   Magical Energy (魔力, Maryoku?) is a source of energy found naturally within Magi and the World, acting as the source to actualize the Mysteries of Magecraft. Referred to as the primordial animus and life itself, Magical Energy is the source that powers all forms of Magecraft. Analogous to gasoline, it is an essential element for the invocation of spells.[1][2] There have been many names for Magical Energy depending on the culture.[2]

   Magical Energy is primarily classified by two types, Mana and Od, separated only by whether it comes from the atmosphere or from within human Magi. They are essentially identical in terms of quality, but the world's Mana vastly exceeds humanity's Od.[1]

   In the Holy Church, it is considered taboo to use the terminology preferred by Magi due to the organization’s long-standing conflict with the Mage’s Association. Members of the Church therefore refer to Magical Energy as "Prayer Power".

   Entry settings

   Mana (マナ, Mana?), the meaning of which is approximately the same as that of Polynesian cultureWP, is the greater Magical Energy found in the atmosphere of the world.[1][2]

   Mana is the "breath of the planet filling the world and nature,"[1] produced by the World through a network of Ley Lines (龍脈, Ryū Myaku?, Dragon Vein) across the globe. There also exist alternate versions of Ley Lines, such as the Divine-make Ley Lines (神造霊脈, Jinzō Rei Myaku?, God-made Spiritual Vein) of Olympus, a wireless network created and administrated solely by the Gods, capable of superior Mana provision compared to regular Leylines.

   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.[4][5] 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.[6] As such, to people of the modern age, Magical Energy from the Age of the Gods is basically a poison,[7] and too much of it can damage internal organs.[8]

   The Mana within a given area is finite, the three-kilometer cavern housing the Fuyuki Greater Holy Grail holding one thousand units. 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.

   Od (オド, Odo?), from the concept of Odic force, 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.

   Magic Circuits (魔術回路マジック・サーキット, Majutsu KairoMajikku Sākitto?)[1] are a pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through the human body and what qualifies a person to be a Magus.

   The Magic Circuits have two basic functions; one is to convert Life Force into Magical Energy and another is to allow their owner to access Thaumaturgical Foundations (魔術基盤, Majutsu Kiban?), also known as Greater Magic Formula (大魔術式, Dai Majutsu Shiki?).[2]

   They are also paths that connect the material world to the astral plane. To perform Mysteries, a Magus sends a command and Magical Energy to a Thaumaturgical Foundation through his Magic Circuits and activates one of the Magic Formulae (魔術式, Majutsu Shiki?) included in the Thaumaturgical Foundation[3] as if someone switched a computer on and sends it commands to run a computer program.

While none of Earth can withstand Potnia Theron, the start of human history wielded by BB, those who obtain this power are on the same level and cannot be "undone" by it. It requires special access rights within the Moon Cell to obtain the ability, needing to dive into the core of the recorded Heroic Spirit to unlock their Root that has been sealed away by the Moon Cell.

   Inversion Impulse (反転衝動, Hanten Shōdō?) is a state of being where one's mind is overpowered by other factors of their body. With the case of Mixed-Blood humans with Oni blood, it is that their non-human blood, their instincts, overpower their human blood, their reason.

   Arcueid Brunestud (Remake) can possibly fall into such a state from not eating. As her form of taking in nutrition is different from that of humans, her appetite is more akin to lust, and she rarely falls into it because she does not place much priority on it.

   It is possible for humans to have offspring with Phantasmal Species and Demons, resulting in the birth of Mixed-Bloods (混血, Konketsu?). Though their blood is growing thinner with each successive generation, on rare occasions a child is born who has strongly inherited that "inhuman" characteristic. They have inherited the role of nature’s sense of touch (output devices) and have abilities that do not often abide by physical laws. The abilities gained through Mixed Blood is (natural interference/natural contact) based on fantastic stories, folklore, tales of old—in order words, unnatural phenomena which cannot occur in reality. Such hybrids include offspring between humans and members of the Oni Kind, such as the Tohno and Kishima clans in Japan.[2] Others include the half-incubus Merlin, and the distant descendant of succubi Natalia Kaminski. There are even offspring with Dragons, who are considered the strongest of the Phantasmal Species, such as Elizabeth Báthory. Such beings are seen as a distortion that needs to be exterminated in Japan, but they make for troublesome targets for the Demon Hunters. They are immune to the Edict of Binding of Houjutsu, and it is impossible to match their supernatural powers with just a human body.

   Humans can be born with innate abilities such as extrasensory perception and other abnormal powers called ESP (超能力, Chounouryoku?). They are normally functions that aren't involved in the operation of the organisms called humans, which are the circuits that cause "supernatural phenomena" to occur.

   Compared to Magecraft, which can be trained over time, inherent ability is absolutely necessary to use ESP. Those who have these abnormal lines can cause supernatural phenomenon to happen as if they were simply breathing. Those experiencing it find it to be normal, so they only realize the abnormality of themselves for the first time when the common sense of others point this out to them.

    In Japan there are four known demon hunting families, however as time went by they became unnecessary. The enemy known as Mixed-Bloods, have slowly morphed from an evil that threatens society to a necessary evil. The Mixed-Bloods were no longer worshiped due to the emergence of the nation, so they compromised with human society and became organized. They skillfully brought those in positions of power to their cause, and became the ones in power. As a result, the Four Demon Hunter Houses could no longer maintain themselves.[2]

    The relationships between the four families are unknown, but the Nanaya and Ryougi were once close friends.

    For a time, the Nanaya (七夜, Nanaya?) were considered the trump card of the Organization. The Nanaya continued battling the Mixed-Bloods in the modern age because that was all they were good at.[2]

    Though they possessed a psychic ability in the form of Pure Eyes, what truly made them so powerful was their Nanaya Assassination Arts that drew upon the limits of the human body. With the two styles of Flashing Scabbard (閃鞘, Sensa?), the ability to attack extraordinarily quickly, and Flashing Dash (閃走, Sensō?), the ability to move so quickly as to appear to teleport, the Nanaya were able to move like spiders to use walls and ceilings as their footholds, and use unpredictable movements to confuse the opponent. Rather than focusing on their psychic abilities like the other families, the Nanaya focused purely on the extermination of Demons, and uniquely developed a murderous impulse against non-humans, which would be used together with their techniques to great effect. So that their powers could be passed down to their descendants, the Nanaya maintained the purity of their bloodline by having incestuous relations between themselves.

    Kiri Nanaya was the last head of this family and was considered one of the best assassins in the history of the Organization, being able to fight demons on an equal ground when normally such a thing would be impossible as a human. The family was slaughtered by Kouma Kishima under the orders of Makihisa Tohno. One child survived the attack: Kiri's son, Shiki Nanaya who would later become known as Shiki Tohno.

However, even some members of the Organization are known to have inhuman blood coursing through their veins.

    It is the source of all supernatural phenomena such as Magecraft or ESP, and beings such as True Ancestors, Dead Apostles, Servants, Spiritual Bodies, as well as Phantasmal Species show signs of Mystery.[1][2][3] Mystery accumulates over time and grows stronger with age.

    Entry settings

    Magecraft[Note 1] (魔術, Majutsu?) is the artificial reenactment of Mystery, which is ordinarily possible only by inhuman beings.[1][2]

    Magecraft is the ability to bring about what is possible through Science with supernatural means; although the process is considered a miracle, the result is not. The limits of Magecraft have changed with time, as science evolved and Magic from the past became possible through Science.

    There exists no impossibility for modern Magecraft within the rules of the world and limits of human intellect; there are limitations, however, where it only appears that something is possible. Because Magecraft acts as the reenactment of preexisting phenomena, it is impossible to use it to create new Mysteries; even with an infinite amount of research, there exists a "wall" preventing human wisdom from doing so in the current era. The realm past this "wall" is known as Magic (魔法, Mahō?).

    Modern Magecraft is inferior to that from the Age of Gods in terms of magnitude because Magi from that era had acquired their Magical Energy from the Swirl of the Root directly. The difference between Modern and Traditional Magecraft is explainable by the difference in civilizations - while the civilization of the Age of Gods existed side-by-side with the Truth, the civilization of the Age of Man exists in order to search for the Truth.

    The time period beginning with the genesis of the Earth 4.5 billion years ago until the beginning of the Common Era around 1 AD is referred to as the Age of Gods (神代, Jindai?), during which the world followed laws based not on physics but on Mystery. The Age of Gods period is marked by a greater proliferation of Phantasmal Species and greater interaction between gods and mortals. This is the age of heroes and mythology, when rules of mankind and the laws of the world were different right down to the very fundamental physics of reality itself, but this period ended many years ago. Even Magecraft itself is described as being closer to Magic in this era and Medea's abilities reinforce this concept. The currently-revealed Second Age of Gods eventually transitioned into the Age of Man due to three major events. Originally, gods existed in physical form as manifestations of nature itself, and ruled the Earth and its civilizations. The Deterioration began with the invasion of Sefar in 12,000 BC.[5]

    Sefar successfully burned to ash 80% of the planet’s surface,[6] not only killing most of the plants, animals or Humans,[5] but even the gods themselves.[5][7] The most notable including Amaterasu,[7][8] and the Twelve Machine Gods.[9] It wasn't until the six Great fairies forged the Holy Sword forged in the core of the planet,[10] that Sefar was finally beaten back.[5]

    Although the gods did survive, due to the damage done by Sefar, their influence and power declined whereas those of humanity grew. The gods slowly began to lose their physical forms and eventually could only walk on the Earth by possessing compatible humans.

    The Authority Potnia Theron embodying the power of all creation originated from a forgotten goddess approximately around 6,000 BC (the Goddess of Çatalhöyük). It was inherited by the Earth Mother Goddesses; Tiamat, Cybele, Ishtar, Inanna, Anat, Ashtart, Gaia, Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena, etc.

    The Swirl of the Root (根源の渦, Kongen no Uzu?, "the Vortex of Radix" in the English localization), also known as the Root (根源, Kongen?, "Radix" in the English localization), the Akashic RecordsWP (アカシックレコード, Akashikkurekōdo?, or simply "AkashaWP"), or occasionally, Heaven (空, Sora?), is a metaphysical location that acts as the "force" that exists at the top of all theories in every dimension, as well as the source of all events and phenomena in the universe.

    The Root is also referred to as the "Outside of the World," as opposed to the World and its Reverse Side. Existing outside of time, it stores and archives information of all possibilities and events, past, present, and future, of the world. It is the place from where all Souls, including those of Heroic Spirits recorded on the Throne of Heroes, originate from and to where they return after death. In Kara no Kyoukai, the Swirl of the Root, or Akashic Records, is the name used to pronounce 「　」 (quoted empty space, equivalent of " "). This term corresponds to the "Emptiness" (空, Kara?) in the series' title.[1][2] Although, because the Swirl of the Root is a name, it automatically can't be said to be the same anymore, since 「　」 is a space of nothingness that can't even have a name.

    The specific period of Celt and Ulster legends are presumed to be from 100 BC to 100 AD. By 60 AD, the hero Cú Chulainn had already died decades ago.[18]

    Around 0 AD, the Age of Gods ended entirely and the population of humanity grew explosively. Because the Earth obeys the law of the most prosperous species on its surface, the rules of the world were completely changed from one that mostly obeyed Mystery to one that mostly obeyed physics. The Phantasmal Species ceded the Earth's surface to humans and moved to the Reverse Side of the World, where Mystery still thrives.[16]

    However, unlike on continents where countries are joined by land and thus the establishment of the laws of physics was swift, the Age of Gods lasted a little longer on islands; the more isolated from the mainland, the easier it was for Mystery to remain in those lands.[19][20] This included Britain, the "navel" of the planet,[19] which had its own Age in the form of the Age of Fairies, and Japan, whose Age of Gods outlasted Britain's.[20] In the Americas, the Mesoamerican Age of Gods ended with the fall of the Mayan civilization in 900 CE.[21]

    The current age is identified as the Age of Man (人間の時代, Ningen no Jidai?), where Mysteries such as Magecraft are dwindling in favor of science. The Five Magics were born in this age.

    Magic (魔法, Mahō?)[Note 1] is the highest class of Mystery that surpasses Magecraft and all current sciences of that age.[1] It represents the actualization of events that are impossible to reproduce in a certain era, whether by humans or the Planet, even if given an infinite amount of time and resources. The acquisition of the capacity to perform Magic is considered the ultimate accomplishment of a Magus, and only within the grasp of those who have accessed the Swirl of the Root.

    "Magic" can be differentiated from "Magecraft" in that the consequences of its use are ostensibly "impossible" or "miraculous". A spell that creates fire, even a large blaze, is merely Magecraft, since lighting a match can yield the same effect. Concepts like Time Manipulation, teleportation, spatial warping and quarantine, and the Resurrection of the dead[2] are miracles thought to be possible only through the application of Magic. The Denial of Nothingness, Operation of Parallel Worlds, and Time Travel can all perform Resurrections, but the Resurrection of the dead through conventional methods is something that not even Magic has granted since the days of old. Magic is attained by reaching the Swirl of the Root, but not touching it like those who are said to have disappeared from the World upon touching it. Moreover, in order to acquire Magic, the Magus must be the very first to travel through a specific path to the Root; even if the same theory and method are used to reach the Root, those who came after the first Magus using a certain path cannot acquire Magic.

    Aoko is a Magician capable of utilizing Magic Blue (魔法・青, Mahō Ao?), the Fifth Magic (第五魔法, Dai Go Mahō?), making her the only person in the current world capable of performing its miracles. It appears to have a connection with consumption and extinction.[40]

    Its exact domain is uncertain, but it is able to perform Time Travel. Her usage of it is limited to localized individual time travel, but Touko cannot believe time travel is the true nature of the Fifth Magic, since time travel was already possible with the Second Magic. While she is unsure if Aoko has arrived at the very depths of its nature, she is certain that it is not simply just a miracle. Aoko uses it to make herself into the "completed Aoko Aozaki" of ten years later and revive Soujuurou Shizuki. Time travel is also possible with the Second Magic because the revising of records and rewriting of events falls under the operation of parallel worlds. It makes no sense for such an ability to now be called the Fifth Magic, but Touko decides further speculation is none of her business.

    Despite Touko being a vastly superior magus, Aoko was chosen to inherit the Magic instead of her. Though Touko boasts one of the greatest Magic Circuits in the world, the Fifth Magic does not require such a thing, and it can be said that Aoko's simplicity is more suited to it. The secret of the Fifth Magic lies in "advancing civilization", fitting how Alice represents Medieval Civilization and Aoko represents Consumption Civilization. It also holds the answer as to why she is called the "newest" magician.[41] Ars Almadel Salomonis is stated to have parts of and hints to the Fifth Magic to it.[42]

    She is familiar with Zelretch and the Second Magic to some extent, as she is able to classify Neco-Arc existing in the world of Melty Blood as his doing.

    The soul contains the memories, mind, and Magic Circuits of a person, and it uses the person's body as an anchor to the World to keep from being dispersed and returning to Akasha. Once the brain and body are destroyed, it is impossible to restore a person's dispersed soul, and even the magical ability of the Holy Grail can't restore a destroyed body. Even if a Magus manages to place their soul into a new body, it will either be an inferior copy compared to the original, as in the case of Michael Roa Valdamjong (Remake) and Darius Ainsworth, or the soul itself will eventually begin to rot, as with Zouken Matou.

    Heaven's Feel is a Magic that allows for the Materialization of the Soul (魂の物質化, Tamashī no Busshitsu-ka?), which stops the inevitable dispersion of the soul once it no longer has an anchor to the World, and essentially makes it transcend to a higher form of existence.[21] It is a Magic that realizes true immortality by making the soul into a high-dimensional planar being capable of interacting with the material world as a mental body without having to return to Akasha. The practitioner will acquire an unlimited source of Magical Energy due to the soul becoming analogous to a perpetual motion machine

The blood of those within the Tohno family have the blood of the Oni Kind (鬼種, Kishu?) mixed[1] in with their own. The latent powers and abilites of the Tohno family is vastly superior to that of others. The blood itself is a blood from ancient times, and it causes individuals to give priority to their instincts rather than their reason.

    In regards to their blood, there are those with strong and those with weak nonhuman blood. Those with weak nonhuman blood can live their lives as ordinary people, but those with strong nonhuman blood can never live a normal life. Those with especially strong Tohno blood are born with special powers. One such power that emerged from strong nonhuman blood was a body that is resistant to death. Other known powers included an ability to move things without touching them and fangs that could be used to take bodily fluids from other people.

    When this blood becomes too strong, the members of the Tohno House start to gradually lose their sanity and some of them will change their appearance. The majority of the members of the Tohno House that lose their sanity become demons that feed on human flesh. As a result, the head of the Tohno household carries the responsibility of punishing those who have turned into such monsters.

    "A Noble Color is like the movement of the stars compared to normal Magic Circuits" is a common saying in the World of Magecraft.[6] Mystic Eyes that directly intervene with the fates of others are classified as being of a Noble Color, and include Compulsion, Contract, Flame, Illusion, Jinx, Petrification, among others.[5][8]

    Above them, Mystic Eyes ranked Gold or higher often held great Magecrafts that had long since been lost to the modern era.[8] Gold-ranked Mystic Eyes can earn a Sealing Designation with one wrong step,[6] and are possessed by the highest class of Dead Apostles.[25]

    For Jewel and Rainbow ranks, they are so rare that their very existence is hypothetical and can't even be verified.[6] It is assumed that they don't just possess powerful Magecraft, but instead could actualize Mysteries that were otherwise entirely impossible to replicate in any era. They could even be said to be an exercise of the Authority of the Divine.[8] Medusa's Mystic Eyes of Petrification fall under the classification of Jewel,[25] and it is rumored that one of the Lords at the top of their faction may be hiding some Jewel-ranked Mystic Eyes away.[6]

There are many Magi who exceed them in the area of Magecraft, while their Magic is a unique Mystery only available to them. There are also those like Barthomeloi Lorelei, whose Magecraft comes close to the miracles achieved by Magic, and Caubac Alcatraz, who is considered to be "just a step away" from the level of the Magicians.

    Aoko Aozaki (蒼崎青子, Aozaki Aoko?) is the first protagonist of Mahou Tsukai no Yoru and a supporting character in the Tsukihime series and Tsukihime Remake series. She is the Magician of the Fifth Magic (第五魔法の魔法使い, Dai Go Mahō no Mahōtsukai?). Aoko is a member of the Aozaki family. When she was young, Aoko's grandfather, the third generation head chose to raise Touko as his successor while Aoko lived with her parents. She is not afraid at all of her grandfather, who is labelled a monster, and only thinks of the great Magus who created the final Magic as "a terrible old man who's lived for too long through questionable means".[11] When she was fifteen years old, Aoko was suddenly named the successor to the Fifth Magic by her grandfather, and her sister Touko Aozaki, who was being trained as the successor until that point, was abandoned. Therefore, she originally had a very bad relationship with her sister. It was later revealed in Mahou Tsukai no Yoru, however, that the true target for Touko's anger was actually her grandfather who closed the Aozaki's path to the Root.

    Ever since becoming the Aozaki heir, she has lived the life of a rootless wanderer, roaming the world with a single trunk in hand.[1][4] Her meeting with Shiki was merely a coincidence, akin to making friends with a local child in the midst of a long journey.

    Unique existences even among the Vampires, the True Ancestors (真祖, Shinso?) are incarnated Nature Spirits, being classified as Elementals,[1][2] said to be the original bloodsucking species independently established by the planet as its sense of touch.[3][2]

    Elemental royalty,[4] they are Vampiric creatures from birth, however, unlike the Dead Apostles and other blood-sucking species, the root of their bloodlust is psychological rather than physical. Also, because they are part of nature, they can use the power of Marble Phantasm to change the world around them according to their thoughts.

    They can be classified as a type of greater Fairy and their Foundation is of a Mystery that cannot be reached through Magecraft.[5][2] They are said to be Planet-class Spirits, a rank higher than Divine Spirits.[6] As they receive backup from the planet, it can be said that the limits of their actions are the limits of nature itself.

    Spirits (霊, Rei?) are spiritual bodies used by the Planet as a sense of touch, and anything that interferes with them is considered a contradiction. There are several types of Spirits, and despite the fact that they can be found everywhere, only those humans who possess a spiritual affinity can perceive them.

    Spirits are generally harmless to people, but those of the Elemental class are of such a dimension that they can interact with people by taking a physical form. Presently, science cannot interfere with Spiritual Bodies and modern Magecraft cannot reproduce Mysteries of such scale.

    Thaumaturgical System (魔術系統, Majutsu Keitō?) is the general term used to refer to the several modern Schools of Magecraft such as Astrology, Kabbalah, Alchemy, and Shinsendou. Divergences can be found among different Thaumaturgical Systems, but the fundamental basis is “to convert Magical Energy inside the user’s body to transform the external world”.

    The practitioner acts in accord with the system that each Thaumaturgical System operates under to execute a pre-built program. That “program” is a set of universal rules that interfere with nature once they are enforced. The power that enforces those rules is the Magical Energy of the Magus and the command to do it is made through his Magic Circuits. The greater the interference, the greater will be the amount of Magical Energy consumed.

    Entry settings

    An Elemental (精霊, Seirei?) is a general category for a variety of Spiritual Bodies (霊体, Reitai?). It is a class of Mystery whose foundations can't be replicated by Magecraft, and a rare number of Phantasmal Species were capable of advancing to becoming Elementals.

    There are a few types of Elementals: Nature Spirits, Animal Spirits, and the artificially created Guardian Spirits. Lower class Spirits such as Wraiths and Apparitions are not included in this category. Most of these Spirits do not take the shape of a human.

    Despite being a general category for all sorts of Spirits, the term "Elemental" usually refers to Nature Spirits when used by itself. In this case, the Elementals here acts as part of the Counter Force and exists as the sense of touch for the Planet. The likes of Great Mother/Father-class Fairies such as Morgan le Fay/Vivian, Lugh Beowulf, the True Ancestors, Viy, Tengu such as Kiichi Hougen, Zhenren such as Consort Yu, Divine Spirits (a weakened state of Gods) and other mediators of nature are first and foremost Elementals before being part of any other category.

    Elementals are "power" granted form using human imagination as a container and they don't need human "faith" in order to exist. Still, even if their shape turns out to be close to that of humans, their values and logic are still unlike those of humans. Fairies that grow to a scale that can be perceived by humans become Elementals. True Ancestors, who are classified as a type of Greater Fairy, fall into the category of an Elemental. Incarnated Elementals like Hinako Akuta are even capable of "dying" and being recorded into the Throne of Heroes, as they can choose how they wish to incarnate themselves.

    The mediators of nature are capable of using Marble Phantasm[3] and just like Daemons,[4] use Reality Marbles.

These Spiritual Bodies are formed by the will of the planet earth and they gain energy from nature itself.

    Only those Nature Spirits, who are wanted by the planet as a defense against the resource-plundering actions of humans, can receive a body made out of flesh from the planet. These supernatural entities are known as the Transcendent Kind, one known member of this category are the True Ancestors who are said to be Planet-class Spirits, a rank higher than Divine Spirits.

    Gaia (ガイア?) is the planet's will to survive. Gaia protects all creatures on Earth by using Nature Spirits and creatures of the Earth, but as mankind becomes independent, Gaia increasingly perceives humans as a source of threat due to their reckless destruction of the environment.[12][13]

    Gaia's response to the human threat is producing beings that can cull or rule mankind. Primate Murder was created to quickly eliminate humans. The True Ancestors are great Faeries modelled after the Crimson Moon, introduced by Gaia to rule over mankind.[12][13]

    The destruction of the planet by Earth-born creatures is essentially impossible due to measures already put in place by the Counter Force. Even Anti-Planet Noble Phantasms are unable to accomplish this feat.

    Ultimate Ones (原初の一アルテミット・ワン, Gensho no IchiArutemitto Wan?, lit. Primordial One (Original One)), known locally by the residents of the Land of Steel as Aristoteles (アリストテレス, Arisutoteresu?) and Types (タイプ, Taipu?), are the strongest existences of a celestial body.[1]

    The concept of Ultimate Ones is related to Archetypes, but the exact connection is undefined. Ultimate Ones are the ultimate beings from other planets, differing significantly from both creatures of Earth and each other biologically and in appearance. They do not have the same sense of self as humans, nor do they have the concepts of damage or death. They require something above the existence of the common sense of the planet in order to be harmed or destroyed, though the resulting "death" is not necessarily permanent. In the world of Notes, they lack names originally, only given the name of "Aristoteles" by humans, and it is unknown why "Aristoteles" is used, perhaps originating from a scientist of the old age.[2] It is possible for some to acquire the planet's concept of "knowledge" and several were able to contact mankind. Type Venus, as a parasite type being, is capable of such, but ORT (Lostbelt) can only partially simulate the beings of Earth.

    Each is the strongest lifeform of its planet, essentially the planets themselves, and they each have the power to singlehandedly exterminate all existing lifeforms on Earth. Type Saturn appears to be the leader of those on Earth, as well as the relay point for orders from the respective planets. They do not contend with each other, operating freely without conflict.

    Brunestud of the Crimson Moon (朱い月のブリュンスタッド, Akai Tsuki no Buryunsutaddo?), also called Crimson Moon (朱い月, Akai Tsuki?), is the Ultimate One of the Moon (月のアルテミット・ワン, Tsuki no Arutemitto Wan?), otherwise known as Type-Moon (タイプ・ムーン, Taipu Mūn?). Brunestud is the Ultimate One of the Moon, and is thus the strongest life-form on the Moon, capable of singlehandedly wiping out all living beings on Earth.[10] The appearance, abilities and very thoughts of Archetype: Earth could be called the Crimson Moon.[11] After he vanished, individuals close to him in power and purity started being honored with the title of Brunestud.[12] But in the long history of the True Ancestors, only Arcueid (Remake) and Altrouge have ever received the name Brunestud.[6] Arcueid in particular is beyond all other True Ancestors, as she can stand her ground with the first True Ancestor, Crimson Moon.[13]

    All creatures known as Dead Apostles are descended from him in some way, and as with True Ancestors, he can create strong Dead Apostles by drinking the blood of a human, having created at least two members of The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, Merem and Zelretch, and having had both Blackmore and Ortenrosse become vampires through magical research in order to follow him. Despite the impact the Twenty-seven Ancestors have on the planet, they can be considered nothing more than a footprint that he made on the world.[5] In the Remake, Crimson Moon was noted to have also been responsible for transforming Caubac Alcatraz into a Vampire due to sensing his potential.

    Entry settings

    The Counter Force (抑止力, Yokushi-ryoku?, "Deterrent Force") is a safety device formed by a World to defend itself against extinction and is synonymous with the World it represents. The concept of Counter Force is central to the World, and there are two types: Gaia and Alaya. Gaia is the will of the Earth, the planet's intrinsic wish to survive and prosper. Alaya, on the other hand, is the collective unconscious will of mankind to avoid extinction.[1] As humans are creatures of Earth, Alaya was a component of Gaia. However, as mankind began to develop independent from nature, it became independent. With this divergence, Alaya is no longer aligned with Gaia and potential conflict can result.

    Despite being called "the will of the planet/mankind", the Counter Forces bear no emotions.[2] They are described as passive spirals of energy that respond to threats of planet destruction or human extinction. The Counter Forces are always active, constantly steering mankind and the planet away from potential danger. Usually, the Counter Forces act indirectly.[1][3] For instance, Shiki Ryougi was driven by the Counter Force to eliminate the threat that is Souren Araya, while Jeanne d'Arc is believed by Mikiya Kokutou to have possibly been empowered by the Counter Force.[3] One exception to this is Enkidu, who is able to access the Counter Force directly through their Noble Phantasm, Enuma Elish.

    Entry settings

    Marble Phantasm (空想具現化マーブル･ファンタズム, Kūsō GugenkaMāburu Fantazumu?, Fantasy Manifestation) is the ability possessed by the Nature Spirits that are the Planet's sense of touch, allowing them to reconstruct the world through probability alteration. By connecting their will to the world, they can transfigure it into whatever environment they imagine. However, the same cannot be done with things like humans or animals, which exist independently of the world. Imagination Realization is purely the ability to freely transform one's surroundings.[1][2]

    The capacity of the actualization is proportional to the scale of the Elemental. The term "Elemental" usually refers to Spirits from nature when used by itself. The spiritual realm isn't a world separated from the real world, but localized regions thought of by the elemental that creates them, such as legendary lands and countries of eternal spring are the products of the imagination of whatever elemental rules over them; hence it is possible for a human to stray into it.[1]

    When Arcueid uses Marble Phantasm on Roa, she turns layers of the corridor's AtmosphereWP into a vacuum that had cut him like a knife would a radish. Although Roa himself was not affected, there was no way to avoid being chopped in pieces by the atmosphere, and Roa only narrowly managed to remain as just his ankles - Arcueid's imagination didn't go as far as having the floor dislocate.

    Arcueid Brunestud (アルクェイド・ブリュンスタッド, Arukweido Buryunsutaddo?) is the princess of the True Ancestors. She is the main heroine of Tsukihime. Arcueid Brunestud is the White Princess of the True Ancestors. The title of Brunestud was given to those True Ancestors capable of manifesting the Millennium Castle Brunestud, and has been likened to be the vampire royal family, although this is not strictly true. The True Ancestors were a race of beings copied from Type-Moon, the ultimate being of the moon, also known as the Crimson Moon. Long ago the will of the planet had no defense mechanism against humanity, nothing to keep them in check. Thus the Crimson Moon came down and offered to help the planet make a race of ultimate beings to rule over humanity, thus resulting in them being the "consciousness of the planet".[5] True Ancestors are alike to occurrences such as earthquakes and typhoons rather than individuals as their actions, while evil and without justification, would come as naturally to her (Arcueid and other True Ancestors) as breathing. However the race was fundamentally flawed, they had a desire to drink blood that their original, the Crimson Moon, had.[6] The True Ancestors needed to use a large portion of their power to suppress this impulse, but as there was no cure, and with passage of time the impulse grew, more and more True Ancestors fell and began drinking blood indiscriminately, while others most likely went into eternal sleep.

    The True Ancestors didn't have a specific reason in creating Arcueid. They normally only mold new True Ancestors to fit specific needs. There was no need for a being as strong as her, but in the end, she originated from nothingness, simply as a product to realize the pointless goal of "the strongest True Ancestor."[7] They used her great strength to make her into a weapon, the executioner of the fallen True Ancestors and of the most powerful Dead Apostles. According to Ciel, this happened in the 12th century AD, when the number of fallen True Ancestors was very high. She was able to perform this duty splendidly, but she was nothing more than a tool. She was taught nothing beyond what she needed to know to hunt her targets, to the extent that she even ignored the fact that she was the same kind of creature as those she was supposed to destroy, and went to sleep after every kill, with her accumulated memories erased.[8][9]

    As the executioner, she did not have any vampiric impulses, and the rest of the True Ancestors also believed she had none. A priest from the church seeking perfect immortality, Michael Roa Valdamjong, needed to become a Dead Apostle to continue his research as he had already reached the potential of his human body. Arcueid, ignorant of her nature as a vampire and the consequences of drinking blood, was easily tricked by Roa into drinking his and turned berserk, wiping out most of the True Ancestors, turning Roa into one of the strongest Dead Apostles and having a considerable portion of her power stolen by him, before she managed to regain her sanity long enough to chain herself to the throne and go to sleep. From then on she had to suppress her urge to drink blood like any other True Ancestors. The rest of the True Ancestors were wiped out either by Roa or the rest of the Dead Apostles, who made a game of trying to assassinate their creators.

    Arcueid finally managed to destroy Roa's original body, although it took an alliance with the Burial Agency to do it. Roa was not killed however, as he had managed to master reincarnation, and constantly reincarnated into host bodies he chose before his deaths. These host bodies were chosen for a mix of social standing (rich families with influence) and the physical/magical potential of the body. After destroying Roa's original body, Arcueid went to sleep and awoke only to kill Roa's re-incarnations constantly, but was never able to destroy him and get her power back as he would simply re-incarnate each time. At the time of Tsukihime, Roa had re-incarnated 17 times, with his last re-incarnation being SHIKI Tohno.

    The Holy Church (聖堂教会, Seidō Kyōkai?), also referred simply as "The Church", is the hidden side of the Roman Catholic ChurchWP that specializes in the hunting of heresy.[1]

    Compared to the public side of the Holy Church that treats heresies as if they do not exist because those who teach the word of God must not acknowledge that which runs counter to their doctrines, the Holy Church contains the zealots who feel the heresies should be more proactively destroyed. They are a major force that has a tenuous relationship with the Mage's Association.

    The Mage's Association (魔術協会, Majutsu Kyōkai?) is an international, self-preservative and self-defense organization formed by practitioners of Magecraft for the purpose of controlling, concealing, and developing Magecraft. It is said to transcend nationality and genre of Magecraft, but that is in name only.[1]

    After having existed for many years, it was decided around the Middle Ages by those who foresaw the decline of Magecraft that in order to preserve their power, Thaumaturgy should drift apart from society and become a secret known only by a necessary minimum number of people.

    It has many laboratories and research bodies that seek to advance the progress of Thaumaturgy, as well as institutions that transmit their secrets to the next generation.[2]

    Although the emphasis lies on the pursuit of knowledge, the Association also seeks to increase its own military strength and reserves the use of force to protect itself from entities that threaten its existence, such as the Holy Church, other mage organizations, supernatural forces seeking to punish mankind for meddling with areas that should not be touched, and individuals who hunt that which they consider taboo.
