Still, I'd be interested in the mechanism. Did it really alter the whole string that connects to Akasha or it just exchanged the "old" string with a new one which had the "sword" attribute, while keeping most of Shirou's personae. Soul-splicing anyone? And Avalon did this as a mere side effect.
As for the Magus being a different race, I seriously doubt that.
Eh, what? Where did you get the idea it was "filled with shadows" from?
But the soul isn't "destroyed" in the process of doing so, since the eventual result of the Grail War would have been the souls of the heroes returning to Akasha and, in the process, punching a hole that could be opened wider to allow the magus performing the ritual to get there.
Yeah, I'm not sure you even could "dissect" a soul. I believe the soul is actually indestructable.
IIRC, when a person dies their soul returns to Akasha and is torn apart, wiped of all information and the bits are reused. Souls are definitely indestructable, but they can seemingly be divided and wiped clean.
Albeit I like to think about them as "telomers" of the "soul string". Something which is only fabricated when a person exists in the physical world.
And breaks down completely once that lost its usefulness.
This is also the reason why not every human has magic circuits. It's a kind of leftover trait and modern humans should have no need of it.
Long story short magic is something that progressively becomes less necessary to humans.
This is most likely also the reason why magi dwelves to much into the past instead of just trying to develop better uses for their current magic.
Whatever makes up one's personae does not. It's merely a temporary fabrication and it slowly degrades with age. Albeit people usually die faster than that and then Akasha breaks this "personality" part completely down to forge a "new" soul.
Hmm, I'm not sure it is ever specifically stated, but it's a reasonable distance (half an hour walk or so). His house is also not on the route to school from Sakura or Rin's house.
I don't think it's ever said when Lancer is summoned, but it's very early, most likely before the prologue.
As for her betrayal, Kotomine befriended her prior to the war, and she came to trust him. Then, after she summoned Lancer, he attacked her when she wasn't expecting it and cut her arm off. And, yes, she very definitely does have feelings for Lancer. She is absolutely besotted with him.
It's not entirely clear what Sakura is capable of post-HF. However, she would still have excess prana, and she'd probably be capable of using most of the things she is capable of in her Dark form with sufficient practice. It would be difficult, though.
As for the Great Grail, it's destroyed. The Excaliblast destroys it and the cavern it is in.
Also, do you mean HF True or HF Normal? There's no such thing as "HF Good", and I'm never 100% sure which people are talking about, since HF True is a much happier ending than HF Normal is. I assume you mean HF Normal, though, since you're talking about the Grail being Excaliblasted.
It means she can access it, not that she has it stored inside her. Her body, like Rin's, can only store and use 1000 units at a time.
I believe that, as a former Grail, Sakura has a connection to Akasha, and thus infinite prana. She can't use it to access the source (at least normally), but she can draw prana from it.
Can you clarify what you're asking here? It's too vague to answer at the moment.
Magic resistance prevents direct damage from magic. It doesn't prevent damage from physical attacks with magical weapons, hence why Archer is capable of harming Saber despite his weapons being magically created.
However, I don't think a cannonball shot by a cannon could harm a servant, even if magic was used to propel it.
But, then, Nasu was never overly clear on exactly what that means, since a servant slamming another servant into a wall does cause them damage....
