No clue, probably because he has a contract with Saber at the time.

It does, even rider in Fate/Stay has magic resistance. Now that Virtualbox is working, I can prove it too.
Mind telling me what virtualbox is??

to be precise the next night, but if the blood seeping out in the morning could be taken into consideration then morning.
Illya can sense the command mantra when they are embedded AND activated. That's why she told Shirou 'if you don't summon it, you'll die' when she sensed the non-activated command mantra, and ordered Berserker to attack when he sensed Shirou's command mantra activated.

Not neccessary--any classes can have magic resistance based upon the hero they were once. However, Saber class servants receives a special bonus where the will definitely have high magic resistance.

How strong is a C-rank magic resistance?
Enough to completely nullify Rin's attacks, and partially reduce the harm from Caster's attacks.

Quote:
Iamandragon you once said shirou will grow to be 10 times stronger than archer in UBW route.In what way do you mean strong? His strength or what??
His mind--did I really say 10 times? Maybe that's an exaggeration.

Can archer traced avalon like shirou did?
Given enough mana and the blueprints, yes.

Spoiler for Avalon:
There is no limit in what UBW can trace as long as Archer/Shirou knows the target, have enough mana, and can find the material for it. Since Archer can trace Excalibur, Avalon, also made by the faries, which are of the same material, is possible to be traced. However, he just doesn't have enough mana for that.

And how does that explain shirou's traced avalon?Archer has 40 times the mana as shirou.

With the power of virtualization. It lets you execute an Operating System like an application inside another operating system. It uses a driver to execute the guest system's code directly on the processor, so you can use it to play games that don't involve 3d acceleration, or use MS word for that matter.

I use it because I run Linux as a desktop and Fate doesn't run on Linux. Allow me to demonstrate...

Spoiler for Virtualization in Action:


It saves me having to actually run the abomination that is Windows Vista.

I'm guessing Shirou can trace Avalon because he was aware it was inside of him and even once it was removed it had been such a vital part of his being that he knows it better than any other NP he's seen. I'm not sure if Archer ever knew it was in him or not. And even if he did, he doesn't have the advantage of sticking around after blowing that much mana. Shirou completely overloads his circuits to trace Avalon--such a thing would cause Archer to disappear so it wouldn't really help him anyways.

That's a good explanation, although I'm certain Archer knew that he had it because he specifically mentions this to Shirou.

More to the point, I know that UBW can only trace A++ rank items because it's mentioned in the description. Archer cannot replicate anything he doesn't understand the concept of and UBW lets him instantly comprehend the concept of any A++ weapons or lower.

Spoiler for Archer:


Of course if he were in contact with something of EX rank, that might very well be different.

Archer is only capable of tracing weapons that has the output of A++ rank because of his 'down rank sickness'--An A++ rank output traced weapon can only be achieved by tracing an EX rank weapon, which when downgraded, is A++. So far there is no any weapon higher than EX rank so UBW's maximum rank is A++.

As for Shirou tracing Avalon, one thing is because he just too Avalon out the day before, so his magic circuits in him still take the shape of it, allowing Shirou to effortlessly trace Avalon(he skipped all steps of tracing). For Archer, it has been many years that Avalon has left his body, and his magic circuits no longer remember its shape.

One question. Under a normal magician Iamandragon claimed Saber can do 3 excallibur- beam.Which means her prana is 3000+.What about other servant. Do their mana goes up too?

Their mana income increases with better magicians as masters, but their mana reserve does not.

Exactly what it sounds like. Each servant can only hold so much mana total while the income is how much mana the master can actually supply the servant with. Saber, under a good master, can hold I think 3000 mana or something like that while under Shirou she's only being provided with around 1300 or so. Shirou, as a pretty bad magus, cannot give her more than that as it's beyond his capacity. Rin, on the other hand can give Saber enough to use Excalibur twice, which takes somewhere in the nature of 1000 mana. Regardless of how much the master can give her she can still never go beyond 3000.

That's slightly off, but close nonetheless. Saber can always hold the same maximum mana of 1,000 regardless of her master. Though when Shirou returns Avalon she managed to increase her maximum mana cap to 3,000.

I can't remember the number under Kiritsugu, but according to Fuyuki under Shirou Saber has about 1200-1300 total mana capacity, 1500 under Rin and 4500 under Sakura. And each Exacliblast costs 700-800 and she could use it three times under Kiritsugu so she'd have at least 2100 mana under him. Regardless, the mana capacity does change depending on who the Master is.

Excalibur costs 1000 mana according to what Saber said. I don't remember anywhere saying Saber can hold more with different masters. The new Fuyuki is not as trustful as the old one, as many entries have been modified and does not contain references.

I used the old Fuyuki. It still exists using the web archive.

http://web.archive.org/web/200705110...om/Magic#Prana

That should be helpful to you as well Blade_Lord. It's a little hard to navigate, but if you want info on FSN that that's the place.

Does Saber die after the end of this show or does she just fall unconscious..

And is there any plans to animate Fate/hollow ataraxia...?

And are their any differences between the anime and game of Fate/stay night...and is it worth it to play the game after watching the anime?

She dies, her contract with the grail was the only thing keeping her alive. Without it, she dies.

No, and that's probably for the best.

There are MASSIVE differences between the anime and the games; of course it's worth it. The games are huge and cover stuff that was only barely touched on in the series. Not to mention the first game goes over three possible scenarios of the grail war whereas the anime only goes through one and imports scenes from the others.

Some changes...

* Rule breaker can transfer control over any servant it hits; during the second play through, Caster keeps taking extra servants under her. Including Saber and Archer.
* When the line comes "Caster, you should kill them outright instead of just making them sleep, that would be easier for all of us.", it's Archer (the red one) and not Kuzuki who says it.
* Archer is non-nerfed like in the anime.
* When Caster starts getting weak, Archer kills her and takes over as main Villain.
* You find out how the non-mage Kuzuki got a servant.
* How the non-mage Shinji got his servant.

So yes, it's worth playing because it's far better than the anime.

More like there are alternative routes you can take. The anime only animated the Fate route(first route) and mixed a little bit of the other two route, which caused some things to not make sense. The game, on the other hand, tells a much greater tale, but it takes quite long to finish playing it. One of the longest Visual Novel I have seen so far.
