Thanks to the Author for the interesting video with the permission of the Author, I want to raise one interesting topic that maybe someone will like, but in general, I am planning to write my own manga based on the FGO (the backstory is not a secret that earlier in the battles for the Grail between heroic spirits, a lot of ordinary people died in cities and villages and in The UN decided to create a division of Army Mages that would confront the heroic spirits that were out of the control of the Masters with various Magical techniques, but as they say, a little before Koldeya had time to take most of the heroic spirits under their control, and the Army Mages were left without work, however, they quickly found a use ) Simply put, these would be Mages and part-time professional Warriors who could fight on equal terms against heroic spirits and every simple person could become such an Army Magician after a special initiation ritual that would give even an ordinary person unusual abilities to draw strength for Magic from the space around them as Magic Chains, they would use their nerves like Shirou Emiya, in other things, they could also use the veins on their body like this only in the Army Mage Magic Chains would be black in color and yes, they would use Magic in this way, it would be very painful, but with the help of various meditation practices that put a person into a painkilling state in which he did not feel pain at all, every Army Magician could put himself into such a state for pain relief and treatment of wounds received in battle and also about the initiation ritual, the initiation ritual itself, after being carried out, was erased from the memory of the initiate, thus the sacrament of Magic was preserved, the initiation ritual also took away the ability to become a heroic spirit, in other words, some dark force would give everyone unusual abilities, remember about the black Magic Chains that appear in a person who passed the initiation rite, but the person who accepted them would be defiled and could not become a heroic soul, because Army Mages were called cursed soldiers of governments, the task of such an Army Magician would not be to participate in the Grail wars, but to participate in global conflicts against the same Army Mages other countries and investigating cases related to missing people in mystical places such as the Bermuda Triangle, in their investigations they would stumble upon crazed witches and sorcerers who kidnapped ordinary people and sacrificed them to demons and other monsters against which the Army Mages would have to fight and obey if only the ministries of defense and governments of the countries of the world their emblem would be a very simple shield on which the crossed staff of the Magician and the sword of the Warrior are depicted, the sword would symbolize various combat techniques, fencing, hand-to-hand combat, etc., and the Staff of the Magician would symbolize various Magical spiritual and occult practices as well as their could send the UN leadership to Koldea to assist in various missions and tasks. Army Mages would use their Prana (Energy) and Magic as weapons and protection; they would create a dense layer of Prana (Energy) on their body as a shell from any attacks of enemies in Magic they would they knew how to Spell Firearms, in other words, they could do it so that it could not fire, the weapon would constantly be clinical and would not shoot with the help of spells, they could pass through walls with their bare hands, catch bullets and even resurrect the dead and more there are many interesting techniques to show in battle, everything would depend on the Army Magician himself, if he is lazy and has learned only a couple of spells and a couple of fighting techniques, then he will not live long in battle among the Army Magicians, the one who survives is the one who knows more combat techniques and spells in Magic, for example, the simplest ones fighting techniques to sharpen your Prana (Energy) on the blade of your blades, this is not considered Magic at all, this is something that every person can learn, this technique would be called Blades of Prana (Energy), they could use some other interesting fighting techniques, launch a sharp wave of Prana (Energy) in the form of a crescent from the blades of their blades, which fell, let’s say, into a tank, would cut it in half, each Army Mage himself would choose what combat technique, weapon and type of Magic he would master and use in battle, it would still be interesting to look at such a character in action, the form of clothing would be 2 option 1 is the statutory standard army camouflage pants and a jacket on the sleeves with chevron emblems; option 2 is simple so as not to frighten civilians with an army uniform; ordinary civilian clothing, let's say, sports pants or jeans and a regular T-shirt, and on top is an army camouflage jacket with chevron emblems on the sleeves like this Each Army Mage himself chose which version of clothing he should wear.
Hello there, user! I took the time to read through your entire comment, and I must say that the concept behind your story is really awesome, and I'd definitely like to see it take shape and turn into a fully-fleshed out concept! I will say, however, and I mean absolutely no offense when I say this, but I encountered a few technical bulletpoints that I wanna bring up for the sake of awareness, because there are some details here that may bother some of the more hardcore fans of the series if this is supposed to take place in the Fate universe: - The first, and most glaring bulletpoint is that most humans don't have the capacity to fight Servants, even with years of training. There are outliers like Shirou and Iori, of course, but the gap in physical ability is much too large for just "any ordinary person" to do. This is something that will bother a lot of people if taken lightly, because I've recently been seeing that even Iori is getting flak for it. On top of that, if the UN started pumping out superhumans of Servant-level strength, the Mages' Association would definitely want to throw their weight into getting that shut down because of how particular they are about the Mystics. - The second big bullet point is that this organization wouldn't be able to simply teach people "how to resurrect the dead," at least not in the sense that I think you mean. Resurrection of the dead, time travel, dimensional travel, and true teleportation are all operations that can only be done by either actual True Magics (otherwise known as Sorceries) or something infinitely close to them such as command spells (not Chaldea-brand ones because those are confirmed to be weaker). The resurrection of the dead falls under the domain of the Third True Magic, while the manipulation of time is a byproduct of the Fifth True Magic. Both of which are lore-wise considered to be actual miracles that require reaching the root of existence to access, and could get the user in trouble with the manifestation the human species' unconscious desire to avoid extinction (referred to as the Human Order) that will send Counter Guardians (think Archer EMIYA) after anyone and anything willing to take that gamble. - The third point of note is that unless you mean keeping the ritual itself to turn people into these Mages secret, concealing the Mystic Arts is a sort of moot point if the individual you're trying to conceal them from is a user of the Mystic Arts, both because they're a user, and they'll be more prone to just happening into "Mystic Arts" situations. Think like the rule in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where Stand Users are drawn to each other. - Lastly, and in my opinion, most importantly, I don't see how the ritual to turn people into these Army Mages could or even should prevent them from becoming Heroic Spirits. If anything, I think that narrative bulletpoint should actually be the polar opposite, where it would realistically make an individual more likely to become a Heroic Spirit, specifically an Anti-Hero. - Also worth noting, but less important, is that Chaldea doesn't have a monopoly on Servants, because of the nature of Servants as spiritual beings. Each "Servant" is a "Copy" of the original Heroic Spirit, as if you took a picture of someone and then printed a copy of the picture. In theory, it's possible to duplicate a given Servant an infinite number of times, as shown in FGO's summoning system, but in a traditional Holy Grail War format, it would take too much time and energy to do. In short, just because a Servant is in Chaldea doesn't mean they can't be summoned by someone else. ...Now obviously, I believe there's room for flexibility on all of these. Time Alter Magecraft like Kiritsugu Emiya uses is a form of "time manipulation," but it isn't as powerful or advanced as what the Fifth Magic is capable of, which is pure and true "time travel" rather than just speeding up or slowing down the way a person moves through time (and similarly there are ways to prevent someone from dying using ordinary Magecraft, but they're complex and can't return someone who is already dead back to life as the Third Magic can). Also, similarly, there are, once again, outlier humans and mages that can hold their own against a Servant, but once again these are few and far between. Someone worthy of being a "main character" basically, not some average joe off the street. It's all in the way you write the story, and I absolutely encourage you to do so, but I felt compelled to reply with this after reading your comment, because this is something I'd actually be interested in seeing, as I'm sure others would. And once again, if you're gonna try and write a story in the Fate universe that people want to enjoy, you'll have to pay attention to the lore "guidelines" that are already set in place, otherwise people may become frustrated that what you're writing contradicts what's already been established by earlier works. Hope reading this has given you some food for thought!
@@bahamutfateburn6091 Thank you for responding to my comment. Resurrection of the dead was not what you imagined; it was a spell that lasted for a couple of minutes to ask the dead who killed him and how; mainly, it would be used to investigate suspicious cases about a party that could give power so that an ordinary person could to fight on equal terms against the heroic spirit, it will be cruel and terrible, it is a voluntary conclusion of a deal with the devil for great abilities, both physical and spiritual, but even having received them, you still need to learn how to control them, and this is another 3-4 years of military and magical training, the most interesting thing is that governments will explain to candidates for army magicians what they are doing, but before that they will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement about this secret; the clock tower mages will be aware of this government secret and they will not interfere in it because the person who wants to voluntarily make a deal with the devil, this is his personal business and no one has the right to prohibit him. Regarding the government and the magicians of the clock tower, there will be an agreement between them that each of the parties solves its problems itself and not to interfere in the affairs of the other side, army magicians will not be enough, only 10-15% because that very few people in their right mind would make a deal to become an army mage, so the clock tower mages would not consider them a threat.
