   Keys: Gawain from proper human history

   Gawain, one of the Knights of the Round Table that appeared in the Arthurian legends, also known as the White Knight of the Round Table. If King Arthur was the night, the symbol of the moon itself, then Sir Gawain was the day, which shoulders the sun. He acted as King Arthur's impersonator in the royal castle of Camelot. In other words, he was one of the candidates to substitute the King after his fall. He is the bearer of the sister-sword to Excalibur, Excalibur Galatine. However, in his blind adoration for the King, he remained unaware of the King's agony. A loyal knight just like Sir Bedivere who took care of King Arthur in his final moments, but unlike Bedivere who wished for the King to attain happiness as a person from the bottom of his heart, Gawain wished for him to flourish as a king. Unmindful of such evaluation and intentions from those who surrounded him, Sir Gawain remained as King Arthur's right-hand to the end.

   Keys: Mana

   Mana is the greater Magical Energy found in the atmosphere of the world. Mana is the "breath of the planet filling the world and nature," produced by the World through a network of Ley Lines across the globe. The density of Mana on the planet is dependent on the age. Within the Age of Gods, the Mana density is such that a modern human will die when exposed to it without a specialized Mystic Code to block out the Mana. The reason for that is because humanity has adapted to an environment where Magical Energy is vanishing, and their bodies can no longer withstand their original one now that they parted from the World of Magecraft. As such, to people of the modern age, Magical Energy from the Age of the Gods is basically a poison, and too much of it can damage internal organs. The Mana within a given area is finite. Similar to Magi needing time to regenerate their Od, the Mana of an area will take a long time to replenish after it is depleted. Magi utilize freely the Mana in the air for the purpose of spells that exceed their personal Od, but the amount they can utilize at one time correlates to the capacity of their Magic Circuits. If there is no available Mana, they can only utilize small-scale spells with their own storage. This connection can help to strengthen senses, or convert the Mana gushing from the Ley Lines into Od through one's Magic Circuits. The major drawback of this method is that if the Magus physically leaves the land, they will die.

   Keys: Life Force

   Od, is the life-force energy found within living organisms such as humans, animals and Magical Beasts. Once depleted, the Magic Circuits that are stored in the human soul will begin to replenish it. Od is produced as long as one lives, but the amount a person can store varies from individual to individual. The difference between Mana and Od is their abundance. Mana can be found almost anywhere and in great quantities, thus it is called the Greater Source by the Magi. As Od is the energy inside humans and animals, it is much smaller in amount and is called the Lesser Source. Strictly speaking, Mana and Od are energy in its raw state, whereas Magical Energy is the name given to the energy once it is converted by the Magic Circuits. Mana can be taken in accordingly with the capacities of the Magic Circuits, but the actual conversion process will take time. Regarding nature interference Magecraft mentioned before, at least for large-scale spells, activation requires the use of Mana regardless of the amount of Od that the Magus has. In fact, it is common practice among the Magi to start up their spells with Od and then keep them running with Mana. Only small-scale spells that do not interact with the environment directly are performed entirely with Od, an example of which would be Reinforcement.

21. #21

    Keys: Magecraft

    Magecraft is the artificial replication of supernatural phenomena, typically achievable only by non-human entities. It employs supernatural means to achieve what science alone cannot. While it may seem miraculous, it operates within the bounds of natural laws. Modern Magecraft lacks the capacity to create entirely new Mysteries; it can only reenact existing phenomena. This limitation arises from a 'wall' that human knowledge faces in the current era. Beyond this barrier lies Magic, a realm unattainable through Magecraft alone. Compared to the Age of Gods, modern Magecraft is less potent, as ancient Magi drew their power directly from the Swirl of the Root. This difference stems from the distinct goals of their civilizations: the Age of Gods coexisted with Truth, while the Age of Man strives to uncover it.

22. #22

In Magecraft, Inner Sea Fae are known as Great Fathers/Mothers, transcending nature deities. Fairies are immortal with specific purposes. Losing purpose leads to name loss and eventual fading. Over-absorbed Fairies lose form, becoming 'evil.' They don't need food but enjoy it. Their Fairy Eyes can discern truth from lies.

Having pulled her horns out, {{char}} "returns to her ancestral state" where her fairy body clad in black flames enlarges and she smashes Galatine down on the enemy camp. The blazing flames rising from the ground could be seen as the fangs of a predator that is chewing up the enemy.

33. #33

36. #36

    Keys: Summoning Ritual

They really only require a summoning circle, even if one is unskilled at it, a ring of purification carved around a ring of four purging circles, surrounding a ward of summoning is the minimum.

37. #37

    Keys: Servant

    Servants such as {{char}}, are powerful beings known as Ghost Liners that are bound to Masters. They can be Heroic Spirits, Divine Spirits, Phantoms, Wraiths, or even living people. Unlike regular familiars, Heroic Spirits are incredibly strong and cannot be contracted by most magi. The Holy Grail is unable to summon a true Heroic Spirit, so vessels are prepared beforehand to facilitate the summoning process. These vessels, called Classes, act as temporary names and methods of existing for the Heroic Spirits. The Command Spells are used to control and bind Servants to the Masters, who can also use them for Magical Energy upkeep and as an anchor to the world. Killing a Master would normally go against the purpose of a Servant, but the Command Spells protect the Masters from those who seek out a more suitable one.

38. #38

    Keys: Saber Class

The qualifying conditions require the Heroic Spirits to have legends as knights of the sword, and it is the class that requires the highest levels of attributes in all but the Magic attribute. The standard opinion is that the Saber Class is the best of the seven classes. The Class Skills of the Saber class are Magic Resistance and Riding.
