魔法 - Magic In this world, magic is prepared as “programs”, and arias or concentration are used as triggers for activation. Magic users set these programs within themselves or in a Magic Activation Complex to perform magic. Mana (magic power), the energy used to activate magic, is generated from within the user’s body, and the nature and capacity of this energy differs between people. People who undergo training and master magic are called “mages.” From disaster relief to investigations, mages are active in a variety of settings. So either we have a faulthy translation (or interpetation), or someone at Seven Arcs wasn't paying atention. I myself am guessing misinterpetation, as the article that talks about magic in the 'atmosphere' quickly talks about the replenishment of said energy supposedly 'gathered from the atmosphere' through food. At any rate, I myself am more comfortable with going with the canon that does not contradict a previous source. Spoiler for Linker Core Disc 3:

*Sigh*
It was too easy, so of course it would fail. *Goes back to the drawing board* *EDIT* How about making it a function of Asuna's Linker Core? Say for instance it creates a kind of natural AMF that repels linked mana formed from outside the barrier without blocking anything formed within it? This could grow stronger as Asuna rises through the mage ranks; instead of her being naturally immune to S-rank spells, she'll have to work for that kind of immunity.

We see Hayate getting the shaft so badly, we can conclude that whether Keroko exists or not is completely up to us, since if it were up to Tsuzuki, he could create a 4th Ace and still have her completely pushed off the table.
And let's not even consider what would happen to a male Ace, and one that takes 5th place. This will completely blunten any power canon has to disprove Kha's existence on the basis of a total no-show. Interesting thoughts, interesting thoughts...

Hmm... Now that I think about it, both Kha and Keroko made their own Aces to go with the young Ace Trio of Canon...
Now why didn't I make a similar Ace as well...? Looks like I shafted myself there as well...<.<

Void Magic A rare form of elemental affinity which converts the user's mana into a form which easily resists and breaks apart linked mana and spell constructs that are matched against it. Void Magic is ideal for usage in shields and defensive spells and extremely useful in offensive spells as well, as it can be used to penetrate magical shielding and crack open force fields. The strength of the effect depends entirely on the strength of the void mage's linker core, so stronger spells can only be countered by stronger void mages. Further, shaping and controlling void magic at a distance is much more difficult than normal magic is, even with the aid of a high-end Intelligent device, which necessitates that most void mages keep their spells close to the body, leading most to adopt the Neo or Ancient Belka systems or similar close-combat-oriented magic systems. If I go with this model, Asuna will probably start out as a B-rank like the rest of the Forwards, and her Void magic will only afford her increased resistance to spells above her level, not outright cancellation. Anything at her level, though...

Lowe speaks muchas Truth. And here's the biggest bite: He's male and old. The shaft would be so bad...
But don't look at it that way. Somehow Grandis just doesn't fit into things as much as Aurion did; Keroko was the Ace who wasn't not a Sue; Kha was the Ace who wasn't a girl; Aurion was the Ace who isn't a frontliner. Each OC Ace just changed 1 part of the Ace formula, and has been there ever since. So Oji-chan is as much a part of the A Team as everyone else.

Just to bring up a somewhat insignificant seeming but nevertheless important point...
But while we've been flinging relationship accusations here there and everywhere over which pairings are established, there is no reason they couldn't all be.... <_< >_> and no, I'm not talking about polygamy, either, (except possibly in the case of Caro X Erio X Lutecia) Rather, there's been this unwarranted assumption that all relationships that we establish must succeed...which, as we all know, is not necessarily the case... That is to say, while it'a all well and good trying to establish the pairings of characters now, there's been a marked tendency to ignore the possibility of any other relationships that may have existed in the past, and/or, that may yet exist in the future if the current ones don't work out. Even if Hayate Is paired with Grandis Now, that does nothing to prove that she wasn't previously involved with Aurion in the past (fell apart because of the age gap?) Similarly, Nanoha x Fate and Nanoha X Yuuno may both actually have happened/be happening, and the only pertinent detail may be the order in which they happened/happen! In other words, there is nothing saying these characters have not had other relationships in the past, nor that they won't have others in the future... we don't have to be limited by just one pairing per character! damn, surely the Aces are going to have had some other prospective suitors...after all, they've probably got half the Bureau lusting after them secretly (or not so secretly, in the case of Subaru...) |

Interesting you raised this issue up, might as well through a titbit in.
The people in IRC know that Fate in future is going to die young, and I've been mulling over the plot progressions in that distant future. But unlike CLANNAD, the idea of remarrying is definitely on the table, and quite a few issues have been brought in, like the events of growing old and stuff. But its so far away that I've haven't given it much thought; To be honest, fanon for me ended 4 years before StrikerS, in Cente Gravia. When I look at my notes, there is so much life and change from A's Destiny to Cente Gravia. Past that, everything kinda got set in stone, old and aging, mere extensions of a timeline that was supposed to end with a rosy, unchanging outlook of life ahead. Like A's Destiny, a picture-perfect, still photograph. But I guess it is a fantasy of a life-long love. I do believe most of us strive for one, and this hope tends to play out in our fiction.

Indeed good point storm raised up. Even then implied relationships don't always have to work out; or can't work out in the future after failing once.
And as for pairings/relationships, I do believe everyone here has one they want to write out but hasn't due to any combination of reasons. On my end I have been stuck at setting the scenario for a cursed love between device and master that I have been wondering lately if I should just jump the gun and straight into it. >_>

At first glance I think it may be a little strong, exceding in both, defence and offence. But you already said you only use it for Asunas better spell resistance. So I think it passes for now.

Ah... not quite. Better spell resistance applies against spells cast by mages stronger than her. They'll still penetrate her shielding, but they'll have a harder time of it and not as much energy will get through to her. Spells cast by mages below her rank will have their effects significantly decreased or even canceled altogether if they meet one of her shields, and offensively-used void magic can be used to break shields, like I mentioned, though the strength of the shield still factors in significantly; this isn't an Instant Shield Killer like what SLB+ has, or Arf's Barrier Break spell, just an enhancement to offensive power when applied against magical defenses.
Keep in mind, everyone of a mage rank lower than Asuna is probably going to be a mook or otherwise cannon fodder--at least at first, with her starting out around B-rank with the Forwards--who wouldn't have much chance against "hero units" anyways. And obviously Void magic has no effect against non-magical attacks like what Jail's toys are working with. Basically this grants Asuna enhanced offensive melee and defensive power when matched against energy-type spells. Physical spells are less affected by this ability. So the net effect is to make Asuna noticeably stronger than the average mage of a similar rank in certain situations. This is hardly a catch-all defensive ability like the Saint's Armor; it has plenty of weaknesses waiting to be exposed.

====== If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to request a little help from fellow authors/readers here. As it is, I'm still continuing with GuardianS (albeit woefully slow, no thanks to the distraction I have in the form of Playstation 2), and the next chapter is building up nicely, currently pegged at ~8k words. The entire plot is almost reaching its first climax already (if we follow Freytag's analysis), so what I wanted to ask from all of you is whether the story is missing anything that has been nagging in your mind, however big or small. It can be characterization, plot holes, structure, cohesion, anything you find particularly odd or confusing that hasn't been resolved in the story. While I do keep myself to the plot that I've planned out so far, there are times when things just didn't come to mind at the time of writing, and these would most probably result in a holes that are most difficult to retrace. Given the pace and length, it wouldn't be surprising that these would be overlooked on my part, so I'd like them to be resolved, either as a side-note or implemented entirely in the plot later (if applicable). If those questions would later be answered in the planned plot, I'd say it as such, so there's no worry of spoiling the entire story. This would serve as a great idea proposition as well as reminder for myself. You can ask anything, don't worry about it. I appreciate the help very much. Thanks a lot. |
