Fortunately, every version of Shirou is equally driven to be a hero, so there's absolutely no way it would affect him poorly. And even if it does, better that Shirou suffer unimaginably in the name of saving someone else, right?
You don't know that for sure.
The Wand is connected to Ayako's mind. Forget the high jump. The high jump is Shirou being admirably stubborn. Archery is Shirou being a ruggedly handsome zen master of the bow, while also putting in time as Ayako's super reliable and helpful Kohai. The Wand has seen Shirou at his cutest through Ayako's memories.

Those two don't count. Ango is simulated Emiya and Alter was messed up by that priest woman.
Yee. This probably isn't the intention, but there's something funny about a heroic and serious character being forced to act in a cheery but twisted, yet still kinda heroic way.
Someday I'll stop being surprised by something reminding me that Sauron is in this story, but that day is not today.
He prefers you forget him.
Britain is a silly place, and it's very easy to forget it exists.
We actually have 3 Seals for Medea, we haven't used them for anything. And somewhat-disabling Bazaka for a while was not using the Seal, it was using Shirou's magic to clear Mordred's head, therefore, it effectivebly increases Mordred's mana cost. So we hace 2 Seals with Mordred.
It seems pretty clearly worded to indicate that we used up a second Seal, between Medea saying "the Seal will do the rest", the seal flashing, feeling that fading sensation, etc.
Oh well, that may be the case.
