The UniverseWP (宇宙, Uchū?), also called the Space-Time ContinuumWP (時空, Jikū?), is everything that exists, including space, time, matter, and energy.
Characteristics[]
While it is not explicitly confirmed, the universe is implied to have emerged during the Big BangWP (ビッグバン, Bigguban?),[1][2] roughly 13.8 or 14.6 billion years ago.[1][3] For example, when ORT created Grand Foreigner, he was able to redefine its Zone of Origin to 14.6 billion years ago.[3] Furthermore, it expandsWP exponentially through a process from astronomy called Inflation.[2]
While the universe is implied to be infinite in size,[4] humans are only able to interact with a fraction of it called the Observable UniverseWP (観測宇宙, Kansoku Uchū?).[1] The reason for this is that it is impossible to exceed the speed of light with their current understanding of the Laws of PhysicsWP.[5] Due to this, Humanity's technology is currently limited to observing a range of 13.8 billion Light-years from Earth, the distance Light has been able to cover since the Big Bang.[1] That boundary is called the Event HorizonWP (事象の地平, Jishō no Chihei?).[6] That being said, while humans lack the scientific knowledge or technology to reach outside the Observable Universe,[1] entities from other universes have been able to reach Earth:[7][8][1]
- Dark Star Terminals - The entities summoned by Daybit Sem Void are from a Dark Star that was blasted 14 billion Light-years away during the Big Bang to a place outside the whole universe. Due to this, their source is too far for even light to reach Earth.[1]
- Machine Gods - Chaos spent 97% of its resources to send the Machine God fleet to Humanity's universe to find a new planet to colonize.[8]
- Outer Gods - Entities that originate from the Outer Universe.[7]
- Servant (Servant Universe)
- Velber - According to Archimedes, Velber is from the Outer Universe.[9] This was also implied by Zepar during the Salem Subcategory Singularity when he claimed that Raum's plan to have a Foreigner from a Different Universe destroy humanity had already been attempted and had failed during 12,000 BC.[7]
The universe is full of matter and energy. Over millions of years, large quantities of elements like carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and helium, along with gas and interstellar dust, are able to accumulate and form large spherical objects known as a Planet Egg. This isn't a particularly unusual, special, or rare phenomenon. On the contrary, it's a regular cosmic occurrence, happening more frequently than daily births in a civilized society. They are as simple to form and to disappear as a discarded chicken egg. However, the universe is divided into multiple sectors, some of which have been entrusted with the potential to develop intelligent life. These sectors contain a Soul that nurtures life, planting Planet Egg seeds infused with an Archetype of Creation to ultimately create an Living Planet with the potential to develop Intelligent Life.[10] However, the chances of this happening are near zero.[11]
The universe has a finite amount of energy,[12] and therefore, a finite life span.[13] Nevertheless, the universe allows for countless possibilities and creates many Parallel Worlds and Alternate Histories with different developments. However, the universe's energy spent managing the timelines remains finite, so it would be unsuntainable to let them branch off indefinitely. The universe is able to conserve energy by pruning worlds that have veered too far from the strongest, most stable timelines. This process, known as the Culling, is activated on every Quantum Time-Lock.[14][12]
The vastness of the world view of Buddhism is much greater than other religions, encompassing the universe as the kingdom of the Buddha. It uses numerical concepts like NayutaWP (10^60) and MuryoutaisuuWP (10^68) to display their magnitude, and the size of the universe is the great trichiliocosmWP, composed of one thousand medium trichiliocosm, which are composed of one thousand galaxies, small trichiliocosm each made up of three thousand worlds. It is on the scale of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters known in the modern era, interpreted over two thousand years ago. Furthermore, Bodhisattvas are stated to be gods of universal scale and power who can easily manage things on the scale of the Solar System.[15]
In the Hindu world, Shiva is the god who administers the "destruction of the universe" through the unfathomable power of his third eye.[16][4] Similarly, both the thunderbolts of Zeus and his Lostbelt counterpart are stated to possess the Authority to incinerate the entire universe.[17][18][19][8] However both seem to be limited to their Texture rather than the entire universe.
Structure[]
Galaxy[]
A GalaxyWP (銀河, Ginga?) is a massive, gravitationally bound system of Stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter.[citation needed]
Known Galaxies:
- Milky WayWP (天の川, Amanogawa?): Humanity also calls it The Galaxy (銀河系, Gingakei?, lit. "Galaxy System") to differentiate it from other galaxies.[20]
- Sombrero
- Magellan
- Seyfert
- Quasar
- Shining Blue Galaxy: Similar to the Milky Way, the Shining Blue Galaxy is regarded as the Servant Universe's own "Galaxy".[20]
Galaxy Class[]
Galaxy Class (銀河級, Ginga-kyū?)
Nebula[]
A NebulaWP is a vast cloud of gas and dust in space.
Known Nebulas:
Star System[]
A Star SystemWP (星系, Seikei?) is a small group of one or more Stars that are bound together by gravity and orbit a common center of mass.
Known Star Systems:
- Solar SystemWP (太陽系, Taiyōkei?): The Solar System where Humans live. It is a sector tasked with planting Planet Eggs and nurturing life.
Parallel Universes[]
Outside our Universe (外の宇宙, Soto no Uchū?, lit. "Outside the Universe") exist Different Universes (別の宇宙, Betsu no Uchū?, localized as "Parallel Dimensions").[7] These Other Universes (別宇宙, Betsu Uchū?)[22][23][24] are known as Parallel Universes (並行宇宙, Heikō Uchū?),[25][26][27][28] and each one exists self-contained in its own Space-Time Continuum.[29]
Jacques de Molay implied that the culprit behind the Halloween Rising Singularity may have been from another universe.[22]
At the end of Saber Wars II, Space Ishtar seemed to imply that the Servant Universe is both a Parallel Universe and a Parallel World.[30] It's unclear if both terms refer to the same concept. This would seem to contradict the Salem Subcategory Singularity, where Zepar stated that the Outer Universe's status as a different universe meant it was beyond the scope of Parallel Worlds.[7]
Mysterious Heroine XX claims that Nagiko's mallet is Servant Universe-made type loaded with Parallel Universe interference rounds, prohibited by a treaty.[31]

Class: Berserker
True Name: Archetype:Earth
Gender: Female Body
Alignment: Lawful Chaotic
Origin: Tsukihime
Region: Earth
Height/Weight: About 200 meters when emerging (depending on the CG)
About 100 meters when stabilized (as big or bigger than the tallest building in the city. Adapts to the level of nearby civilization)
※Its weight stays the same no matter the state—being the same as the normal Arcueid. Given that it’s just the lifeforce spilling out from Earth given shape, if pressed to give an answer, I’d say its weight would be the mass of Earth, or something. So, no matter the action it takes, as long as it’s on the surface of Earth, it’s not heavy, and so its weight doesn’t cause any damage to the terrain—meaning, when the Luminary walks, it doesn’t cause the ground to sink in or anything like that. However, this does not apply to man-made objects.
If normal Arcueid is:
Strength: B Endurance: B Agility: B Magic: A Luck: B Noble Phantasm: EX
Then Luminary Arcueid is:
Strength: E Endurance: EX Agility: B Magic: A++ Luck: EX Noble Phantasm: D
Personal Skills
■ Marble Phantasm: D
Though Arcueid normally has this at A, here it has been ranked down to D.
True Ancestors in a Luminary state can only use Marble Phantasm in an approximate manner.
Due to having turned into a Luminary, she cannot construct any detailed fantasies.
■ Event Storage: EX
The ability to conceptually and physically store things that have been cultivated on the surface of Earth.
The confiscation of all creations birthed on the surface of the planet—its Textures.
An ability on par with the Divine Spirits’ so-called ‘Authorities’, though given that it’s a function possessed by the planet, it is less of a skill, and more of a system.
The gravitational field that appears under Arcueid’s feet when she has turned into a Luminary has enough of a reach to store all Textures on Earth.
■ Mana Discharge (Planetary): A
The super version of Mana Discharge—the Breath of the Planet.
What animals know as ‘breathing’. She inhales magical energy (mana) from the atmosphere and then exhales it into the outer world as new magical energy after circulating it through her body—a Mana Cleaner.
This is the reason why the Earth gets filled with high-density mana when the Luminary appears, causing humans to die.
The gravitational field that appears under Arc’s feet when she’s turned into a Luminary has enough of a reach to store all Textures on Earth.
Class Skills (Passives)
■ Luminary: A
Rapid expansion (Inflation) of the Spiritron Core.
A phenomenon more simply called a ‘Luminary’.
(‘Inflation’ is originally terminology from astronomy—it’s what the exponential expansion of the universe that occured after the Big Bang is called) A state of excitation possessed by True Ancestors of the highest grade—their royalty. It’s said to occur as a side-effect when the True Ancestor has by some means had its body completely destroyed.
When Arcueid—a small yet heavy being—loses the body which forms her frame, the compressed magical energy within is released, and the result is that her Lifescale expands (though this is actually a false impression).
Though Arcueid’s consciousness is in the center of this light, as she no longer possesses a body to serve as a wall, she takes a state where her surplus magical energy levels remain, while the sort of self-image she imagines for herself is projected and dispersed. The Association calls this a Spiritron Frame (Lightframe). In other words, this is a natural phenomenon created out of nothing but mental power.
If one carelessly destroys a True Ancestor who still has magical energy in surplus, the energy stored within their body manifests—a retribution mechanism—to become a calamity that destroys human cities.
Arcueid does not cause Inflation when Roa still has part of her power and she’s about to die from maceration, but with her having killed Roa in Ciel Route, her love toward Shiki causes her to bug out—unable to keep suppressing her vampiric urges, she brings about this phenomenon. Correction: she unintentionally brings about this phenomenon.
Luminary Arcueid is about 200 meters when she’s emerging, and about 100 when she’s stabilized her dispersed consciousness and is in her normal state.
— Mystic Eyes (Hyper Wide-Range)
All intelligent beings who Luminary Arc looks at will have their minds paralyzed, either out of fear, or out of worship.
Unless those seen by Luminary Arc have unusually powerful mental strength, both escaping and fighting is infeasible.
— Fantasy Dequantification (Nullification of Normal Attacks)
Because of being in a mental form, only attacks which Arcueid recognizes as ‘oh, this one will suck’ are capable of wounding her.
In addition, being in an energy form means all injuries she receives are instantly restored to normal.
— Geothermal Manipulation & Atmospheric Manipulation
To change the surrounding environment into a harsh one.
The ground going into high-temperatures alone is enough to impede the activity of life, with all that approaches at the mercy of the atmospheric turbulence, as though a leaf in the wind—in short, she’s a personification of natural disasters.
An existence which is earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, and the likes, all put together.
Princess Arc from Melty used all these consciously and intentionally, while Luminary Arc can only ever use them unconsciously and reactionarily.
They are only activating automatically as biological functions, and cannot be controlled.
Princess Arc is actually the one who is the superior of the two, given that she can properly use these disasters as weapons, and is able to keep damages to a minimum.
The Luminary is not a form meant for attacking, but for regeneration.
It is nothing more than a necessary procedure for recreating the body of the True Ancestor so they will once again be able to act out their role as one. Therefore, it’s unable to move from the spot where it manifested, no matter what (as there is no need to).
It’s sort of like the cores and surface-level synchrotron radiation quantity of stars.
The convergence of hydrogen and helium through strong gravity leads to planets being pressed together into masses of resources, eventually forming a benign crust after they cool down, while a Luminary is meant to turn into a body after its convergence.
The benefit to having a body goes without saying: the establishment of an ego—a self. Remaining a Luminary means that eventually the consciousness would eventually merge with the Earth itself and then disperse as mere energy.
→ However, in Ciel Route, as Arc couldn’t control her reason/emotions, she also couldn’t cancel her Luminary. The only thing awaiting her at the end of that would be to perish from dispersal.
→ In addition, once she started walking out of jealousy, she gave up on being a chrysalis. Though the Luminary is ultimately a system meant for returning her to normal, once it is employed as an individual lifeform, even Arcueid will start falling apart at the seams, and eventually completely perish.
→ On the other hand… if one was to use the Luminary as a means of birthing a new, stronger individual instead of as a means of returning it to normal, then this would not apply. It would be able to act as a new True Ancestor, while the Arcueid of before would then quite literally disappear.
Lore
— Concerning the suppression of Arcueid's power.
The True Ancestors are the Touch of Earth—something like its immune system.
True Ancestors of the highest grade like Arcueid are one step above that of an immune system—something which would no doubt be appropriate to label as the Alter-Ego of Earth.
(In fact, the True Ancestors were only ever birthed to create a frame on the level of an Alter-Ego of Earth. All True Ancestors outside of Arc were failures. Yet in the True Ancestors’ last days, they succeeded in creating the Brain of the Planet that had been desired in the first place).
However, that such a lifeform would conduct itself in a human body could in itself actually be said to be something abnormal.
If you pack the energy of a celestial object into a tiny human body, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it would suddenly go out of control.
As long as Arcueid remains active, her output is limited to always be one step above her opponent, but this is not a representation of her sheer power.
This is to protect the body in its function as an output device, and to prevent wasting energy (for the earth).
However, in the case that the limiter of the body is taken away from her, and Arcueid’s mental activity is unabated, the suppression of her power is undone.
The magical energy hidden within her body disperses almost in an explosion, and the limit on her ability to draw energy from the Earth is removed.
This is Inflation—the Inflationary Luminary Phenomenon.
Though normally bound to the planet's interior, being a ‘soul’ (the chances of a celestial object being born in space is practically none. Force of Fate and Spacetime Causality which lets this be established is defined as a soul) meant for prolonged utilization (administration) of its celestial object, once it leaks onto the surface, it causes a system critical error.
That said, True Ancestors almost never enter this state.
The usual True Ancestor’s mind is worn down by having to suppress themselves, so when their body is destroyed, they do not have the mental strength (as it is abated) to recover
Luminaries have manifested in battles with ‘fallen True Ancestors’—those who have succumbed to their own vampiric urges—but in those cases the Luminaries did not emerge on as large a scale as Arcueid did.
“If thou wisheth to exterminate a True Ancestor, thou shalt first wear down its mind”
This is a teaching passed down among the Church. Just as this precept suggests, Executors do not assassinate True Ancestors from the shadows, but instead defeat them in prolonged all-out wars from head-on—or alternatively—push them into self-termination from a lack of magical energy (because if you kill them via a sneak attack, there’s a high chance they’ll turn into a Luminary).
— Concerning the actions of Luminary Arc
Her gigantic size alone makes her powerful, but her actions are not all that showy.
The same goes for when she caught Ciel:
- She slowly reaches out for the astonished Ciel. Ciel, feeling she is in a pinch, tries to move back, but her body is heavy.
- Though Ciel would normally be capable of easily dodging Arc’s hand, she only barely manages. She pushes her body to try to keep going and create some distance, but it doesn’t obey.
- Ciel then notices that just being inside of Arc’s zone of influence causes a litany of debuffs such as… The thinning of the air, the heating of the ground, and what’s more, gravity being kind of weird.
- However, even having noticed this, it’s far too late. Arc enjoys watching Ciel pathetically squirm as she tries to escape. At this point, Ciel is practically done for—sewn into space from being looked at by Arc.
- Ciel can do nothing but watch with despair on her face as Arcueid slowly lowers her hand onto her. Once caught, the spectacle of her dismemberment inside of Arc’s hand begins.
— The dangers brought on by the three zones of influence
Arc has three layers of consciousness in her Luminary model.
3: AMAZING—Extended Consciousness that goes beyond the Surface Consciousness into the outer world.
(AMAZING—with the meaning of ‘awe’—the fascination of the unknown born from amazement and wonder)
It starts from 300 meters outside the Luminary and extends for several kilometers.
Air turbulence originating from the inside of the Surface Consciousness (2) is let loose (spills out) onto the Extended Consciousness, almost like sharp blades.
The turmoil of the harsh winds, magnetic fields and more, mean that the closer one gets to Arcueid, the more dangerous it becomes. It is impossible for a human to enter the zone of influence of her Surface Consciousness (2) unless they’re in a tank.
Though this is already a dangerous state, physically speaking, the more one distances oneself from the Luminary, the less the danger becomes.
Luminary Arc is completely unaware of the lifeforms inside this Extended Consciousness.
Humans who challenge it are like Don Quixote, voluntarily challenging a dragon—voluntarily going off to die.
Here, the Luminary can be seen as a dome of light—or alternatively, as some kind of symbol.
2: AUDIENCE—Surface Consciousness that extends radially for 300 meters diagonally with the Luminary at its center.
(AUDIENCE—not with the meaning of ‘spectators’ or ‘onlookers’, but that of ‘being granted audience’)
Within the 300 meters of the Surface Consciousness, afforestation proceeds far more dramatically.
The Luminary goes from looking like ‘some light thing’ to a human-shaped titan.
The vegetation that covers the ground’s surface are the same primordial plants as known to mankind, but their size and resilience make them almost completely different—basically, they’re huge, almost 10 to 20 times larger than usual.
These clearly display just how tough the vegetation of the Earth was in the past.
No matter how weak and adapted to the current environment of life that nature of modernity may be, it doesn’t change how frightening this primeval (paleozoic) vegetation once was (before the Mesozoic and the Jurassic periods when the dinosaurs lived, there weren’t any plants that could bear flowers, so be careful to not add that).
It gives off the intimidating impression that primeval nature was far more powerful than human civilization is.
Within this zone of influence, the ground is covered in primeval vegetation, making travel by foot almost entirely impossible (though this does not apply to people who are superhuman).
The difference in atmospheric pressure between the ground and the sky (temperature gradients caused by the oxygen consumption of the gigantic vegetation) perturbs the airflow, creating a corridor of harsh wind from the intersection of up- and downdrafts.
Obstructed by the plants, it becomes impossible to move on land, while the air turbulence in the sky makes it impossible to fly particularly well.
And yet, under these kinds of conditions, the automatic counter-attacks performed by the standard rampaging Arc are carried out as well.
This is because once an enemy has entered the Surface Consciousness, they are obviously recognized as such—as an enemy.
If they then by some stroke of bad luck enter Arc’s view, they will be restrained by her Mystic Eyes, at which point they’re doomed.
The automatic counter-attacks become like invisible claws, either cutting the enemy into pieces, or blowing them up into the air like a leaf, toying with them until they die.
Thinking that it's impossible to survive in the sky, one stops on the ground, only to find there is no oxygen left (the gigantic vegetation is sucking all of it up).
As should be evident from all this, the Surface Consciousness is not an environment in which the current mankind could exist.
Luminary Arc takes not a single action, settling the matter simply by recognizing those who enter as her enemy—almost as if they were fruit flies, flying toward their own death.
1: SKINRAIL—Deep Unconsciousness that exists close (within 30 meters) to herself
(SKIN—with the meaning of the skin also being a railing, even if it’s close enough of a distance to touch with others)
In this zone of influence, the visual impairments coming from the turbulent airflow, the distortions of the Luminary’s energy, and so on, disappear, and the Luminary can be seen for real.
Unlike the revolving airflow hell that was the Surface Consciousness, here the atmosphere is stable, with the environment suited for life.
Once something enters this zone of influence, Luminary Arc will—though hesitantly—counter-attack.
Just by pointing her gaze towards them, she can invoke heat waves and gales that blow them away with an impact that’s almost like a hammer.
Luminary Arc herself almost never does things like punch or stomp though.
If they then stop moving after running out of energy, she’ll probably leave them be…
But if they happen to be an enemy she has an interest in, she’ll probably use her Atmospheric Manipulation to bring them up (into the air) before her eyes.
She went to the effort of stretching out her arms so ostentatiously in trying to terrify Ciel because—yes—Ciel was special.
As for Shiki, she stubbornly refused to ever touch him on her own, due to him having touched her—this pretend indifference is thought to have been a snide way for her to get back at him.
And now for some FAQs about the Luminary.
— Can you touch it?
Once it enters a stable state, the Luminary materializes—so yes, it has hit detection.
It feels both like hard stone and flowing water to the touch.
Also, Arc can will parts of it to rarefy, and when she does that, she can pass those through buildings and what-not.
— Since it's light, does that mean it’s hot?
It’s a bit hot, but not enough to get burned.
— How much reason is left in Luminary Arc?
Enough. She doesn’t feel like saying very much, but that doesn’t mean her reason is lost. It’s more that her True Ancestor supernaturality has gotten stronger.
She does talk, but not with her voice, instead sending orders directly to the other party’s brain (telepathy), meaning that her lips don’t move when she speaks.
— What does she look like to humans?
Depends on the situation and how far away they are.
First, when she’s emerging: it’s totally fine if she’s super scary here. I think something to the effect of the demonic terror found in the storyboard is fine.
Then, when she’s stabilized—around the time when she’s caught Ciel and is playing around with her:
When someone is distantly removed from the Luminary—300 meters or more outside her zone of influence—she only looks like light, while if they’re within the 300 meters of her zone of influence, she has a human shape. I think it'd be fine if one could see that there are eye-shaped holes (kind of like cavities) where her mouth, eyes, etc, are supposed to be.
When even closer to the Luminary—30 meters within Arc’s zone of influence—then the light being emitted looks more subdued, with her eyes and mouth (lips) shining with the brilliance of life. In fact, make her look even more beautiful than normal Arcueid.
This is like a perception manipulation effect that the Luminary has against intelligent beings.
Those who look on from afar will get the impression of something terrifyingly unknowable.
While those who have arrived close will get the impression of something beautifully unknowable.
Those who are far away are enemies who are to be killed without being shown the truth.
While those who are close by are allies who are to be given a glimpse of the truth—a truly spiritually divine (religiously speaking) mechanism.Archetype:Earth

※ 顕現時はまだ光体が安定していないので大きく出現する代わりに、当たり判定があまりない。ビルをすり抜けるのもこのため。 ※ 体重はどの状態だろうと元のアルクのまま変わらず。地球から漏れ出している生命力が形になっているだけなので、しいていうなら地球の質量が体重、みたいな。なので地球上ではどんなアクションをしようと「地球にとっては重くないので、地形には重さによるダメージはかからない」となる。光体が歩くと地面が陥没する、とかいうのはない。ただし人工物はその限りではない。
通常アルクェイドを 筋力 B 耐久 B 敏捷 B 魔力 A 幸運 B 宝具 EX とすると、光体アルクは 筋力 E 耐久 EX 敏捷 B 魔力 A++ 幸運 EX 宝具 D となる。エネルギー体となった事で通常時は使っていなかった魔力を「攻撃力」として使う。そのため魔力はあげ、使う必要のなくなった筋力は大幅にランクダウンさせている。
固有スキル
■ 空想具現化：D
通常アルクェイドではAだったものがDまでダウンしている。 光体状態の真祖では空想具現化は大雑把なものしかできない。 光体となっているため、きめ細かな空想を構築できないのだ。
■ 事象収納：EX
星の地表で育ったモノを概念的、かつ物理的に収納する能力。 惑星の地表に発生したあらゆる創作物——テクスチャーの没収。 神霊でいうなら「権能」レベルの異能だが、惑星が持つ機能なのでスキルというよりシステムである。 光体になったアルクェイドの足下に現れた重力圏は地球全土のテクスチャーを収納するだけの規模を持っている。

魔力放出の凄い版。星の息吹。 動物でいうところの呼吸。大気中の魔力（マナ）を取り込み、体内循環により新しい魔力として外界に吐き出す。マナクリーナー。 光体が出現すると地上に高濃度のマナが満ちるのはこのため。人間は死ぬ。 光体なったアルクの足下に現れた重力圏は地球全土のテクスチャーを収納するだけの規模を持っている。
クラス別スキル（パッシブ）
■ 光体：A
霊子核の急膨張（インフレーション）。 シンプルに『光体』と呼ばれる現象。 （インフレーションはもともと天文学用語。ビッグバンの後に起こった宇宙の指数関数的な膨張をインフレーションと言う）最高品質の真祖……真祖の王族のみが持つ励起状態。真祖がなんらかの手段で肉体を完全に破壊されてしまった時、その反作用として起きるとされる。 「小さくて重いもの」だったアルクェイドが、肉体という筐（はこ）を失った事で圧縮されていた魔力が解放され、（見かけだけの話だが）存在規模を膨張させた結果。 光の中心にアルクェイドの意識はあるが、肉体という壁がないため、その有り余る魔力量のまま「彼女が思い描く、自身のイメージ」が投影・拡散されている状態。教会では霊子筐体（ライトフレーム）と呼ばれている。 いわば精神力だけで作られた自然現象。 『まだ魔力が有り余っている真祖』を下手に破壊してしまうと今度はその体内に蓄えられていたエネルギーのみで出現し、災害となって人間の都市を破壊する、という報復機能。
ロアに力を奪われ、衰弱死を迎えているアルクェイドではインフレーションは起きないが、シエルルートでロアを殺し、志貴への恋心によってバグを起こし、吸血衝動を抑えなくなったアルクェイドはこの現象を引き起こせる。もとい、引き起こしてしまった。 アルクェイドの光体は顕現時では200メートル級、拡散した意識を安定させた平常時では100メートル級、とする。
- 魔眼（超広範囲） 光体アルクが見た知性体の精神を『畏怖』あるいは『信仰』によって麻痺させる。 光体アルクに見られた者は、よほど強い精神力がないかぎり、逃げる事も、戦う事も困難となる。
- 空想無量化（通常攻撃無効） 精神体なのでアルクェイドの認識で「あ、これ私でもダメ」と思える攻撃でなければ傷を負わせる事はできない。 また、エネルギー体なので傷を受けても即座に元に戻ってしまう。
- 地熱操作、大気操作 周囲の環境を過酷なものに変えてしまう。 地面は高温となり立っているだけで生命活動に支障を与え、大気は乱気流となって近づくものを木の葉のように翻弄する。これらを無意識に行う。ようは自然災害を擬人化したもの。 地震・台風・津波といったものを一つにまとめた存在。 メルブラの姫アルクはこれらを『意識的に、指向性のものとして』使っていたが、光体アルクはこれらを『無意識に、反応として』使う事しかできない。 生体機能として自動的に発動しているだけで、コントロールできないのである。 災害をきちんと武器として使い、被害をコンパクトにできるので姫アルクの方が格上、という事。
「光体」は攻撃のためのスタイルではなく「再生」のためのスタイル。 再び真祖として活動できる「元の体」を作るために必要な工程にすぎない。なので決して、出現した地点から移動する事はない。（その必要がない） 恒星における「コア」と「表面の放射光量」のようなもの。 惑星は強い重力によって水素やヘリウムが収束、圧縮されて資源の塊となり、やがて熱が冷め穏やかな地表となるが、光体もいずれ収束して『肉体』になるべきもの。 肉体になる利点はいうまでもない。「自我、自己の確立」だ。光体のままだとやがて意識が地球そのものと同化し、ただのエネルギーとなって拡散してしまう。 →しかしシエルルートのアルクは理性・感情のコントロールができていないので、いつまでも光体を解除できずにいた。その果てに待つものは拡散消滅である。 →さらには嫉妬によって「歩き出した」時点で、蛹である事を放棄してしまう。光体はあくまで『元に戻るため』のシステムであるのに、それを個の生命として動かしてしまうと、アルクェイドであっても末端から崩壊していき、やがて完全消滅してしまう。 →……一方。光体を『元に戻るための手順』ではなく、『より強い個体に新生するための手順』としてしまう場合は、そのかぎりではない。新しい真祖として活動できるが、“今までいた彼女”は文字通り、失われる事になる。
設定
- アルクェイド、その力の制御について 真祖は地球の触覚であり、地球の免疫機構のようなもの。 最高水準の真祖であるアルクェイドになると、その在り方は免疫機構より一段階上、地球の分身といって差し支えのないものだった。 （というか、地球の分身レベルの筐体を作るために真祖は生まれた。アルク以外はみな失敗作である。真祖たちはその末期に、一番はじめに望まれていた『星の頭脳体』を作る事に成功したのだ） しかし。それだけの生命体が「人間の体」で行動している事自体が、そもそも異常な事と言える。 天体のエネルギーを小さな「人体」に押し込めているのだから、いつ暴走してもおかしくない状況ではあったのだ。
アルクェイドは活動する際、その出力を『常に相手より一段階上のものに制限する』が、これは万能の現れではない。 肉体という出力装置の保護でもあり、（地球的に、）エネルギーの無駄遣いを防ぐためである。 しかし。肉体という制限がなくなり、かつアルクェイドの精神活動が衰えていない場合、力の制御はされなくなる。 肉体に秘められていた魔力は爆発するように拡散し、地球からエネルギーを引き出す能力に制限はかけられなくなる。 それがインフレーション――離拡散光体現象。 本来は星の内部に留め、長く天体を生かす（運営する）ための『魂（宇宙において天体が生まれる確率はほぼない。それを成立させる運命力、時空因果を魂と定義している）』を地表に漏らす、あってはならないシステム障害である。
とはいえ、真祖がこの状態になる事はほぼない。 たいていの真祖は自身を抑えるために精神を摩耗させているので、肉体が破壊された時に再起する精神力が無い（衰えている）からだ。 自らの吸血衝動に負けた『堕ちた真祖』との戦いにおいて光体が出現する事はあるが、その場合もアルクェイドほど大規模な光体は現れない。 「汝、真祖を討ち滅ぼすと願うなら、まずはその精神を摩耗させろ」 とは教会に伝わる教えで、この教訓通り、代行者たちは不意打ちによる暗殺ではなく、正面からの総力戦の末に真祖を倒す、あるいは魔力消費による自滅に追い込んでいた。（不意打ちで殺すと光体になってしまう可能性が高いので）
- 光体アルクの動きについて 巨大なだけで強いが、あまり派手なアクションはしない。 シエルを捕まえる過程も、
- 愕然とするシエルにゆっくりと手を伸ばすアルク。 シエル、まずい、と後退しようとするが、体が重い。
- 普段なら余裕で躱せるアルクの手を、なんとかギリギリで躱すシエル。 そのまま距離を取ろうと体に力をこめるが、思うように動かない。
- アルクの圏内にいるだけで「空気が薄い」「地面が熱い」 「おまけに重力がなんかおかしい」というデバフ祭りである事に気がつくシエル。
- しかし、気がついたところでもうどうしようもない。 無様に逃げようとしてもがくシエルを楽しげに見るアルク。 それでほぼ詰み。アルクに“見つめられて”空間に縫い留められるシエル。
- ゆっくりと落ちてくるアルクの手を絶望顔で見上げるしかないシエル。 捕まり、アルクの手の中で解体ショーが始まる。 といったもの。
- 三つの圏内による被害 光体モデルになったアルクは三つの意識の層を持つ。
3：表層意識より外である外界。延長意識、アメイジング。 （アメイジング……驚愕、感嘆からくる未知への興味、畏怖という意味で） 光体から300メートルより外側から数キロメートルまで。 延長意識では表層意識（2）内部で発生している乱気流が鋭い刃のように放たれている。（漏れてきている）。 強風、磁場の乱れ等で、光体アルクに近寄るほど危険度は増していく。人間では戦車でもないかぎり表層意識（2）の圏内に入るのは不可能。 既に物理的に危険な状態だが、光体から離れるほど被害は少なくなる。 光体アルクはこの延長意識にいる生命をまったく意識していない。 これに挑む人間は、かってに竜に挑み、かってに死んでいくドンキホーテのようなもの。 光体は光のドーム、あるいは何らかのシンボルに見える。
2：光体を中心に、放射状に拡がった直径300メートルほどの表層意識、オーディエンス。 （オーディエンス……観衆、観客の意味ではなく、「謁見行為」の意味で） 300メートル以内の表層意識では、緑化がよりダイナミックに進行している。 光体は「光の何か」から、人型の巨脚に見える。 「地表を覆う植物」は人類が知る原生植物ではあるが、その規格・強靭さはまるで別物。とにかくでかい。通常の10～20倍のサイズになっている。 これは過去の地球においてどれほど植物が強靭なものかを知らしめるもの。 いかに近代の自然が『今の生命環境にあわせて』設定された軟弱なものであり、原始（古生代）の植物が怖ろしいものであったかをあらわしている。（恐竜が生存していた中生代・ジュラ紀より以前には花を咲かせる植物はないので、花は咲かせないように注意） 原始の自然は人類の文明より遥かに強大だった、という威圧でもある。

[] TYPE-MOON Manuscript - Archetype:Earth, p.042-047 Archetype:Earth
Class: Berserker
True Name: Archetype:Earth
Gender: Female Body
Alignment: Lawful Chaotic
Origin: Tsukihime
Region: Earth
Height/Weight: About 200 meters when emerging (depending on the CG)
About 100 meters when stabilized (as big or bigger than the tallest building in the city. Adapts to the level of nearby civilization)
※Its weight stays the same no matter the state—being the same as the normal Arcueid. Given that it’s just the lifeforce spilling out from Earth given shape, if pressed to give an answer, I’d say its weight would be the mass of Earth, or something. So, no matter the action it takes, as long as it’s on the surface of Earth, it’s not heavy, and so its weight doesn’t cause any damage to the terrain—meaning, when the Luminary walks, it doesn’t cause the ground to sink in or anything like that. However, this does not apply to man-made objects.
If normal Arcueid is:
Strength: B Endurance: B Agility: B Magic: A Luck: B Noble Phantasm: EX
Then Luminary Arcueid is:
Strength: E Endurance: EX Agility: B Magic: A++ Luck: EX Noble Phantasm: D
Personal Skills
■ Marble Phantasm: D
Though Arcueid normally has this at A, here it has been ranked down to D.
True Ancestors in a Luminary state can only use Marble Phantasm in an approximate manner.
Due to having turned into a Luminary, she cannot construct any detailed fantasies.
■ Event Storage: EX
The ability to conceptually and physically store things that have been cultivated on the surface of Earth.
The confiscation of all creations birthed on the surface of the planet—its Textures.
An ability on par with the Divine Spirits’ so-called ‘Authorities’, though given that it’s a function possessed by the planet, it is less of a skill, and more of a system.
The gravitational field that appears under Arcueid’s feet when she has turned into a Luminary has enough of a reach to store all Textures on Earth.
■ Mana Discharge (Planetary): A
The super version of Mana Discharge—the Breath of the Planet.
What animals know as ‘breathing’. She inhales magical energy (mana) from the atmosphere and then exhales it into the outer world as new magical energy after circulating it through her body—a Mana Cleaner.
This is the reason why the Earth gets filled with high-density mana when the Luminary appears, causing humans to die.
The gravitational field that appears under Arc’s feet when she’s turned into a Luminary has enough of a reach to store all Textures on Earth.
Class Skills (Passives)
■ Luminary: A
Rapid expansion (Inflation) of the Spiritron Core.
A phenomenon more simply called a ‘Luminary’.
(‘Inflation’ is originally terminology from astronomy—it’s what the exponential expansion of the universe that occured after the Big Bang is called) A state of excitation possessed by True Ancestors of the highest grade—their royalty. It’s said to occur as a side-effect when the True Ancestor has by some means had its body completely destroyed.
When Arcueid—a small yet heavy being—loses the body which forms her frame, the compressed magical energy within is released, and the result is that her Lifescale expands (though this is actually a false impression).
Though Arcueid’s consciousness is in the center of this light, as she no longer possesses a body to serve as a wall, she takes a state where her surplus magical energy levels remain, while the sort of self-image she imagines for herself is projected and dispersed. The Association calls this a Spiritron Frame (Lightframe). In other words, this is a natural phenomenon created out of nothing but mental power.
If one carelessly destroys a True Ancestor who still has magical energy in surplus, the energy stored within their body manifests—a retribution mechanism—to become a calamity that destroys human cities.
Arcueid does not cause Inflation when Roa still has part of her power and she’s about to die from maceration, but with her having killed Roa in Ciel Route, her love toward Shiki causes her to bug out—unable to keep suppressing her vampiric urges, she brings about this phenomenon. Correction: she unintentionally brings about this phenomenon.
Luminary Arcueid is about 200 meters when she’s emerging, and about 100 when she’s stabilized her dispersed consciousness and is in her normal state.
— Mystic Eyes (Hyper Wide-Range)
All intelligent beings who Luminary Arc looks at will have their minds paralyzed, either out of fear, or out of worship.
Unless those seen by Luminary Arc have unusually powerful mental strength, both escaping and fighting is infeasible.
— Fantasy Dequantification (Nullification of Normal Attacks)
Because of being in a mental form, only attacks which Arcueid recognizes as ‘oh, this one will suck’ are capable of wounding her.
In addition, being in an energy form means all injuries she receives are instantly restored to normal.
— Geothermal Manipulation & Atmospheric Manipulation
To change the surrounding environment into a harsh one.
The ground going into high-temperatures alone is enough to impede the activity of life, with all that approaches at the mercy of the atmospheric turbulence, as though a leaf in the wind—in short, she’s a personification of natural disasters.
An existence which is earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, and the likes, all put together.
Princess Arc from Melty used all these consciously and intentionally, while Luminary Arc can only ever use them unconsciously and reactionarily.
They are only activating automatically as biological functions, and cannot be controlled.
Princess Arc is actually the one who is the superior of the two, given that she can properly use these disasters as weapons, and is able to keep damages to a minimum.
The Luminary is not a form meant for attacking, but for regeneration.
It is nothing more than a necessary procedure for recreating the body of the True Ancestor so they will once again be able to act out their role as one. Therefore, it’s unable to move from the spot where it manifested, no matter what (as there is no need to).
It’s sort of like the cores and surface-level synchrotron radiation quantity of stars.
The convergence of hydrogen and helium through strong gravity leads to planets being pressed together into masses of resources, eventually forming a benign crust after they cool down, while a Luminary is meant to turn into a body after its convergence.
The benefit to having a body goes without saying: the establishment of an ego—a self. Remaining a Luminary means that eventually the consciousness would eventually merge with the Earth itself and then disperse as mere energy.
→ However, in Ciel Route, as Arc couldn’t control her reason/emotions, she also couldn’t cancel her Luminary. The only thing awaiting her at the end of that would be to perish from dispersal.
→ In addition, once she started walking out of jealousy, she gave up on being a chrysalis. Though the Luminary is ultimately a system meant for returning her to normal, once it is employed as an individual lifeform, even Arcueid will start falling apart at the seams, and eventually completely perish.
→ On the other hand… if one was to use the Luminary as a means of birthing a new, stronger individual instead of as a means of returning it to normal, then this would not apply. It would be able to act as a new True Ancestor, while the Arcueid of before would then quite literally disappear.
Lore
— Concerning the suppression of Arcueid's power.
The True Ancestors are the Touch of Earth—something like its immune system.
True Ancestors of the highest grade like Arcueid are one step above that of an immune system—something which would no doubt be appropriate to label as the Alter-Ego of Earth.
(In fact, the True Ancestors were only ever birthed to create a frame on the level of an Alter-Ego of Earth. All True Ancestors outside of Arc were failures. Yet in the True Ancestors’ last days, they succeeded in creating the Brain of the Planet that had been desired in the first place).
However, that such a lifeform would conduct itself in a human body could in itself actually be said to be something abnormal.
If you pack the energy of a celestial object into a tiny human body, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it would suddenly go out of control.
As long as Arcueid remains active, her output is limited to always be one step above her opponent, but this is not a representation of her sheer power.
This is to protect the body in its function as an output device, and to prevent wasting energy (for the earth).
However, in the case that the limiter of the body is taken away from her, and Arcueid’s mental activity is unabated, the suppression of her power is undone.
The magical energy hidden within her body disperses almost in an explosion, and the limit on her ability to draw energy from the Earth is removed.
This is Inflation—the Inflationary Luminary Phenomenon.
Though normally bound to the planet's interior, being a ‘soul’ (the chances of a celestial object being born in space is practically none. Force of Fate and Spacetime Causality which lets this be established is defined as a soul) meant for prolonged utilization (administration) of its celestial object, once it leaks onto the surface, it causes a system critical error.
That said, True Ancestors almost never enter this state.
The usual True Ancestor’s mind is worn down by having to suppress themselves, so when their body is destroyed, they do not have the mental strength (as it is abated) to recover
Luminaries have manifested in battles with ‘fallen True Ancestors’—those who have succumbed to their own vampiric urges—but in those cases the Luminaries did not emerge on as large a scale as Arcueid did.
“If thou wisheth to exterminate a True Ancestor, thou shalt first wear down its mind”
This is a teaching passed down among the Church. Just as this precept suggests, Executors do not assassinate True Ancestors from the shadows, but instead defeat them in prolonged all-out wars from head-on—or alternatively—push them into self-termination from a lack of magical energy (because if you kill them via a sneak attack, there’s a high chance they’ll turn into a Luminary).
— Concerning the actions of Luminary Arc
Her gigantic size alone makes her powerful, but her actions are not all that showy.
The same goes for when she caught Ciel:
- She slowly reaches out for the astonished Ciel. Ciel, feeling she is in a pinch, tries to move back, but her body is heavy.
- Though Ciel would normally be capable of easily dodging Arc’s hand, she only barely manages. She pushes her body to try to keep going and create some distance, but it doesn’t obey.
- Ciel then notices that just being inside of Arc’s zone of influence causes a litany of debuffs such as… The thinning of the air, the heating of the ground, and what’s more, gravity being kind of weird.
- However, even having noticed this, it’s far too late. Arc enjoys watching Ciel pathetically squirm as she tries to escape. At this point, Ciel is practically done for—sewn into space from being looked at by Arc.
- Ciel can do nothing but watch with despair on her face as Arcueid slowly lowers her hand onto her. Once caught, the spectacle of her dismemberment inside of Arc’s hand begins.
— The dangers brought on by the three zones of influence
Arc has three layers of consciousness in her Luminary model.
3: AMAZING—Extended Consciousness that goes beyond the Surface Consciousness into the outer world.
(AMAZING—with the meaning of ‘awe’—the fascination of the unknown born from amazement and wonder)
It starts from 300 meters outside the Luminary and extends for several kilometers.
Air turbulence originating from the inside of the Surface Consciousness (2) is let loose (spills out) onto the Extended Consciousness, almost like sharp blades.
The turmoil of the harsh winds, magnetic fields and more, mean that the closer one gets to Arcueid, the more dangerous it becomes. It is impossible for a human to enter the zone of influence of her Surface Consciousness (2) unless they’re in a tank.
Though this is already a dangerous state, physically speaking, the more one distances oneself from the Luminary, the less the danger becomes.
Luminary Arc is completely unaware of the lifeforms inside this Extended Consciousness.
Humans who challenge it are like Don Quixote, voluntarily challenging a dragon—voluntarily going off to die.
Here, the Luminary can be seen as a dome of light—or alternatively, as some kind of symbol.
2: AUDIENCE—Surface Consciousness that extends radially for 300 meters diagonally with the Luminary at its center.
(AUDIENCE—not with the meaning of ‘spectators’ or ‘onlookers’, but that of ‘being granted audience’)
Within the 300 meters of the Surface Consciousness, afforestation proceeds far more dramatically.
The Luminary goes from looking like ‘some light thing’ to a human-shaped titan.
The vegetation that covers the ground’s surface are the same primordial plants as known to mankind, but their size and resilience make them almost completely different—basically, they’re huge, almost 10 to 20 times larger than usual.
These clearly display just how tough the vegetation of the Earth was in the past.
No matter how weak and adapted to the current environment of life that nature of modernity may be, it doesn’t change how frightening this primeval (paleozoic) vegetation once was (before the Mesozoic and the Jurassic periods when the dinosaurs lived, there weren’t any plants that could bear flowers, so be careful to not add that).
It gives off the intimidating impression that primeval nature was far more powerful than human civilization is.
Within this zone of influence, the ground is covered in primeval vegetation, making travel by foot almost entirely impossible (though this does not apply to people who are superhuman).
The difference in atmospheric pressure between the ground and the sky (temperature gradients caused by the oxygen consumption of the gigantic vegetation) perturbs the airflow, creating a corridor of harsh wind from the intersection of up- and downdrafts.
Obstructed by the plants, it becomes impossible to move on land, while the air turbulence in the sky makes it impossible to fly particularly well.
And yet, under these kinds of conditions, the automatic counter-attacks performed by the standard rampaging Arc are carried out as well.
This is because once an enemy has entered the Surface Consciousness, they are obviously recognized as such—as an enemy.
If they then by some stroke of bad luck enter Arc’s view, they will be restrained by her Mystic Eyes, at which point they’re doomed.
The automatic counter-attacks become like invisible claws, either cutting the enemy into pieces, or blowing them up into the air like a leaf, toying with them until they die.
Thinking that it's impossible to survive in the sky, one stops on the ground, only to find there is no oxygen left (the gigantic vegetation is sucking all of it up).
As should be evident from all this, the Surface Consciousness is not an environment in which the current mankind could exist.
Luminary Arc takes not a single action, settling the matter simply by recognizing those who enter as her enemy—almost as if they were fruit flies, flying toward their own death.
1: SKINRAIL—Deep Unconsciousness that exists close (within 30 meters) to herself
(SKIN—with the meaning of the skin also being a railing, even if it’s close enough of a distance to touch with others)
In this zone of influence, the visual impairments coming from the turbulent airflow, the distortions of the Luminary’s energy, and so on, disappear, and the Luminary can be seen for real.
Unlike the revolving airflow hell that was the Surface Consciousness, here the atmosphere is stable, with the environment suited for life.
Once something enters this zone of influence, Luminary Arc will—though hesitantly—counter-attack.
Just by pointing her gaze towards them, she can invoke heat waves and gales that blow them away with an impact that’s almost like a hammer.
Luminary Arc herself almost never does things like punch or stomp though.
If they then stop moving after running out of energy, she’ll probably leave them be…
But if they happen to be an enemy she has an interest in, she’ll probably use her Atmospheric Manipulation to bring them up (into the air) before her eyes.
She went to the effort of stretching out her arms so ostentatiously in trying to terrify Ciel because—yes—Ciel was special.
As for Shiki, she stubbornly refused to ever touch him on her own, due to him having touched her—this pretend indifference is thought to have been a snide way for her to get back at him.
And now for some FAQs about the Luminary.
— Can you touch it?
Once it enters a stable state, the Luminary materializes—so yes, it has hit detection.
It feels both like hard stone and flowing water to the touch.
Also, Arc can will parts of it to rarefy, and when she does that, she can pass those through buildings and what-not.
— Since it's light, does that mean it’s hot?
It’s a bit hot, but not enough to get burned.
— How much reason is left in Luminary Arc?
Enough. She doesn’t feel like saying very much, but that doesn’t mean her reason is lost. It’s more that her True Ancestor supernaturality has gotten stronger.
She does talk, but not with her voice, instead sending orders directly to the other party’s brain (telepathy), meaning that her lips don’t move when she speaks.
— What does she look like to humans?
Depends on the situation and how far away they are.
First, when she’s emerging: it’s totally fine if she’s super scary here. I think something to the effect of the demonic terror found in the storyboard is fine.
Then, when she’s stabilized—around the time when she’s caught Ciel and is playing around with her:
When someone is distantly removed from the Luminary—300 meters or more outside her zone of influence—she only looks like light, while if they’re within the 300 meters of her zone of influence, she has a human shape. I think it'd be fine if one could see that there are eye-shaped holes (kind of like cavities) where her mouth, eyes, etc, are supposed to be.
When even closer to the Luminary—30 meters within Arc’s zone of influence—then the light being emitted looks more subdued, with her eyes and mouth (lips) shining with the brilliance of life. In fact, make her look even more beautiful than normal Arcueid.
This is like a perception manipulation effect that the Luminary has against intelligent beings.
Those who look on from afar will get the impression of something terrifyingly unknowable.
While those who have arrived close will get the impression of something beautifully unknowable.
Those who are far away are enemies who are to be killed without being shown the truth.
While those who are close by are allies who are to be given a glimpse of the truth—a truly spiritually divine (religiously speaking) mechanism.Archetype:Earth

身長・体重：秩序・善200メートル級（イベント画との兼ね合い）
安定時 100メートル級（街の一番高いビルより大きいぐらい。
周囲の文明レベルに合わせてのもの）
※ 顕現時はまだ光体が安定していないので大きく出現する代わりに、当たり判定があまりない。ビルをすり抜けるのもこのため。 ※ 体重はどの状態だろうと元のアルクのまま変わらず。地球から漏れ出している生命力が形になっているだけなので、しいていうなら地球の質量が体重、みたいな。なので地球上ではどんなアクションをしようと「地球にとっては重くないので、地形には重さによるダメージはかからない」となる。光体が歩くと地面が陥没する、とかいうのはない。ただし人工物はその限りではない。
通常アルクェイドを 筋力 B 耐久 B 敏捷 B 魔力 A 幸運 B 宝具 EX とすると、光体アルクは 筋力 E 耐久 EX 敏捷 B 魔力 A++ 幸運 EX 宝具 D となる。エネルギー体となった事で通常時は使っていなかった魔力を「攻撃力」として使う。そのため魔力はあげ、使う必要のなくなった筋力は大幅にランクダウンさせている。
固有スキル
■ 空想具現化：D
通常アルクェイドではAだったものがDまでダウンしている。 光体状態の真祖では空想具現化は大雑把なものしかできない。 光体となっているため、きめ細かな空想を構築できないのだ。
■ 事象収納：EX
星の地表で育ったモノを概念的、かつ物理的に収納する能力。 惑星の地表に発生したあらゆる創作物——テクスチャーの没収。 神霊でいうなら「権能」レベルの異能だが、惑星が持つ機能なのでスキルというよりシステムである。 光体になったアルクェイドの足下に現れた重力圏は地球全土のテクスチャーを収納するだけの規模を持っている。
■ 魔力放出（星）：A
魔力放出の凄い版。星の息吹。 動物でいうところの呼吸。大気中の魔力（マナ）を取り込み、体内循環により新しい魔力として外界に吐き出す。マナクリーナー。 光体が出現すると地上に高濃度のマナが満ちるのはこのため。人間は死ぬ。 光体なったアルクの足下に現れた重力圏は地球全土のテクスチャーを収納するだけの規模を持っている。
クラス別スキル（パッシブ）
■ 光体：A
霊子核の急膨張（インフレーション）。 シンプルに『光体』と呼ばれる現象。 （インフレーションはもともと天文学用語。ビッグバンの後に起こった宇宙の指数関数的な膨張をインフレーションと言う）最高品質の真祖……真祖の王族のみが持つ励起状態。真祖がなんらかの手段で肉体を完全に破壊されてしまった時、その反作用として起きるとされる。 「小さくて重いもの」だったアルクェイドが、肉体という筐（はこ）を失った事で圧縮されていた魔力が解放され、（見かけだけの話だが）存在規模を膨張させた結果。 光の中心にアルクェイドの意識はあるが、肉体という壁がないため、その有り余る魔力量のまま「彼女が思い描く、自身のイメージ」が投影・拡散されている状態。教会では霊子筐体（ライトフレーム）と呼ばれている。 いわば精神力だけで作られた自然現象。 『まだ魔力が有り余っている真祖』を下手に破壊してしまうと今度はその体内に蓄えられていたエネルギーのみで出現し、災害となって人間の都市を破壊する、という報復機能。
ロアに力を奪われ、衰弱死を迎えているアルクェイドではインフレーションは起きないが、シエルルートでロアを殺し、志貴への恋心によってバグを起こし、吸血衝動を抑えなくなったアルクェイドはこの現象を引き起こせる。もとい、引き起こしてしまった。 アルクェイドの光体は顕現時では200メートル級、拡散した意識を安定させた平常時では100メートル級、とする。
- 魔眼（超広範囲） 光体アルクが見た知性体の精神を『畏怖』あるいは『信仰』によって麻痺させる。 光体アルクに見られた者は、よほど強い精神力がないかぎり、逃げる事も、戦う事も困難となる。
- 空想無量化（通常攻撃無効） 精神体なのでアルクェイドの認識で「あ、これ私でもダメ」と思える攻撃でなければ傷を負わせる事はできない。 また、エネルギー体なので傷を受けても即座に元に戻ってしまう。
- 地熱操作、大気操作 周囲の環境を過酷なものに変えてしまう。 地面は高温となり立っているだけで生命活動に支障を与え、大気は乱気流となって近づくものを木の葉のように翻弄する。これらを無意識に行う。ようは自然災害を擬人化したもの。 地震・台風・津波といったものを一つにまとめた存在。 メルブラの姫アルクはこれらを『意識的に、指向性のものとして』使っていたが、光体アルクはこれらを『無意識に、反応として』使う事しかできない。 生体機能として自動的に発動しているだけで、コントロールできないのである。 災害をきちんと武器として使い、被害をコンパクトにできるので姫アルクの方が格上、という事。
「光体」は攻撃のためのスタイルではなく「再生」のためのスタイル。 再び真祖として活動できる「元の体」を作るために必要な工程にすぎない。なので決して、出現した地点から移動する事はない。（その必要がない） 恒星における「コア」と「表面の放射光量」のようなもの。 惑星は強い重力によって水素やヘリウムが収束、圧縮されて資源の塊となり、やがて熱が冷め穏やかな地表となるが、光体もいずれ収束して『肉体』になるべきもの。 肉体になる利点はいうまでもない。「自我、自己の確立」だ。光体のままだとやがて意識が地球そのものと同化し、ただのエネルギーとなって拡散してしまう。 →しかしシエルルートのアルクは理性・感情のコントロールができていないので、いつまでも光体を解除できずにいた。その果てに待つものは拡散消滅である。 →さらには嫉妬によって「歩き出した」時点で、蛹である事を放棄してしまう。光体はあくまで『元に戻るため』のシステムであるのに、それを個の生命として動かしてしまうと、アルクェイドであっても末端から崩壊していき、やがて完全消滅してしまう。 →……一方。光体を『元に戻るための手順』ではなく、『より強い個体に新生するための手順』としてしまう場合は、そのかぎりではない。新しい真祖として活動できるが、“今までいた彼女”は文字通り、失われる事になる。
設定
- アルクェイド、その力の制御について 真祖は地球の触覚であり、地球の免疫機構のようなもの。 最高水準の真祖であるアルクェイドになると、その在り方は免疫機構より一段階上、地球の分身といって差し支えのないものだった。 （というか、地球の分身レベルの筐体を作るために真祖は生まれた。アルク以外はみな失敗作である。真祖たちはその末期に、一番はじめに望まれていた『星の頭脳体』を作る事に成功したのだ） しかし。それだけの生命体が「人間の体」で行動している事自体が、そもそも異常な事と言える。 天体のエネルギーを小さな「人体」に押し込めているのだから、いつ暴走してもおかしくない状況ではあったのだ。
アルクェイドは活動する際、その出力を『常に相手より一段階上のものに制限する』が、これは万能の現れではない。 肉体という出力装置の保護でもあり、（地球的に、）エネルギーの無駄遣いを防ぐためである。 しかし。肉体という制限がなくなり、かつアルクェイドの精神活動が衰えていない場合、力の制御はされなくなる。 肉体に秘められていた魔力は爆発するように拡散し、地球からエネルギーを引き出す能力に制限はかけられなくなる。 それがインフレーション――離拡散光体現象。 本来は星の内部に留め、長く天体を生かす（運営する）ための『魂（宇宙において天体が生まれる確率はほぼない。それを成立させる運命力、時空因果を魂と定義している）』を地表に漏らす、あってはならないシステム障害である。
とはいえ、真祖がこの状態になる事はほぼない。 たいていの真祖は自身を抑えるために精神を摩耗させているので、肉体が破壊された時に再起する精神力が無い（衰えている）からだ。 自らの吸血衝動に負けた『堕ちた真祖』との戦いにおいて光体が出現する事はあるが、その場合もアルクェイドほど大規模な光体は現れない。 「汝、真祖を討ち滅ぼすと願うなら、まずはその精神を摩耗させろ」 とは教会に伝わる教えで、この教訓通り、代行者たちは不意打ちによる暗殺ではなく、正面からの総力戦の末に真祖を倒す、あるいは魔力消費による自滅に追い込んでいた。（不意打ちで殺すと光体になってしまう可能性が高いので）
- 光体アルクの動きについて 巨大なだけで強いが、あまり派手なアクションはしない。 シエルを捕まえる過程も、
- 愕然とするシエルにゆっくりと手を伸ばすアルク。 シエル、まずい、と後退しようとするが、体が重い。
- 普段なら余裕で躱せるアルクの手を、なんとかギリギリで躱すシエル。 そのまま距離を取ろうと体に力をこめるが、思うように動かない。
- アルクの圏内にいるだけで「空気が薄い」「地面が熱い」 「おまけに重力がなんかおかしい」というデバフ祭りである事に気がつくシエル。
- しかし、気がついたところでもうどうしようもない。 無様に逃げようとしてもがくシエルを楽しげに見るアルク。 それでほぼ詰み。アルクに“見つめられて”空間に縫い留められるシエル。
- ゆっくりと落ちてくるアルクの手を絶望顔で見上げるしかないシエル。 捕まり、アルクの手の中で解体ショーが始まる。 といったもの。
- 三つの圏内による被害 光体モデルになったアルクは三つの意識の層を持つ。
3：表層意識より外である外界。延長意識、アメイジング。 （アメイジング……驚愕、感嘆からくる未知への興味、畏怖という意味で） 光体から300メートルより外側から数キロメートルまで。 延長意識では表層意識（2）内部で発生している乱気流が鋭い刃のように放たれている。（漏れてきている）。 強風、磁場の乱れ等で、光体アルクに近寄るほど危険度は増していく。人間では戦車でもないかぎり表層意識（2）の圏内に入るのは不可能。 既に物理的に危険な状態だが、光体から離れるほど被害は少なくなる。 光体アルクはこの延長意識にいる生命をまったく意識していない。 これに挑む人間は、かってに竜に挑み、かってに死んでいくドンキホーテのようなもの。 光体は光のドーム、あるいは何らかのシンボルに見える。
2：光体を中心に、放射状に拡がった直径300メートルほどの表層意識、オーディエンス。 （オーディエンス……観衆、観客の意味ではなく、「謁見行為」の意味で） 300メートル以内の表層意識では、緑化がよりダイナミックに進行している。 光体は「光の何か」から、人型の巨脚に見える。 「地表を覆う植物」は人類が知る原生植物ではあるが、その規格・強靭さはまるで別物。とにかくでかい。通常の10～20倍のサイズになっている。 これは過去の地球においてどれほど植物が強靭なものかを知らしめるもの。 いかに近代の自然が『今の生命環境にあわせて』設定された軟弱なものであり、原始（古生代）の植物が怖ろしいものであったかをあらわしている。（恐竜が生存していた中生代・ジュラ紀より以前には花を咲かせる植物はないので、花は咲かせないように注意） 原始の自然は人類の文明より遥かに強大だった、という威圧でもある。

[] Fate/EXTELLA material - Encyclopedia: Quantum Timelock [Concept][T] Spiritron record anchoring band[1].
A Quantum Timelock is a metaphysical event, it calculates the average “value” of each parallel world’s events, then locks past events down. A phenomenon that separates what was, and is, from what might be.
Our universe allows for countless possibilities and creates many parallels worlds and histories with different developments.
The universe has a finite amount of energy to spend maintaining each parallel world. Because the universe itself would expire if these realities were to expand without limit, it conserves energy by, excising worlds, at specific intervals, that have veered too far from the strongest, most stable timelines.
The Moon Cell has concluded that the universe we perceive of, which should be unstable, is being stabilized across the present, past, and future by this culling process and by quantum time locks.
The easiest way to visualize the process is to envision time as a giant tree, one that would grow indefinitely if left alone. The excision process is comparable to trimming the unneeded branches and leaving only the trunk of that tree.
History that becomes a part of the “time lock”2 will not change, even if it is affected by the past and future. The incidents that occur during a time lock will, in fact, never change, no matter what happens.
Even if one were to go back in time before the time lock to try and change history, once one reached the time lock, history would be forcefully restored to what was already registered there.
In a universe with quantum time locks, the outcome that is registered in an quantum time lock will not change. A time traveler can only alter the “process” by which it happens, but never the “result.”
For example, imagine that there was a war in Britain, and that the “result” that was locked in afterwards was that Britain was destroyed.
Even if you could manage to travel back in time and affect history so that Britain flourished, the war ended peacefully, and everyone had a happy ending… the moment that history reached the time lock, it would cause whatever “corrections” were necessary to ensure that, despite your efforts, Britain was still destroyed.
You might be able to change the lives of one, two, or perhaps even a handful of people, but you could not change the course of the vast river of human history.
That is the “Quantum Time Lock,” also known as the “Foundation of Human Order” in the world of magecraft.
On the other hand, it could be possible to deny human history from its foundations by destroying a quantum time lock through some great feat. But even with that method the most that could be done is deny human history beyond the destroyed quantum time lock.
The ones who can determine the next coming quantum time lock are those living in the era. Past and future intervention cannot affect the quantum time lock.
Archimedes’ goal in this game is to completely destroy the Moon Cell before the next quantum time lock, leading to a base world that would start from that precondition.
While it is normally not something that could happen, to do that Archimedes continued to shift across worlds.
If Archimedes were to completely shut down the Moon Cell before the setting of the next quantum time lock from his subjective perspective, he would achieve victory.
Although Archimedes emerges victorious on several occasions, he is not able to destroy the Moon Cell in any timeline.
While Archimedes was endeavoring to bring his plans to fruition, the Main Character was able to prove proved the route of a world that was average yet with the most potential to grow, and the quantum time lock was decided.
And just like that, Archimedes’ plans went up in smoke.
By the way, the timeline where the Main Character entered the titan’s cavern with Archimedes and was split into several pieces (right after the start of the main story of EXTELLA) is listed as “Quantum Time Lock A,” while the True Nero route ending is “Quantum Time Lock B.”
No matter what Archimedes does within this timeframe, the final “result” has already been determined.
[1]In the book, the term is printed as 霊子記録固定帯, however in-game (both Extella and FGO) 量子記録固定帯 is used. It is likely that 霊子 (spiritron) instead of 量子 (quantum) in the context of quantum timelock is a typo.霊子記録固定帯。
一定の間隔で事象の平均値を固定化するタイミングの事。
この宇宙は無数の可能性を許容し、多くの並行世界、違う展開の歴史を生み出している。
しかしそれを際限なく行うと宇宙の寿命が尽きてしまう為、一定のタイミングで“もっとも強く、安定性を持ったルート” から外れた特例の世界（ルート）を伐採し、エネルギーの無駄な消費を防いできた。
本来なら不安定な我々の認識宇宙を現在 過去 未来にわたり安定させているのはこの『伐採』と『記録带』によるものとムーンセルは結論づけている。
放っておけば無限に枝分かれしていく時間という大樹から不要な枝を伐採し、つねに「幹」だけにしていく行為───というのが一番分かりやすいイメージ。
固定帯となった歴史は過去 未来からの干渉をうけても不動のものとなるため、固定帯にある事象は何があっても変動しない。
仮に、「固定帯」より過去に移動して歴史を変動させようと、その「固定帯」に到達すれば歴史は強引に復元される。
霊子記録固定帯がある宇宙において、固定帯として登録された「結果」は決して変わらない。時間移動者に変革できるのはその「過程」だけとなる。
たとえば「ブリテンが滅んだ」という『結果』が固定された場合。
時間移動をして「ブリテンを繁栄させ、戦争を終結させ、誰もが幸福になった」という過程を成功させたとしても、歴史が固定帯に入った瞬間に「しかし、それでもブリテンは滅びた」という結果になる。
一人や二人、何人かの人生は救えるかしもれない。
しかし人類史という大きなうねりを変えることは決してできない。
これが霊子記録固定帯、魔術世界では『人理定礎』と呼ばれるもの。
逆に言えば、何らかの大偉業によってこの『霊子記録固定帯』を破壊できれば人類史を根底から否定する事が可能となるが、その方法でも「破壊した固定帯から先の人類史だけ」を否定するのが限界である。
次に訪れる『霊子記録固定帯』の決定ができるのは、その時代を生きた者たちだけである。
過去 未来からの介入では『霊子記録固定帯』に手を出せない。本作におけるアルキメデスの目的は次の霊子記録固定帯が訪れる前に『ムーンセルは壊れた』という結果を作り、その前提から始まる基本世界にすることだった。
それは本来なら起こりえない展開だが、それを起こすためにアルキメデスはシフトを繰り返した。
アルキメデスの主観において、次の霊子記録固定帯がかかる前にムーンセルを完全停止させてしまえば彼の勝利だった。
しかしアルキメデスが勝利する結未はいくつかあっても、ムーンセル完全停止のルートだけは辿り着けなかった。
そうしているうちにアルキメデスより先に「平均的かつ、今後もっとも広がりを持つ世界」のルートを主人公が証明し、霊子記録固定帯が決定。
アルキメデスの計画は水泡に帰した。
ちなみにエクステラ本編開始時、『主人公がアルキメデスと共に巨神の石室に入り、分割された』のが霊子記録固定帯Aである。
真ネロルートエンディングが霊子記録固定帯Bとなる。
もうこの間の時間においては、アルキメデスが何をどうしようと「結果」は決定したという訳だ。 - ↑

Angra Mainyu/CCC.
This is the anti-planetary Noble Phantasm Kiara gains after her reincarnation.
Angra Mainyu is the most self-serving heinous Noble Phantasm of them all where Kiara uses the world to masturbate.
Kiara offers her body in a sexual manner to all living things on Earth, including humans, animals, and plants. By completely accepting all people as is she gains the greatest possible mastery over their senses and carnality.
This Noble Phantasm is derided for being demonic and it’s similar to the living sacrifices used for certain artificial magic ceremonies used the past in order to prove the evil of humans.
It is a vortex of pleasure that melts all sentient beings, and digests their “life” in an instant. While in reality it all happens in an instant, but it feels like an eternity of pleasure.
Regardless of how different the structure of a beings intelligence may be, this vortex affects all without exception. It is not a Noble Phantasm that is limited to affect only those on Earth.
The damage increases if certain conditions are met.
If the target is of the opposite sex, the damage increases.
The more intelligent a being is, the more damage it does.
As far as the setting and lore are concerned, the Servant who would be hit with the least damage would be Archer, and Gilgamesh would be damaged the most.
The reason why this attack’s power, visuals, and scale are so huge is because reincarnated Kiara is a being similar to Saver.
People who devote their life to bringing salvation to Sattvas (living things) are referred to as Bodhisattvas. People who have attained moksha (libertation/release) and become Buddhas are also Bodhisattvas. A Bodhisattva is a god of universe scale and power, and can easily manage things on the scale of the Solar System.
Buddhism has a sense of scale of the universe that stands out from that of other religions. There are concepts like Nayuta (1060) and “The Infinitely Vast Number” (1068) which were created to represent the scale and size of a Buddha.
The entire universe is the domain of a Buddha. In Buddhism the universe in considered to be made up of three billion solar systems (a great trichiliocosm). A galaxy comprises of 3000 solar systems (a small trichiliocosm), and 1000 small trichiliocosms make up a trichiliocosm.
This actually aligns with the real scale of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and super clusters.
India had this stuff figured out over 2000 years ago? Holy crap!
In the initial design phase of the game I submitted some paperwork describing this Noble Phantasm. I thought there would be no way that this gets by CERO untouched, but surprisingly enough it did.
I still have no idea how this was able to make it past them.この世全ての欲【宝具】
アンリマユ／ＣＣＣ。
変生したキアラの対星宝具。
地球で自慰行為にふける最低最悪の宝具。
地球に残ったあらゆる生き物───人間、動物、植物に自分の体を捧げ、これを受け入れる事で最大の官能を会得し、成長する権能。
その在り方は、かつて人間の悪性を証明すめために悪魔と罵られ、生け贅に祭り上げられたある人工魔に類似する。
この快楽の渦は知性あるものを融かし、その『人生』を一瞬で昇華させる。わずか一瞬の、しかし永遠の極楽浄土の誕生である。
この快楽の渦はどれほど知性構造が異なっていようと、知性あるものには例外なく作用する。地球限定の宝具ではない。
条件によってダメージ数値は向とし、異性であるならダメージ増加、知性が高いほどダメージ増加、という特性を持っている。
設定上の話なら、もっともダメージが低いのはアーチャー、逆に最高ダメージを受けるのがギルガメッシュの予定だった。
性能、演出、ともにスケールが大きいのはキアラがセイヴァーのサーヴァントに近い存在だから。
衆生（生きとし生けるもの）を救うために奔走する人をおしなべて菩薩と呼び、また、解脱して仏になったものも菩薩である。そして菩薩とは宇宙レベルの存在規模を持つ天であり、太陽系ぐらいは軽く管理している。
仏教の世界観の広大さは他の宗教とはレベルが違う。ナユタだの無量大数といった数の概念があるのは、ひとえに仏の大きさを示すために作られた物だ。
仏教において宇宙は仏の国であり、その広さも三千大千世界と呼ばれる。
銀河系が三千世界、それが千あつまったものが三千大世界、さらにそれが千あつまったものが三千大千世界。
まさに銀河、銀河団、超銀河団の尺度と言える。二千年以上も前からこの解釈を持ってるって、インドどんだけー。
開発初期、「ラスボスにはこういう事をやらせたいです」と字コンテを作りはしたものの、セロ的に通るはずがない、と諦めていたらあっさり通ってしまった。なんでこれが通ったのかはいま以て謎である。 - ↑ Fate/Grand Order material VIII - Kama's profile, translated by Konchew

[] The BAMBOO BROOM DIARY: Melty Blood: Type Lumina Story Mode Commentary (August 7, 2022)[T] 2022/8/7: Untitled. (Kinoko)
Congratulations on the victory Jing (Hisui)!
Even I, who only watched from the reset to the final game, was glued to my monitor, almost unable to breathe from excitement.
Masoma (Vlov), the other finalist was also suuuper-duuuper skilled and strong. Nobody watching could predict who was gonna win in this close battle.
I give my unrestrained applause to this display of gaming mastery, player skill and human ingenuity!
And just as I sit here thinking that hopefully this’ll happen again next year…
You know there’s also the domestic MBTL Official Tournament happening this year? Said the smirking viewer-only participant.
◆
Apologies, but I might as well supplement some stuff to the last blog I put up.
I wrote that there are flags for Ciel, etc, in the Melty column, but…
This is not to mean that they’re just involved with another,
But rather means that they’re (generally) in the state of they were in Tsukihime from Day 3 onward.
Arc Route’s done-and-dusted, but through the mysterious power of Melty, these dreamlike days of ordinary life (shenanigans) continue. However, through some mistake, a new incident commences.
Some with Ciel, some with Akiha
/some with an alchemist
I think you can expect to team up with these two and fight some new boss, in all likelihood.
Supposing that perhaps sometime in the future there’ll be a scene in Melty where Shiki, Arcueid, Akiha, Ciel are all gathered at the Tohno mansion, then it’ll probably be as tense as on the 7th Day of the actual Tsukihime.
As said by a cat watching from the windows outside: “Is this hell?”
◆
In MBTL’s story mode each character has their own personal story, but these aren’t all happening in the same continuity.
Rather, they were all built under the premise of occurring in continuities independent from one another.
For example, even though Arcueid and Ciel’s stories start out pretty much in the same situation, their final conclusion differs depending on which of them was that continuity’s main character.
You know, the whole multiverse thing.
In addition, about who’s the character of boss rush mode:
Boss rush mode 1 is a continuity where Miyako is the main character, while boss rush mode 2 is a continuity where Noel is the main character.
That’s all for my supplementary information.
The update which launches in August and comes with updated animations for story mode makes everything really pleasing to the eye, so I hope you’ll take this opportunity to play the game.2022/8/7 : 無題。（きのこ）■
ジン氏（翡翠） 優勝おめでとうーーー！
リセットからの最終戦は観戦しているこっちも呼吸ができないくらい画面に食い入りました。
決勝相手のMASOMA氏（ヴローヴ）もめっっっちゃくちゃ、めっっっちゃくちゃ上手くて強くて、
見ている誰もが「どっちが勝つ」かなんて予測しようのない激戦でした。
素晴らしいやりこみとプレイヤースキル、そして人間力に惜しみない拍手を！
来年もまたこんな日が来ればいいな……と思いつつ、
今年だってまだ国内最強決定戦があるんだぜ？ とほくそ笑む観戦勢なのであった。
◆
すみません、ついでにちょっと前回の日記の補足を。
メルブラの項目で『フラグが立ってる』と書きましたが、これ、
『関係がある』という意味ではなく
『フラグが立っている＝だいたい月姫開始３日目の状態だよ』という意味です。
アルクルートは無事終わり、不思議なメルブラパワーで夢に見た日常（トラブル）は
続いていくけど、なにかの間違いで新しい事件が始まっちゃって
先輩とだったり、当主様とだったり
／錬金術師とだったり、
ふたりで強力して新ボスと戦う事だってあるでしょう、
という事と思っていただければ。
仮に、この先メルブラ内で遠野邸に志貴とアルクと秋葉と先輩が同席するシーンがあるとしたら、
それは月姫本編の７日目くらいの緊張感なンだ。
それを窓の外からのぞき見ているネコが一言。「地獄かよ」
◆
メルブラルミナのストーリーモードでは各キャラたちの『個別ストーリー』がありますが、
これらは一つの世界の中で起きているものではなく、
それぞれ独立した世界で起きている事、というのが前提です。
たとえばアルクのストーリーとシエルのストーリーの出だしのシチューエーションが同じでも
「どちらがその世界の主役か」で最後の展開は変わります。
マルチバース、というヤツですね。
また、ボスラッシュモードは誰が『主役』なのかというと、
ボスラッシュ１は都古が主役の世界、
ボスラッシュ２はノエルが主役の世界、となります。
以上、補足でした。
メルブラ、８月に行われるアップデートでストーリーモードの演出が
