The Round Table (A collaborative fiction thread)

Yeah at that point sure but she doesn't have to use just matou methods

Well, she's somewhat limited by what they've done to her body, although it's not 100% clear how much capability she retains for using Tohsaka magecraft.

Doesn't have to be tohsaka magecraft

[Cherry Lover]

Doesn't have to be tohsaka magecraft

Well, she's somewhat limited by her magical affinity. Nasuverser magecraft isn't a case of "you can do anything", each magus has certain things they're good at (including Rin), and certain things they just can't do.

[lantzblades]

Yes but she can use her affinity to learn other water magic then the matous type

[Cherry Lover]

Yes but she can use her affinity to learn other water magic then the matous type

Well, remember that Water isn't her real affinity. The only reason she has that affinity at all is because of the Matou magic that was forced on her. So, I'm not sure that would really apply.

[lantzblades]

Her real affinity being?

[Cherry Lover]

Her real affinity being?

Imaginary Numbers. Hence all the shadow stuff.

I want to smack nasu, nonsense words do not equal a sorcery type

I want to smack nasu, nonsense words do not equal a sorcery type

Well, imaginary numbers are actually a real mathematical concept, so it's not quite "nonsense words" although, yeah, it's rather an odd affinity. It does have actual properties, though. I think the main property is that it's good for spirit-related stuff....

So then she would be the healer, just not for the masters

[Cherry Lover]

So then she would be the healer, just not for the masters

Like I said, her magic isn't particularly suited to healing. Also, servants don't really need healing, usually, and that would also require them to involve her in the story at an earlier point.

She's probably better at hurting servants than she would be at healing them, honestly. Her magic is pretty good at that, although it's obviously restricted by the fact that she's up against a Heroic Spirit....

[lantzblades]

Ok I'm stumped

[Cherry Lover]

Ok I'm stumped

What do you mean?

[lantzblades]

I have no clue how to proceed

[Cherry Lover]

I have no clue how to proceed

Proceed with what in particular?

As far as Sakura is concerned, I think we're maybe trying to work too much out right now. Perhaps we need to let some more of the story fall into place first. Do you have the post which shows what we've already worked out that I asked you to do a few days ago? That would be very helpful....
