Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Magic…

That page lists petrification magic as an earth spell (the only earth spell, somehow). I mostly just added it for thematic reasons, so I have no issues with getting rid of it. Like I said, though, mages can resist it by running mana through their circuits. I guess a Servant without Magic Resistance could be affected, but I feel like servants in general are too "epic" to be tripped up by the debuffs of modern mages.

Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

@vancexentanA 10-foot square that triggers when touched, with settings available around who can trigger it (a trap could be set to only activate for servants, or not to activate for designated allies, for example). As for the effects that can be produced, the available settings are an explosion, a knockout wave, restraining chains, and a petrification type effect (only 1 setting per trap). The explosion is on a level that would seriously injure a normal human. The other three could be resisted by mages, especially if they saw it coming (I forget exactly how this works, but it's the reason Shirou and Rin stayed conscious when Rider knocked out the school). None of these would bother a Servant much unless they were physically very weak, and a descent mage should be able to negate all but the explosion easily. They're really more utility, since August could dispel the chains or petrification at any time, and gets a psychic notification when one goes off.

Now that I've had to go into detail, it seems more powerful than the simple idea in my head. Thoughts?

I'm gonna tentatively say my master is complete. Sorry for the wait.

@vancexentanI'll probably go with stone animal golems, then. Unless you think it's to far-fetched for him to have that kind of training? The Thanes used to be known for stealing research so it's not crazy that he might have access to some obscure little magic tricks like that.

@vancexentanI mean flying is a pretty key feature in familiars meant for scouting and patrol. If you're saying it's unreasonable for rock birds to fly I'll probably just go back to the animal corpses.

Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

@vancexentanThat was never my plan. I was originally going with reanimating small animals with magic circuits, the way most mages do it. Making little rock creatures seems thematically better, though, as long as a rock bird can still fly.

Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

@vancexentanLike a small animal or something. I assumed that was the default, but after reading up on the subject on the wiki I guess it's worth specifying.

EDIT: Come to think of it, maybe he should build small creatures out of earth/rocks instead.

@vancexentanYou're forgetting me. Now that I'm home, I'll set to work on my master's more character-based components. How does his spell sheet look, by the way?

Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

@vancexentanI have been distracted these past few days. I'll try to have my master complete and ready for review by Thursday, though I'll likely be busy tomorrow.
