Personally I think it could go either way. Ofcourse everyone wants the happy ending so Rin would try and succeed. The pragmatic thing to do would be to not do it at all, this is the route I would support because of the multitude of risks. Worst case scenario is Rin tries, fails, then Agrias cuts down the Lucavi that had taken Rin over.

Or we could go completely Nasu level weirdness and demonstrate that Rin actually has affinity for the second magic by showcasing a spell she had prepared for the longest time as her trump card for the war. Which is fragmenting the future into multiple segments to represent routes or possible futures. All she would have to do is find the future she wants and take it. But the risks involved are also high with the rewards extremely low. She can only use the spell once since it's kind of like a preloaded one use spell. The future she picks can only be a possible future within the next sixty seconds. Her mana will be the only tether she has to her original timeline and it is cut loose or disappears because she ran out of prana then she'll be doomed to wander the multiverse or randomly end up in an alternate future.

Generic force themselves to save her via deus ex machina BS miracle.

They can also kill her but Agrias informs a devastated Rin that in the past the holy stone had been shown to resurrect the dead when prayed to. However the circumstances that allowed for a perfect resuscitation were rather... unclear to say the least because in every other case all the stone had done was turn people into skins for Lucavi demons. So Rin is faced with either leaving her sister dead or risking everything on the holy stone that had been inhabiting Sakura's body.

It is to be noted that Agrias had only witnessed a clean resurrection only once. All the others were just demon revivals.

It's actually a mix. I mean she isn't in control of the phenomena but her denial of everything is basically making everything worse. Though Rin is capable of saying she'd kill her sister for the greater good, Agrias is a noble knight through and through. She would actually exhaust all options before resorting to killing Sakura.

There's also the problem of her not being able to control the warring powers of the grail and lucavi inside of her. Though she isn't possessed by either; they kind of start causing all these wierd paranormal effects like demons spawning around her. And she just seems to not care about any of that in her fragile mental state at that time.

The status quo just before the events of the war has always been Sakura hiding away the truth of herself, terrified no one would like her/accept her if they knew the truth about her. This time instead of her problems, her sufferings and her sins being something she treats as having never existed; they mount up into something she can't control. She wants to be able to confide in someone- family, friend, lover. Something that Rider can only partially fulfill. She wants to be able to confide in someone who won't shun her as dirty or a monster.

It would be interesting to see the Lucavi try to take over Sakura. Considering the greater grail probably watches over her as the ideal vessel at the time...

So she'd kill Shinji after he turns Lucavi. Sakura takes the holy stone by instinct, believing she could justify self-defense by showing it to people that it turned Shinji into a monster she had to kill. Meeting with Zouken who is less than disappointed with her killing Shinji nudges her psychologically. She locks herself in her room rationalizing herself. Thinking maybe if she acted like it never happened then it would be fine. But the voice of the lucavi speak through the stone. It pierces through the veil of deceit she put over her heart. It exposes all her secrets and gleefully watches her break apart enough to wish it would take her place. The grail does not allow it and fights back, telling Sakura that her purpose is set. This just puts her further on edge. When Rider returns to her and Zouken realizes Sakura is practically withdrawing from the war, he takes measures to force her into battle, starting by killibg the weakest master; Emiya. That just breaks Sakura and the holy stone begins to react and the grail follows suit. She becomes possessed by the Lucavi but not to the point of destroying her as the grail has taken root in her as all the world's evils. The powers clash violently but they compliment each other giving Sakura more than enough power to annihilate Zouken. The grail wishes to be born but so do the lucavi wish for Ultima's return. The two wishes gnaw away at Sakura who is already frazzled and she pushes their plans away. All she wants is a place to belong so she begins to look for people to accept her, all of her.

Makai priests are fairly versed in martial combat. Stick fighting can probably be overlooked :|

I mean Tougen no Fue had Jabi and Rekka kicking all sorts of butt. Like literally kick. And no, Jabi's male priest sidekick is not representative of priests in general.

Well I haven't the faintest clue who would get them. A lucavi summoning usually entails permanently possessing the summoner and outright killing him effect as the lucavi pretty much wears their skin.

If something were to happen regarding Sakura, I would imagine that she would undergo her Heaven's Feel transformation. Maybe have Shinji get a stone, turn him into a Lucavi and Sakura goes full on lesser grail then kills him. In Heaven's Feel, it seemed like Sakura was kind of insane with a plan, here she would just be plain insane. Partially anyway.

How I would imagine Gaim as a servant.

Servant Saber

Name: Gaim

True name: Kazuraba Kouta

Alias: Gaku Sano

Appearance: A young man wearimg a blue hoody with an orange armored samurai printed on the back. He has short black hair and brown black eyes.

Personality: Friendly and self-aware, Kouta is a very kind and forgiving person who hates conflict but has the determination enough to fight so others don't have to suffer. He is impulsive but has a fair amount of restraint especially when it comes to thinga related to battle. His outlook is very mature but his small wish makes him seem like a child.

Origins: Kouta is Kamen Rider Gaim, a fictional children's superhero from TV following a long list of predecessors spanning almost 50 years. He is known nationwide in Japan and in some other parts of the world, generally asia and north america. Under normal circumstances a fictional hero like Gaim should not exist however the story of Gaim is anchored heavily into the world by the fact he was played by an actual living person. This makes Gaim variably human and legitimate for summoning. The version of Kouta summoned is already the one at the chronological end of his story where he becomes a god of a new world. However he is not a true divine spirit as he is a fictional hero.

Parameters: Due to his status as a fictional hero, Gaim gains a rank down to all of his parameters.

Strength: E

Endurance : E

Agility: D

Mana: A

Luck: D

Noble Phantasm: EX

Class skills:
Riding: A

Magic resistance: B
- any spell less than a ten count aria won't affect him.

Personal skills:
Acrobatics: B
-In life, the actor that played Gaim had fair skills in acrobatics increasing his agility parameters by 1 rank.

Dancing: C
- In his lore Kouta was a former street dancer and has quite the talent for moving the crowd. He is proficient in modern hiphop and breakdancing.

Swordsmanship: C
- Kouta is a self-taught swordsman. Going with what works instead of following any real form or doctrine. Though he is proficient enough to make use of his raw power and match those with greater experience, he does not have the same proficiency as his fellow swordsman(Zangetsu)  to match and even overwhelm an enemy many times his own strength.

Healing Factor: E++
- Heals more quickly than most humans. When dealing with lethal wounds, his regenerative abilities can go into overdrive and save him from death. Sometimes even recovering him to the point of combat ready or fully restored.

Noble Phantasm:
Helheim: The forest that spurs conflict and evolution -- EX; anti-world
- As an overlord, Kouta can open dimensional rips called cracks to an alternate world known as helheim. Helheim is inhabited by a forest that grows without limit in terma of speed, habitat and size, capable of turning an urbanized world like earth into a jungle in a matter of years even with resistance. Kouta can manipulate these plants to attack or defend for him. The spores of these plants are easily spread and can grow practically anywhere? Even flesh. Fruits from this plant mutate anything that eats them and turns them into monsters known as Inves. Those inves who retain their sentience and gain the power to control the forest are known as overlords. Kouta can also control inves but not fellow overlords.

Henshin~ the miraculous transformation; sengoku driver and lockseeds -- EX; support
- transformative gear that Kouta uses to achieve his combat forms.
- orange arms~ take the spotlight! On stage: grants Kouta his basic armor and increases his strength, endurance and agility by two ranks.
- Kachidoki arms! ~ shutsuji! Ei! Ei! Ou!: Kouta's penultimate armor granting him access to his battleflags, katana-gun and a massive cannon-sword that can fire energy in multiple ways. This grants a massive four ranks and an active plus modifier boost to all of Gaim's parameters. Except for agility which only gains two ranks and no modifiers.
- kiwami arms! ~ Shutsuji! Dai-dai-dai-dai-dai-shogun!: the ultimate form of Kouta granting all the weapons of his previous forms in any number along with some others. He can wield them with higher output than their original counterparts in combination or even control them telekinetically. This form increases all of Kouta's parameters by two ranks and grants an active double plus modifier.

Quirks:
- as a servant that was summoned with an embodiment, Kouta has two sets of memories that barely mesh well together. Kind of like one person acknowledging two separate lives he had not known until recently. He is essentially both Gaku Sano and Kazuraba Kouta at the same time.
- as a servant with a base using a living person from the same time period, the world is much more forgiving to this phantasmal construct and puts barely any resistance in crushing it as it resembles an existence which should exist. This means it is more mana efficient to keep Kouta in a physical state than spirit form because spirit form would be regarded as more alien and prioritized for destruction costing more mana to resist.
- Kouta has a stronger signature as a human than as a servant making him impossible to find with a servant's senses. They would detect an average class mage rather than a servant. This allows him to mingle with the humans with almost no distinction. He still looks like the actor that played him though so some people would recognize him.

Just a question, do you think apprenticeships will be relevant in your RP rules or are you going to forego them?

No it wouldn't :|

It would make for hilarity though when Gil finally decides to unleash Enma Elish completely and Gaim regains his full power just in time to undo the dimensional rip. Gil's face after that would be all sorts of funny.

For a serious crossover:

Final Fantasy Tactics X Fate Stay Night

During Tohsaka Rin's preparation for the 5th Holy Grail War, she had been stocking up on gems for her magecraft for the better half of her life. One day, while shopping for gems, she heard a rumor of of a set of 13 crystals being auctioned. They were apparently large as stone yet beautiful as jewelry. More rumors floated around that the stones were innately magical, each having a different color and symbol of the zodiac. This piqued Rin's interest so she joined the auction just for that set of gems. She bought the set surprisingly cheap. She had her heart set on emptying her pockets the moment she saw them presented to the bidders. However, suprisingly nobody wanted them. She only had to bid against someone once and that only upped her initial offer by 10,000 yen. It was after that she learned of the dark rumors circulating about the stones being cursed as everyone who previously owned them died a gruesome macabre death as it usually entailed their entrails being scooped out.

Rin ignored those warnings ofcourse and brought the stones back to her home to experiment with her magecraft. They had turned up to be inactive with her magic and through many failures, she ended up throwing the stones into the trash in her anger. However, she had missed one stone, the one marked with the zodiac sign of Virgo.

Months pass and Tohsaka is to summon her servant. When she performs her summon, it is unwittingly in the presence of the Virgo stone. Though she uses her own gem as a catalyst, things go out of her control very quickly. Her summon sparks and sputters before a dread chill fills the room. It vanishes as quickly when a loud crash can be heard above in the attic. When Rin goes to check what happened, she is surprised to find herself faced with a blonde woman armed to the teeth with a bow, crossbow, and sword resting against noble blue clothes and thick leather armor under a metal breastplate. The woman introduces herself as the servant Archer, true name Agrias Oaks.

Rin eventually figures out that Agrias is not of their world which should be impossible because of the way the throne of heroes works. But when she is asked to recount if there had been any strange things going on, Rin tells her servant the only strange thing she had in her house was a set of fake magic stones inscribed with the zodiac. Agrias reacts violently to this and scours the room where the summoning took place until she find the Virgo stone. Agrias explains that the stone was a holy stone from her world that was pure power with a fair bit of self sentience. It would be inert to anyone it did not resonate with. However, the stone was also a gateway for demons known as Lucavi whose goal was to summon a great devil, Ultima. Agrias asks where the rest of the stones are and Rin pales as she says that she threw them out. Agrias is innerved as Lucavi can be summoned by someone with an impure enough heart and restart the preparations of summoning Ultima once again. Rin then remembers about the gruesome murders and is informed by Agrias that such bloodshed is needed for the summoning of Ultima. Double bad as now Rin realizes that demons are running around killing people to power their demon god summoning while servant are killing people to power their own mana reserves and a the same time the demon summoning.

Life was just great for Tohsaka Rin don't you think?

From what I've seen in the first 3 seasons, Red Reqiuem, Beast of White Knight and ZERO. I'm pretty sure soul metal is supposedly capable of doing anything so long as the knight has the spirit to make it do so. I mean I think the training sword that grew wings in Makai Senki was literal and not just figurative. It's not surprising that the armor wearer can will makai flames to appear on their armor. I think using the lighter just puts less stress on the knight.

This time an actual original character.

Name: Hyde Nemoto Hendrikson

Status: freelance mage

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Magic circuit quantity: C

Magic circuit quality: C

Elemental affinity: Fire(normal), thought(origin compulsion)

Origin: reading/comprehension(awakened)

Appearance: Short black hair brushed back into unruly spikes. He tends to dress strangely in outlandishly modified modern clothes mixed with more formal clothing like sweaters that end in a fingerless palm glove with adjustable elastic sleeves under a silk vest while wearing slacks.

Personality: He's the type of person who's difficult to get a handle on. With his origin awakened, it would not be strange to find him always with a book in hand. However he is by no means a bibliophile. He merely likes to gain understanding of concepts, reading into situations, information and phenomena until he cannot find anomalies in the reasoning. He is always studying one thing or another with nothing in relation to any useful field at the time like a sudden interest in perfectly understanding human metabolism so he repeatedly gains and loses weight on purpose just to learn more of it. When speaking of problems, he always acts like it has nothing to do with him regardless whether the problem was caused by him, troubling him or troubling someone in any relation to him. He has a sense of right and wrong but shows little to no emotion at all when it comes to morality, merely treating it as judging through logic. Despite his origin affecting his ability to show compassion for others due to its awakening as well as his core personality, his affinity for human thought and emotion causes him to be somewhat of an empath, feeling what others feel. He is decidedly against the suffering of others as their anguish is transmitted to him and he finds such to be unpleasant. He is far from being morally upright though as he doesn't mind atrocities committed so long as they don't affect his studies or are some far removed from him.

History: Hyde comes from a long line of magi. Their history spanning into the thousands of years with almost a hundred generations in the running. Even then they have little to nothing to show for in their research beyond a unique family crest. That's because Hyde comes from, what he himself describes as, a family of idiots. Where other magi lineages practice and research their arts for the sake of reaching the root, his family had always practiced magecraft solely to prove common sense wrong just because they can. Hyde admits though that he himself is not so different from them as he has no interest in reaching the root at all. In fact what little research he has done on that regard is done purely out if spite for the mage associations in general so he can go the root and back to lord over the others. He does not plan to actually make use of this travel to commune or control the root or whatever. Hyde's nature is such that he likes to figure things out. The moment of obtaining the answer and the steps that lead to it are far more important than the answer itself or the difficulty of the question. To reach the root and obtain the answers from it regarding the origin of the world and how to shape it is something he finds to be a rather boring process as it feels like cheating. Though he does research on a way to reach the root, he does not inherit any material from his predecessors or father because the man had no interest in the study either. Instead Hyde's father tried to prove the idea of uniformity of blood ensuring safe crest transplantation was false. So Hyde's British father went to Japan and pretty much built a polygamist's dream of a married arrangement with over 10 women who each bore at least 3 children to him. The Hendrikson family crest was then tested on all of them which resulted in half of the generation dying. None of Hyde's siblings survived the tests so he was the only one left of his litter. Hyde holds no love for his father because of this but cannot disdain the practice either because deep down Hyde knows he is capable of doing such a thing. In the end though the Hyde's father had technically proven the association wron because the chances of transplant failure by non-homogeniety of blood was placed at around 90% as opposed to the death toll by rejection amongst the Hendriksons at 50%


skills:

Hendrikson Family Crest: EX
- This is thaumaturgy that could probably put true sorcery a run for its money. That's because unlike regular crests, the Hendrikson family spell crest was made in such a way that it could be passed on to all of a magus' offspring. There would be no need for an heir anymore because all children can gain use of it to some extent.

- The crest is divided into two parts. A core soul which is pretty much nothing but information and memories, as well as terminal bodies. As implied, there is only one core soul while there are multiple terminal bodies. This is because the terminal body crests are the ones being given to members of the Hendrikson house magi. The core soul itself exists in a separate space far removed from the world itself and yet retaining a bond with the terminal body crests.

- The core soul contains most of the family crest's functions such as accumulated magic circuits and collective thaumaturgical processes of the whole clan. It retains a tether to the real world and sends mana to supplement those with body terminal crests. When required for dire usage, the core soul crest can be summoned into the real world to link with the body terminal crest of the summoner. This completes the formation of magic circuits provided by the completed family crest as opposed to the normal prana supply. However the summoning process requires a ten-count aria and is automatically returned to the other dimension after 24 hours if the borrower has not returned it. If the crest has been tampered with the to retain control of it after 24 hours, it is retrieved by force by a dragon.

- The dragon is a completely different case from the crest as it was only contained by the ancestor of the ancestor who created the family crest. The dragon was captured and sealed and somehow directed into acting as the crest's guardian after some hundred or so Hendrikson ancestors and a whole lot of "Neener neener neener"s to the magi community collective who said taming a dragon is impossible.

- the body terminals act as antennas to keep the core soul tethered to the original dimension and provide the base material for physical manifestation of magic circuits. Think of it like stem cells waiting for the proper DNA and RNA that the core soul provides before forming into the magic circuits. It also receives information inside the core soul allowing the connected magi to obtain knowledge stored inside the core soul.

- A fascinating concept of the body terminals is that they have another function, that is to harvest magic circuits. Those who die with the body terminal crests on them have their magic circuits posthumously collected and sent to the core soul collective. This allows the family to crest to have stored over thousands of magic circuits over the many years since the crest's creation from multiple members of the Hendrikson clan. The body terminal also requires no transfer as it automatically returns to the core soul along with the modifications made to it by the terminal owner. This is a type of privacy guard for the owner as it means their research in thaumaturgy is safe until their death. Or if they are willing to share it at all.

Omnipath: D++
- Due to his origin, Hyde has developed a skill that directly links with thoughts, ideas and emotions. He reads not only books but situations, expressions, magecraft, everything. Because he is not truly capable of comprehending things naturally as humans are limited, he does not possess an extent of understanding to be described as omniscient. This ability of his merely allows him to understand and interact with a subject. Any magecraft of lower rank can be instantly understood while higher rank or any artifact, thought, history connected to magecraft of a higher rank requires time to fully comprehend. When he gains a clue or inspiration on the subject, his ability to read can so much as triple. Allowing for instant understanding or dramatically increasing the speed of comprehension. Things of a different plane can cause pain to Hyde because they cannot be understood by the scope of someone who is limited by his humanity. This causes immense stress on his mind, enough to cause aneurysms. However gaining a clue or a bridge as a manner of understanding beings like ORTs or Gilgamesh's Enma Elish can allow him to view them with little to no problem at all.

Fire Manipulation: B
- As a magus aligned with flame, Hyde is capable of manipulating fire. Since childhood, he has often lit fire in his hands using nothing but his prana and controlling it for fun, or literally playing with fire. Into his adolescence as he begins to live alone, he starts using his fire magic for more mundane uses as lighting candles, cooking, heating his bath and all sorts of other things just to cut down on his bills. This has allowed him to hone his own ability to control fire without the need for incantations to a ridiculous degree as one could mistake him for having affinity for all elements with how he controls his flames. However this level of control only extends to flames of a size he can hold in his hands. Due to having never needed bigger flames, he displays a surprising lack of control; almost half to what one would expect of him.

- Hyde separates his fire manipulation into two processes, Creation and Control. Creation also includes maintenance and this was the first part he mastered. Control and manipulation came afterwards. Larger flames require greater concentration in Creation and Maintenance leaving less focus on control. If fire already exists though in a sufficient size then Hyde can pour his focus into control and lose much less hold on his flames, negating much of the downside of manipulating large flames.

Bounded Field: E
- Being a cornerstone of magecraft, the ability to create a bounded field is not beyond Hyde. But because he had very little interest in it, he only studied enough just to prove he could do it. His bounded fields thus far come in two varieties: one that informs him if someone has crossed his boundary and one that subconsciously directs people away.

Structural Analysis: C
- Also a basic spell for magi. Hyde had fair skill for this ability. However, he eventually lost interest in it after deeming that his ability with it is adequate. His Structural Analysis is still imperfect though as it is possible to fool him by building blindspots and hiding things with magecraft.

Reinforcement: D
- A basic spell Hyde is fairly average with. Though he can reinforce objects to a great extent, it is still not to the utmost maximum. His ability to reinforce himself is also limited to increasing his physical abilities by 10-20%

Actual lore a shown in the TV series:
- Makai Senki: The buffonish senator who claimed to have great mental strength to counter Inga.
- overall series: The use of the powers of Makai to empower spells implies they use Inga in a controlled manner.
- Makai Senki: All Makai Knights are trained to control their Inga.
- Yami wo Terasumono: Soul Metal is made from the crystallized *something* of a cardinal horror. You know the one they had chopped up and sealed in different places.
- Zero Black Blood: the makai priest girl actually had a piece of her father grafted into her so she can wield his sword.

Yin Yang information:
- Yin: Generally refers to the dark part of the personality balance. It also indicates the female side of the personality.
- Yang: This indicates the light part of the personality balance and indicates male side of the personality.

Conclusion:

Females are generally better Makai Priests as they are inherently more attuned to having more Inga which can be used for higher powered spells. Men are more suited for Makai Knighthood because Soul Metal is basically crystallized Inga spit and they have the necessary controlled Yang after training to counterbalance and wield it.

Females + soul metal = Inga on Inga. In short, bad things will probably happen. It's not a case of sexism at all unless you count natural bodily functions as sexist. Like childbirth.

It actually makes perfect sense why women can't use soul metal if you combine the lore with actual information on yin and yang.
