Sorry for the really late update, life kind of threw me to the wolves
You look at the being before you and ponder his question. Just who is he? What is he? Also comes to mind, but you believe that the answers to such questions may be similar they are also different. There are thousands if not tens of thousands of answer that fly through your head when you catch a glimpse of this man's features. But something comes to mind "You are Magnus's father" you reply.
"Am I?" the figure responds. "I suppose you could say that I am, the way a being such as yourself would see me means that I am and that I am not. Magnus would call me his father and mean it, others would not." You would call it strange but you are glimpsing every aspect of humanity at once and yet none of them when you catch a glimpse of his features hidden behind the darkness of his hood. For some reason when he speaks you feel hollow and empty, like a part of you is missing.
"You are in possession of the sheathe but not the sword" Magnus's father states "though it does contain the blueprint, for myself that is more than enough." You can only scrape the barest understanding of what he is saying, but it appears that Magnus father is holding out his hand before him for some reason. In his hands a sword takes shape, for some reason when you gaze upon it you feel the urge to avert your gaze in shame. The blade before you is beyond the comparison of words. to add words to describe the majesty of the scene before you would only dirty it. It is glory incarnate, the cultivation of of hopes and prayers. It is the strongest fantasy of humanity, the sword named Excalibur.
"Avert not your gaze from this reality" Magnus's father commands and your treacherous neck and eyes obey, forcing you to gaze upon the radiance of the blade once more. "Gaze upon this fantasy and understand your hollow nature. While the it is not the blade I was familiar with in a way it is far superior. Despite the folly of my son Magnus if I were to possess this, my dream for humanity would be more than salvageable. Something which it can't even be due to his folly."
Magnus's father turns to look at you, Even his direct gaze is also dwarfed by the light of Excalibur "But I cannot have it unless it is brought to me, or to be exact you are brought to me" he informs you. "As you are now you and by extension this blade are beyond my reach, even beyond the reach of those you seek to destroy all that I have created. Perhaps I may forgive Magnus his transgression, perhaps not."
Closing the distance between the two of you Magnus's father plunges Excalibur into your chest, no he is plunging into whatever it is you have in place of a soul. "Magnus may still be of use to me" his father states as the last of Excalibur vanishes into your being. "You will also be" he states not bothering to even check to see if you are listening, for some reason his words reach your through the agony you are suffering right now. "I have inscribed that blade into the fabric of your existence, like Magnus I have seen the trials ahead of you, think of it as a gift from a grandfather to his grandson if you will. Or maybe a father to his son, you are Magnus's creature if not a shard of his. You are permitted to tell MAgnus that I forgive his transgressions, though you need not."
The waves of the ocean long forgotten start to violently crash around you and swallow you hole, the last you see of Magnus's father is burning eyes of fire staring into the very fabric of your being before you are washed away with the tide.
Gained Trait: Excalibur Imbued ???????
<Shirou> Magnus's voice calls out to you <Shirou?>
You open your eyes or at least think you do and see your sensei's conflicted gaze <Shirou have you returned to the realm of the thinking?> Why is he asking you such a bizarre and random question? <You lost your abbility to exist as a sentient being after I branded you> he replies no doubt knowing what you were thinking. You saw his father, he did something to you.
