I have a theory. Someone in the Academy accidentally stumbled upon a very intelligent sword shortly before the story, and decided that it was an interesting artifact. Talking weapons are rare, after all. Then , Mathilda steals it, along with the Vanilla Staff of Destruction. That staff has only one shot, unfortunately and Mathilda completely misses a very hyper agile Arf. She resorts to using the sword. To bad that requires her to get close to Arf. And AMF does not affect Strike Arts as badly as other ranged magics, so after twenty seconds of hand to hand combat, Arf outmaneuvers Mathilda and hits her from behind, and takes the talking sword away from her, and knocks her out with the flat edge of the sword. Bonus if Arf casts struggle bind, hampering Mathilda's mobility till she becomes a sitting duck against Arf. Especially if Arf has no access to her shooting spells initially, due to problems connecting and adapting her lightning affinity main battle spells to Louise's unusual zero affinity. Realizing she has a portable, AMF Device which exhibits the same levels of awareness of an Intelligence Device, she convinces Louise to claim the artifact as a reward for their efforts against Mathilda. She plays on the fact that Louise intends on getting a proper weapon for Arf anyway, for appearance sake rather than gauntlets. In my first draft I put on the fanfiction forums, I had Arf come in with an Intelligence Device of her own. Unfortunately, it's not optimized for combat, and she has alot of problems invoking it's more advanced forms, again because Louise's magic is very unusual and requires work to get use to. So initially, she has to use the Hax Derflinger AMF to win the day against Wardes, and a hypothetical Tabitha duel. She can't simply shoot them to bits while evading all spells flung at her since Louise is having problems supplying her with that kind of mana to engage in beam-spam, at first, and since she has to adapt Louise's strange affinities and magic system to her spells. Once she get's her device working properly though, she decides to train Louise on the use of Derflinger, because of the painfully long cast time of most of Louise's spells. Nothing like a good AMF to protect the artillery. Here's another idea. Could Derflinger and the Founder's Prayer Book be somehow related? Perhaps part of the same general weapon system that Brimir used six millenniums ago? Only problem is, you'd need a full TSAB Lab specializing in Lost Logias to restore it to anything resembling functionality.... Hmm , a mad Louise = a Beamspamming Wolf? |

I find most of your reasoning amusing but i would like to point here that Arf seems to lack Fate's Lightning MCA, while she's able to use various of Fate's spells, those seem to lack that lightning/electricity effect that is present with those casted by the blonde. More notable in MOVIE 1st where Arf used a wider variety of shooting spells than in the original series.

I guess I betrayed my ignorance of parts of the Nanoha-verse, since I postulated that Familiars share their master's MCA. Until I remember Signum and her Fire MCA. But if Arf's style does not revolve around her mistress MCA and lightning preference exclusively, I'd say if she was marooned in an alien dimension with no immediate means of getting home , she'd plausibly break out some other parts of her Arsenal that she or Fate might not usually use. For example, the Vivid technique to break binds could be use to disrupt levitations. And I'd imagine that the Water splitting trick will make an impressive show... How plausible is a Post-Striker S (actually, Post-Force) Arf instructing Louise on some points of swordsmanship? After all, Fate is implied to be a very good swords-women (why else does she use Zanber form?), and her familiar is implied to share her abilities.... |

Positive, i mean, i haven't tought of some of those points and i think some of those could be hard to execute smoothly but i don't deny they have some potential so i'm open to be impressed/convinced xD.

Just a slight over-exertion.... by the way , what are the other effects of Impeding Linker Core exhaustion? (Besides Nanoha's breakdown) Quote:

Oh, and the ZnT anime is , IMO , not as good a source as the Light Novels itself. There's alot axed from the Light novels. By the way , how much more broken would the Runes make the wielding of even a support class Intelligence Device? |

^Considering every other crossover out there, I'd say it's likely. Ofc it's too early since we have too little information about the world yet, but I can see it happening. Opening a wormhole, a dimensional ship takes a wrong turn, or what have you.

You know, I think I really could make Touhou and Lyrical Nanoha fit together in the same universe, at least as far as explaining the existence of youkai.
It's the gods and ghosts that gum things up. Which is a shame, because one could write a really interesting story in which the Jewel Seeds fell into Gensokyo, touching off a dangerous disturbance in the current balance of power. You thought the Jewel Seeds were bad with normal kittens and trees? Imagine what happens when Stage 6 bosses have those things fall in their laps. Poor Yuuno. Not only does he need to recollect the Jewel Seeds, he needs to avoid getting zapped by that vexingly invincible miko and keep that maniacal witch from stealing Raising Heart. And he's still only nine years old, so even the HUMANS are treating him like a child. |

The Lunarians are basically Al Hazared Lite.
Eirin is like Presea, if Presea had manage to live and study magic for over 4000 years. The Brain of the Moon thus performs spells that make Presea's interdimensional ship-destroyer look like nothing. Why would I nerf her, or the youkai race that she allegedly created? |

Villains? We're talking about Touhou. There are no villains.
Well, the new bunch are quite possibly the exception. Religious wars, conspiracies of oppression, murder, arson, desecration of the dead... If you're talking about Fate and Arf trying to steal the Jewel Seeds, well, I hope they pick on someone who's nice. Pretty much, that means avoiding the Jewel Seed that landed in that field of sunflowers. |

Nine year old Ferret Boy means that you are limited to the cast from pre-windows games up to Perfect Cherry Blossom. And possibly Immaterial and Missing Power. Yeah, no genre savvy Sanae. Also, Yuuno won't even register in Yuuka's radar.
