Lessons in Magecraft 6 - Runes 

The Highlander club

I cant believe @Anadaere is dead

Anadaere ga shinda!

Don’t question her logic.

And Cu suddenly dies again..Sigh.

Mages Association: Haha, I can't read.

It can even alter physiology as hinted by Scathach in f:go

Late reply but rune magic in general prides itself on efficiency and versatility. Primordial rune magic being possibly one of the most powerful forms of high thaumaturgy. Sorry my inner nerd felt compulsed to say this. You probably already knew this.

"It even works underwater!!!" -Phil Swift describing Primordial Rune magic

​@@stubbornspaceman7201 Yeah, it can turn a him to a her and vice versa, biologicaly.

Just Some Guy with a Mustache your here again

0:22

Shhh we don't want the vid to be demonetize hush you stupid mustache

YAMERO!!!

Shirou recorded this?

I was losing hope to ever be able to read those novels, since I can't speak japanese, thank you! Now I really hope someone will translate Mahoyo.

@@someoneelse4939 someday my friend, someday.

4 months old, but video uploaded three hours ago?! What magic is this.....

@@adamrodriguez31 it is called PATREON. They have early releases. If my countries currency wasn't 7.0 per dollar, i would really consider joining it.

Oh okay.

Indeed

I got her from the 20 million banner on jp so I will appreciate it since she looks lacking in comparison to Gilgamesh, Artoria and all the others who have the face close ups

Oh Hello Friends! Aside from Shisho, The current 5* Limited Servant I want the Most to get an Animation Update is Ecchan, along with another Skill or NP Buff. She deserves even more Love. ❤️

She should get two close up. First applying runes to her first spear that suspends them and the second when she thrusts her spear at them.

Ah yes I see you're a man of culture as well, she deserves all of the best

There is a Video on Shobbycast involving magic in Dark Souls that at its core principle can be applied to Runes in the Natsuverse. On how language changing can affect magic the depends on it.

oddly never animated in FGO's sprites for other classes outside of caster

@@tonyinfinite5174 well a lot of the Celtic units were ealry fgo so that's a given why a lot of them don't have rune animations.

@@ivanbluecool But Caster Cu does and he was the prologue Fuyuki caster of the game thats weird man

@@tonyinfinite5174 well lancer cu used runes on kiries body so it would be easy for a caster form to use them more in battle. Plus cu likes to be a lancer so he would not use runes that much like shirou being able to make anything (cloth beam) bur swords being his best and perfered choice for battle.

@@ivanbluecool Is the clothes beam a Muramasa reference

You know it bro, same here

For some reason I really want to see her ex

How did you run it? I mean, is there a good system do adapt into it? I have already tried Ars Magica and Mage, but they just dont fit.

@@jkosch your talking about the EXSACT same spell i said the only difference is that its not forced

I have a DnD druid based on Cu Caster lmaoooo

@@Bredark_ i also have a homebrew Gundam Artoria as a character

And best Caster and best Assassin of course

I agree. It’s bizarre.

Indeed it was.

@@otakudaikun wait so i'm now a bit confused because you said that one was used for fire but in the video you said that the rune in 4:08 was the flame one

@@OKOK-bs6jk Oh, my bad. I didn't actually look at the timecode. Ansuz was the flame one Cu used. There may have been a discrepancy between the symbol he used in the UBW anime and the actual chant he makes in the visual novel.

@@otakudaikun oh ok also i want to know how the magecraft that the runes do are decided. i was confused by this because Ansuz is fire magecraft but sowelu represents fire.

@@OKOK-bs6jk Honestly, I don't think Type Moon has been very specific with that over the years. I only gave the few examples I could find.

Yeah they’re dumb.

Citation?

CG?

Star Whale counter guardian

Seen when?

It was actually hard to get enough official images for this one.

@@otakudaikun I know what you mean Dai, I am a die hard Scathach(-Skadi) fan and have trouble to keep finding more art since not a lot of artists still draw her.

Bredark Oh I feel she gets plenty of fanart. What I’d love to see is her in animation more.

@@otakudaikun I guess you may correct, but definitely she deserves more animation in game or even in anime sometime

So Bazett as a Presudo Vessel Servant of Cu’s Son..Accidentally called Scathatch as Beautiful Pretty Aunt-Kun in the Process.

Silly as that sounds I’m all for it.

@@otakudaikun you just gave it.

Derek Bates I’m mostly referring to the way you described it.

@@otakudaikun What I described is exactly what you showed me; I don't think there's any other way to describe it.

Plus I honestly feel that a lesson in magecraft on the complexity of noble phantasms could be incredible

Plus a video on gilgameshs sword of rupture ea could be a video of itself

Here is the important question.....Which one?

perfect paul I have new vids every Tuesday and Friday.

I hardly notice the minor dislikes.

In Shinto/Buddhism that kinda is the case.

@@otakudaikun Cool! My guess was right for once 😄

I honestly thought you wouldn't like my comment since it was on an old video

AnubisGodess 23 The more you learn of them the better you’d be. Having a teacher like Cu or Scathach would help.

But the most best teacher would be Bryn, sigurd, skadi, valkyrie's, their primordial runes came from the OG odin after all.

@@vartner8051 skadi and scathach are the same in some wierd way. When skadi learnt the runes, so did scathach. Some wierd time shanigans involved in there

@@otakudaikun im surprised that mages havent used the grail wars just to learn stuff about magic like summoning Solomon, or the greek casters im sure some Scandinavian or Irish magi would summon cu, sigurd or brynhild just to learn it

@@durrangodsgrief6503 The issue is that, due to the decline of mystery, very few modern mages could even hope to replicate older Magecraft.

I’ll definitely be doing mystic eyes at some point. As for your question, a magus can definitely have mystic eyes.

It's not quite that easy if you want the runes to do anything lol

As in a lot of info?

@@otakudaikun after 2 years and a return to this video. Yes. I had no knowledge about runes or their origin/lore lol. And I finally got it.

Naj Litarvan There’s one I’m considering but it’s not in production yet.

@@otakudaikun ok, but it was awesome

It's very possible. The story isn't timelocked in any way. You may have missed some events, but you won't miss any of the overarching story. Besides, the JP version is starting to rerelease some older events for the purposes of welfare servants and story, so you may be able to check them out in the future.

@@PhantomNull13 Alright, Thanks a bunch my dude!

Ibrahim Hassan-Baba The only hard part is not having the full assortment of servants long time players have. It gets more accessible the more you play.

The fanart is credited in the description.

ARedJay C Theres actually inconsistency in the VN and the anime.

Indeed his caster version is more suited to runes.

There are other kinds of writing I haven't tried to identify.

They probably could with the right mythology.

Did I not do that??? If it's not a full lesson, you can watch my lore of Fate Extra for those details.

I imagine they're still subject to the same limitations as other forms of magecraft.

@@otakudaikun ah, I see. Well that sucks for Shirou then

sheikh rajel ali Depends on the mythology behind it. Should be possible.

Ironic that he summon his Future Self for another favor.

@@Lemuel928 what?

@@Lemuel928 Did you interpret it as talking to his other self who shares his ideals? I was thinking of stabilizing his magic.

The Archer himself,yes.

What what means?

OtakuDaiKun: the servant's stats and capabilities. Heroic spirits are described like in a video game

@@vaughnlewis3443 l always found those ranks and stats confusing. I get that it's a way to measure power and stuff but l never truly understood the in universe implications

Mecha Zord : I mostly just wont him to talk about their skills and stuff the ranks are just a generalization of how good not absolute

Hmm... I’ll look into that. There’s not a lot of info tbh.

@@otakudaikun thanks! I appreciate it

Yeah...

@@otakudaikun i thought it was the same runes cu used(fire, tracking, barriers, and illusion) etc

Nope waver and rin gutted the greater grail this no more grail war

Cursed Royal Studios so that’s why there’s so many spin offs

Oh shoot, I don't remember the exact website, but I imagine it's not too hard to find. It was dedicated to runes if I recall.

I’ve gotta admit I don’t know near enough about Strange Fake.

OtakuDaiKun basically a holy grail war where nobody is pretending its supposed to make sense, and a lot of the servants are way stronger than normal on average. Like there’s no one really below A-tier here. Avenger-Archer Hercules: has 12 or 13 noble phantasms and all of them are the most broken shit ever, even if one of them literally only exists to counteract Gil. One I really just think is broken is his ability to steal his opponents noble phantasm no matter what it is, and I mean that viscerally. Even magical or conceptual abilities or unique physical traits can get stolen, so if he fought his berserker self he'd just STEAL 12 lives. Big weakness in that it lets the master of the servant he stole the phantasm from use magecraft on him as if he were a normal human basically since all manners of of magic resistance to the masters specific magic or magecraft get nullified. Penths older sister Enkidu and Gil Evil revived Ishtar/Ishtars curse as a master (who is fucking terrifying because even through she’s only really powerful for a human, the lengths this woman will go to for revenge over the pettiest shit are ridiculous and horrific.) The Humbaba as berserker A false caster who can create new noble phantasms and make the people who wield them into pseudo-heroes Prelati as true caster, who can trick Gaia into making what he wants reality. It goes on. And no one gets weaker. Watcher is a weird class that isn’t exactly an extra class. Specifically it’s a class that seeks to make the master who summons the heroic spirit “into the heroic spirit fit for the class they would have summoned”. A watcher class heroic spirit can’t or normally doesn’t participate in the grail war or fight at all. Rather, they ‘watch’ the battlefield and support their master, having them go through and fight the other heroic spirits in the war themselves in lieu of an actual heroic spirit, growing their power and amassing a ‘legend’ for them that eventually allows them to reach the level of a real heroic spirit if they survive. The class they gain being that of the heroic spirit they would have summoned, as Sigma is being ‘bred’ by watcher to become the true lancer in his holy grail war. Basically the worst class to summon in history. It’s either a guaranteed death sentence or you’re going to wish it was just a little bit by the end of the war if you survive that long. Imagine summoning watcher when you wanted to Summon avenger. Oblivion correction could be a hell of a drug. What’s worse is how ironic Sigma summoned the watcher class heroic spirit he did. Watcher (since their true name is unknown) is normally summoned to the gatekeeper class and has EX in I think all of her parameters. Not to mention I think she can upkeep her mana cost entirely by herself, and he is also a giant flying whale holding a magic spear as long as a skyscraper in her mouth. Sigma done fucked up.

Archer fits him most. The class servants are assigned to classes according to their talents during their lifetime. Shirous talent was archery so he'd be an Archer class servant of course. Avenger class wouldn't make any sense because he never resented anyone during his life. The wiki also states that the Heroic Spirit Emiya can only be summoned as an Archer.

Nathan Colley I think it could have been done like that, but I think they were trying to make avengers extremely rare when writing Stay Night. FGO kinda went crazy.
