Lessons in Magecraft 3 - Origins and Elements 

If you could choose, what element would you want to be affiliated with?

Kiritsugu’s origin didn’t affect his life? Kills his dad: severing. Meets Natalia: binding. Kills Natalia: severing. Meets Irisviel: binding. Kills images of Iri/Illya when confronting the grail: severing. Adopts Shirou: binding. I think maybe you undersold the potency of origins on ones life a little with that one.

Matou:original head lived a long time. Einzberg:homuculus keep the work going. Tohsaka: naturally give thier crest to later generations. Magus killer son:I'll take all three

I would love to see Nasu expand on all of this and make a sort of quiz to know our Origin, Element, and if possible, what kind of path we would most likely take or be forced to take in the Nasuverse. Mage, Alchemist, Agent of the Church, Dead Apostle or whatever. ...I would kill for a in-depth TYPE-MOON tabletop RPG system ala WOD. Just by imagining how much lore Nasu would put there I start to salivate in anticipation, so to speak.

Meme origins. Emiya harem ex:gives emiya family ungodly ability to romance anything that breaths. Sakura has drop kick origin: capable of drop kicking any snake in a closed area. Also soap opera mode. Rin technology destruction: able to open wormholes to other universes. Talk to herself from the phone and defeat the untimate enemy blue ray

"Magic can only be defeat with Magic", pretty sure I heard this line from somewhere

Man I loved seeing the knk movies show the origins of thier cast and how each of them used it in battle. Touko was so great in the movie.

I can only imagine the students of this class are completely clueless of what magecraft is or their magus family just never taught any of them

Remember people, Origins are one heck of a drug. Lio's was "furry" and we all know what happened to him!

I find that it is a shame that Type moon is only focusing on FGO, I understand that it is a cash cow and anyone will milk it , but I find that the Nasuverse has potential to be something fascinating, and yet we know (excuse my language) jackshit about the 5 true magics, the dead apostle ancestors, and Magecraft as a whole, and almost all of the stories they give us are about Holy grail wars and servants This is the reason that Lord El Melloi case files is my favorite work from them, and lets not mention The garden of the sinners

“Lessons in Magecraft” are my favorite videos you make, but I also like your other videos ^^

So basically, if you want a quick way to probably get loads of power grab onto your origin and find a way to sync it up with your element and go crazy figuring out as many different types of magecraft and witchcraft that line up in some way with them. Also hope to hell your origin is either something useful and pragmatic in regards to you or at least doesn't make you go insane. Also from what I read Sakura's original element was hollow before Zouken changed it to water so she could better use the Matou magecraft. Meaning if that's true it's also possible to just add or subtract elements which makes some sense if they're more in nature to the magical equivalent of a particular eye shade or a physical trait. Still fucking hard to change but not altogether something that helps make you YOU in the same way an Origin is.

I had the Idea that The Fire Awakened Shirou's Origin like a Sword Forged in fire or Kiritsugu and the fire both acting as attributing factors with the fire being the Forge and Kiritsugu giving him a Purpose

I'm not even a real fan of the the Fate series, but I love learning about magic systems in fiction. Gives me inspiration in D&D when I play a spell caster.

Next lesson is Mana. I'm particularly intrigue of Mana Transfer. hope there's an actual or atleast complete visual of the process.

Sakura's natural affinity as a Tohsaka is Imaginary Numbers (Emptiness) but Zouken tried to forcibly change it to Water. She still ends up being able to use voids and storage space even after Angra Mainyu is separated from her. You can see this in Hollow and in additional materials that she can still use her Shadow familiars and open up voidspace, it's just that she will never be as good as she could have been if she was raised properly to use her powers. Its Angra Mainyu that used her power, which is a Shadow that pools at her feet, as vehicle, not the other way around. Nasu gives some clues that Imaginary Numbers users use their consciousness as a vehicle for their magic, so willpower has a factor in its usage. Also, Rin's origin is Imaginary Element (Hollow)oddly enough, which Nasu likely has as a dichotomy with the sisters, after all, Rin's birthday is 2/3 and Sakura's is 3/2.

I really enjoy this series, it was a bit hard to understand this from just FGO and the lore, I did try to read the Wiki but I couldn't understand it all. I thank you dearly DaiKun for making this series, and I really appreciate that you take the time to understand all you can about magecraft. P.S. If this became a real class, I would sign up for it, no questions asked

Sakura's Element was originally Imaginary Elements. It's even in the wiki. If true she could have been an absolutely terrifying mage, with powers over Hollow, Nothingness, Void and even Daemons.

My Origin is *"Copy & Paste"* xD

Great Video, I like how it is set up as if it is in the Fate Universe (or one of them at least)

YESS I WANT MOR SENSAY

I can’t wait to watch these 15 more times to actually remember these bits of info Side note: I appreciate you doing these because a lot of the times these concepts blow over my head when I watch the actual shows that mention them

I love these videos!!! It like I’m actually a student at the clock tower getting a lecture, I love it!!!!

I been waiting for this

Shirou's Origin had nothing to do with Avalon. His origin was also most likely changed by the effective death and rebirth of his personality in the great Fuyuki fire. It's normally almost impossible to change an origin, but that incident is possibly one of the few situations extreme enough to facilitate such a change, as the trauma basically scrubbed his soul clean, on the brink of returning to the Root, before it was pulled back by Kiritsugu using a miraculous artifact to save him. His origin, sword, reflects the philosophy that Shirou adopted when he met Kiritsugu and saw how happy the later was to save even a single person. Shirou decided that to save others is the best thing ever, basically. A sword is a weapon that can be used to save someone, but has no intrinsic value outside of how it can be used by others. The value of its existence is defined completely by how it can serve someone. Just like Shirou, who defines his value completely by how he can help others. Also, how can you say that Kiritsugu's origins had no significant impact on his life? He formed several strong relationships over his lifetime, his father, Shirley, Natalia, Maya, Iri, Illyasviel and Shirou. And, one by one, almost all of these were severed, often by him in pursuit of his goal. He bound himself to others then severed those bonds.

I loved the concept of origins and elements when I first found out and still do considering the unlimited potential in fate they have as well as a Narrative

I love lessons in magecraft wish the others were here too

"The Origin" is known as "Dharma" in the vedas. If someone reaches nirvana, they will learn their origin and if they choose to stay on the planet, they would be called a Bodhisattva. There's a Vedic astrology chart that shows your Constellation house element. Mine is water and I used it as a medium during meditation to increase sensitivity. It worked. I know my Origin, and I'm very thankful for it but it's true that it consumes everything. My theory on it is that, our origins are kept from us to prevent obsession. That's the biggest difference between human and Fae, humans are given a "fresh" start while fae know who they are at all times. It's incredibly difficult to find balance while living in society if you are a mage

Shirou Emiya’s Elemental Affinity changed to Sword, not his Origin. His Origin has always been Sword. You can’t change an Origin that easily, if at all. So essentially, Shirou’s Elemental Affinity, which was changed by Avalon, is suited for the concept of “swords”, and Shirou’s very existence is the concept of sword. That’s why Shirou is so great at tracing and replicating Noble phantasms, something other mages would have zero hope of doing.

9:28 "Consumption, entropy, energy transfer, consumption and thermodynamics."

This series has been amazing so far I definitely would want fire

Thank you for sensei Daikun for a wonderful video of lesson in magecraft can't wait for more coming soon.Also I wish it would be great to have some of the characters in Kara no Kyoukai Azaka, Lio, Souren and what other charaters on there would be great to be added into the Melty Blood game just like Shiki Ryouji was added into the game.

I have exam for job less than 2 weeks and here I am watching lesson in magecraft. Worth it

Sensei, i think you should do a video on kotonime kirei, he's a very unique character and I'm pretty sure his origin was "opening wounds" which allowed him to be a spirit surgeon and is considered a witch doctor among magi.

I guess my Origins is learning. I keep studying new stuff everyday and my brain is basically Akashic Records at this point. My elements? I guess Light. No matter how depressing or painful life gets, I always get back up and does my best despite the odds against me.

I don't know why but a Mage having an Origin that is "Contradiction" sounds very cool and interesting

I have a theory/question. A mages abilities is largely limited and dictated by there magic circuits which direct magical power for spells. Those born with little magic circuits have a harder time controlling and directing magic for spells which makes them lesser and weak in the eyes of other mages. I don’t think there is any way to give an individual more circuits, at least not safely. But what if instead you cause the magic circuits to expand? If you make them bigger then the fact that there aren’t that many wouldn’t matter right? 10 enlarged magic circuits would in theory be able to control and direct just as much magic power as 100 normal sized magic circuits. Thoughts?

Wait wait wait, if Kiritsugu's origin is activated once it enters an enemy. Doesn't that mean that if they were to make origin rounds from Shirou's ribs, it would have an effect as well, for example: Create swords from the inside out of an enemy?

well dam no chaos/void/lightning affinity. also every time i hear moral depravity i keep thinking "its a good enough reason for an exterminatus"

Remember kids: If you know your origin you'll probably know what powers your Stand will take.

I beat the notification lol

I'm surprised that you didn't bring up that there are rare cases that one could change their Origin and Element under very rare cases. Because if I remember correctly, wasn't Shirou's Origin something else before the fire and Miyuverse Shirou had his Origin overwritten by EMIYA's when EMIYA invaded his body.

Magecraft is so fascinating and awesome

So if an origin can be nightmarish like ‘consumption’ or specific like ‘sword’ can it be something more abstract, like say, ‘supremacy’ or ‘learner’?

Thinking up of a cool origin for a character is hard

Anyways Shirou's origin and affinity were both sword which was insanely rare. Kiritsugu's origin bullets weren't just used simply by shooting a Magus, they had to have activated their magic-circuits when shot which would allow it's effect to spread all over. Which is why he would trick his victims into using magecraft to defend themselves before shooting them. I also think Sakura's origin was hollow judging by what you said.

Dai, would you be interested in creating a video based around the Extra Classes? (Foreigner, Shielder, Saver, Gatekeeper, Watcher, Faker, Funnyvamp, Ruler, Avenger, etc.) There is surprisingly no easily accessible high-quality videos on this topic, and I feel you could definitely do it justice. :)

does Kirei disturbing nature come from his origin too?? Or he is a born psychopath in purely biological way??

"your a mage daikun" (insert hagrid voice)

I need an episode on imaginary numbers in fate.

Thanks for the lesson.

I wonder there origins such as: Plot armor

You know, I would be very curious to see what if Shirous origin and elemental affinity was bow. Instead sword, it's bow. I mean, he was a genius in archery even with the whole sword thing.

So Dai using what we learned how would you imagine the magic of a Mage with the Origin of Metal & the Elemental Affinities of Earth, Fire & Ether would be influenced? For that matter how would his origin likely manifest? Im personally imagining someone capable of using mage craft to blend metals into Alloys or Damascus style ingots that can be shaped & manipulated at will. Maybe even change the state of the metals from solid to molten with mana alone. Thoughts?

Honestly it would be cool if I got a dual origin and the element of fire

My Origin is Libertarianism, everything else about my Ideology has changed, but the core of Libertarianism remains the same.

Another amazing lesson!

Aunque no entienda inglés mucho ver tus vídeos son muy buenos

Hey Dai, do you know about the facebook page "Cursed nasuverse community comments"?

Touko is bae

Yay, another one!

4:32 Nearly thought this was Shirou.

I find it odd that you didn’t brought up an explanation for a person having the same origin and element, like Shirou Emiya.

So an origin can be anything? as long as it's a concept. So if I were to make a character's origin "Weapon", that's alright?

Teacher, what would happen if you could force your origin on to others that aren't like Kiritsugu's "Severing and Binding"? Like say what if your origin was something like "Eating" or "Nothingness". Would it force that person to also eat or would they be eaten by your soul?

Is there a lesson about phantasmal beast dai kun? I'm really curious about dragon kind.

I love this, I love this, I LOVE THIS!!!

How about Emiya Shirou's Trace Version of Projection Magecraft and his Reality Marble Unlimited Blade Works:Infinite Creation of Sword as well mentioning trace and projected Divine Constructs excluding Ea which Miyuverse Emiya Shirou did.

So Rin is the Avatar!?!

Why didnt you mention Incarnations like Shirou Emiya

I know a lot of people have already answered this question. But I was wondering what the difference is between the original Fate/Stay Night VN and the Realta Nua version.

Thanks DaiKun! Your videos are the best! I learned one thing today! Nasu please bring back Tsukihime, Kagetsu Tohya, and Melty Blood!

Is nen deeper than this? cuase it looks like a close match if u ask me

Now that I think about it, did kiritsugu use all of his origin rounds up, or he still has some left.

I’ve always been confused about shiro’s origin, it only became “swords” after years with Avalon... so what was it originally? “Weapons” maybe?

Air or water- Leadership

So imaginary element is like an reality marble and labyrinth but different

Matoi Sakura? Water affinity? damn I should check myself if there are some worms left on my body, cause I'm being forced to act or even become Water affinity too... just like Sakura even though my affinity is Wood, I hope my mom still remember the name of medicine to exterminate worms on my body...

I have a question that's been bugging me since I rewatched Apocrypha and started writing my own series based on Arthurian Legend. If Mordred was conceived after Artoria became King, how is she there when Artoria pulls Caliburn from the stone?

Can you wish for your origin and element????

Liked alot (sorry if I already commented)

I really want to see an awakened shirou

Origins are too important for the life and fate of each person. I believe the reason Guda has insane amounts of chrisma and common sense is because of his origin. I think his origin should be Understanding. It is self-explanatory.

Goodbye,sir... I'll revise the lessons today

Teacher I have a question, how does zouken bug crest work?

Thanks

These videos are really interesting but please put some spoiler warnings, i'm still waiting to watch heavens feel.

In what order does one watch the anime with Shiki?

are these clips from fate ??

Magecraft Magic Death Note OtakuDaiKun Photo shop its a photo SHOP i got the photo magecraft death magic

👍

Ah, yes. Classpects.

This is a great video

Thanks,sir

Who’s the character in 0:19

I'm hopinf to see more of the Protagonist of the New Fate TYPE/Redline Manga.

I think I'm in the wrong class room

So in apocrypha, Seig used this "hollow" to hide the greater Grail in "the other side of the world"?

When is the video about fate grand order babylonia coming out?

Mah-gis? No. Maj-us.
