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.

Sad that this isn't set in the 60s or 70s. We could have had Sauron run across J. R. R. Tolkien.

As is, I wouldn't worry about Sauron. He's in the same country as Flat Escardos right now. That guy freaked out Jack the Ripper (not the loli version).

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.
It did not use a seal. Just a crapton of magic.

Results so far.
 
[X] [Try and talk her down]

Switching my vote as I'm genuinely curious has to how Shirou would talk his possessed girlfriend down. Appeal to her sense of right and wrong? That doesn't appear to be in full working condition going by her family, but she might've gotten them before they could say anything. Could also point out the two servants are on their way to him, plus Circe. Not sure how powerful she is right now, but I don't fancy her odds in a three-on-one. More if his sister gets involved. Speaking of, this probably won't get her into the good books of said sister, nor of Taiga and her farther, who are pretty much family. Which is a problem for future dating prospects. Now sure, those are kinda odd concerns in this situation, but might hit more to this kinda odd Ayako.

He could also hit her with his own hero complex. That probably wouldn't work, but who knows?

Shirou has a sister?

Yeah, not sure if the tally is reading it like this, or of this is a valid option. I dont anticipate much success just lunging for the wand, we need Ayako's backup.

He'd probably feel horribly guilty afterwards, but he could try and grab some Ayako booty and hopefully startle her into dropping the wand herself.
 
Poor silly mind-whammied Ayako, doesn't even realize she's absolutely main-lining magic.
I'd say more like she got jumped by the magic and hasn't been able to shake it off despite her best efforts, though her efforts have been damn impressive all the same.

She's too fast to get caught if he just makes a lunge for the stick, but I think if anything Shirou can talk her into either lowering her guard or just giving him the stick. Surely this won't end badly for anyone!

Ayako really got into some shenanigans, I can't tell if this not being the prisma wand is better or worse
