#edit: i even made an entire spreadsheet of the elder futhark + how rea uses them

"Explain Nasuverse mage Rea w.o explaining Nasuverse mage Rea:"

(Loose translation anyway:

if runes are used as supplemental magecraft like nails or screws, Rea uses them as brick n mortor for entire structure (and it WORKS)

unintentional (if unspoken) speciality in magical circuits construction and, with proper study, magecraft effecting the soul and outright Concepts directly

(FGO Rea absolutely works on an anti-Servant magecraft by targetting the 'thread' that allows that incarnation to have been summoned from the throne in the first place (ie via excising the cause and effect that allows them to have been summoned in the first place, for that summoning)

(Lesser example of this is FGO!Master subverse being incentived to develop 'artificial nerves' Mystic Code for when her Crest bs acts up, ie every rayshift, to mitigate how much it kneecaps her in the field)

she's an American magus that only spent time in Mage's Association for politicking/pawn reasons, and because she's so humble and friendly she has no idea how op any of her bs actually Is. she tries to explain/share it to people and it goes in one ear and out the next

#about // rea #about // rea (nasuverse) #tldr shes a Mad Genius whose ingenuinity is incomparable #combined with her semi functional crest and high quality circuits + her absurd precision = absurd mana efficiency ? #and shes 10/10 walking epitome of 'so fucking glad ur token moral mage fsr' #also she had patents as a TEENAGER and could easily hit Brand sooner than later (if by 'sooner' i mean mid 30s fgo 'reamom' subverse) #(n could def qualify as a Color rank w hcs putting her in yellow) #pettiest 'inventions' include mana batteries that gather mana FROM THE ATMOSPHERE rather than owner #and also electricity free barely anything civilian friendly (buttons!) climate control magical system #......and also how she she sees Mystic Locks as a CHALLENGE rather than a Guarantee n so doubles hers up w bio signatures #(n similarly has a v complex but precise home security system thats both workable for civ mom + wont murder civ theives LOL) #...dont ask abt the structure of her soul (see: crest bs) cuz its lowkey HIGHKEY /extremely/ terrifying + she has no idea ++ #she has yet to at all work on processing the involved trauma At All and would def have a Very bad time if u pointed it out #([re opness] *+ her absurdist reaction times INCLUDING high speed reaction n even ADVANCED magecraft w said reaction times?? whistles) #edit: i even made an entire spreadsheet of the elder futhark + how rea uses them #even tho That level of detail is not just unecessary but counterintuive to nasuverses focus/reliance on Mystery #'the important is not the fine print just the How/What and (Broad) Methodology (mostly the former)' me vc: no <3
