No, mana is still a separate thing from prana, which itself is just a word given to make "magical energy made from combining energy from the world and energy from inside your body" sound less generic and more fancy, and much less of a mouthful.
No, what I'm saying is that "prana" was a made up translation most likely because "magic energy" is a mouthful. I don't know where it originated though, but I do know that mirror moon used "magical energy" and I think Fate/Extra at least used "magic". It's NOT "mana" at least because "mana" was actually used to refer to the Greater Source of magic energy, which is the outside world's.
Prana means "life force" in Sanskrit. I imagine that's where the term comes from: it seems a good match for how human-level magic gets treated.
Nope. You could make a case for exchanging the two, maybe, though that would be mythologically odd, but there's a real distinction that has to be translated somehow.
Wiki says that the higher the Rank of Divinity, the closer you are to being a Divine Spirit and Divine Spirits are supported by the Earth. I read somewhere that high ranks in Divinity do the same thing but at a much much smaller level.
Because she is a bitch and she hates losing.
Because we're assholes who are going to kill her one day.
I get the feeling that being in the Nasu-verse is generally not fun.
"Magic" is fucking up Gaias system. It shouldn't exist without Gaia.
Well, nothing is going against the magic in space since you're not in Gaia's domain, but is there even any mana in space to do magic with?
That applies to every sustainable magic. Gaia doesn't like anyone breaking her rules.
Well, if you get magic from using one of two energies you wouldn't be able to use the external one. Might be able to use the one people make, Od, for the acts. Don't know of this beyond FSN LN, so my knowledge isn't the best.
There are grains/gin, but I don't think there's anything that uses it other than Black Barrel which is more of an "Anti-Grain" weapon. Besides, it's kind of poisonous.
That makes sense actually, If you think about reality the first thing that comes to mind is earth. So if the only reality in existence is your own that's what you would perceive. If a non-mage went into space expecting it to be a vacuum then that's what they would get, if multiple people were in the same space then it'd be whoever believes in reality the most or something. this made more sense in my head
Lancer named his attack as Gáe Bolg during his fight wth Saber. That narrows him down to either Sétanta or Scáthach. It cannot possibly be Scáthach since Lancer is a man and Scáthach is a woman. So Lancer has to be Sétanta, the Hound of Culann.Well then, I very much look forward to reading your impressions
But out of curiosity, how do you figure who Lancer is then?
