Lessons in Magecraft 17 - Mystic Eyes 

I like to have fujinos eyes of distortion

Mystic Eyes of Death Perception all the way

Mystic eyes of petrification, but a version I could control like younger Medusa.

Miyamoto Musashi's Heavenly eyes: it would be great if I could make "finishing my college work" an inevitable outcome. Glam Sight: fairy eyes is pretty good too, with the whole "perceive and adapt to any information that can't be normally processed by the brain."

MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN LOL😂

You’ll never lose against the Mystic Eyes of Petrification! Never blink again!

Deadly

Dude balor’s mystical eyes can apparently kill you just by looking at you. Really with mystic eyes like petrification/distortions, you wouldn’t even be able to look at them without dying.

If it’s just a staring contest I’d be willing to take on male Shiki, using his eyes keeps damaging his brain so I’d feel a little confident

Me: "The Origin must be nice, for letting mortals obtain great power. A shame it's all half baked in the end." *Closes a book as entire dimensions ceases to exist behind me*

Or just don't mess up Magi in general...

Shh...🤫 We always saw everything ever since.

@@Amss-ze5cr I know but thanks

Use a charm (Trisha fellows) or rune magecraft to stop the effects

That's true

Who are the first three?

@@seth9655 Assassins.

@@seth9655 Hassan of the Cursed Arm, Jack the Ripper and Charlotte Corday. Hassan for being a good bro in Camelot, sacrificing his life to give us even a slight advantage in Shinjuku and being a damn good Assassin as fits the name. Jack for being a sweet girl (when she’s not killing people), for being kind to Nursery Rhyme, Jeanne Lily and Bunyan, and she’s also a very good Assassin. Charlotte doesn’t let being weak keep her from doing her very best, she does everything she can to resist killing us under Odysseus and she’s generally just very kind and cheerful. I like Shiki because she deeply respects the value of human life, her love for Mikiya and Mana is touching and she’s really good with her mystic eyes. Fifth up is Assassin of Paraiso AKA Mochizuki Chiyome. She’s also very polite, loyal, cute and skilled, not to mention I hated how she was disrespected by Caster of Limbo in Shimōsa, along with the other Blademasters. (Yeah, guess who’s at the bottom of my Caster and Alter Ego list, along with Archimedes from Extella?) Sixth is Mata Hari. She is very hot and pretty, and I am proud to have max ascended her. She also does her best despite her meager abilities and I do want to grant her wish for a happy, loving family. (If you want a fanfiction where she gets one, try Fragments of Chaldea, by Ghostxavier. It’s sadly dead now, but maybe given enough life and support, we can bring it back?) Seventh is the ONLY Assassin on this list who is NOT in FGO, False Assassin from Fate/strange Fake. She is a namelessly Zealot who was a candidate as the last to take the title of Hassan-I-Sabbah, but was pushed aside for Hundred-Faced Hassan. I respect her a lot for her devout faith, and she gets big props for killing a Dead Apostle who is also her Master and tether to the present (too bad he came back). Eighth is Fūma Kotarō. He’s also very loyal to Fujimaru, and very kind and loving to his mother, Danzo. He’s also cute for being a dorky fanboy, a skilled ninja and he helped defeat Caster of Limbo🖕. Ninth is Hassan of Serenity. She is beautiful and endearing, and she’s very devoted to her allies. Plus her Zabaniya is quite powerful, though I wish she could touch more people. Tenth is Lady Kato Danzo herself. Loving mother, devoted ninja, also helped defeat Caster of Limbo 🖕🖕🖕. Plus she’s very interesting as a mechanical doll, and I wonder what it’s like to live in that state. I hope my reasons are to your liking. Next: Avengers 1. Jeanne d’Arc (Alter) I liked the original Holy Maiden, and I like her darker counterpart just as much. While she’s definitely badass and intimidating, and she’s also pretty cute as a tsundere. I do hope those lucky enough to get her make her a very happy woman. 2. Edmond Dantès Our guardian fallen angel. He has been a dear ally through thick and thin. Not to mention those flames of his are quite powerful, and may be effective in snuffing out certain...enemies. 3. Antonio Salieri Mozart’s rival who was shafted by fate. It saddens me that he will forever be linked to the rumors of Mozart being murdered. Perhaps his time in Chaldea will be able to provide a brief respite to his torment. I can only hope so. 4. Demon King Nobunaga The mighty warlord of Japan. Her strength and charisma are impressive. I must admit, Kippoushi is the one I’m most interested in. 5. Space Ishtar Another ancient goddess possessing Rin Tohsaka (that girl is certainly popular). I must admit, some of Ishtar-Astoreth’s lines are very cute, and her abilities are impressive. So this is what a goddess of the Servant Universe is capable of? 6. Kingu He’s not even playable, yet his initial devotion to his mother is commendable, I was genuinely saddened by how callously Tiamat and the Lahmû were in throwing him away, and I greatly enjoyed his interactions with Gilgamesh. Kingu will never replace Enkidu, but hopefully someday he’ll get a story of his own. 7. Gorgon The fallen goddess, the end of the individual known as Medusa. I am sorry to see someone who had been kind and devoted become cruel and bloodthirsty. Even so...Ana never stopped fighting for us until the very end. Thank you, little one. I hope you are able to find peace one day. 8. Angra Mainyu Guess who happens to be the ONLY Avenger I actually have on my team? 🤦 I liked his sacrifice for Bazett, but his combat prowess REALLY sucks. 9. Hessian Lobo I don’t know why these two didn’t catch my attention as much. I like them, but they don’t hold as fond a spot in my heart. 10. Taira no Kagekiyo I’m afraid I know too little about her to get very attached. As I learn more, perjury she will rise higher up the list.

Next Rulers 1. Jeanne d’Arc Predictable? Perhaps, but she is beloved for a reason. Beautiful, graceful, kind, brave and wise. She epitomizes the traits of a leader. Plus, I like her chemistry with Sieg. 2. Himiko Cute and endearing off the clock, wise and regal when acting as Queen, tough as nails regardless. I was surprised by how quickly I grew to like her. 3. Saint Martha (Swimsuit) What can I say? She’s hot, and she’s pretty scary as a brawler. She’s also a good balance between composed elegance and down to Earth farm girl. 4. Astraea I’m not fond of this version of Luvia’s appearance, but she’s still wise and regal, befitting the goddess of justice. She is also kind towards children, especially three in particular. 5. Sherlock Holmes The great detective. He has been a valued ally during the Lostbelts, he’s pretty good with his Baritsu, and his Noble Phantasm has some very interesting ways it could be used. 6. Quetzalcoatl (Samba/Santa) I don’t know why I don’t really care for her outfit. Perhaps it’s TOO stripperific for my liking. I do appreciate how brave she is, and her real dedication to lucha libre. 7. Artoria Pendragon (Ruler Swimsuit) Another regal, elegant monarch. Afraid I don’t have much else to say. 8. Caren C. Hortensia She’s cute, but her sadism is a bit much, though it can be entertaining. Maybe we’ll one day see her beat up her dad. 9. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada I certainly respect his dedication, and his desire for world peace, but some of his methods are pretty ruthless. And I don’t like how he betrayed us in his interlude. 10. Qin Shi Huang Di He’s rather...odd-looking, and fairly oppressive, but I do respect his power and willingly to concede defeat. Third up: Shielders 1. Mash Kyrielight Was there ever any doubt? I will always be grateful to my sweet Kouhai. I am so glad to be her master. 2. Tachie A tragic girl whose life was stolen away. I hope there will come a chance to save her. 3. Achilles He’s a good guy and really strong as a Rider. I have no reason to believe he’d be any different as a Shielder. 4. Leonidas I I don’t even know if he truly QUALIFIES as a Shielder, but I am very grateful for what he did as a Lancer, and I’d be happy to have him as a coach for Mash. 5. Galahad He’s a jerk. I am disappointed by how much I came to dislike this man after Moonlight/Lostroom. We stopped Goetia from incinerating the Earth, and that gave the Alien God a chance to invade? And that’s apparently OUR fault? We should have just laid down and died? EXCUSE ME?! F*** YOU!!

Death Perception is rather limited, but like the fabric of existence. Entities beyond it can overwrite what mortals do. Meaning... Those eyes will fail against entities who exceed dimensions, and I don't mean simple dimensional transit.

@@absolstoryoffiction6615 well I am looking at applying it in our world...not one where otherworldly beings exist.

@@Ephideltrance Well... To flip the coin... Not omnipotence is as humans understand it to be.

@@absolstoryoffiction6615 I am curious since you are familiar. Is the root the source of everything in the multiverse or just the universe? To put it better...does each universe have its own root or there is only 1? And if there is only 1 root for the multiverse....shouldn't that mean that the mystic eyes of death perception should be able to destroy any and everything?

@@Ephideltrance In regard to Fate... The author probably wanted the Origin to be a singularity for the Nasuverse. In regard to reality (our real world and beyond)... The Origin is simply a countermeasure to ensure the eternal existence of all things. The living and humanity, are simply products of the many artifacts created to ensure everything stayed the course into eternities to come. Which is why Death Perception is limited as we scale up in existence. ... What am I saying?... It's better to just keep this in fiction. Honestly, humans won't even make it to the World's End.

True

How is your comment 5 months old when the video came out an hour ago.

@@antoniofaulkner2423 if you pay money you can get videos earlier

@@antoniofaulkner2423 that person is a stand user too. Lol

Yeah, the power gap between various ones can be HUGE

Depends... Anything is possible.

It would work if they created a perfect digital copy with spiritrons or something like how zabaniya delusion heartbeat creates a copy that when destroyed destroys the real thing because the world cannot tell them apart

Ophelia's eye was cultivated through painful procedures so yeah it can be forced.

Same I can t claim that I wouldt use the mystic eyes of misfortune to put misfortune on people I don’t like , I wouldn’t claim that wouldt use mystic eyes of infinite possibility to cheat on test P.S all said mystic eyes been made up by me

"My origin is the Nothingness and my eyes are Oblivion. Maker of Gods and Destroyer of Dimensions. I am the Origin, given body and soul. But if I am wrong, then all shall be Void. In the end, my Fate is inevitable."... It's not a quote but my stance on the matter, should the world of Fate be real.

@@absolstoryoffiction6615 but still badass long line

@@shadowclaw7210 If Fate was real... The Counter Force will need armadas to stall my plans. But I prefer a conversation rather than to fight a one sided war.

@@absolstoryoffiction6615 you think you have enough power and motivation to feed Artoria the fucking Pendragon the king of black hole stomach

She kind of is. The Mystic Eyes she uses are the weakest type a mage can use since all mages are trained to resist them and they are not natural eyes, but something developed artificially. It’s like being impressed of Ciel’s eyes. Sure, she can trick humans into believing her words but the illusion can be broken easily enough. And you are correct and incorrect. The Mystic Eyes of Distortion are Mystic Eyes regardless of their being born from her power as an Esper. Let’s not forget Natural Mystic Eyes are all born from the particular characteristics of the possessor of the Eyes. Her psychic powers merely reached such a level that her eyes equaled magecraft. By that point the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are not even truly “Mystic Eyes”, they are just a very specialized version of the Psychic Pure Eyes.

@@lenleon3699 that's what I mean. Nasu litteraly said fujino doesn't have mystic eyes it's more so her own powers that fall into a similar category like in servant cases ex rank skills where they break the rules and can only be category of thier own but just put in one place like gilgamesh being Gilgamesh and only being archer because he threw his swords. Even ccc shows his class is gilgamesh not archer. Another example is fujino goes basically blind and can still use her powers as mystic eyes need to "persceive" what they see to attack as Medusa having snek eyes is not an auto win same as shiki needing to be up close to use them much like fujino and her powers as shiki can see the lines green and red when they fought. Ciel is a whole nother can of worms as it's more so suggestion on top of her powers which came later than fujino so it doesn't matter for her power comparison. Fujino came from a mystic family so she would have her origin of her powers in that much like Kerry being cutting and tieing or Shirou being swords and for another example the priest in case files lost his eyes and couldn't use the sight powers but fujino without vision can still bend things showing its not mystic eyes.

@@ivanbluecool Anyway, my point was that for general explanations Nasu still labels it a Mystic Eye, same as how for story purposes mages treat Yu as a True Ancestor even though she is technically a different being (an elemental born from water). Since this first video deals on the general idea behind Mystic Eyes labeling Fujino’s as one is fine. It is when we go into the details, details which even the novels don’t bother with at times, that this things start “mattering”. Nasu loves to add extra explanations in material books but a good chunk of them are just fluff for fans to salivate over.

@@lenleon3699 that's what I mean. Fujino can only be as close to mystic eyes as possible but not actually be them as you see some lose their powers when their eye die and nasu basically makes stuff up as he goes or goes back to explain his stuff just like now with the grands But honestly taking fujinos eyes wouldn't take her power is the point of it not being mystic eyes as they didn't work and she could still bend as knk was more mystery focused than tsukuhime or fsn where rules were Made.

@ivanbluecool do you even know what the definition of effective is, because Mystic eyes of death is very effective for almost everything you can think of, killing diseases, stopping events, you name it, it can negate it, use it for bad or good is up to the user actually, while I'm halfway writing this I realized you actually don't know the meaning of "effectiveness" so I'll just see myself out

Nope... That's all Trace On stuff. A category in which Shirou excels in with regards to Projection Magic.

The reason anime has featured eyes so promenantly is because Japan has a fixation with the whole "eyes are the window to the soul" thing

@@SirFooplesTheThird no, it’s because it looks cool lol. People are overthinking about these things way too much lol.

@@anthonyrocco5208 True true, I believe it's just a cool anime trope these days lmao

@@SirFooplesTheThird Not just Japan, the magical eyes imagery is a very old concept since eyesight is one, if not, the most important sense for humans. Most of our corporal language is based on how others see our poses and reactions, hence why in some cultures is rude to not look the other person eyes while talking when in others is the whole opposite. There is where also come from such expressions like giving someone the Evil eye or being petrified by someone's gaze.

Me: **Sitting in the Origin** "It's been eternities. When are the others going to return?... Not that it matters. The End is inevitable."

@@absolstoryoffiction6615 it be like that

It sounds like the weakness in this case is time, and the amount of use

That's the origin for ya...

I mean there are only 2 people who have them. And you still need to get in range to cut them which isn’t really easy.

Well Using it so much drive you crazy. Shiki Nanaya only use the final form once when he fought Roa. And most of the time he has to approach the target for the kill. So it was nerfed

Assasins(kiritsugu) could beat them using guns, they just need to be really far away

Also, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception slowly weakens and strains the eyes the more u use it. Also it can risk making their brain cells fucking explode

Isnt getting migraines and becoming insane not enough of a nerf?

I'm Rougi all day every day. Though Tohno gets death spots too which is apparently very powerful.

While I do like both characters, when it comes to Mystic Eyes, I definitely prefer Tohno's cause I feel they're much more explored in depth compared to Ryougi's and their inherent drawback makes them much more balanced and comprehendible.

Which manga are you talking about??

@@alokrip9226 The Tsukihime manga i think

Extremely.

@dragonoidmagnus837 that would destroy the whole story in general so I won't entertain the idea sure we like to overpower these characters with unnecessary powers for what ifs but we never considered what would happen to the story's function. I can say I wonder what happened if I strapped a jet engine to a motorcycle all I want but it doesn't change the fact that it'll ruin the functionality no matter how "cool" it is

@@emiyashirou1858 Understandable.

they resemble pure eyes more IMO since they reveal things that are unseen with normal vision and are passed down by blood mostly rather than individual mutation but yeah agreed

​@@meepermoppers8523I thought pure eyes were a type of mystic eye

Mystic eyes? I'm not sure. All I know is that mages have to train to control them when desired.

Synesthesia would be cool.

LOVE THIS XD

I have no idea. FGO should write that, except Musashi's gone now.

@Elijah Mayfield They all have eye abilities that’s my shitty joke

Coughing in blood

Idk but shiki tohno turned out alright so I’m not sure

@@Tohno20 shiki probably mutate after getting kill. Who know.

Does are not mystic eyes, clairvoyance is a skill that most talented mages can have, heck most archer class servants naturally trained themselves to develop it or had it naturally. Clairvoyance is really just SUPER VISION with different variety depending on the individual, it’s the same thing really

I think you might be confusing it with clairvoyance, although I could be wrong

yes They have mystic eyes gilgamesh posses the mystic eyes of the future merlin posses the mystic eyes of the present solomon posses the mystic eyes of the future and past

@@thephoenixgod5177 are you sure that is case? If i remenber corectly clairvoyance is a dormant ability possessed by the body, it's a psychic ability. The only one that possessed mystic eyes of clairvoyance is Viy. Unlike mystic eyes, clairvoyance can be obtain by training or by applying reinforcement to one eyes.

@@v40idrifter22 I am absolutely sure merlin has mystic eyes of the present

Clairvoyance isn't exclusive to mystic eyes.

Eye powers play a role in mythologies and fate series is about mythology.... it's pretty cool too not only Japanese Koreans too obessed with demonic eyes check out solo leveling

Eye possess charm type power, either by reality or fantasy.

@@ashchisalleh1454 Some people's eyes have powers to charm. Try winking one eye to a girl. Mine activate the opposite effect tho. 😐😓

I mean, you'd probably have to take them by force lol

Maybe they don't know she has them

They're probably just too rare and can only be used if one's name is Shiki, since those are the only 2 characters to use them.

Byakugan and regular sharingan probbaly match with... Mangekyou sharingan....probably wins over all the common ones since it's designed as a cheap addition of new and very bullshit power...even if itachi's are badass and rinnegan/it's evolution i forget the name of definetly wins over almost all of them besides Death perception (and probably a few others but lazy) on account of it being bullshit power o'clock because final boss power/11th hour upgrade

@@gypsysprite4824 i agree with the rennegan base sharingan and byakugan but mangekyou isnt that powerful in comparison to something like....like uhhhh ok you are right about the mangekyou

So anyone you look at suddenly splooges?

@@otakudaikun No. Mayo vision! Free Mayonnaise for everyone!

@@darkshado124 Does the Mayo come from the eyes???

@@otakudaikun OBVIOUSLY!!! :D

I don't remember. I suspect he's just badass.

I talk about him in the next lesson.

@@otakudaikun Thanks😄

I wonder if I have enough examples.

His nose?

@@otakudaikun He can "smell" magic i think, That do makes me wonder, Do Mystic ear/nose/skin/tongue exist too or only the eyes can have powers?

@@Rei-Maon I think some mages are just more sensitive to mana than others.

Paid supporters get exclusive stuff.

Perhaps. It still wouldn't be easy.

As far as fanfics go that seems interesting. I wouldn't wanna come off as a Mary sue tho lol

Probably depends on the eye.

@@otakudaikun ah shit he responded. cool.

@@Rock.E.Bottom I just know that Medusa's eyes work even if you try to avert your gaze. But what if SHE can't see due to the flashbang. I'm not sure.

@@otakudaikun hmmm... what about pocket sand?

@@Rock.E.Bottom Same deal I imagine.

That's not really how Avalon works, so you might as well get as creative as you want. Maybe make up a new eye.

@@otakudaikun So it can give him sword element/origin and a Reality Marble but not Mystic Eyes? That's kinda weird especially since Avalon is a scabbard not a sword, Shouldn't his origin and element be scabbard?

@@Rei-Maon I'm sorry, but I didn't write the story lol. I guess it's not impossible that Shirou could have come out from the fire with mystic eyes. The Shikis got theirs through near death experiences after all.

Probably.

Not sure.
