Seed's Choice
The Seed chose everything, you weren't given a say.
Experiment
A version of Zelretch has recently discovered a new Type that has made home on Earth with multidimensional abilities and has grown concerned. He decided it was time to prepare for his potential demise and he made me a 'Seed'. I was made to give a suitable heir the power of the Second True Magic, the Kaleidoscope, the Operation of Parallel Worlds. Now, don't get excited, you're probably not the heir. Rather than giving me to someone he believed to be a suitable heir, he decided to put me in the person most suitable to find him a suitable heir. Now, don't think you're doing this for free, or in your own universe. You're the only person in your entire universe
with more than a tiny smidgen of magical potential, and if you're to find a suitable heir you're going to need to be able to survive whatever universe they're in. I have the ability to give you powers, Servants, and to change your appearance. I'm even able to perform a limited version of Heaven's Feel (The Third Magic, Materialization of the Soul) to reincarnate you using a scan of the Dress of Heaven (A Mystic Code that allows for use of a limited version of Heaven's Feel. A Mystic Code is an item that uses Magecraft or Magic.). If you wish, I will keep private anything you desire from our time together once I'm bonded to my new host, as long as it doesn't endanger their safety. My new host, the one who will be the heir for the Kaleidoscope, will need to be human (or a human subspecies), have magical potential, and have strong moral integrity. Zelretch has decided that Tohsaka Rin or Luvia Edelfelt are the most desirable candidates but since you are the one
I found to be most likely to find the best candidate in the multiverse you will, in the end, have the final decision who it goes to. If you die or I believe you're actively not seeking a suitable heir I will jump to the closest person

Character
Master
You are a Magus (Or, at least, a Spellcaster) and have the ability to summon Servants.
Servants are superhuman beings of legend and myth, some even able to solo the likes of Otsutsuki Kaguya (Naruto) or Scion (Worm).
As a Master, your Servant(s) will be bound to you by Command Seals, which you can use to give your Servants absolute commands. Servants can resist the use of Command Seals if their Magic Resistance skill is high enough. With the help of Command Seals, Servants can do things they normally couldn't, such as stronger attacks or teleporting to your location, though this has an upper limit. Their primary uses are to make your Servant listen to you, bring your Servant to your location, or to power up your Servant's Noble Phantasm, which is often their strongest attack or some sort of special ability. When you go to sleep you will see the memories of your Servants, though you'll only see the memories of one each night.
Character Reincarnation
You can reincarnate into a new life as a 'fictional character' you once knew of. You can only reincarnate as 'Nasuverse' characters or characters from the universe you've chosen to arrive in.

Perks
Ultimate Aim
You achieve an elite level of aim that combines the mastery of a seasoned marksman with the ability to precisely account for every relevant variable. If you are aware of all factors, your accuracy is flawless, and even if you're unaware of minor variables, your experienced aim compensates instinctively to maintain a high level of precision.
Omniglot
You have an innate talent for languages. You also have perfect knowledge of all languages spoken by more than 1,000 humans in the setting you arrive in.

Supreme Mind Palace

It provides an indestructible mental repository for every memory and skill, allowing flawless recall, enhanced emotional regulation, mental interference detection, scenario simulation, and even muscle memory refinement. This ability optimizes cognitive function, making the user a prodigious learner, strategist, and problem solver.
Ultimate Perfect Body
Grants peak physical capabilities, enhancing strength, durability, speed, reflexes, senses, and regeneration. It provides instant access to full physical strength without risking permanent injuries and raises Servant parameters by a tier (to a maximum of A-rank). Additionally, it includes resistance to mental interference, skewed precognitive predictions, and refined reaction time of 0.005 seconds, ensuring unmatched resilience and efficiency in any scenario.
Perfect Appearance
Your appearance starts at EX-rank for the setting you started out in (If you reincarnate you can make it take time), but if you ever meet anyone even more beautiful, your beauty grows to equal their own. You can choose how fast this process takes. You cannot scar unless and any wounds unless you don't want them to, and if you do it's aesthetically pleasing. Any wounds you receive will heal properly.
Neurotypical
You can have any mental condition, disability, or issue you currently have mostly removed. It will be as if you were treated by the best specialists in both this world and another of your choice for 10 years (or less if 10 whole years isn't necessary).
Peaceful Vibes
People of the same moral alignment as you will be slightly more likely to mesh well with you. You'll be more likely to work well together on a team. This isn't mind-control, it's probability manipulation.
Insomnia
You have no need to sleep, you'll constantly be alert and awake. You can turn this off at will.
Enhanced Regeneration
You heal at 5 times the speed that you would otherwise. This does not make cancer more dangerous to you.
This stacks with Avalon and other regenerative or healing effects.

Wanted x3
You find that you have a knack for pissing off people of your opposing alignments.
If you take this once, this only happens in worlds that aren't very dangerous, relatively speaking. Think of Harry Potter, My Hero Academia, or Avatar.
If you take this twice, this happens in all but the most dangerous worlds. Think worlds like Fairy Tail, RWBY, Genshin Impact, or Ranma 1/2.
If you take this three times, this happens in all worlds.
Monologue
You have a tendency to monologue. It's nothing overpowering, but if you don't actively go out of your way to not monologue, you're probably going to monologue after you feel you've won.
Hunted x3
If you take this once: A group will decide to hunt you in any world you go to. They will be strong, but not overwhelmingly so, relative to most combatants in that world.
If you take this twice: A group or person will decide to hunt you in any world you go to. They will be stronger than a vast majority of combatants in that world.
If you take this three times: A group or person will decide to hunt you in any world you go to. They will be the strongest group or person in the world.
It may or may not be possible to talk them out of hunting you.
Ditz
Outside of battle, you're clumsy and forgetful. These can both be removed through your powers or through practice.
Shounen
You're not necessarily any less intelligent... you just care less. You're really bad at anything when you lack motivation or interest.
Maid
People will expect you to do small favors for them whenever you're not busy with something important. People might ask you to mow their lawn or save their cat from a tree. You can turn them down, but most people will be offended.
Handicapped
People believe you to be handicapped in some way, shape, or form. Medical professionals are immune to this if they have met you while on duty, or are in the process of doing so. If a medical professional tells someone that you are not handicapped then this drawback stops actively working on them, unless you are the medical professional.
This drawback does not make you believe you are handicapped.
Orphaned
Your parents will die within a week of your reincarnation, and you will forget about this drawback until they have died.
Tinfoil Hat x3
If you take this once then no one will believe you if you tell them about any big conspiracies in their universe.
If you take this twice then no one will believe you if you tell them about the seed or anything to do with Zelretch.
If you take this three times then you have both of the above drawbacks.
Cult Worship
A cult worships you on the world you first arrive in, and any world you stay in for a significant amount of time. The cult believes in things that are strongly against your beliefs.
For Servants, their legends can change them. If you are a Servant or Pseudoservant, I'd be wary of taking this option.
May you Live in Interesting Times
You attract trouble. Even if you try to live a completely mundane life, a strong opponent will always find you and you'll never go without a challenging fight. This could be considered a Perk if you have a power that grows with use or that gets significantly more useful with increased skill, but it ensures you're never overpowered. If you're stronger than anyone in the setting, either you'll end up in another setting, or opponents from other settings will end up in whatever universe you're in.
Late to the Party
One good person, one neutral person, and one evil person will find themselves crossing your path an improbable amount with a seed, and therefore a build, of their choice.
They all have the same meta option as you, the same difficulty as you, the same mode as you, and cannot have any of the following options: May you live in Interesting Times, Late to the Party,
They have no powers that make it impossible or functionally impossible for you to defeat them. They were not informed that this option existed.
Moonlit World
Whatever world you entered, a small percent of the population have gained Magic Circuits, Magic Crests, and a couple of books on magecraft.
68.2% of these people will gain between 10 and 30 Magic Circuits.
68.2% of these people gain between D-Rank and B-Rank Magic Circuits
29.2% of these people will gain between 3 and 9 Magic Circuits or 31 and 93 Magic Circuits.
29.2% of these people will gain either E or A-Rank Magic Circuits.
The remainder of these will gain either 1-2 Magic Circuits or 94-100 Magic Circuits.
The remainder of these will gain either F-Rank Magic Circuits or a set of Blue Blood Noble Magic Circuits
Espers, Wizards, and Ninja
100% of the people in your starting world will gain Aura, and books on the basics of these powers appear in every local library and on the internet if such a thing exists.
Turncoat
Big Bads tend to try to get you onto their side unless they have a grudge against you. This won't effect Ultimate Ones.
Emotional Mess
Your emotions are stronger than that of others. When you're happy, you're elated, when you're sad, you're depressed, when you're angry, you're outraged.
Your emotions cannot be manipulated using magic, drugs, hypnotism, etc.
Devil's Attention x4
Any major enemy in worlds you travel to will have visions of you, revealing your alignment and powers you gained from the Seed (and any powers you had from before the Seed).
If you take this once: This will only happen in low power worlds.
If you take this twice: This will also happen in medium power worlds.
If you take this three times: This will also happen in high (but not extreme) power worlds.
If you take this four times: This will always happen.

Magecraft
Advanced Fundamentals of Magecraft II
These are advanced aspects of Magecraft, but still relevant to all fields of Magecraft. To develop your Magecraft to a level that would be found respectable by the nobles of the Clocktower without additional purchases from the Seed, you'll need this.
Structural Analysis Mastery
Allows the user to fully comprehend the internal structure, composition, and properties of objects or phenomena. This skill is pivotal for magecraft applications such as precise replication, enhancement, repair, and deconstruction, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and efficiency. It also enables advanced understanding of both physical and magical constructs, elevating a magus's ability significantly.
Reinforcement Mastery
It involves precise control of magical energy to fill structural gaps, improving an object's intended function (e.g., making a blade sharper or a body stronger). Mastery ensures efficient energy use, minimizes risks of overloading, and allows for complex enhancements, making it a versatile and powerful skill in the Nasuverse.
Alteration Mastery
The advanced magecraft ability to modify the properties or structure of objects or phenomena with precision. This mastery ensures efficient energy use, minimal risk of failure, and allows for complex transformations, whether physical or magical. It is a versatile tool that enhances utility and creativity in various applications, from combat to crafting.
Projection Mastery
The advanced ability to create temporary magical replicas of objects, particularly weapons, with exceptional precision and efficiency. Mastery ensures the user can replicate even complex items, including Noble Phantasms, while maintaining their functionality and durability. It minimizes mana consumption and allows for seamless integration of the projected items into combat or other scenarios.
Self-Hypnosis Mastery
The advanced ability to use self-hypnosis to enhance mental and physical capabilities. It allows for precise control over one's mind, enabling improved focus, emotional regulation, resistance to mental interference, and even physical optimization. Mastery ensures efficient use of this skill, making it a powerful tool for both combat and personal development.
Beginner Mental Protection Magecraft
Involves basic techniques to shield the mind from external influences such as hypnosis, mental interference, or manipulation. It typically includes foundational methods like self-hypnosis and basic bounded fields to create mental barriers. These skills are essential for magi to maintain focus and protect their thoughts during magecraft or combat scenarios.
Advanced Bounded Fields Knowledge
Involves mastery over creating, manipulating, and understanding magical barriers and territories.
Complex Construction: Designing intricate fields with layered effects, such as concealment, protection, or energy manipulation.
Specialized Applications: Tailoring fields for specific purposes, like trapping enemies, enhancing mana flow, or altering environmental conditions.

Noble Phantasm: UBW
I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my heart.
I have forged countless blades.
Unknown to despair, unshackled by regret.
With steady hands, I craft my legend.
So long as I wield my will, I shall shape destiny.
Thus, my path is clear—
Unlimited Blade Works.
Instead of displaying numerous broken or discarded swords as symbols of his arduous struggles, this version would showcase fully intact, gleaming weapons. The blades represent potential, not desperation—each one forged through his experiences, standing ready for battle.
The landscape would be less chaotic and ruin-like. Instead of barren wastelands, it would resemble an ancient forge or armory, structured but expansive, mirroring Shirou's mindset. Perhaps the distant horizon would feature banners, symbols of the heroism he chooses to pursue, rather than a world covered in rust.
In contrast to the suffocating, crimson-streaked sky of the original UBW, this iteration would have a brighter, golden-tinted or dusk-like atmosphere, reflecting the warmth of a hero who fights for others without carrying a destructive sense of obligation.
While the original Shirou's reality marble echoed his struggles to forge blades on the battlefield, this version would manifest weapons with greater efficiency and elegance. He doesn't need to forcibly push past limits; he understands his craft and can wield these weapons without hesitation.
His UBW would still maintain the legendary swords he's copied, but perhaps there would be one or two unique weapons of his own design—symbols of his individuality rather than a mere reflection of the weapons of past heroes.
Command Seals

True Magic
The Sixth True Magic: Symphonia Primordialis
The ability to fuse two distinct entities—concepts, physical objects, living beings, magical phenomena, or even abstract forces—into a unified form that enhances their combined capabilities beyond the sum of their parts. This fusion amplifies their inherent traits while also unlocking entirely new attributes born from their union.
Capabilities
Harmonic Amplification
When two entities are fused, their individual powers are not merely added together—they resonate with each other, exponentially amplifying their effectiveness. For example, fusing fire and water could result in steam-based energy with devastating destructive potential.
Creation of New Existences
Fusion generates unprecedented forms or phenomena.
Combining life and death could create an immortal, self-regenerating entity.
Fusing time and space could yield an object capable of teleportation across eras.
Conceptual Unity
Abstract concepts, such as "truth" and "illusion," can be fused to create paradoxical phenomena, such as illusions that become real.
Adaptive Reformation
Fused entities can dynamically adjust to threats or environments. For instance, combining a shield and a sword creates a hybrid that shifts between offense and defense seamlessly.
Partial Fusion
Mastery of this magic allows users to fuse selectively, incorporating only specific traits of one entity into another without full amalgamation.
Restrictions and Challenges
Instability
The greater the disparity between the fused entities, the more unstable the resulting fusion. Without mastery, chaotic or dangerous outcomes might occur.
Mana Consumption
This magic consumes a massive amount of mana due to its complexity, often requiring a connection to a high-power source like a magical core or leyline.
Compatibility
Fusion requires at least some degree of compatibility between the entities for success. Attempts at fusing radically opposing forces may result in catastrophic failure.
Applications
Combat
Fusing weapons to create new forms, combining allies' abilities into powerful team synergies, or merging with familiars to enhance combat capabilities.
Alchemy
Revolutionizing the creation of artifacts or magical constructs by fusing rare materials with unique properties.
Healing
Combining life energy and medicinal essence to produce instant, potent remedies for otherwise fatal injuries.
Exploration
Merging traits of different environments or entities to adapt to hostile conditions.
Items
Avalon
When used by Artoria Pendragon (or Arthur Pendragon), the Sheath can significantly increase the speed she heals, and can also be used as an Ultimate Shield, completely impenetrable by even the likes of True Magic.
If used by someone consistently closer to her, Avalon will give them a limited version of its regenerative abilities. If it's used by her Master then it will give them its full regenerative capabilities.
Avalon is completely unbreakable and acts similarly to Captain America's shield.
