Not sure right now. Mostly because I'm still unsure of how Magic Circuits would work in the context of Exalted.
A mutation that unlocks a form of magic? One that replicates Sorcery in some ways?

Does he still even have the crest, or was it burnt away entirely? It'd kinda suck if he couldn't pass it to someone or something, but w/e.
Magic Circuits are probably a rough approximation for motes and essence level. Comparatively though, Kiritsugu, being an Exalt, should basically be made of Magic Circuits now.
Or at the very least, whatever native ones he has are now drawing directly from his Shard rather than pulling anything at all from The World.
(If I might make a suggestion, keep the Magic Circuits and use them as visual fluff for when he channels essence. Likewise I'd make the Crest a way to access a Flurry that's wholly inefficient compared to Exalted magic, costing LHL or AHL whenever he uses it.)

Like Data said, Bounded Fields aren't covered in the games or books well. My thinking was basically that we would need to spend motes to take down the field, when using magecraft would have been a lot easier for Kiri. It just seems like a waste to have to use motes when prana would have worked.
Basically, it's taking the time to learn charms or sorcery that would work versus methods Kiri is much more familiar with and not using up time.

After having mulled over this for a bit, I've decided that Magic Circuits are not mutations that the player character can get with By Rage Recast. The Magic Circuit Mutation is similar to the Enlightened Essence Mutation, which means that on Exalts it's simply wasted points since it does not enhance ones mote pool or mote recovery.
Based on the wiki, they either attack you or act like "muggle repelling spells" from Harry Potter series. Kiritsugu should be able to handle both now. Impervious Primacy Mantle makes such mental influence unacceptable orders (Because Malfeas won't do what you tell him to do damnit!", and any fitting perfect defense would block attacks (if its in a place of habitation, Ablation of Brass and Fire has any attack bounce off in a spray of brass shavings and barks).
So really, he should just be able to walk through?

Book of Ten Thousand Scorpions, which make it possible for Kiritsugu to become pregant with his own parthenogenic clone (with Anima Banner acting as a womb), kill Jubstacheit von Einzbern, remove the Einzbern crest, inhale Jubstacheits corpse and make it into the father, and finally give birth to an Einzbern/Emiya in 15 months.

I know a lot of people seem to think that doc is mine, but it's not.
Huh, didn't notice that until now. It's the first thing that comes up on Google for "EarthScorpion Infernal Charms", but yeah, closer inspection says its someone else's.

Say boss man. Do you know nasu? And what a bounded field is? If you don't it's essentially a worked magic creating a boundary in which certain effects stand sorta of like barriers. If you were say take something like Inuyasha for example that aura of that Holy mountain that purified demons would be a bounded field.
Given this would you say that the interaction with and setting up of would be more of a work of special charms or Thaumaturgy? Or even , Sorceroy and Geomancy?
As I talk it out it seems more and more likely the latter esepecially with the Leyline interactions required to make them self propragating.

Since he doesn't have his mysteries anymore, probably will want to learn useful Thaumaturgy and geomancy.
Is there a GSNF upgrade that works for ranged attacks?
Combine it with a gun and 'fun!'
Does that mean Kiritsugu still has his mysteries, he just needs to figure out different means to use them, instead of with his magic circuits?

There is one, though I think you need to buy it twice for it work on all weapons (1st purchase on arrows/basic weapons, 2nd purchase on essence cannons and other artifacts).
There also one where you don't need a gun at all, and can just send out deadly blasts of green radioactive fire from any part of your body. <Insert innuendo>.

You sigh. "You know Kiritsugu, you could try talking with me in your thoughts. I am in your head after all."
He doesn't say anything, but you feel his impatience with you.
"Anyways, I'm in your head because it's part of the process of giving you your Exaltation. Don't worry about me influencing you magically. Free Will is the cornerstone of exaltation. I am merely intended to guide and advise you."
He sighs in grudging acceptance. "Alright, but what did happen to me?"
"Well, you agreed to my deal." You say. "The process of the Exaltation merged us together, turning my body into a Chrysalis for you to sit in for 5 days, and connecting my soul to yours."
"And my Circuits?"
"I do not know what Circuits are..." You pause, as he starts reviewing what he knows about Circuits. "So they are the method your Sorcerer's use to gather Essence? They seem rather dangerous to the user."
"You can read my mind?"
"I'm in your head, remember?"
"Fine. Continue."
"The Exaltation removes all detrimental mutations from the user. In exchange, you are now an enlightened essence user of the greatest caliber - an Exalted." You smile. "The Exalted are humans blessed with enormous power, free to do with it as they please. You were given your powers by the Yozis through me, but it can never be taken away from you, save on your deathbed. You will live longer than many of your peers, and have limitless capacity for growth and advancement. You have been severed from the cruelties of Fate and Destiny, and bound to a future you create."
He seems to be a little bit amused by your last statement. "And your Masters? 'Unquestionable Ligier'. 'The Yozis'?"
"My masters are called the Yozis. They are not gods. They were once the Primordials who created reality and gods to oversee and manage it. But the gods, in their lust to possess what their makers held, betrayed them. They created the first Exalted, tricked humans into fighting against the Rightful lords, and destroyed the order of the world. The Solar Exalted lead the charge, supported by the shapeshifting Lunars and the secretive Sidereals. Under they were the Dragon-blooded, Elemental Exalted whose power was passed through bloodline. Together, they murdered 13 of the Primordials, creating the Underworld, and bound the rest inside the body of Malfeas, the King. They named the Primordials the Yozis, Demon Kings, and then strove to rule Creation. But the world collapsed in fire and war. Now, the Yozis have created their own Exalted, the Green Sun Princes, whose power derives from the Yozi's own strength. You have been blessed with powers derived from Malfeas the Demon City, whose Heart is Unquestionable Ligier, Adorjan the Silent Wind, and the Ebon Dragon, Shadow of all Things."
"These other Exalted. Where are they?"
"The Solars ruled over the land for millennia, but then were overthrown by their Dragon-blooded soldiers and disappeared. The Sidereals hid themselves from the world. The Lunars fled to the edges of the world, and the Dragon-blooded have ruled Creation since. Except.... This is not the Creation I remember. Besides you and that strange mud, I have not witnessed any magical being. No curious spirits, no crusading Dragon-blooded or half-spirit. Your people use carriages without horses, and live in buildings I have only seen rivaled by the Demon City."
"I see. So you don't know." He says.
"No."
"Fine. What will the other Exalted do if they meet me?"
"What will a human do if they meet you? The Exalted are no longer united. They will each have their own goals and ideals. Only the Dragon-blooded are united, due to the fact that the power passes through bloodline. A single Dragon-blooded warrior will be dangerous, but you will rarely find a single Dragon-blooded."
He nods, and then mentally dismisses you. He puts some coins in the payphone, and dials a number. It rings a few times, and then an old voice answers.
"Who is this? How'd you get this number?"
"Fujimura, it's Kiritsugu."
A pause. "Kiritsugu? I thought you were dead."
"I'm not."
"Good. So tell me. Who caused that fire? I lost some good investments in that blaze, and I'd like to pay him back for it."
He pauses. "He died in the fire."
"Was he one of those from the... darker side of the world?"
"Yes."
"A pity then. So what do you want?"
"Two things. I've misplaced my house key and need an extra."
"Easy enough."
"And you remember that gun I asked you to hold onto for me?"
"The modified Thompson?"
"Yes. I need it."
"... you should come by and watch a sumo match with me."
Kiritsugu smiles. "Alright. I'll come by."
He hangs up, and his face goes blank again. He dismisses his shadow, and begins to walk.
What will you do?
