As I state at the end of the video, please suggest to me things you would like this series to cover.

[@one-eyedspider5965]

Maybe either Sorcery Traits or Thaumaturgical Foundations? Both are very interesting.

[@ibarazaki5490]

How about the Beasts of Humanity? All the current we know of, abilities and qualification of becoming Beasts

[@hydrasfang]

Did I already ask about a video on the various kinds of dragons and their importance in Typemoon lore? If I did sorry to bring it up again and if not I feel it could be an interesting video/discussion topic.

[@michaeldaniels642]

@@ibarazaki5490 pretty sure they did beasts already

[@rushiasapostle5thapostleof587]

Maybe a vid on Idea Blood, principles and in general the new tsukihime stuff

[@thomasphiri1859]

"The Root seems to only make itself available to those who want nothing to do with." that is such a layered sentence that perfectly describes a lot of the conflicts in the Nasuverse.

[@MrTigracho]

Maybe the root does this in order to filter those who could potentially cause havok with it?

[@RatedShadowXrd]

> Video about Motivation Vergil: NOW I'M A LITTLE MOTIVATED

[@Arue23]

How about the current uses of modern technology used in magecraft and how different things would be if mages were more accepting of it.

[@jmmproductions6741]

Well, modern technology is sort of the enemy of Magecraft and the Mystery in general. The more the modern world continues to advance, and the more we as a people unravel the mysteries of our universe, the weaker the Mystery becomes. Our level of science and understanding has helped weaken the Mystery over centuries. It's part of the reason the Mystery is concealed; so that the effects of its weakening are lessened. It's part of why Magecraft of modern times is only a fraction of what it once was.

[@jesserolandokusbandi5997]

Maybe covering meaning behind servant class can be nice so it can give an insight how a heroic spirit can be closer to be grand servant. After following some lore, I felt there some hint grand servant can be choose, for example Hassan I Sabbah being and the only grand assassin because legend about both his name and organization so popular and being use as a word to show he perfect for this class since what really matter to be assassin is about bring death sentence

[@gevonridore760]

Do a lesson about the difference in western mage craft and eastern mage craft, and why western mages think they craft is better then eastern mages .

[@Theone_who_asked]

My friend, their mages, do you really think they need rational reasoning for their actions?

[@michaelrobinson2687]

@@Theone_who_asked Of course they'd need a reason for their actions. The Whydunnit is always an important factor.

[@Theone_who_asked]

[@izzymosley1970]

I think an interesting story could be told in the nasuverse about to unfairness of magecraft where some people can do things that's literally impossible for other people to do because they were born into the right family.

[@thabangpatiko9869]

Not unfairness it is good luck

[@aidenharris5296]

What’s Fr unfair is origins

[@povilzem]

Ah, the infamous "whydunnit"...

[@justsomeerengoofyface]

I think both you and Tsiah IV explained things differently.Tsiah explained magecraft in straightforward way while you explained things in an alluring way(the way you talk).At least thats how I see.Sorry English is not my main language

[@michaelrobinson2687]

I like your video on Motivations - Or as Lord El-Melloi II might refer to them the Whydunnit.

[@cameronrhodes1101]

I was wondering can you do a lesson on animals in magecraft like Svin magecraft and it's possibly like servants with animal traits

[@bluestar-4496]

I would would be interested in a lesson on Sorcery Trait's.

[@otakudaikun]

What do you mean?

[@bluestar-4496]

They are also called Thaumaturgical Attribute‘s, they are a specific property in some mage families that give some sort of effect. Some examples would be one the Edelfelt family who have a sorcery trait called "Sisters" that lets them have two successors that can both inherit the families magic crest which allows both Luvia and her twin sister be the families heirs, two Kirei had a sorcery trait called “Opening Wounds” that made him really good at spiritual surgery, three the Matou’s have one called “Absorption” which let’s them bind things to themselves, and there are a bunch of others.

[@otakudaikun]

@@bluestar-4496 Not a bad idea^^

[@ryudragon7]

I'd be the type of Mage seeking to bring back magic from the age of the gods. Calling upon Casters like Madea in the holy grail war for tutilage. Hoping to bring arcane back to the modern age, while parallelly moving alongside progress. If nothing else, looking to capture magic of old and developing items that mimic it like an artificer.

[@smellyuncle]

Could you do a lesson on fairies since the next FGO chapter is Avalon le Fae, maybe?

[@rokushakubo1]

Thank you for your content!

[@SBGersten24]

I know it might be a bit late, but what about how/if certain cultural upbringing also has influence on mage diversity. Not sure if it is just in the Nasuverse or part of human history, but it seems that parts of Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia have a richer mage history than that of other parts of the Western world. While correlation does not equal causation, it is interesting that while the human history of those parts of the world are richer than that of the Western world, so is the history of the magus that stem from those region of the world. In summation, does regional up bringing and history influence the capacity of mage?

[@otakudaikun]

Im pretty sure it helps. Places with a rich history of Magecraft are probably more likely to foster better mages. It doesn't seem to prevent certain bloodlines from declining though. It's more likely to influence the type of Magecraft practiced there.

[@mercenarygundam1487]

Here's an easy motivation: Gacha and Mapo Tofu.

[@justsomeguywithahandlebarm2456]

[@izzymosley1970]

I wonder how strong a normal person that doesn't come from any special family of mages could become in the nasuverse assuming this average person had the willpower to do anything it took to get stronger.

[@gamerx6545]

I mean look at fgo ritsuka and you will see what crazy things he has done.

[@aboodbb8774]

Actually if you have the luxury of time even if you are normal person you will eventually become very strong and the knowledge and wisdom you will have along the time will made you a big name Remember mage only have time as much as human beings after all that's why they inherits their magic crest and all the knowledge they had to thier descendents and plus marrying with other mages to made a more powerful hier So if you could reach immorality you will eventually become very powerful

One topic I'd really like to see is Luck it permeates the fate universe is a messurable statitic and can be utilized.

[@Zaber177]

I don't think you ever really covered jewel magecraft but it would be nice. Because it be nice to learn it s fundamental nature. Its a very stand-alone type of magecraft.

[@otakudaikun]

I've never given it its own lesson but I've definitely covered it plenty of times.

Let me see if I've got this right off the top of my head. Put mana in stone. Stone is spell now. Put more mana in stone. Stone now better spell! Repeat ad nauseam. Fight start- THROW STONE! Stone gone...think about stone......regret... Is this summary accurate enough?

I have a question so let's say an person with an average amount of magical potential in the nasuverse someone who doesn't come from any special families learns about mages and thinks they are a threat to humanity and decides that he wants to kill all of them by himself this character can prepare for as long as they want in a normal human lifespan so how close could they get to achieving their goal?

[@otakudaikun]

Very unlikely without some dope circumstances. We already have kiritsugu as an example of a mage killer, and his story proves you can't be too careful.

My ultimate goal for reaching the root would be to accomplish four wishes. First to become a hero of legend like Gilgamesh, Cu chulainn, or Iskandar not exactly a 100% good person but someone who inspires others to pursue their dreams I would accomplish this wish by achieving my other three, first is overthrowing the corrupt buracrats and corporate tyrants who control our world holding our potential back and wiping the slate clean for new geniuses to rise up and reach the currently overcrowded top, second develop a form of clean cheep energy that everyone can use to improve their daily lives and most importantly three discover the form of immortality I desperately want controlled reincarnation that allows me to be reborn in any world I want in any form I want while keeping my memories and emotions from each life safely stored somewhere and leave the research of this accomplishment behind for others to follow if they want if I can accomplish these things I'd be satisfied with my life. As for possible new lessons notable historical mages and their impact on magecraft like Merlin, Solomon and Zelrech might be an interest topic
