Regarding Medea and Circe, I meant to say niece, not nephew lol
Don't worry, we all make mistakes.
It's fine there's worse mistakes
Similar differences with 90% of the viewers not even noticing it on the first watch.
We forgive you. Circe won't 👀
I guess when it comes to fate, it's easy to get confused with the gender markers lol
I hadn't heard of the witch April until making this video. Pretty cool little short story.
Whose the author for that story? This vid is the first time ive heard of that story, really intrigues me
@@aimanfitry4527 Meteo Hoshizora is the author.
@@otakudaikun thanks dai kun
@@otakudaikun Try having Lessons in Magecraft video about the Oni kind
It is based on another short story called the April Witch, which Nasu used as the basis of all witches in nasuverse including how love is poison to true witches.
Great lesson, I never thought of witches as being a hole other thing. I always thought they were just mage's that were woman. The next lesson sounds really interesting can't wait.
Wea
Lol I remember reading somewhere apparently Assasin Scathach implied that they could swap the FGO protagonist's gender with her runes. Damn witchcraft is scary
the owl house also makes the distinction of witches being a separate species all together I always find it fascinating when a series or franchise will make something like witch or witches more than a title.
I'm surprised you didn't speak of Salem and witches, although there probably were no true witches involved ; Abigail, like Medea, is heavily influences by the accusations when she manifest as a servant.
On a related note, a video on the outer gods could be interesting.
Same. Glad I'm not the only one.
Yeah, the lovecraft gods are really intressting. In the nasuverse the 2 we mainly have information about are Yog-Sototh and Cthulu. Cthulu in his sunken city of ry'lay(probably spelled it wrong) have inspired artists and mages in the fate verse mostly Perlati with his spellbook to try and wake up so he can rule the earth.
On the fate scale of how bad a an apocalypse Cthulu is I speculate that he was beaten into a coma by Tiamat and he was a contender to who would make life on earth with Tiamat being the victor. From the starfish demons produced by Prelati's spellbook we can asume that cthulu produces a foregin reality field that can contain an entire ecosystem of demonic entities if he where to place down that reality on earth like a fixture instead of any human history produced by Tiamat he could have been the one to produce life on earth but Tiamat was stronger so her life was created and humans rule instead of starfish monsters.
Yog-Sothot, Yut-Typhon, "Father" is the non existent entity that forced itself into being real after being called by Raum to help create the heroic spirit Abigail Williams. He is apparently strong enough to just force himself to be real in a universe/timeline where he doesn't exist and give Abigail who have a fraction of his power a noble phantsm that is described as making things experience endlessness and only Abigails psychological blocks keep it from being an anti world noble phantasm.
Yog-Sothot as one of the 2 biggest gods in lovecrafts pantheon and is described as all knowing and existing between and outside of everything and all dimensions probably should be overpowered in adapted form. His description seems to match him being some form of root [ ] being in the nasuverse, Azathot the nuclear chaos that dreams up everything in existence could just be a name for the root itself. Personally I think if he cared about it he could destroy the world easily but the only thing that makes him even have an opinion about whether humanity lives or dies is Abigail. Raum created Abigail to fight the foregin god in Goetias place after Goetia died so the full power of yog sothot should at the very least be comparable to the foregin gods.
"Circe's Nephew"... that caught me off guard lol
Damn, shame on me. I never even noticed I said that.
@@otakudaikun
haha no biggie we knew what you meant. Just had to do a double take when I heard it 🤣
Kind of curious of what would happen if we got a pseudo servant consisting of
Souichirou Kuzuki or Soujuurou Shizuki or
Lugh Beowulf as the base of said pseudo servant, maybe involving one of the Norse Gods or some other pantheon that hasn't got much attention.
It's definitely possible. Depends on the demand tho.
One interesting idea I thought of for a character in the nasuverse would be a strong character who doesn't use magecraft but is strong because they just did a bunch of normal things that people do to get strong except a lot more extreme and they don't even know about magecraft and just wanted to get really strong and smart.
So Saitama?
You literally just described FGO’s protagonist. They get some spells, but only with their mystic codes. Pretty frustrating tbh.
I actually didn't know a lot about witchcraft in Type-Moon. At first I thought it was just another name for magecraft used by women that have something to do with curses, power given via a demonic supernatural force or sacrifice.
I find that type moon's concept of "witchcraft" is the most divergent from occult source material. But I do recognize that "Witch" in Japanese (Majou) tends to represent "consequence" like the monkey's paw.
In our real world, witchcraft is the art of binding a sequence of events to a totem.
A witch is someone who can conduct astral and etheric energies to manifest their desires.
They are the female counterpart to holy scribes/sages. Humans with enough divine masculine energy, gifted with a connection to the heavens and act as instruments of gods or "Bodhisattva".
On the north and south american continents, the energies are flipped so you can notice that many Indigenous tribes have shaman priestess chiefs (like Pocahontas) and the medicine men act more akin to the witches of the old world.
Pretty neat eh?
I wish Prisma Ilya opted to actually be witches instead of magical girls because card magic (tarot, Oracle, divination cards) is probably the most common form of White witchcraft humans STILL USE and I find it such a missed opportunity to show how one goes from nothing to Caster class servant.
The Morg of Avalon were some of the strongest witches ever recorded in European history but Polynesians were known to resurrect, Australian Bush Tribe Telepathy, Mayan Blood magic, North american Skinwalkers, Chinese Fate Binding, Siberian Sacrificial Rites, Ainu Spirit resonance, Italian Signatura,
Witch hunter robin only teased the possibilities
Dark Willow from season 6 of Buffy kinda nailed it though.
Man Witches are no jokes I wonder how the first one looks like
I would love to see a video on prototype directly where we piece together all the information nasu has from the main story to fgo and how he worked the characters around in fsn as well
That could also be a good Segway on showing how it was manually connected to the main timeline and some good little connections to see
You really didn't have to try to sell us on witches, we already love them
Lessons of Magecraft I'm so pleased for witchcraft and I told you there is a supernatural force outside of reach and we all know what's going on. I enjoyed the story part about witch Morgan of Magecraft and the infinity crystal was something and about Cersei of Aiya she's a true goddess witch and I'm very surprised for her to worship hecate. I'm so proud of Cersei she knows how to attack her enemies
Thank you!
Love this series. Probably gonna have to watch them all again a couple of times so I can finally nail down ideas for the Nasuverse OC I wanna make.
For B Movie horror movies that deal with Witchcraft, check out Mark Of The Witch and Witchcraft '70. For artistic movies that deal with Witchcraft, check out Belladonna Of Sadness.
I could say a Lesson in Magecraft discussing the Gods, what they used to be, what they did to influence the World... And maybe another one on the Outer Gods, how they are different from the old Gods, how they scale up in power, and why they are influencing humanity is in order. After that... We how it can translate into a video towards scriptures like the Necronomicon and the Book of the Dead. Or is it the other way around?
But, anyways, we can only wait and see about that.
Otakudaikun do gem magic I don't think you've done that yet. And the tohsaka bloodline
Thank you for the lesson
I think a cool idea for a character in the nasuverse would be a character who is really strong despite the fact they can't use magecraft and got their power by other means or by training really really hard. Like maybe this character could be a threat to a mage not because of physical strength but because of intelligence or knowledge that they have.
I once read a book like that. The protagonista live in a magical society, and the book "villain" is a "Sorcerer" that is using his "Magic" to create magical artifacts that look like normal gadgets, wich is ilegal in the magical society. In the end, it turns out that the Villain is only a scientist that Discover how to create detector, drainers, and others technological gadgets that can chance the magical society without knowing about Magic. Bye the way, the Villain, Isaac, was Nicer than the mages in the world, or Even the really morally ambiguous protagonists. He becomes a full blown enemy of the protags after they try to kill them.
@@jesusalejandrogalavizherre3775 that sounds pretty neat.
I mean that's pretty much how Kiritsugu operated during his time as a mage killer, using modern weapons or his origin to assassinate rather than overwhelming people with time alter.
I think a interesting idea for a story in the nasuverse could be a story about a normal person or perhaps a mage who lost their ability to use magic to try and become as powerful as they possibly could despite the fact they can't use magic perhaps they could try to use science or customized training regimens to make themselves as strong and as smart as humanly possible or maybe they could even use things like genetic engineering or cybernetics to go beyond their human limitations
I love your magecraft lore videos. They’re so inspiring.
More of this plz
Very interesting, I did not know any of this. Thanks Dai.
Love this episode of lesson of magecrsft keep it up. Can you do a episode on elemental mage craft next. Caster class jalter would use dragon style magecraft
Master of chaldea: I fear no woman, but that thing……
Fusion servant of Van ghoh and Kiyohime
Master of chaldea: it’s scare me.
Great videos on explaining the nasuverse. Your explanations are clear and very detailed.Can some of your next videos maybe cover primordial deamons, or how do underworlds and afterlives work in the nasuverse, or how some pantheons and gods came to be, because I haven't been able to find much information that made sense to me

Alice my beloved
Very interesting 👍
Thank for the lesson professor dai listening to this as I play xenoblade 3 lol
Now we know which is witch.
Jokes aside, as a big sucker for Nasuverse lore, I loved the video, very interesting.
You definitely need to be the next spokesman for Type Moon! 🌕
I've never heard of the witch April, so is she like one type-moon's April fool's joke or something.
Just a short story.
@@otakudaikun Thanks. After a quick search, it turns out it was a short story for an April fool's day joke.
So what would happen if someone with out magic circuits tried to do witchcraft they made the sacrifice and did everything perfectly would the witchcraft work?
A nephew? I didn't know there was a gender swap Medea in this series.
Dammit, I messed up. I hate when I do crap like this.
@@otakudaikun Ah. And I was excited for a moment. A male Medea would be quite the sight
I'm half joking but if there was a male Medea and female Jason that had a proper relationship in a Fate world we don't know of yet though.
The Protoverse?..Dang,Female Merlin aka Mari wasn’t kidding.
When's the next FGO lore video coming out?? I can't wait for the story of LB 6 since I skipped it when playing.
Also, loved this vid.
I don't make those till I play them in NA.
@@otakudaikun Oh. Well then, I'll just wait.
Tamamo Forgotten it seems
Are working on the next case file video? also are you at some point gonna make a lore video of mahoustukai no yoru?
Yes and yes.
Wait.
Going by this. Mordred isn't just a dragonkin. She could potentially also be a fairy and a witch. Maybe Morgan turned Mordred into a humonculus not just to speed up her aging but also to restrict her abilities so Mordred wouldn't be able to challenge her in the future.
All conjecture, but just something interesting to consider.
Is there antidotes to circe's poison btw, and also how can we tell when circe is offering her hospitality from her feast and when she is not?
I'm sure there are antidotes, but I don't know about her using them. I guess you've just gotta trust her and be on her good side.
Waterrrr
Could you do a lore episode on black magic and magic like what Gil de rais and franswa pray lati use (can’t spell there name for the life of me)
If I recall Ayaka sajyou did use formal craft too right.
Perhaps. I'd have to look her up again if I didn't mention her here.
So magecraft but for witches
Uhh... Not quite. You don't have to be a witch to use witchcraft.
What, nephew!?!
I'm sorry... Guess I'll make a pinned comment correcting myself.
@@otakudaikun Hey it's one mistake, besides I thought you were going to explain that Medea was cursed by her aunt and was change into a woman.
@@3dark7Just ask Merlin.He know what to do😏
I guess Warlockcraft wasn’t listed yet..
🍡
Whole episode on summoning?
I dunno if there's enough information on that. I feel I've already said all I can on that specific topic.
So if Witches blood thins when breeding with humans, how are pureblood witchs born?
Guys can be witches too. So witch on witch I'm guessing.
The males are well noticed as Warlocks.
OK real talk. Exactly what spells would be considered magecraft and what spells would be considered true magic? Fireballs? Eldritch Blasts? Energy constructs? Meteor storms? I’m honestly confused.
Well there are only a handful of true magics discovered, so unless you reach the root, what you're doing is just plain old Magecraft.
@@otakudaikun So pretty much any spell that doesn’t do what the true magics do is magecraft?
@@imperatordei6615 There are different branches of magecraft, such as witchcraft in this case.
Would Abigail count as a Witch too?
You would think so, but the spells she's using are from the outer gods so it's not the type of witch described here.
@@otakudaikun Makes sense. But imma be real. Alice is my favorite. After seeing her in Mahoutsukai no Yoru, yeah she’s a menace
Wait... So there really aren't any male witches?
Not pureblood ones, no.
@@otakudaikun So if all witches during the age of gods were women... How did they even reproduce?! Did they also have that *p!n3$* mage craft Merlin had?
@@LoliLover36669 I'm actually not 100% sure. Beryl Gut's mom was a witch, and apparently she claimed she was her own mother, whatever that means.
@@otakudaikun A shame. Welp! At least now I have another thing added to my *Don't Worry About It* list
Uh
