanly possible, to the point where he possesses even more absolute power than this Lostbelt's king. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 9] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Goredolf ...[sr](Speechless) [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 3] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Meunière Hmm. Okay, but in that case, there's one thing that adds up even less now than it did before. [k] @Meunière If his genius gave him godlike power, why didn't he use it to conquer the Clock Tower ages ago? [k] @Meunière Like, why would he even bother[sr]coming to Chaldea at all? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Goredolf Y-yes, an excellent point. The jealousy-riddled viewpoint of a commoner such as yourself has been most informative, Moony. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes ...Indeed, that is a good point. As such, I can only surmise that Kirschtaria came to Chaldea for a single reason. [k] @Holmes Everything he did, he did to create this very situation. [k] @Holmes Before the Earth was wiped clean, he was certainly an exceptional person, but he was far from omnipotent. [k] [charaFace C 6] @Holmes So why such a stark difference between then and now? The answer is obvious. Back then, this planet was simply incapable of recreating such ancient astromancy. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Holmes Regardless of how refined the Animusphere's secret spells may have been, there was just no environment available to use them anywhere in the world. [k] @Holmes I suspect that is precisely why Kirschtaria chose to grow the Atlantic Lostbelt. [k] @Holmes The Greek view of space and the Animusphere's theories of magecraft have excellent chemistry, so to speak. [k] @Holmes So the closer the Greek world gets to the Age of Gods, the closer his magecraft approaches the domain of the gods. [k] [charaFace C 5] @Holmes No, if anything, it becomes a Mystic surpassing them. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Goredolf I can't believe it... Then, does this mean wiping the Earth clean was part of Kirschtaria's plan all along!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes I'm afraid I can't speak to that. His power may be unrivaled here in this Atlantic Lostbelt... [k] @Holmes ...but he never had the kind of power capable of changing the world before, let alone bleaching it completely. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Holmes No, I expect that was some other being's doing. The Foreign God remains the most likely candidate there. [k] @Holmes And as far as the Foreign God was concerned, Kirschtaria, with his magecraft capable of controlling celestial bodies, was the perfect fit for the job. [k] @Holmes In fact, if you will indulge a moment's speculation, I would not be surprised to know that the Foreign God considered every human other than Kirschtaria unnecessary. [k] @Holmes If true, that would make the other Crypters no more than a bonus; the Foreign God could have done without them. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash That's awful... I can't imagine having such little regard for other people's lives...
