Eh why not. It might be Mata Hari it might be one of the eternal dancers keeping Azathoth eternally dreaming. Either way it'll be interesting.

like, if everyone tried to make magecraft based on the fruit of knowledge from the garden of eden, no one would get anything useful, but if only one family did it, they'd potentially manage something impressive? hence everyone spreading out with their own specialty and keeping it a close secret?
if i recall, isn't it more that since magic draws from mystery, the more that is drawn from a particular mystery the less is gained?

Not that all magecraft would give a shit. Some of it is so disconnected from us that our knowing would be a triviality and, in addition to that, if I remember correctly there are hints that the whole theory is bullshit propaganda. Not everything the Clocktower and its buddies say has to be true. In fact it is in their best interests to lie like the bastards they are about nearly everything.
There are hints at some weird dynamic between magic and rational science where nothing is truly lost but is instead just sand moving from one half of the hourglass to the other. Its likely just the method is eroding due to reality crystalizing into a more stable base state. Fish are not able to spontaneously learn how to breath air without manifold generations to be eased into it and the same is true for the cattywampus cockamamie pseudo-physics a magus uses.
As an unrelated tidbit, I kind of imagine Shirou waking up to Sakura in a chair opposite the two lovers using Mad Jack here as a mental surrogate. We only think this is going to fuck her up but, nope, she ends up the Prime Shipper. In the creepiest way possible.
Mysteries are, unfortunately, related to one another to some degree. Works built upon the shoulders of giants and all that. I could easily see understanding eroding away at the power through connections.

All options are for Servants... save Circe? I forgot, is Circe a Servant? If so, whose?
Of the Servsants, I am only interested in our own. I'd rather look in the heads of other Masters.

My take would be that Ayako does like him for deeper reasons, but she hasn't really figured out what those are yet, because teenager. Shirou is a hard worker, he's brave enough to stand his ground on what he thinks is right, and smart enough to know when he needs an alternative. He's willing to help people because that's the right thing to do. He's even fairly honest, though not always with himself. He has problems, but they aren't things he's incapable of growing out of. These are all very good qualities.
A good foundation is important for building relationships, and that's there. She just hasn't thought enough about it to consciously know all that. Of course, step two is growing this relationship. Which is hard when there's all this grail war nonsense going on, but sometimes that's the kind of excitement a relationship needs.

The more known something is, the simpler it is to do it for everyone, but the less you can do with that thing.
Its like going from Lightning as the wrath of gods to electricity in household appliances.
Needless to say the people with the power are rather unhappy to diminish it to make it easier for other people to have it.
As others said, its complicated.

Their relationship is very early days, given that they haven't been able to sit down and talk about their feelings vis-a-vis each other until now. And then the Grail War happened and Ayako became another person Shirou has to protect. I'm not saying it's absolutely doomed, but it's messy right now and that's not going to get easier any time soon.

I feel there's a difference, in that Ayako herself isn't involved in the HGW except tangentially. Rin and Shirou or Saber and Shirou stand as equals, while Sakura and Shirou are still both Masters and also personally involved with the main players. Ayako's only here because of Shirou, and there's just going to be less opportunities for them to connect then there are for the other possible pairings.
I'm thinking way too hard about this/I like this ship I swear.

I was torn between Medea and Mordred, but I choose the later because there Is communciation and understanding to be Made between her and Shirou.
Mordred as she Is...she isn't really there. And outside Artoria's presence, I feel she Is just incapable of caring.
Btw, there Is no Way Circe isn't watching those two dorks and just having a great time.
Also, if Shirou can dream about Circe, Medea, Mordred and even Ritsuka, who says Taiga isn't starting to have Mata Hari's dreams?
The same would be going for Sakura and EMIYA, and Illya with Medusa
