Background

Abilities
 * Hybrid - Necromancy, Christianity/Voodoo, clothing, zombie powder

Quotes
 * “We rob graves, steal the stained clothing within, and wear them to become one with the dead so we can provide otherworldly answers from the mouths of the dead. That might sound like a cursed thing to do, but ours is the correct way to hear the words of a specific dead person.”[...]“As long as enough people come seeking our techniques, our field will never die out.”[...]“Eternal life will bring only loneliness. It is much more comforting to contact the dead and speak with the deceased. Twisted as it might seem, that’s just how humans are.”(2-9)

 * Apas of Prithvi (Water of Earth, Silver Crescent Moon in Yellow Square):
 * Tejas of Vayu (Fire of Air):
 * Tejas of Prithvi (Fire of Earth, Red Equilateral Triangle in Yellow Square):
 * The Tattva combinations provide a technique for seeing and learning various things, with some capable of identifying and highlighting traces of residual information in a person's surroundings.  Although this form of meditation is normally done using cards, the symbols can be used without them. While it is a simple method, one must not take it lightly or lose sight of their objective when using it. One warning given by Mathers himself, is that pressing a card to one's forehead in a misguided attempt to strength the image in the head will trigger a malfunction in the mind - this can be exploited by applying it to someone else to force them into a temporary state of confusion or hallucination.

Barcelonan and Barcelonian both in dictionary, latter has red underlining:
 * Golden swords (黄金の剣) - Unnamed Priest
 * Personality
 * Front (of good priest), fear (motivation rather than well-being of others)
 * Background


 * Chronology
 * Pt8
 * Abilities
 * The priest's weapons, intended to defend himself from curses and foes, are countless swords made of gold. A valued metal which does not rust and retains its shine, gold is often used to repel impure curses. The sword is an angel's weapon and a symbol of separation, in religion, mythology and other lore.
 * The swords are fused to the priest's body under his habit and attached to his skeleton, with idea of becoming one with them to take on their traits as an extreme form of defense against curses. When revealed, they fan out behind him like golden wings. The priest tends to shoot them as projectiles.
 * However, as Agnese pointed out in her confrontation with the priest, while pure gold is used as a symbol of incorruptible, it often becomes a source of resentment and jealousy and as such, is also a popular choice for gathering curses, its meaning drastically changing depending on the interpretation used.
 * Golden swords

Spain:
 * Lost naval aspect
 * Roman Catholic country (Pt3/6) but also crossroads for several different cultures including Haitian Voodoo (Pt1)
 * Cuisine, culture, siesta

Churches:
 * Personal information, baptismal register/info on locals (Pt6)

Concealing Spell:(Pt6)
 * Lot of spells to hide presence, sneak into places, or transform into opposite gender(AgneseSSCh1Pt6-SD38?)
 * Spell not need Lotus Wand, constructed by taking Christian ritual of death and rebirth, rearrange based on story of goddess in different mythology, GD researched how to gain mythology/religion's power using stage performance - part of "getting into character" for performance is dressing up as a god.
 * Chant: “While supported by the holy tetragrammaton of YHVH, we don the clothing of Isis, goddess of the lunar hexagram, so we might be resurrected from death and ascend here as new beings altogether.”
 * Change, not seen from inside of spell, not disguising as specific person, turn selves into "nobodies", not stand out in crowd, no one remember what look like after taking few steps away, not perfect, if someone sees six times (hexagram?) - see through to true face, no doing suspicious or pacing back/forth on same road, keep walking towards goal

Egyptian Mythology:
 * Isis - lunar hexagram (one link to lunar hexagram, or one to lunar (moon or astrology) and hexagram (magic circle - common symbols? shapes/geometry?))

Voodoo:
 * Deities
 * Zombie Powder
 * Sacrificial ritual
 * Curses
 * Ti Bon Ange

Necromancy:
 * Word brings to mind techniques to control corpses
 * Field actually divided into many factions and schools
 * Examples:
 * Summon dead spirit to predict future
 * Living wearing clothes of the dead to become one with them and draw on their power
 * Technique of controlling humans - living and dead
 * Some necromancers take summoned soul/something seeming like one and seal in own body
 * Need to understand how living body works
 * With knowledge can experiment on how much can be eliminated from human body while still remaining themselves.

Residual Information:
 * Forensic cleaning
 * Residual thoughts
 * Noise/erosion
 * The Tattva combinations provide a technique for seeing and learning various things, with some capable of identifying and highlighting traces of residual information in a person's surroundings.

Everyday magic:
 * Almost anything in everyday life can be used for magic (AgneseSSCh1Pt3, ?)

Curses/Purification:
 * "...things used for cleaning and sterilization could be used for purification and things that led to pollution and decay could be used for curses. Good examples of the former were water, salt, and fire. Good examples of the latter were mud and animal blood." (Part 3)
 * Although pure gold is often used as a symbol of the incorruptible, it is also a popular choice for gathering curses, with its rarity capable of leading people away and becoming a source of jealousy and resentment. Mythological examples include the ring Andvaranaut in Norse Mythology and the in Greek Mythology.

Five Suspects
Harris Nicholagene: (Sulfur)
 * Pt3
 * Pt6
 * Personality
 * Harris has expressed a preference for mandrakes with a feminine appearance, but objects to being called a pervert because of this, insisting on alternative reasons in response. (2-3,5,6)
 * Insistence
 * Background
 * Starting with summoning, he intended to move on to growing mandrakes in a sealed glass greenhouse and remaking the environment they were growing in to see the effects.
 * Abilities
 * Researching environmental maintenance, fill field with strange things, strange things happen more easily, don't intend to remake natural environmental immediately, start by summoning then plan to move on to growing in sealed glass greenhouse

Pierre Gosetti:(Pt6)
 * Mention the catacombs
 * Personality
 * 5=6 in recruiting division, sure bragging about being from niche of niche community (Agnese thought)
 * Pierre appears to be proud of his position, emphasizing and repeating it when naming himself in his interrogation.
 * Preference towards mental temple - want to hide, avoid actions raising eyebrows, not smart to head into crypt every night
 * He prefers the use of a mental temple as a ceremonial ground over a physical location, knowing that one should avoid conspicuous actions when they wish to remain hidden (such as going into a crypt every night to conduct suspicious rituals). In his ceremonial actions, he has mentioned wanting to bolster his mental side to make sure his thoughts were not dragged down by the materialism of the current metal-driven age.
 * Want to bolster mental side to make sure thoughts not dragged down by materialism of metal-driven age
 * Charm preparation - need to clear hurdle. Cares about wife's safe birth to want one, silence - nothing wrong,
 * Pierre cares about his wife having a safe birth, enough to forgo his usual preference and want a physical talisman to aid it.
 * Background
 * Abilities
 * Unsorted
 * 5=6 (GD rank with these numbers: Adeptus Minor, First of the Second Order), B∴A∴, recruiting division, sure bragging about being from niche of niche community - no time for this
 * Only using summoning ceremony to create talisman from Taphthartharath (Mercury/quicksilver), want to bolster mental side to make sure thoughts not dragged down by materialism of metal-driven age
 * Using protective charm for own purposes, going about in right way
 * Talismans activated with command and amulets with constant effect, all such protective charms are spiritual items that have to be filled with a form of energy. Like charm for good business/grades, not prepare unless need for one to clear hurdle.
 * Cabal messed up succession process after previous boss died. Passcode lost, can't enter ceremonial ground
 * Original crypt mental thing? Think smart to head down to catacombs beneath Paris to perform suspicious rituals every night? Want to hide, avoid actions raise eyebrows, don't want to construct physical building as ceremonial ground at all. One way of thinking
 * Every single member of cabal mentally picture identical building, can acquire sense of community as if all gathering in same place, reaching point easier said than done, use something as jumping off point for imagination like create identical ice crystals by preparing impurities identical on microscopic level, passcode, random number distributed to all members at set intervals to share, sequence come to end when leader die
 * Prefer to use mental temple, share location with outsiders introduce risk of direct attack, need to create talisman. Talisman for safe birth, wife approaching due date, physical protective charm.

Rini Calculed:
 * Personality
 * Background
 * Abilities
 * Unsorted
 * Wearing pajamas, around same age as Agneses, wearing see-through negligee
 * Researching nightmares (insist on term/correction, sound like another magician with annoying obsession)
 * Look at astral projection, instead of journey to 'other side', interested on marks left on body afterwards (Dion Fortune)(laugh)
 * Want to perform ceremony where summon self elsewhere, extract soul or core of mind from body, best way of accomplishing, leave home and cut self off from outside world, want tension of unfamiliar environment, slight spice of something little bit illegal? yes, more ghost sightings at hotels/hospitals/campgrounds as unfamiliar environment make people sleep less deeply, make easier to experience hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations, booster for helping mind reach higher level
 * Not uncommon for people to think will find special knowledge elsewhere (things/places/people) - Necromancy is example, field develop from crude logic that dead can answer questions as not constrained by rules of life, same person after death and humans can lie but believers in "great beyond" think death makes smarter/honest
 * Son of God made whole when ascend into heaven, focus on just fact and twist intended meaning, can conclude people level up on death, at least in Europe - necromancy not religious thing - more like fad.
 * Extract mind and travel to another world, polar opposite of necromancy. Living encroaching on another territory to feast on otherwordly wisdom found there - assumed collection of knowledge wanted did exist - world not created for humans, wrong to assume things set up for human use.
 * God expel Adam/Eve into outside world for sin, life meant as punishment, best to assume most of world created by god made unpleasant for humans, realm beyond physical even less pleasant, not a line to cross before last judgment. (Agnese thought in narration?)
 * Don't care about that part, interested in body left behind, marks of unknown original that appear on it during journey, Dion Fortune - scratches across back after dream world catfight
 * Why interested, self-harm? Scratches amazing if can control them, placebo effect to take care of inoperable brain tumors and aortic aneurysms, intentionally mess with alchemical principle of salt to see what wounds left on her

Plum Mordosié:
 * Personality
 * Considers self brilliant
 * Background
 * Abilities
 * Unsorted
 * Wanted to kill someone, bloody mourning dress, sticky look in eyes
 * Rental ceremonial ground likened to internet cafe, like wanting to send death threat from someowhere other than home machine, feel attempt fairly naïve
 * Engraved magic name in heart, someone grown "twisted" after face to face with unfair part of reality, only rely on god in time of need, similarly only rely on occult when enough reason to do so
 * Who kill - secret, why want to kill (no set punishment for saying why, who would count as confessing)(people wanting to personally punish often believe strongly in own righteousness) - revenge (Agnese feel certain not come to fruition)
 * Planning everything when attacking more powerful than self. Letting Agnese affect attitude, unlikely have much of plan, like chess player mad at bishop taken and insisting on take foe's queen and forget aim is to take king no matter how many other pieces taken, giving advice would allow revenge to succeed.
 * Take revenge through summoning, think no one can follow logic, no need to put blade in heart self,, disturb balance and target destroy himself, extract physical form through three alchemical principles (tria prima) - salt (body or base matter), sulfur (soul) and mercury (mind)), summon pillar supporting target - lose internal balance and at mercy of power attempting to wield, 'holier-than-thou asshole'
 * Consider brilliant, scare self with own brilliance (thinks highly of self)

Rouen Nalberia:
 * Personality
 * Rouen was initially deviant and confident when faced with interrogation, proclaiming that a magicians only reveals the success of their research by showing off the results and that he'd show what it meant to be a true magician, though he soon vomited at Isabella Theism's words on the skin used to make his bindings.
 * He is also adamant that his goal, being able to obtain pure compositional elements from food, would enhance possibilities for all humans, and insistent that there must be a way to extract the results without losing them before consumption.
 * Background
 * Abilities:
 * Rouen's exact capabilities are not known, though his field of research is known to be food, with the aim of finding a method of cooking that directly extracts compositional elements.
 * When hearing about his goal of directly extracting elements from food, Agnese understood his logic but imagined that studying it would only lead to ancient Chinese alchemy, hoping that he wouldn't try drinking mercury for eternal life - a possible reference to, the First Emperor of China, who sought immortality and ingested mercury in pursuit of it.
 * Rouen managed to demonstrate the heating and cooling of elements within the enclosed space of a glass container, though he was not able to extract the volatilized element without it vanishing on contact with the outside world, able to cook but not consume (a case which Rouen compared to the elixir of life created by of the Golden Dawn).
 * He planned to use summoning to resolve the problem, with the magic circle surrounding the summoned object being used to maintain the product long enough for it to be consumed, with the cooking being done in the circle and the extract being eaten while the time until its natural destruction is extended. However, this involved another problem which Rouen had not resolved at the time of the Hood incident - in summoning, the summoning and protective circles are generally separate, with the idea to keep the summoned and the summoner in separate fields to prevent the summoned force from harming the summoner.
 * Unsorted
 * Large muscular black man, look like could solve most daily troubles faster with fists than spells
 * Vomited
 * Studying food, find method of cooking that directly extracts compositional elements - enhance possibilities for all humans
 * Agnese: Understood logic but imagine studying only lead to ancient Chinese alchemy (hope not drink mercury for eternal life - QSH?)
 * Demonstrate heating/cooling of elements within enclosed space of glass container, can't extract result - vanishes the instant contacts outside, cooking can be done, can't consume, like elixir of life GD's Ayton created, want way to keep volatilized element in place, using summoning, should be possible - using circle surrounding summoned object, cook in circle and eat while extend time until natural destruction
 * Summoning circle/protective circle generally separate, some just use one and have either human/angel be inside circle, basic idea to keep summoned and summoner in separate fields or summoned bare fangs against summoner, proposition sounds like zoo visitors in cage with lions, not solved problem
 * Rent ceremonial ground to perform experiment, if answer - wouldn't need to keep coming back for more
 * Magic circle s tend to get more complex as time passes, Mathers create English translation of (claimed to be) magic circle of King Solomon, even that has four smaller circles for incense as well as main circle
 * Insist has to be a way, ingredient to enhance humanity there, not allowed to consume, define predator/prey - can enter cage without worry of being consumed?

Culprit and Ceremony
Jack Prometeria?
 * Magical equivalent of drug factory containers in criminal world. Accurate name of what to summon, calculate necessary numbers/colors/circles/directions/date/etc using many sliders lined up on wall. Boxy space look like planetarium and many lines displayed in dark show where to paint to draw out intricate magic circles on floor/walls/ceiling, become any temple, prepare optimal environment for what want to summon.(2-3)

Tracing summoning (Summoning/Summoner/Summon link?):
 * Containers collapse with first shot, most but ghost ship not vanish, uncollapsed one, grip silver staff and spin on spot
 * Not anyone perform summoning at any time/place, need precisely set up with appropriate direction/time/location for summoning target, magic circle for summoning complex/intricate because essentially writing out a lengthy address to ensure summon target.
 * Iron=Mars, Lead=Saturn, Gunpowder=Sulfuric acid=Sulfur=earth, Ship (quicksilver)=Salt=Ether
 * Apply current latitude/longitude/date to four symbols, check positions of planets
 * Flow of energy most likely to interfere with planet movements, path entering from south and leaving to west-northwest
 * Like using hands of analogue clock and sun's position to determine direction

Five Suspects, Actions/Aspects:
 * Pierre Gosetti: Creating protective talisman from Taphthartharath (planet Mercury)
 * Rini Calculed: Investigating post-astral projection marks, salt
 * Plum Mordosié: Attempted murder by destabilizing target by removing support through three principles (salt/sulfur/mercury)
 * Harris Nicholagene: Summoning mandrakes, sulfur?
 * Rouen Nalberia: Elements from food

Jack Prometeria: (Sections to be done: Personality, Chronology, Abilities tweaks)
 * Personality
 * Chronology
 * Pt4 (Approached after breaking into container, confirmed five magicians and destruction won't stop): ?
 * Pt8 (Lighthouse, met by Agnese, revealed motivations, learned that ship would never reach): As the Hood was approaching Calais, Jack went to the harbour's lighthouse for its arrival, only to find Agnese waiting for him, having deduced his involvement. He explained his motivations, how his father had served on Hood, how Crowley's symbols had ended up in the ship designs, and how he wished to purify and experience the ship for himself in the remaining time he had left to live. However, he was dismayed to find that the ghost ship would never reach land, due to a flaw from his overcomplication of the summoning ceremony.
 * Pt9: Agnese decided that shock of learning he could never experience the Hood for himself was punishment enough, knowing he did not have enough time left to make a new plan.
 * Abilities
 * Summoning Ceremony (Opening, Hood's qualities, Actions, Summoning Traits (autonomous, functions), Concealment/Combination, Flaws)
 * Other (residual trace)
 * In order to fulfill his wish of purifying and experiencing the ship before his death, Jack devised a complicated summoning ceremony to call forth HMS Hood as a ghost ship.
 * After summoning, the ship would proceed to Calais.
 * Once summoned on...
 * When tracing the summoning site and predicting the composition of the magic circle, Agnese deduced that it included the symbols of iron (Mars), lead (Saturn) and sulfur (from gunpowder and sulfuric acid, and indicating earth) with the ship being salt (ether). The flow of energy followed a path entering from the south and leaving to the west-northwest. The individual summoning spells carried out by the unwitting summoners which were making up the ceremony, each providing a symbol, included:
 * Pierre Gosetti: The creation of a protective talisman using Taphthartharath, the Planetary Spirit of Mercury.
 * Rini Calculed: An attempt at inducing astral projection to investigate marks left on the body, involving the alchemical principle of salt.
 * Plum Mordosié: A murder attempt, aiming to extract the target's physical body through three principles (salt, sulfur and mercury) to destabilize them and lead to their own power destroying them.
 * Harris Nicholagene: The creation of mandrakes and attempts to give them a feminine appearance, with claims involving the alchemical principles of sulfur.
 * Rouen Nalberia: Experiments to develop a method of cooking to extract elements from food.

Aleister Crowley/:
 * Five people sharing container attack/abducted but not even know Hood summoned. Calais entranceway linked France and England across 40km Strait of Dover. Fair number of British magicians end up there.
 * Each of five rented out ceremonial ground cover piece of puzzle. Iron, lead, sulfur, salt. Each cover one symbol, none of individual spells look enough to summon Hood. Combined them all - see something else. Like placing multiple panels on top of each other, create a colorful piece of woodblock art. None set up - has to be landlord who views from step removed, master key necessary to manage rented space. All five summoner, none aware, oblivious to position as gear in larger machine. Ignorant. If shoved on small boat, run out of time, not go away.
 * Predicted outbreak of WW1, Hood constructed based on lessons learned during war
 * Ships contains his 'genes', ruinous element of magician who insist entire world must be stained with blood before great ceremony can begin, without it - Hood might be victorious in northern Atlantic (Jack's thought)
 * Name taboo, everyone on magic side benefit from actions, sins too great to earn praise
 * Summon ship, examples but not convincing, summon purely mechanical object with magic circle instead of usual angels, demons or magical elements. If symbolism of Crowley unwittingly included - likely possible. Entirely different level from Charon's ferry or Treasure Ship talismans. Intentional/not, if worked into basic design of ship, could conceivably gain ability to travel to/from some other realm, possible to summon via occult means, though sounding absurd.
 * Summoned in same way as angel/demon, convert from simple physical object to mass of energy - maybe when ship pass to another phase or done by inheriting something from Crowley, must have happened. Rusted hulk at sea floor only small sliver of true power. Exceedingly rare for summonable object to appear naturally - like odds of seeing moment angel descended from heaven. Doubt plan put together on short notice, result of badly wanting to find sunken ship in past?
 * Once thing summoned, generally remain until corresponding exorcism ceremony performed. Requires massive amount of energy to remain in existence in autonomous state.
 * Treasure Ship. Crowley like to travel, visited Japan by ship. Arrangement of symbols transform ship itself into talisman. Instead of having great power to begin with, may gain invincibility similar to original grimoire's. Hood start to lose restriction of numbers, enough that could be used to mass-produce Gabriel talismans one can carry
 * Don't know if inserted will into WW2, but even if coincidence Hood ends up with piece in it, couldn't leave it like that
 * Jack's father decent magician, not mean much. Witches dance in midwinter forests until freeze to death in attempt to delay Third Reich's invasion.
 * Images work into mind, feel like actually experience, can't allow anything to stain reputation of ship father proudly served on - take action on nothing more.
 * Not afraid, moment would come eventually, prefer to spend last moments working to help Hood or die along with it, want to experience - feel like reaching out and touching, phantom not that powerful
 * Destructive landing not happen, massive form on horizon, less than 5km away, max speed of 31 knots - right on top of them yet never seem to arrive at harbor, like mirage oasis moving further away more one pursues it.
 * Largest driving force for summon is probably desire in summoner's heart. Strongly picture target and gather willpower using magic circle and incantation necessary to give physical form. Spell lacking since actual summoners oblivious to Hood's existence. Created spell bound to be full of interfering thoughts. Can create face from montage of different ones but won't be anyone existing. Don't exist, won't find even if put on wanted poster.
 * Overly complicate process out of fear of being caught. Secret base, drag in five others to ensure ceremony continue even if location discovered. Failed. If performed on own, would have arrived and got what wanted. Prepared for every eventuality, excessive planning means not work. Summoning fail from beginning. Shimmering appearance prove, never arrive, wandering ghost ship disappear on own before long.
 * Not do it after all, only hear stories, generation had it easy, presumptuous to think could purify.(Pt8)
 * Current era built on former, obsession with past even if those who actually lived there gone. Necromancer job to fulfil that kind of desire/regrets - summon father or Hood crew, loss due to Crowley curse dragging down or lack of strength.
 * Disappear without trace, scars of destruction all that remains. Shock of learning never experience punishment enough. No time left to put together new plan.(Pt9)

Unsorted Notes: Strategy meeting in dark parking lot, unseen magician using ordinary delivery app to gather needed materials - human bodies, boys/girls pedal over unaware that they are true product being ordered and deliver selves to execution ground, enter abandoned building, think suspicious, killed there and then, magicians vanishes along with product, all remains is pool of blood and bike, who responsible for cultish/inefficient ceremony, after bones or organs?
 * Pt1: Frankfurt, mobile home, Procurer
 * Pt2: Bodies in magic, bike delivery system/dulling, Lucia - dirty mind, loophole, church data, Europe apartment/offices, Tokyo/New York, RCC, real estate<!--

Simple tasks dull inquisitiveness, pedeal bike loaded with package wear out, delivery after delivery over day, thoughts dull and stop questioning info on phone, cog in machine - fateful order arrive, map not wrong, protected by system everyone used so fine, assumptions prevent actual thinking, not hesitate to walk into abandoned building, international corp supply map not send out guards to protect users, had been working just that sort of job - hesitant to ask further but want to know what all knew at moment

Different abandoned building each time, yes - phone used to order and building set as destination all stolen, check through electronic order data not enough to id magician, only lead to Dietrich or Wilhelm whose name used for order

Lucia - dirty mind, excess of bleeding not slow, how ordinary world viewing - teenagers work delivery job tend to gather money to run away from home, suspicions buried in ocean of statistical data - clever way of abusing system or modern people not care about strangers anymore?

Ordinary users just have address displayed, no way of knowing who live or if location occupied, map overhead not tell what kind of building - why past users fall for it, if link app to database display ownership of address, trap easy to detect, only have to work out which job to abandoned building, using church data, unlike Tokyo/New York, Europe use lot of apartments/offices built hundreds of years, even if area modernized, church intervene in name of preserving scenery, church has strong connection to real estate business, if people live somewhere - eventually die there - intermediary company not want property to lose value - make sure to call in church to exorcise place, give RCC ton of city information can use to proselytize, not let anyone else use data, convenience stores on opp sides of same intersections sometimes receive very different levels of business, same way - churches always check data to see where to build churches and where to distribute pamphlets on streets to proselytize most efficiently, view list of data start with old maps and continue updated until even latest smart building

Voodoo
Principles:
 * Assimilation (tweak misconception paragraph)
 * Deities (Loa/Mystere)
 * Curses and Drugs (Ba Moun, Doll)

Voodoo is described as not actually having fixed teachings or spells, being a culture that draws in other cultures, borrowing gods and ceremonies from other mythologies and religions, and adding to them while making them its own to continually expand. Isabella Theism, a necromancer who uses a mix of Voodoo and Christianity, has highlighted the affinity and called Voodoo a greedy religion that takes in every last miracle it comes across.

Voodoo is known for having many curses. The Ceremony of Ba Moun is considered the worst and most wicked spell in Voodoo and its most horrific curse, where a magician makes a contract with a demon which will grant them their every wish in exchange for the magician annually sacrificing someone they care for, being devoured by the demon if they fail to carry out the sacrifice.
 * Voodoo Doll - actually common idea of unknown root that has spread and is also found elsewhere

As well as curses, Voodoo has a variety of drugs and concoctions, (Other Ref?) from wound-healing paste mixed from different vegetables and meat, to a deadly poison created from a single lime growing on a tree. One of the most notable is zombie powder, which is used in the creation of  - one of the most well-known specialities associated with Voodoo. Rather than making corpses rise from the dead,   as is often thought of with zombies,  chemicals are used to intentionally harm the body and remove the Ti Bon Ange from the five components of the soul, putting a person into a state of pseudo-death, robbing them of their mind and remaking them into a living unit which can be controlled.
 * Haitian origins/punishment

Examples:
 * Ceremony of Ba Moun
 * Loko Atisou: A loa associated with healers and plants
 * Baron Samedi: Head of the Ghede loa, associated with the dead. Dressed in a top hat and black tail coat, he is often depicted with the appearance of a skeleton. Found at the crossroads between life and death, he digs the graves of the deceased, greets their souls and leads them to the underworld.
 * Brave Ghede
 * Loa
 * Lime poison, knife
 * Zombie powder

 * Voodoo speciality - zombie not making old corpses rise from dead, use chemicals to intentionally harm body to remove Ti Bon Ange from the five components of soul, spell used to rob person of mind and remake into living unit can control, Ceremony of BM uses demon as amplifier to forcibly shift things up a level, from micro to macro, intentionally make physical world ill to control the diseased area

 * Medicine bottle, drugs not just for zombies/assassination, priest's job to listen to people of city/country rule over and solve problems, zombies just extreme version, making example of someone or provide ultimate punishment only way to preserve peace at times

 * Zombie powder, drug put people in state of pseudo-death to control

 * Medicine/Poison seen as same, master of mythology -gods/demons as same basic thing?
 * Affinity, greedy religion

Ceremony of Ba Moun
The Ceremony of Ba Moun (バ・ムーンの儀式) is a Voodoo ceremony which involves a contract with a demon. Described as the worst and most wicked spell in Voodoo, the demon grants the caster's wishes, but in return they must annually sacrifice someone they care for, otherwise they will be devoured by the demon.

Principles

Draft:
 * Opening
 * Outline
 * Specifics
 * Spell
 * Demon


 * Pt5
 * Suspect might die if look, sharp end
 * Sound like baby - more malevolent, more than hackneyed monster like giant spider
 * Cannot let self know - thinking name in mind would steal soul. as far from human warmth as anything could, cry like baby seem like serial killer trying/failing to pretend to be harmless neighbor
 * Understanding not reveal path to survival - close off fate and guide to doom faster, no thinking way out
 * Pt7
 * Isabella not have countermeasure against Voodoo demon, not matter if master Voodoo, spell someone created but can't control
 * Rocket - moon/bust, situation pressing such that need wish granted ASAP, meteor/sick daughter, not wait a day longer, way of feeling satisfied with even halfway decent result, not rely on poorly-defined demon if situation not pressing, pressing situation - unable to examine if worth price, fail once - lose everything, not in a position to properly consider risks when make decision, only learn price paid after act - too late
 * 'Grant heart's desire' - vague, not much when look into it
 * Medicine/Poison seen as same, master of mythology -gods/demons as same basic thing?
 * Affinity, greedy religion

Unprocessed Notes: <!--Metal container hideout, food, notice cases - scale feel unnaturally large, doubts each could pull off by single individual, personal reason/objective but feels too large, 8-bit password, nuclear missile to attack convenience store, too much power for case, what happen if not solve - clean freak lose control - execute innocents, war, curse sacrifices, overblown - how magicians are - choose self over world, encounter cruel side of life - overturn for personal reasons, Apostle Peter - refuse magicians flight, nuns technically not magicians, mystic powers not make magician, not have magic name, not belong to magic cabal, no more than nuns who follow Christianity and view magic as tricks/vulnerabilities taking advantage of Christianity's teachings, not fully understand what real magician truly is, if told simply how they were - only accept, something else feels off since can wield "small subset of miracles" as nuns, each of cases work of single individual - someone else gave opportunity, cash in front person who wants revenge or gun in front of person who wants to rob bank, unaware how dangerous thing found was, grant wishes/lend miracles to weak - might sound divine but not about to praise Person X
 * Pt1: Metal container hideout, 8-bit passwords (CR?), scale feels unnatural, nuns viewpoint/magicians, Apostle Peter, information brokers/hitmen, Switzerland, Swiss banks, tax havens (Monaco, the Cayman Islands, the Cook Islands, sketchy online banks, and virtual currencies), failed Index prototypes, Anglican/Catholics

If give three what need, horrific picture of downright malice, cash to one who want to rob bank - no crime in first place, might look sympathetic/cooperating, all done is find embers and pour oil on to trigger explosions, worse than actual criminals, if free - more large-scale cases occur, change vague suspicions into solid evidence, paper fan, no one say anything about help, interrogation/torture tech - unlikely keep secret, guided but never knew, follow trail laid out without noticing

Need more info, not have to gather up themselves, don't have to give up just because dead end, use all even if buy, information broker, rarer than pro hitman?, depends on what kind

Newspaper reporters, freelance tabloid writers - most above-board version of job where earn money by gathering info, also form of journalism using threat of publishing scandalous info to blackmail - separate

No country/large organization not have own intelligence agency or department. Search engines, online stores, social media, video sites, most any IT company - doing all can to gather personal info from users. Any corp exec with penchant for breaking taboos by dabbling in insider trading - on lookout for talk of merger/buyout of related companies

Criminal organizations also need info - for "business concerns" (e.g. scams, abductions, loan sharking), defence (against traitors/criminal investigations) - can use as much info as can get as long as no spec or bias mixed in

Normally people who use info want to keep to selves, if one in criminal org share info with other gang or police - viewed as traitors, unusual to find info broker who gather info from round world and sell to anyone for same price like store, talking about relying on info broker belong to specific org/world power - one side with UK, gather/reveal only for UK

Zurich, capital of Swiss canton of Zurich, Switzerland best known for bank No single unified language - each of 26 cantons use preferred language, some parts use German (e.g. Zurich), others French. Recognized as permanently neutral country, unlike self-proclaimed pacifists, actual treaties say abandon right to go to war, exchange = rest of world help eliminate threat if ever invaded - useful as place to arbitrate conflict between other countries, Geneva Third most well-known aspect in entertainment - secret banks (high bias), Cayman Islands, spotlight last thing want when hide money, Swiss brand - steady/unchangde, no unnecessary interest/investment, wealthy safe/indefinite protect assets prefer here

Anglican vault, more accurate - British documents gathered by Swiss - probably see valuable opportunity to obtain objective outsider view of selves, no single national religions, dominant culture differs, some side with Catholics and others against, useful frontline base for Anglicans

Comics/movies talk of Swiss banks - not single large group, national banking system allow people to open accounts with just name and PIN, bankers traditionally tightlipped, term generally refer to all of many banks in country, choose whatever - some hostile/some friendly - use friendly one, safe deposit box for art/antiques instead store dangerous documents/items - grimoires, old maps, cursed charms, star charts, spiritual items

Some curses/grudges only activate once arrive in UK, things don't want returned like adipocered head or exported UK-made execution tools, coat made from hide of 1000 rats during plague

When can't let other countries have but can't store in UK, goes there Large marble building, like white cathedral, former church bought and converted into bank, curse capitalists, reusing old buildings, fall into ruin otherwise

Bank president, courteous old man, black morning coat, nice enough to attend an evening party, clockwork doll, President Helm Himmel, fake name like Suzuki Saburou, already know but ask, Religious Organization Account #3X5-8X1-9X2-0X1-7X4, safe deposit box, key, have access unrecorded 'by mistakes', box generally two keyholes, customer one key, bank other, use two keys together, ensure neither open on own, measure make harder for customer to use box for illegal purposes (e.g. stalker hide collection, multiple people share key for delivery of dangerous herbs), prevent people at bank swiping gold bar from box, president let pearl key slip from hand, feign/secret safe, say entirely ignorant of possible criminal activity carried out with their box, walk behind general counter, ordinary person - if see stored, shock destroy mind

Boxes many forms - common - rows of metal drawers with number/keyholes size of study desk drawer, documents like wills/land deeds, larger ones for jewel/gold bars, large as school janitor closet, art/antiques - 3m cubes like air cargo containers, actual storage space perhaps smaller than look - equipment to regulate temp/humidity

Deep in bank, down corridor with metal bars, open one of silver vaults, doors - steep staircase, basement floor, not included on building plans, thick round door like bank vault, usual system - count to 3

remote-control robot probes, machine can perform task simple as turning key, all about aesthetics, Monaco/Cayman Islands/Cook Islands/sketchy online banks/virtual currencies, plenty of tax havens offer secret banks, rich continue to choose Switzerland as value tradition/stability, not look for risky/imperfect new services, already make more money than can ever spend.

Inside beyond door, metal bars, passageways, stairs, atrium neatly lined with many metal drawers, Anglican Church's remote database, 28000 in all, failed Index prototypes scattered around world -->
 * Pt2: Yucatan Peninsula, Maya, Cuban Missile Crisis, Chupacabra, believers saved, Son of God, compatibility, Christianity rejecting miracles/mystic from other gods, St. Vitus/Sebastian, Slavic Svantovit, Celtic Cuchulain, Christianity supposedly monotheistic but assimilating older gods/legendary figures under changed name, St. Ursula (die with 11,000 virgins -number misreading), St. Christopher (fictional creation)

<!-- Two hours fruitless search, pull out phones and record, squeeze cheeks in anger at wasted effort, grimoires hard to read - in Italian/Spanish/French etc - cipher on top of base language, told Angelene to learn Latin, Angelene not often straighten back and look down, end as how said would - have to start with foundation of fact to reach truth, no magical system in common, dead end, see hints of Person X, certain someone out there, no solid clues/not gather enough evidence to do anything, like watch politician hold apology press conference where insist over all misunderstanding and not do illegal, find nothing at all more suspicious = no way to use in investigation, not know what to search - treasure trove of info can't be used
 * Pt3: Grimoires (non-original), languages, cipher, Swiss/other cuisine, transactions, covering tracks, face-related magic, Gerolamo Cardano, metoposcopy, Johannes de Indagine, physiognomy

Go out to eat, Swiss food, bias view - cheese fondue/mineral water, instant coffee/freeze-dried food, ready-made, canned, frozen foods, curry rouz, white stews, instant soups etc, home to world's largest instant food company, museum/souvenir shop?,, city of banks/insurance - expect to see lot of business out at midday, see surprising number in religious habits/Anglican, Switzerland - country of banks, most transactions over phone/internet, people visiting directly - ones with treasures physically stored in safe-deposit boxes, block of Zurich - Anglicans, like company town where city finanicially ruled by single company - pros/cons - when know people of affiliation in specific restaurant - not hard for third party to eavesdrop while pretend to be customer, everyone travel here for research while working outside UK like them? - supposed to be equal, bottom - short end of stick

Restaurant glimpse - most serve thick bacon/potatoes, look German at first glance, not all Switzerland like this, no single official language/religion, each canton chose German, French etc to use

Angelene look of child saw curry rice for dinner for third day in row, only just finish fight in Frankfurt, wish for Italian speaking area - be careful what wish for, Italian food there not seem quite right, homeland - more particular about Italian cooking (Japanese particular about dashi, French sauces, Indian seasonings), Agnese group demanding when comes to pasta - simpe disagreement could lead to endless war,

German-smelling pizza patatine, fries on pizza, actually Italian dish - what Italian food mean change lot in different regions of Italy, unusual to serve carbs on carbs where either main dish, Japanese example, Canadian poutine

Notice odd, latte, customer at other table order item can be ordered anywhere, unusual for thick espresso/warm milk carry over in separate containers, behavior - Italian, not find in etiquette book, more like stubborn life hack common folk invent - only one who know what doing know

Don't turn round, recognize person, acted as guide few times in Catholic days, Sister Monica, tension, look up and eye contact, stand up quickly and spin round, shove aside waiter near entrance and run outside, run across by chance, run away instant - up to something, Zurich block - lot of Anglicans, eavesdropping, spy, warned in advance not let notice, spying on Agnese, connected, Catholics behind

Fleeing girl in nun's habit, small alleyway between two banks, blood splattered across ground/walls to point higher than heads, sinister atmosphere, object at center of pool, larger than hand palm, skin of human face with holes for eyes, nose and mouth, 'face' left - someone pretending

Magic relating to faces - 16th century Gerolamo Cardano proposed metoposcopy determining one’s destiny based on lines in forehead, similarly - Johannes de Indagine and other magicians develop physiognomy, determine inner character by looking at nose, mouth and facial features, if methods developed - also develop methods of preventing third party from analyzing face or alter face to give destiny/personality, real skin not imitation, possibility someone living with another's skin to hide identity, if seen enough to do - must take seriously, remove borrowed face more effort than removing mask - blood

Report to higher ups, discussion/exchange between Anglicans/Catholics, find out if real Monica safe, if stolen face, might have stolen documents, really what happen, first to talk about borrowed face - nearly fail to view objectively and oversight, came to find point in common - familiar - evidence of something destroying evidence and covering tracks - tell them third party doing harm - like unnatural traces of forensic cleanup, method similar - chance looking at group reuse same tricks, keep in mind possibility real Monica tore own face and leave to escape suspicion that Person X, reward of fries, method allow escape suspicion, tear identity away so can abandon identity there and escape, wound treat/stop bleeding/pick up while wandering, walk freely as victim whose face stolen so Person X take on identity, stop/investigate Monica instead of chase other unseen villain, not mean Catholic necessarily behind - not defend abandon, 2 billion followers, large percentage so lot of Catholics personally no good or part of other group, 0.01% would be 200,000 -->

 * Helm Himmel: Himmel greeted Agnese Sanctis, Lucia and Angelene when they came to his bank to access the Anglican remote database in one of the vaults, and at Agnese's request, slipped her his key while openly feigning ignorance.
 * Monica: Monica was spying on Agnese, Lucia and Angelene, while they were in Zurich, Switzerland, visiting an Anglican remote database to investigate a possible link between the recent cases they had been involved in. When they decided to go out for lunch, at a dead end in their research, Monica was a couple of tables away, in the same restaurant they visited and was noticed by Agnese. As Agnese discretely told Lucia and Angelene who was behind them, Monica looked up from her drink, saw Agnese was onto her, and immediately ran out of the restaurant. With Agnese and the others pursuing her, she fled down an alley and used a spell to tear off her face. Though she escaped, her spell gave her pursuers a lead to follow.

 * Pt2
 * Greek Mythology - Crete/Naxos, Delous, Cyclades
 * Guilds
 * Magnesium flares/treaty
 * Stiyl burning buildings, spell book
 * Fortune telling
 * Outsider/exploitation

<!-- Tack religious on front, most exploitative envrionments driving death from overwork swept under rugs as pursuit of asceticism, history/tradition scary, work environment, regret not learning remote instructions to statues etc, put off so long forgot to study, magic world ways to go before manage unmanned weaponry, even internet down reasonable monthly price, cost effectiveness down to quality of idea, e.g. statue of Virgin Mary damage with sword/shield, open like iron maiden to chomp, Lucia tell Agnese need to study bible more when over - starting with part of honoring predecessors - amount to death sentence, Angelene tremble
 * Unmanned magical weaponry, Virgin Mary, Bible study
 * Bow culture, archer moon goddess, watchtower, Thira's terrain, Lotus Wand, 8-bit action, throw/pour down
 * Caesar cipher, world's oldest whatever - Greece/China (noodles, money, ships, wheels, flamethrowers, encryption), Indiana Jones boulder
 * Rain water storage (25-DD), Lotus Wand ambushing, harmless people stasis, largescale traps rather than individual battles, providers
 * Greek amphitheatre or arena co-opted as water storage, underground structure - actors/beasts/slaves, theatre/arena ruins dedicated to gods (Ancient theatre of Delphi contain shrine to Dionysus, Stadium at Olympia - Zeus's holy ground, amphitheaters on Delos all linked to Apollo or Artemis, any large structure where people gather have god's name engraved into it, indicate spells)

Flare burst, brighter than lightning, spin Lotus Wand around, explosive blast fill top of watchtower, spell select/solidifies wind out of five major elements. Greek mythology bow culture. Watchers aiming with bow belonging to goddess of moon/virgins thrown from tower with limbs flailing, observer/archer/arrow supplier - get from guild of highly specialized workers, gather people from special field, move more flexibly as group, guild structure like soft cushion - bag with hard beads, subtle difference from magic cabal magicians who learn to do everything selves, only know to do one thing - not even consider leaving battle no matter how going, like soldiers line in perfect ranks to be bombed to death

Thira, distinctive terrain, rough waves of Aegean wear down coast, steep sloped cliff faces, small homes of white stone lined up along slopes, white stairs link buildings in complex pattern similar to labyrinth or ghost leg lottery, on island covered in stairs - challenge for even online stores, historical city not allow passage of cars, house - small tray-sized heliports attached to walls - landing points for delivery drones, terrain make attacking island pain, have to climb steep slope when arriving from sea, Guild use terrain to advantage while holding high ground, barrels filled with hot oil/quick lime, roll down stairs, countless arrows pouring down at enemy, flashfloods down slope, gravity on side, stairs or scaling cliffs - hellish climb, like 8-bit action game

Climb top of nearby house roof after flare fade, aim at messenger running down stairs, silently grumbling, jump down and cover mouth, not kill - leave to priest, flare - drag limp messenger into deep shadows between houses, found encryption book - Angelene share with others, Caesar cipher, When discovering origins of world's oldest whatever - generally have to talk about either Greece/China - true of noodles, money, ships, wheels, flamethrowers, encryption, something still seem off, drag up slope, not surprise if giant round boulder tumble down like exploration action movie, focus on uphill

Angelene surprised, attacking cabal HQ, imagine more big battle between individuals - not all largescale traps like quick lime/flashfloods, guild is villain hiding in shadows of history - providing knowledge/techniques/materials/motivation to criminals across Europe, mean keep selves perfectly safe the while, doubt want to treat valued lives as disposable, probably want unmanned magical weaponry more than anyone - thankful that techniques not reach that level, allied troops silently neutralize scouts in watchtowers and on roofs, withdraw safely, Agata to Agnese, ley line disturbances gone for now, reading with scan using old map/pendulum, item near rain water storage tank at 25-DD, close

Used right, Lotus Wand strike distant target just by hitting wand itself, not always best, when need to silently knock out with first attack, simple blow like it could be insufficient

Thira, small island in Aegean Sea, like any remote island securing fresh water top priority, greenery suggest have natural spring, locals not rely on it alone, large stone pools built at top of steep slopes, will have corpse in them soon so ignore, priority to secure book

Thira's ordinary people, harmless thoroughly petrified, swiftly/silently knocked unconscious, given defenses capable of resisting stray shots, anyone with unusual resistance actually expert magician, casually put in stasis and fix afterwards - like how water bear works, largescale test work even with 7000, Necessarius not humane enough to hesitate because civilians used as shield, world's most powerful problem solvers who deal with crimes and even wars

Agnese group arrive at top of cliff after climbing long stairway, area take advantage of level terrain, artificial structure there built with white stone, built down into ground in bowl shape large as small baseball field, giant crater filled with dark water reflecting flames/flares/moonlight similar to ocean in fireworks show, source of flashfloods, may originally been ancient Greek amphitheater or arena, not appear to be ancient dam with long history, reuse make ancient ruin investigators faint if see, major hint

Ancient theatre of Delphi contain shrine to Dionysus, Stadium at Olympia - Zeus's holy ground, amphitheaters on Delos all linked to Apollo or Artemis, any large structure where people gather have god's name engraved into it - reveal what spells/tactics Guild prefers, need to investigate but priority remains

If ancient Greek theater/arena, more just bowl surface structure, even normal theaters have underground paths/rooms for actors/props to move without audience seeing, arena with slaves fighting lions - prison-level cells to prevent stars escaping -->
 * Venice/LAN, remodelled, Western palm reading - life/heart lines, diversion, St. Benedict unlocking spell (graverobber/bones), focus drawn, goin coin symbolize greed - blind with wicked desire/lose sight of reality, flash to blind

<!-- Coin bags float, light sources attached - explorer headlamps, light source in dark targeted first, draw attacks away if not hold/wear light, less resistance than expected - not optimistic view, ominous atmosphere of full gas tank now half empty, lack of resistance - enemy no real attachment, either main force not based there or escaping through other exit, punishment if manage to escape with book
 * Pt3
 * Light targets, booby traps
 * Nemean lion, stone or metal, Mycenaean Lion Gate, Shisa, Komainu
 * Residual thoughts, "Cause of death", Golden Bough, St. Vincent

In hidden portion of ruins since BCE, walking through underground tunnel not meet modern safety standards, bumpy surface provide spaces to hide, spared headwind of projectiles in straight tunnel with no hiding place, quick pace while looking out for cursed charms, dolls, other booby traps on floor/wall/ceiling, rushing increase risk of death - not rid of fear that miss target after coming far

Not everyone survive series of events leading up to this including some ordinary, if main force escape, square one, fuel fire of others' criminal motives to cause crimes around Europe, victim/criminal suffer while Guild laugh at safe distance, hate push to work hard in exploitative work environment, also trouble sleep if allow happen, end tonight

Sound like rustling paper, shh, finger to lips, turn silently to noise source, long passageway circling dam have other stairways/rooms build onto it, resemble stone ant colony, noise from one room, original purpose unclear doubt for friendly given remnants of metal door pulled straight up by gears/chains like guillotine or sluice, not surprised if learn once housed trained lion, thing of past

Deafening roar, choose course of action, mind blank, prevent refining magic power, hard time fight back with any complex spell, too late by time beast leap, before fear freeze, thrust out Lotus Wand on mechanical reflex, if thing held out in front of animal face, hold in place with front legs/bite, fine if not torn by first strike, not allow second, wooden wheel - splinter scattershot, slaminto lion side, blast away 200kg beast, roll over/convulse

Nemean lion, way attack hit - not biological creature, stone or metal, perhaps modelled after Mycenaean Lion Gate, like rooftop Shisa, temple Komainu come to life/attack, comical example way of distracting from fear, defeat not mean danger passed

Yet to check room rustling paper, deep burning sound and orange light from room, rush in - face peeled away strange, Monica, laugh, buy time for this, hold burning collection of paper, not let go, fire spread beyond paper and envelop arm, laugh, spread arms as body up in flames, ran towards three - grab/share fate, wheel burst and blown back towards wall with >10 times force running with, counting on it, flutter through room like cherry blossoms/scattering embers, spell book blown away, paper on fire, wax tape melt, book shredded by scattershot, help destroy in effots to protect, destruction thorough that restoring difficult, sit down by wall and watch continue to burn

Lifeforce left, about to run out, no stopping, not main issue/cold feel guilt once dawn, more important task, grab blank memo paper in same room, check leftover thoughts, need help from both to extract spell book from Monica, wax tapes with sounds? extracting memories of seeing won't get what need? not looking in head, residual thoughts clinging to clothing less strictly guarded, any voices heard once coincide with voices in spell book whether aware or not, level of accuracy not normally possible, if would - other incidents solved faster such as ghost ship, this case - burning habit and lost spell book destroy by same fire "Cause of death" - powerful common factor - use to absorb information from both spell book and criminal clothing

Don't forget, seen in Golden Bough, magic of sympathetic/contagious varieties place heavy emphasis on relationships/connections, if handhold, use it

No saving burning girl, still breathing/survivor for now, refuse to treat and extract necessary information even if mean watching die, work for peace/bright future but contemptible/inhumane (can't let Touma see), otherwise spell book to defeat Guild forever lost, clench teeth, continue work with perfect accuracy

When martyred, glass shard of St. Vincent's prison turn to flowers, saw angel, carry no pain/secrets, place contains naught but light, truth not embellished as light shines bright to guide lost lambs on earth

Continue work, look to room instead of Monica, bit afraid of suffocating with no windows for smoke to escape, curious about what kind of room, large - twice size of school classroom, walls lined with bookcases, old tomes piled up on tables, more than that - what?

Groan, last words to convey, smile little, not hesitate to respond - shut up hypocrite see in hell, death, outstretched gand simply wander through empty air, sad person, betrayed Roman Catholics, picked fight with Anglicans to side with Guild, must not manage to ride self of loneliness lodged in heart, died alone, even in Guild willing to protect with life, not find anyone want to leave final message, malice/hostility/enmity/animosity, life like book left stiff/moldy after soaked in filthy water/forcibly dried, desired freedom but lived life holding breath while hiding in dank shadows, betray all people for nothing more, not know promises made to recruit, only imagine girl manipulated/exploited - even she must have known, otherwise not waste final words, like poison to mental health, crushed by dark if not careful, deep breath - refocus mind - tap at memo paper, have written all over paper without noticing, create new book, even drawn out waveforms recorded on wax tapes, have spell book to hunt down Guild--> <!-- Guild base quickly taken, time leftover before dawn, too fast/smoothly, anxiety, leave circular water storage - rapidly organize info in head, something do even after battle complete, one person only listed in records by alias, only one important to ignore usual rules - boss, Tu, not get impression defeated, meeting with Stiyl/Isabella, front line fighters feel like disposable pawns to buy time, fight to win but not feel like fighting to survive, VIP will alias care about own life more than that, where Tu from - chemical symbol?, sigh at non-magic suggestion, not believe superiors - not discover anything selves
 * Pt4
 * Base taken too fast, not defeat, pawns to buy time, boss disappear from island
 * Notice encryption uses rather than
 * rather than - Roman mythology
 * Roman mythology similar to Greek, original indigenous religion mostly lost as overwritten
 * Guild adapt to work within Greek/Roman/Christian society underside, change gods to match current age
 * Greek/Roman/Christian relationship, Rome swallows Greece but absorb culture/overwritten, empire oppress early Christianity, martyred saints, Christians oppress all others once accepted, e.g. witch hunts, Roman mythology derivatives, same thing ancestors decried, corrupted by power
 * Guild look to survive, blend in with mass/winning side (Renaissance), good/evil meaningless, nothing to protect, myth/culture tools/battery, time to move on - will do it, done with Greece/Rome and now Christianity's turn, working to destroy Christian society as think time to act, no room for negotiation
 * If disappearance not merely self-preservation, something left worth abandoning base, fuelling criminals not enough - do self, infiltrate/destroy Vatican

Tu escape island during fighting? ships surrounding island, not easy, notice curious facts, acquire spell book but discover other things, interesting documents in room, fail to destroy or confident not be stopped even if that info gets out, encryption uses Caesar cipher, expect scytale - cylindrical strip of parchment from ancient Greece, used method develop later in ancient Rome

When destroy watchtower, sniper drop weapon, bow/arrow fill hit with deadly disease, origins in goddess of moon/virgins, not let hit anyone, can't say if only works on women or not, appear to be bow/arrow of Diana not Artemis, reason for different god - Roman mythology

Roman mythology very similar to Greek mythology, provide position for few emperors/heroes to grant legitimacy to Roman Empire, Rome have original indigenous religion but mostly lost as stories of Zeus applied to Jupiter, Hera to Juno etc

Confronted by Monica, originally Christian, manage to recruit without detection, means of contacting Catholics in secret, means Guild adapt with times to work within Greek/Roman/Christian society, like influenza virus developing new strain every year to defeat existing vaccine, not outdated fossil cling to life on society edges - opposite, maintain network across Europe since ancient Greece and still remain hidden wherever went, explain why difficult to track down, when Christian priest/nun arrive after fact to view from surface, hard time seeing Guild territory spread out deep underground, live on underside, change names of gods to match current age to pull of, willing to compromise, fundamentally incomprehensible to those who worship Son of God, apparently use full set of Roman spells - doubtful truly worship Jupiter from bottom of heart

What matters - relationship between Greek, Roman, Christian, look back in history - look like direct progression but not that simple, Greek age lead into Roman age, name of Rome swallow weakened Greek lands, absorb Greek culture, Roman gods have large portion overwritten by Greek ones, Zeus/Jupiter become essentially same, Rome win politically but conquered culturally, views of good/evil not consistent, Empire not at all understand early Christianity, oppress like a new cult, too clear when look on legends of martyred saints, once Christianity accept by an emperor, Christians begin oppressing all other religions, like witch hunts, priest/priestess worship any ancient god accused of being witch, very people who branch off from Roman mythology and develop beliefs from there, Christians end up doing exact thing ancestors decried, human nature to be corrupted by power? not what matters

Guild searching for way to survive while this going on, throw out own religion, blend in with masses, Rome absorb Greece - became Roman, Roman mythology oppressing Christian join in, Christian oppress traditional witches - throw stones at own friends, witches fail to escape burned at stake - laugh with Christians, when Greek/Roman sculptures new hot thing in Renaissance - criticize overly strict Christian culture of art, nothing remain consistent, only want to be on side currently winning, might know winning sied wrong but still join without criticism, spit on everything hold dear, raise questions about wheyther really are Roman magicians deep down, unbeliebable for nuns believe in Son of God and fight for faith, Guild use method to survive

Nothing to protect, good/evil meaningless, myths mere tools, culture just battery, world just consumable, once one too worn down to be of use, move on to next, time comes - do it, happen with Greece/Rome, no Christianity's turn, working to destroy Christian society - only because reach zenith, willing to do simply because time to hcange battery, pull trigger on violence not due to good/evil but because believe current age forcing on them, violence not based on grudge or depthless hedonism, time came - act, simple/unshakeable - no room for negotiation, only solution to slaughter all, job for Stiyl - Kanzaki never do

Stiyl: Standard form for violence with no real ideology behind, on rampage of killing/looting, when accused with crimes obviously committed - blame age of war and insist not responsible, all comes from personal desires - not age live in

Apparent boss Tu disappear, if not just self-preservation, something left to do that worth abandoning base, before adding fuel to fire motivating criminals around Europe, not enough, now attempting something themselves, assumption - implicit question - what exactly planning, Guild can hide anywhere in Europe, intend to destroy Christian society as casually as throw out dead battery, thought accomplish from there but fail, frustration? like internet suddenly down or train stopped for hours, not just impartiant observer - directly tied to own identity, not hesitate for suggestion - obvious move, dress as Roman, destroy Vatican that guides 2 billion believers, what faster or more effective? -->

Guild
Principles

Current:

Similar to lodges and salons, the term guild typically refers to a collection of craftsmen or intellectuals with a certain specialty.
 * Organizations or groups where workers of a specific field, steel/food, gather to increase success of field as a whole

Guild is described as being a fairly common term for those steeped in the magic side (similar to lodges/salons), a magician's guild being similar to normal ones but focused on magic and with distinct differences from a magic cabal.

New:
 * On the underside of society, guilds can be gathering points for workers who cannot openly advertise their services, such as an illicit manufacturing guild (skills and services might include procuring materials, manufacturing, shipping products, sales etc) or an assassination guild (skills and services might be include procuring weapons, carrying out a kill, disposing of bodies, making alibis etc). In this case, to avoid detection, guild members are supposed to remain as inconspicuous as possible, using greetings, handshakes, cards or meeting places which only other members would recognize, with the guild's base being the biggest secret. Being nondescript is considered the most notable signature of this type of guild.


 * Observer, archer, arrow supplier, what get with guild full of specialized workers
 * Gather people from special field, move more flexibly as group, guild's structure - like soft cushion filling bag with hard beads. Subtle difference from cabal magicians who learn to do everything self
 * Only know how to do one, not consider leave battle no matter how bad things doing
 * Knowledge, techniques, materials, motivations

Principles, "The Guild"

Current:

"The Guild" (ギルド) (actual name currently unknown) is a guild of magicians based in Europe, dating from the time of ancient Greece.

Given its history, the group and many of its members used Greek, Roman and Christian elements in their magic and methods.
 * Adapted with times to work within Greek/Roman/Christian society, like influenza virus developing new strains yearly to defeat existing vaccines (Ch5Pt4)

The Guild had a base on the Greek island of, had members throughout Europe in a network maintained since antiquity, and was known enough in Turin that "the Guild" would be sufficient for people there to know which group was meant. Given how the Guild managed to recruit Monica without being detected, Agnese deduced that they possessed a means of contacting Roman Catholics in secret. The Guild had a spell book containing records of its members, including wax tapes with individual voice samples (with idiosyncrasies that many magic cabals like to keep track of). It also made use of a for its encryptions.
 * Covering tracks - Ch1/Ch4

During the attack on Thira, the Guild utilized the island's steep terrain with various traps, including barrels of hot oil and quick lime, volleys of arrows, and flash floods from an amphitheatre repurposed into a dam. A sniper unit stationed in a watchtower, including an observer, archer and arrow supplier, utilized a bow and arrow, based on the weapon of Diana, goddess of the moon and virgins, which fills those it hits with a deadly disease. Another weapon was an animated stone or metal lion, weighing approximately 200kg and possibly based on the.

The Guild's likely leader is an individual referred to by codename in the group's records (and the only one to be referred to in this way) as Tu.

Ch6:
 * Book can be used to locate/capture members hidden all over Europe
 * Spreads beyond Europe/Eurasia, nearly 16 thousand members scattered around globe, pure number - may rival enigmatic Dawn-Colored Sunlight - mostly known from legends.

New: <!-- “The Guild has adapted with the times to work within a Greek, Roman, and Christian society. Just like the influenza virus develops a new strain every year to defeat the existing vaccines.”
 * Motivations
 * Over the course of its history, the Guild has adapted to match the changing times in Europe and work within a Greek then a Roman then a Christian society. As the Greek age led into the Roman age, Greek lands and culture were absorbed by Rome, resulting in Rome's indigenous mythology being overwritten in the process. The Roman Empire oppressed early Christianity, but once it was accepted, Christians began oppressing all other regions. In order to survive and prosper, the Guild blended in with the masses and freely changed out their religion and culture to match the side which was currently winning and joined in with them, regardless as to whether that side's actions were in the wrong. According to Agnese Sanctis when considering their motivations, good and evil mean nothing to the Guild and they have nothing to protect, myth being mere tools to them, culture a battery and the world just a consumable product, and when one is too worn down to be of use, they will move on to the next one, acting when they believe the time has come. Seeing Christian society as having reached its limit, the present-day Guild sought to destroy it as they believed it was Christianity's time to go and it was time to them to move on, as they had done with Greece and Rome before.

“What matters here is the relationship between Greek, Roman, and Christian. If you look back in history, it looks like there’s a direct progression between them, but it wasn’t actually that simple.” “For example, when the Greek age led into the Roman age, the name of Rome swallowed up the weakened Greek lands. But by absorbing Greek culture, the Roman gods had a large portion of themselves overwritten by the Greek ones. Like Zeus and Jupiter becoming essentially the same. So you could say Rome won politically but was conquered culturally. Their views of good and evil weren’t consistent. The Roman Empire did not at all understand early Christianity and oppressed it like a new cult. That becomes all too clear when you look back on the legends of the martyred saints.” “But once Christianity was accepted by one of the emperors, it was the Christians who began oppressing all other religions. Like the witch hunts. Any priest or priestess that worshiped any of the ancient gods was accused of being a witch, but those were the very people who had branched off from Roman mythology and developed their beliefs from there, right? The Christians ended up doing exactly the thing their ancestors had so decried.”
 * Not outdated fossil clinging to life on edge of society, opposite, maintain network since antiquity, still remain hidden wherever went, why difficult to track down, arrive after fact to view surface - hard time to see Guild territory spread underground, live on underside, change gods to match age, willing to compromise, seem incomprehensible to nuns, use Roman spells but doubtful truly worship

-->
 * Agnese:
 * “The Guild was searching for a way to survive while all this was going on. So they threw out their own religion and blended in with the masses.”
 * "…As you can see, nothing about them ever remained consistent. They only wanted to be on the side of whoever was currently winning. They might know the winning side was wrong, but they would still join in without making any criticism. They readily spat on everything they held dear."
 * “So they have nothing to protect. Good and evil are meaningless to them. Myths are mere tools to them, culture no more than a battery, and the world just a consumable product. Once one is too worn down to be of any use, they move on to the next. Once the time comes, they simply do it. It happened with Greece, it happened with Rome, and now it’s Christianity’s turn."
 * When Rome absorbed Greece, they became Roman. When Roman mythology was oppressing Christians, they joined in. And when Christians began oppressing the traditional witches, they threw stones at their own friends. When the witches who failed to escape in time were burned at the stake, they laughed along with the Christians. When Greek and Roman sculptures were the new hot thing during the Renaissance, they criticized the overly strict Christian culture of art.
 * The Guild is working to destroy Christian society. But only because Christianity has reached its zenith. They are willing to do this simply because the time has come to change out the battery. They have pulled the trigger on so much violence not due to an issue of good and evil, but because they truly believe the current age is forcing it upon them.

 * Stiyl: “We need this solid evidence to track down all the undercover members they have around Europe. We don’t need to get any information out of prisoners this time, so don’t bother taking any. The Guild chose to enter our world and they violated a taboo while they were at it, so let’s show them how we do things. Commit an ordinary crime and you’ll find yourself convicted in court and thrown behind bars, but what if your crime doesn’t allow for that? Those fools may think they’ve found the master key to the universe, but they are in for a rude awakening.”

・ Isabella's magic to get lost information, Kamijou's memory loss is unlikely to lead

・ There are actually multiple ways to become a genie, and since there are multiple survivors, I couldn't understand even Isabella's magic.

・ The act of stealing a part of the saint's remains was common in Europe in the past, and it was also called holy theft.

・ For example, the remains of St. Benedictus in episode 5 were also holy stolen.

・ It seems that it took about three days to investigate the theft from the museum in Nuremberg, which was discovered by Isabella's magic.

・ Is it really okay in chronological order? At least the 0930 incident has already occurred? ?? ?? ・ Theft cases involving tu have occurred continuously after a certain blank period, and one Cambridge pedigree investigator, Brax-Mazehain, disappeared in the blank.

・ Three nuns headed to England , considering this incident as the last clue to tu. ・ Although the story of technology for people who cannot do magic is renewed, I always think that it is a technology that is overtaken by talented people such as one-way streets.

As a school city, it is developing supernatural powers, and people who are considered to be talented will be limited to rough stones.

・ The three who returned to England were naked here.

・ Cambridge at night is a scary city where college students are in a car with a pair of pants

・ Brax's house has strict magical defenses and cannot be invaded unless it is naked. ・ So Lucia is taken off and jumps brilliantly to invade.

・ Lucia, who said that Mr. Kamijou was filthy, wandered around the city at night naked ...

・ While Lucia invaded dodged the trap, what she saw in the fridge with a hit was a neatly carved corpse of Brax-Mazehain.

・ It seems that tu has asked Brax to appraise the stolen goods, and it seems that he was stamped with a drumstick if it was genuine.

・ However, it seems that it was actually a pedigree investigator's lip service, and it seems that he retaliated against Brax, who performed an important ritual with stolen goods but failed, and gave a fake and genuine test result.

・ It seems that the magic that quickly got information from the records left in Brax's house was based on the anecdote of Catherine of Alexandria.

・ Catherine of Alexandria was born in a house of a certain position during the Roman Empire, and was a Christian.

It is said that he refuted 50 wise men of Roman mythology when Roman mythology was proud of his power.

・ The wheel explosion technique that Lucia usually uses is also a reproduction of this person's anecdote.

・ Based on the information obtained, it is possible that Tu failed in performing a ritual using the magical spirit of Saturnus's sickle.

・ Tu comes from Saturn's spelling, not from Satan the Devil.

・ It may have a meaning not to be confused with the devil of the cross, but I feel that it is a little different from the nature of the guild as described later.

-Saturn's sickle is a spiritual costume like a basic apostle cross, the difference is that it is a large-scale barrier that is activated by hijacking the ground veins around the area pierced by the sickle, the point that the user wields power like a god, the land that he dominated If an intruder appears in the area, you can easily kill it.

・ Tu's identity turns out to be Albert-Dying, where Stiyl should have killed what he once failed during the ritual. It ’s yours! ?? ・ But why stick to Roman mythology? Given the nature of the guild, it seems strange to re-use Roman mythology, once defeated by the cross, to eliminate the cross. ・ It seems that the guild's philosophy is that it is the winner's side to overtake it with science and technology in the school city. -->

Isabella Theism: Ch6Pt2
 * Isabella is capable of using her necromancy for divination, although the invoked dead spirits can only reveal lost information which cannot be found through methods available to the living (though not necessarily known to Isabella herself). In the case of finding where the destroyed stolen statue on Thira came from, Isabella began her spell by spreading her arms wide, with fluttering scraps of paper, clippings from newspapers and magazines filling the area. Invoking a dead spirit, drawn in by unsalted rye bread and unfermented grace juice (not needing the complete resurrection that is the work of the Lord to invite in a being capable of answering the question), she demanded that it don a temporary garb (with no boundary there between the living and dead) to draw out information once formed by human hand but lost through death, declaring what she sought. As she completed her incantation and commands, the mini-whirlwind of papers took the form of a life-sized human. With no safety measure in place, the dead spirit promptly began to attack the living, who then had to attack and tear all the articles from the raging dead spirit, with the last one left being the result.
 * Starting her incantation, she announced that a complete resurrection was the work of the Lord but she didn't need to go that far to invite in a being capable of answering the question. Once drawn in by unsalted rye bread and unfermented grace juice, she demanded the spirit to don a temporary garb, with no boundary there between living and dead, to draw out information once formed by human hand but lost through death. Declaring she was seeking data about a lost connection, she called for the spirit to answer her call and provide an answer as to where the statue was taken from.
 * “Why does a necromancer wear the filthy clothes of the dead? What immediate benefit do they hope to gain from that? One answer is divination.”
 * “When no one in the world of the living can find the answer, it is time to seek the dead who have escaped all physical restrictions. When the link has been severed, it’s my time to shine.”
 * “Generally speaking, the dead can only reveal lost information. I cannot draw out any information that could be found through methods available to the living, like carbon dating, alternate light sources, lie detectors, or truth serums.”
 * “If the dead cannot answer me, that means it can be achieved using known methods. But not necessarily known to me.”
 * Comeback for everything - generally case with people claim to speak with dead
 * Spread arms wide, fluttering scraps of paper fill area, clippings from newspapers and magazines
 * “A complete resurrection is the work of the Lord, but I need not go that far to invite in a being capable of answering your question. Once drawn in by the unsalted rye bread and unfermented grape juice, I demand thou don this temporary garb!!”
 * “I seek data concerning a lost connection. There is no boundary between life and death here, so draw out the information once formed by human hand but lost through death. Answer my call, for I desire just one thing from the wandering dead: from where was this statue taken!?”
 * Mini-whirlwind, invisible storm of floating papers, take form of life-size human, claws
 * "This means it was a perfect success. Now you all need to attack the raging dead spirit to tear all those articles from it. The last one remaining will be the divination result."
 * “Oh, and if you screw it up, you’ll be joining them in the afterlife. Of course, that just means more materials for me, so it’s not a problem at all☆” (Character article Quote candidate)
 * No safety to prevent attack master
 * “Disinfect it,” “And Isabella while you’re at it.”
 * “Eh heh heh. Now, this is getting interesting. A fresh corpse with no external injuries is rare indeed. Drool. And this isn’t just a pickled Hand of Glory or a body compressed into a diamond! It’s a full corpse I could do anything I want with!! I need as much reference material as I can get for the corpses I construct out of animal meat and bones and I was hoping to try out some new things. This really gets my imagination running wild! Ahh, the ideas just won’t stop! Is this further proof that I’m a genius? I could do so many cool things with this!!” (Pt1 - Character article Quote candidate, added)

 * Pre-TL Notes?

Unsorted Notes:
 * Pt1 (Stiyl/Isabella)
 * Isabella had to stop Stiyl's heart with lime poison to make him seem dead and escape real death from Tu's attack
 * Note: Similarity to initial plan in Ch3
 * Isabella gather all techniques relating to death, Greek/Roman mythologies no exception, already madly in love with death smelling of pomegranate (Greek Mythology/Roman Mythology - Persephone), no need to convert, love death smelling of lime (Voodoo - poison), corn (??? - ?) and grapes (??? - Christianity, Wine, Blood of Christ?) just as much, far too much desire to remain faithful to just one
 * Sickle, stab into ground, establish powerful field - claim land, physically eliminate souls of any who disobey
 * 7 thefts, focus on point where stopped, should have focused on end - achieve goal
 * How far spread, how much of world cut away with one strike, in boat, light on horizon, peninsula
 * Stiyl gone to Italy to search ruins/art for Guild-related old documents, sculptures, other materials etc
 * Effective range past city/region
 * Entire Italian Peninsula, appear to include Sicily too, all of Italy, including more remote islands, lucky didn't include ocean between for now
 * Massive field only trigger deadly rejection if give clear 'no' when asked to convert, allowed to put off answering or say still thinking, unless Vatican's VIPs decide to unnecessarily defiant, shouldn't have mass slaughter on hands for now
 * Bible well-defined book, look at history shows current interpretation changes several times at ecumenical councils, always in way benefiting contemporary royalty/nobility curiously enough, Vatican HQ of massive religion, do know how to make political compromises
 * Situation could be worse, next step - move back in time, Sickle stabbed into Rome, extent of control differs depending on era, if Tu alter settings to redefine territory as Roman Empire at peak, control all of Northern Africa and Eastern European nations like Romania, territory of ruin and subjugation reach France, Germany, England
 * Pt2 (Agnese Forces in London church)
 * Nuns spared worst after returning to England for investigation forced to do themselves, in inconspicuous London church
 * Not using official equipment provided by England, all members of Agnese Force gather silver candlesticks, stained glass, pipe organ etc to secretly connect to Anglican equipment and magic symbols found around city, link together - observation post, like creating access point to government agency computers, pipe organ does opposite to normal, not play notes written on sheet music, press keys cause info to appear on blank sheet music
 * Agata: All of Europe's ley lines contaminated, unnatural tremor of plate movement detected, centre on Mt. Vesuvius and Etna, irregular but continuous, imagine plate moving opposite of normal, like time reversing, Sickle effective range reset to peak of Roman Empire, assume meant alter setting within spiritual item, not it??, Tu trying to redefine region of control to Pax Romana at beginning of CE era by altering position of crust determining flow of ley lines?
 * Can do it? Most control is Europe, not entire planet, if force plates to move backwards, distortion concentrate at point somewhere, not just return geography to 2000 years ago, land rise/fall all over place, tons of uncontrollable earthquakes, change flow of water veins/crude oil, matter of life/death, international war could occur, doubt cares, convert fear into strength to challenge, goal destruction of Christian society, win - spread Roman mythology across western Europe, north Africa and parts of eastern Europe, not problem if unexpected cataclysm destroys Christian society as whole instead, not care how happens, if current world destroyed, power structure in place not last long
 * Tu not considering realistic problems, destruction all wanted, next not concern, almost too perfect incarnation of destruction, silently hide out of sight, carefully prepare plan, bring absolute tragedy, even if plan brought down by duplicity of bloodline investigator, feign calm long enough to recover/back on track, feel like machine design for one end, so calculated barely seem human
 * Not know about Vatican, Italy swallowed up immediately, no idea how well treacherous Alps acts as breakwater, France/Germany at risk, worst case - around 5 hours left
 * What to do, if sit/wait, field of control probably cross Strait of Dover and engulf UK, even if not, unnatural crust movement create cataclysm
 * Indebted to country, worry about home but can't ignore debt/fight for selves, question - whether will trust them, Anglican/Necessarius
 * Glance briefly in stained glass, reflect entrance, dark figure - not someone transferred in like Agnese/Kanzaki, probably elite recruited from Anglican Church, assume one like that around, outsiders always outsiders, transfers tailed by 'keepers' secretly monitoring what they do, a lot more obvious when people allow selves to be seen
 * Censer and cross (や十字架を使った範囲攻撃), standard for an area-of-effect attack, not very flexible, usually "dropped in" to wipe out cabal on own
 * Take as warning, from nuclear state, fear use moment of weakness to attack UK within - not take out but could cause unnecessary losses
 * People only believe own eyes at time like this, no matter how Agnese group insist fight for UK, supervisor never listen, see very different things from positions, God weeping right now, supervisor telling them to stay put/watch, useless if world destroyed in meantime, not carry specific hatred to them - all outsiders treated like that, monitor/wordlessly warn Orsola in same way even though harmless - waste of time, never pick up hinted warning, fall of Christian society spreading but probably fast asleep, if Anglican instead gather forces, might sneak into Italy/Vatican, what doing, higher ups clearly in disarray if decide necessary to remind outsiders of misguided doubts, without confusion at play - only one who actually want to see world destroyed given go ahead on ridiculous plan (Coronzon?), faster/safer to let Agnese group pursuing Tu to continue mission than to have elites go through all documents to obtain necessary info. Stupid, worth protecting?
 * Admit care, city a mess but enjoy, decide to fight even if punished, remove obstinate to repay debt and save
 * Pt3 (dealing with the supervisor)
 * Necessarius elite, thoroughly train to crush cabals on own, area-of-effect attacks - censer/cross (香炉や十字架を使った範囲攻撃), work better against multiple targets (end up fighting other for sliver of safety left, not work against Agnese Force's coordination strength), unlike transfers - world expert in anti-magician combat, know what fighting not enough to overcome difference in power ranking, only trying to escape/return to work on Tu case.
 * Scream, claiming panty hunter, mistake sending male to monitor private lives of girl group, removed field eliminate presence/noises so scream ring across neighbourhood
 * Area has high concentration of English gentlemen, willing to come to aid even in middle of night, agent dutybound to preserve organization secrecy so can't protest, magician - through/through, not just side job - no identity outside of magic world
 * Angelene send bag to send Lucia's underwear (black lace, yellow ribbon, favorite pair, can't wear again) inside cloak, escape through church back entrance, supervisor mobbed, escape from monitored church, five hours left, need to procure vehicle, listening to ambience
 * Pt4 (aircraft trip)
 * Tiltrotor designed as transport craft, main wings too thick, propellers too large for airplane, wing joints to rotate 90 degrees at base, meant to send in navy personnel, not often have naval battles deadly enough to require sending more sailors
 * UK, island nation/major power, traditionally known for powerful navy, defeated Spain's "Invincible Armada" at pivotal point in history, took control of Age of Discovery, source of national pride
 * Irony, invention of airplane, shift from Age of Sea to Age of Air, work of America after declaring independence from UK
 * Time limit 5 hours, not many options to reach Italy/Vatican from England, magical means of flight but magical flight easily prevented by other magical means, best to rely on ordinary technology
 * UK first country to develop/deploy practical VTOL aircraft
 * Not have unlimited access to England's resources just because staying with Anglicans, on run after escape surveillance, sending aircraft require cumbersome process - several layers of authorizations, furthermore military transport aircraft to another country, never receive authorization, higher ups panicked and unsure what to do to overlook confusion they caused? no panic if unanimous decision to abandon UK, hastily-forged handwritten documents and bit of magical suggestion, readily accepted/allowed, chain of command in disarray that proper checks not be performed
 * UK known for having more cabals than any other country, hope none use chance to forge document to access British Museum
 * Report from Stiyl/Isabella, sickle's "submit or die" field swallow Italian Peninsula, influence not left country, avoid field by staying in Mediterranean - narrow inland sea, lot of European/African countries border it, map of territorial waters and EEZ fairly complex, Royal Navy aircraft flew through without permission, all land pass glowing gold, boundary between land/sea clear, not limited to Italy anymore, change start in Italy, cross Alps, work into France, not tell beyond horizon probably happening to Germany too, current borders rewritten or based on older map?
 * Italian Peninsula engulfed in pale gold light, borders to sea plain even at night, witness - same awe as viewing religious artwork in great cathedral, Vatican still enshrouded in darkness - sickle hasn't taken over, blocked by another magical field, taking over rest of Italy to apply pressure from all sides to forcibly break through Christian field? not all according to plan, success of plan - collapse of Christian society, arrival of a Roman age, failure - simultaneous disasters from movement of crust and society collapse, trueborn Christians carrying on after saints martyred after refusing to convert to Roman, develop faith into means of fighting, combat experts specialized in different way to Vatican VIPs, no changing Agnese Force being killed if enter sickle's range but Vatican still putting up defense - can still go there and destroy the sickle
 * Vatican still surrounded, world's smallest country after agreements with Italy, officially fully independent but lack geopolitical conditions needed to survive without it, like trying to sneak into embassy/consulate in country without entering country, can't escape field by flying to destination without touching ground - die as soon as enter air directly above field, only cover contiguous land and nearby island, not cover ocean, field trying to expand based on map and roll back too peak of Roman Empire, two weaknesses - ocean/time
 * Pt5 (underground waterways)
 * Dark/damp/unnerving sounds - still/stagnant air, polar opposite of tiltrotor, bend over to avoid hitting head on wet ceiling
 * Barrier only covers land for now, approach by sea without issue
 * Two flashlights, one old incandescent bulb, one new LEDs - invisible toxic gas sometimes appear as haze when using different wavelength lights
 * Using map of ancient Rome's territory to determine when field goes, not interested in modern geography (e.g. underground), Rome old city with apartments/temples from centuries or over millennium ago, modern plumbing/subway system built by weaving in between ancient structures, Tu only looking at old surface maps, plenty of secret labyrinths not aware of
 * Approach as far as can by sea, use drain to enter underground route leading to Vatican, field's threat nothing in locations not on old maps of ancient Rome
 * Air fresher over there - collapsed wall leads to traditional waterway from ancient Rome era
 * Not let guard down just because underground, tunnel age change between levels, one of modern concrete here, remove equipment from large bags/set down/assemble, small cart like toy - no intention of late-night marathon all way to Rome from coast
 * Intentionally brought old model to avoid magic-science treaty violation
 * Climb aboard, fix lights, check steering wheel/pedals, slowly drive electric vehicle forward
 * World War II: Resistance force using underground routes - really more of French/East European thing, Italy fascist state in war rejecting freedom/diversity, legends of many Christian crossing border through complex array of tunnels to reach Vatican, receive valuable opinion on matters without Italian authorities knowing, historical/traditional plan, key difference - not invited this time
 * Pursuing Tu, just barely miss capture, how would RCC interpret, suspect working with or hold back to allow more damage or using chaos to sneak in and take heads of Catholic leaders who abandon - probably could do if wanted to
 * Lotus Wand - trust weapon with life/faith, spiritual item for using magic that can take lives
 * Pt6 (in the Vatican)
 * Vatican: World's smallest independent nation, population less than 1000 (including visitors), RCC HQ, geographically located within Italian capital Rome, only entire country registered as world heritage site, fought over ownership of Rome after military invasion by Italy, became current city state in 1929, lack military of own, Pope traditionally protected by Swiss Guard, even if lack military, any country trying to invade would make enemy of other world powers, need passport to get in as country
 * Vatican
 * Up through manhole, surface dangerous, not emerge in wide-open St. Peter's Square, garden surrounded by tall walls, open area out front strict magical security from 140 saint statues overlooking ground, need to avoid, not immediately killed on surface - sunspot to sickle's effects.
 * Saint, Vatican, CR
 * Low-level, never actually summoned to Vatican while with Catholics, first time there but feel back
 * Look straight up, unnatural aurora-like light in sky, collection of protective barriers covering Vatican, only brightly visible because working to fight Sickle, outside walls already gold, between Governor's Palace and Fount of the Eagle, close to St. Peter's Basilica - covered in thick construction sheets and scaffolding in aftermath of Fiamma's attack, close to miracle restoration this far long already, demonstrate power of RCC, can remake/add onto "history" as easily as someone pasting new image using photo editing software
 * Quiet, even when population count increase by tourists, Vatican City not as busy as New York and Shanghai and even less as night once ordinary visitors left, even with less than 1000, lot of church officials here, currently attacked by Tu, should have been buzzing with activity, strange, switch off flashlight, no lights on in Basilica or courthouse, stepping into world where shadow keep safe and light on can get killed, sneaking in - not want to remain in open space for long, afraid to move around blindly, crouch/wait for eyes to adjust, ten minutes - make out hand signs without light, walk across lawn to reach Basilica wall, no traps/guards respond, too smooth - like deserted ghost ship, still holding on?, something happening - worse/better/beyond imagination?
 * Basilica might not be what looking for, less than 1km across - size of amusement park, search through everything if have to, Vatican - bound to have secret passageways/vaults, bet as many tricks/secrets as ancient Egyptian pyramid, enter Vatican with route not on official map, other secrets around, official map/diagram not enough
 * Can't take easy way and use magic, multiple barriers might interfere and may track down, Vatican small - can cover whole place with high-level security, thoroughly search while not being spotted, not find priests/nuns, thorough search - deal with more difficult while strength to spare, first go to Basilica, all evacuate?, large door, always want to visit so know more or less where everything is without having to check tourist site, blank spot, pathway connecting basilica and Sistine Chapel, arrangement of many stone steps perfect for hiding facility not found on map, e.g. monitor room gather footage from security camera, press against wall next to double doors, focus ears, thick piece of oak - quiet click - computer, gamble, Angelene try to take up on offer and flee but Lucia hold, oak - small Latin text carved, using magic probably backfire, Christianity - type of curse, anathema, power to cut off rulebreakers from community, silver staff into crack between double doors, leverage to break lock and kick door in
 * Left/right walls covered in monitors, several collapsed on floor, no medicine more than for three, first aid kit/AED bag from wall, groan, unique dialect of German - Swiss Guard, habit - uninvited guest, not with him - all that matters, man in sit point to many monitors, approach wall, grab steel rack monitors connected to, push open like door, rectangular opening, stone stairway leading down - shelter, rest in hands, circulation of lifeforce weak to point of vanishing, normal treatment not save, abnormal, recovery magic give away position
 * Come despite risk to stop Tu, can't be distracted, plenty of enemies, old home not welcome with open arms and Anglicans upset for disobeying orders, could be interrupted at any time - need to hide presence, give into emotion and act without thinking mean fail, accept/understand but accept risk to save
 * Christianity - no shortage of legends about miraculous healing of injuries and sickness, one of 12 Apostles even used miracle to temporarily revive dead body so it could walk around once more
 * Christianity (Healing/ Apostles ), Healing Magic, Saint?
 * Bring dying Swiss Guard back to stable, monitor room - something like tape attached to edges of LCD screen, all turn red, noticed - look of mountain climber preparing for treacherous climb, both Vatican/Tu, look refresh - focus on just one problem, if chose to abandon for own safety - stick with and trip up when really matter
 * Race against time to take out Tu and destroy the Sickle before doom catches up
 * Pt7 (confronting Tu)
 * Descent: Stairs down from monitor room, stone spiral staircase down, single path - if attacked not escape to sides, spiral mean not see far down, might think better than straight stair with direct line of fire, meaningless with fire or poison gas, anything that fill entire space can pass curve with ease, intentional design, first goal of shelter - allow VIP to escape, second goal - eliminate approaching enemies, if anyone approach - reach door/destroy by force, wheel at ready, nothing happening, unwanted tranquility like over already, final step, large round metal door like bank vault door, light - open
 * Room: Space has hemispherical shape, even more than great hall prepared for choir - design to resist explosions or religion meaning? None of everyday necessities, no diamonds/gold bars/other emergency use assets, altar, pews, stain glass on walls despite being deep underground, giant cross, space a chapel - meant for use in combat, altar and stoup built into wall, seat of honour for lord of castle lot like chapels used to sanctify swords and such in Medieval European castles, in Vatican - seat of honour intentionally left empty, like castle chapel - part of giant building yet thick columns etc appear independent, because chapels like that designed to be opposite of castle's great hall, if Vatican single bivalve containing everything necessary for life, chapel like small crab inside shell, hidden within great cathedral and wholly independent, remain sacred mystery in and off self
 * People fallen on floor, old men - cardinals in red robes, center - Pope, one allowed to wear white, only person still standing - Albert, thought cleared final obstacles - suppose not obstacle but hounds pursuing from behind, took too long to break down final wall
 * Albert Dying: Tall/blonde, look like priest in stereotypical black cassock, possibly obtain official position in Vatican City to come/go as pleased while undercover, no ordinary cassock - more like stage magician's handkerchief, young man spread arms wide, fabric unravel, become pure white - loose white make look like one of marble sculptures Renaissance artists were fond of, not matter how much act and how much him
 * Ready weapons, failed/agree in childish way, hardly matter 1v3, lack of attachment/aimlessness - frightening when prove how powerful, not predict what do next, thought over once attack Vatican - met surprising setbacks there, from beginning - Anglican interference surprise, cause decoy incidents to give time to secretly secure Sickle and prepare for use, idea was for Catholic special forces to take bait to cover up internal scandals, RCC/AC/ROC - known as three major denominations - constantly clashing in secret no matter how peaceful surface looks, not mean wanting major foe to collapse - like America/Soviet Union aim nuclear missiles at each other after war, enemies useful to - organizations greater influence than one may think - want it or not

 * Dreams reveal nothing, lay out suggestive words in hopes that can instil own desires in others, convince people can find happiness if follow flowchart in words, dreams just dreams - no reality, human - no matter how enlightened try to sound

Personality:
 * Manipulative
 * Albert Dying has been described as a dreamer, and is focused on achieving his own dreams.
 * He has no compunction about causing chaos and destruction, both openly and secretly, in the process of accomplishing his dream, or manipulating people to support it at their expense, convincing them that it will bring them happiness but leading them to lose everything, taking as much as he likes without taking responsibility.
 * When Agnese first confronted him in the Vatican, he displayed a casual attitude with an apparent lack of attachment and aimlessness despite the power he had acquired, projecting a gentle and pleasant air while attempting his usual manipulation, trying to sound enlightened.

Background:
 * Incidents as decoys meant for Catholics, didn't expect Anglican interference (here or Chronology)

Chronology:
 * Ch7:
 * Affecting Italian Peninsula, reverting to peak of the Roman Empire, take over or tectonic cataclysm - destroy Christian society
 * Blocked in the Vatican, need to kill Pope at its core to overcome, pressure from all sides, old Roman territory
 * Agnese confrontation, failed to convince
 * With the sickle's territory immediately engulfing the entire Italian Peninsula, including Sicily and other islands but excluding the sea, and gradually spreading outward with Europe's ley lines contaminated (being predicted to reach the United Kingdom in 5 hours), Albert attempted to have the sickle's territory cover the area of the Roman Empire at its peak, causing a reverse tectonic movement to revert the state of the ley lines to the time of the Pax Romana - with either full control or resultant tectonic cataclysm to bring about the destruction of Christian society he sought. However, the Vatican's defenses blocked the sickle's influence, and Albert subsequently attempted to kill the Pope, who formed the core of those defenses, in order to bring the Vatican's land under the sickle's control.

Abilities, Sickle of Saturn:
 * Basic Overview
 * "Submit-or-die"
 * Albert's use

For the cornerstone of his guild's plan to destroy Christian society, Albert located and stole a spiritual item known as the Sickle of Saturn (サトゥルヌスの鎌), based on the Roman equivalent of the of  (アダマスの鎌) which Saturn's Greek equivalent  used to castrate  and usurp his throne as the chief god (before being overthrown in turn by ),. It is described as looking like an ordinary sickle, with a blade not made of metal but a rougher material coated with something like transparent sand.

Acting as a large-scale field constructor, when stabbed into the ground the Sickle of Saturn can take over local ley lines and remake the surrounding area into the user's territory. It is described as similar to Croce di Pietro, which can Catholicize land it is stabbed into, but said to be worse, being able to provide 'foundation' to any land, cut it away from the surrounding land and apparently grant the user near-godlike authority.

Given its use of the ley lines running through the planet, the sickle's location can cause the field to cover more than just a single settlement or region, with Albert's own target being the Vatican, and from that the former lands of the. During Albert's use of the sickle in the Vatican, the land under its control glowed with a pale golden light.

The sickle will automatically search out and eliminate enemies, defiance and disobedience within its territory with a direct attack on the soul, being said to be powerful enough to wear down the souls of unauthorized intruders to the point of death - the approach of slaughtering all who don't convert being noted as a way to rule fitting Roman Mythology. This applies to anyone on and above the land within the sickle's territory - flying enemies will be struck as soon as they enter the air directly above the field. The effect is also applied to a certain extent underground, but if there is an underground structure which is not on the 'map' that is being used as the basis for the sickle's territory, it may escape the field's area-of-effect.

If one is asked to convert, the field will only trigger its deadly rejection if they give a clear 'no' - they are allowed to put off answering or say that are still thinking. In the case of Isabella Theism, who had gathered techniques relating to death from many cultures (including Greek and Roman Mythology), she did not need to convert to Roman Mythology as she already loved the associated death, but at the same time she also loved deaths of other cultures just as much. It is also possible for someone to escape the deadly attack by having another person rendering a fake or temporary death and reviving them outside of the field, as Isabella did by temporarily stopping Stiyl Magnus's heart with lime poison.
 * Unsorted Notes (Pt1)
 * Isabella gather all techniques relating to death, Greek/Roman mythologies no exception, already madly in love with death smelling of pomegranate, no need to convert, love other deaths just as much, far too much desire to remain faithful to just one
 * Establish powerful field - claim land, physically eliminate souls of any who disobey
 * Pt4 (aircraft trip)
 *  Can't escape field by flying to destination without touching ground - die as soon as enter air directly above field, only cover contiguous land and nearby island, not cover ocean, field trying to expand based on map and roll back too peak of Roman Empire, two weaknesses - ocean/time

When Albert successfully used the sickle in the Vatican, the Vatican's magical defenses prevented it from instantly taking over the Vatican's land, but the entire Italian Peninsula and all of Italy, including Sicily and its more remote islands, were swallowed up immediately. The field did not cover the sea between the mainland and the islands, though it was noted that this might have only been a temporary situation. After the sickle's activation and while its control was active, the Vatican's barriers were continually active and visible, as it resisted the sickle's influence from within and the pressure from the expanding territory surrounding it.
 * Unsorted Notes (Pt1)
 * How far spread, how much of world cut away with one strike, in boat, light on horizon, peninsula
 * Effective range past city/region
 * Entire Italian Peninsula, appear to include Sicily too, all of Italy, including more remote islands, lucky didn't include ocean between for now
 * Situation could be worse, next step - move back in time, Sickle stabbed into Rome, extent of control differs depending on era, if Tu alter settings to redefine territory as Roman Empire at peak, control all of Northern Africa and Eastern European nations like Romania, territory of ruin and subjugation reach France, Germany, England
 * Pt2
 * Agata: All of Europe's ley lines contaminated, unnatural tremor of plate movement detected, centre on Mt. Vesuvius and Etna, irregular but continuous, imagine plate moving opposite of normal, like time reversing, Sickle effective range reset to peak of Roman Empire, assume meant alter setting within spiritual item, not it??, Tu trying to redefine region of control to Pax Romana at beginning of CE era by altering position of crust determining flow of ley lines?
 * Not know about Vatican, Italy swallowed up immediately, no idea how well treacherous Alps acts as breakwater, France/Germany at risk, worst case - around 5 hours left if sit/wait, field of control probably cross Strait of Dover and engulf UK
 * Pt4 (aircraft trip)
 * Report from Stiyl/Isabella, sickle's "submit or die" field swallow Italian Peninsula, influence not left country, avoid field by staying in Mediterranean - narrow inland sea, all land pass glowing gold, boundary between land/sea clear, not limited to Italy anymore, change start in Italy, cross Alps, work into France, not tell beyond horizon probably happening to Germany too, current borders rewritten or based on older map?
 * Italian Peninsula engulfed in pale gold light, borders to sea plain even at night, witness - same awe as viewing religious artwork in great cathedral, Vatican still enshrouded in darkness - sickle hasn't taken over, blocked by another magical field, taking over rest of Italy to apply pressure from all sides to forcibly break through Christian field?
 * Pt5 (underground waterways)
 * Barrier only covers land for now, approach by sea without issue
 * Using map of ancient Rome's territory to determine when field goes, not interested in modern geography (e.g. underground), Rome old city with apartments/temples from centuries or over millennium ago, modern plumbing/subway system built by weaving in between ancient structures, Tu only looking at old surface maps, plenty of secret labyrinths not aware of
 * Approach as far as can by sea, use drain to enter underground route leading to Vatican, field's threat nothing in locations not on old maps of ancient Rome

Unsorted:
 * Pt2 (Agnese Forces in London church)
 * Can do it? Most control is Europe, not entire planet, if force plates to move backwards, distortion concentrate at point somewhere, not just return geography to 2000 years ago, land rise/fall all over place, tons of uncontrollable earthquakes, change flow of water veins/crude oil, matter of life/death, international war could occur, doubt cares
 * Goal destruction of Christian society, win - spread Roman mythology across western Europe, north Africa and parts of eastern Europe, not problem if unexpected cataclysm destroys Christian society as whole instead, not care how happens, if current world destroyed, power structure in place not last long
 * Tu not considering realistic problems, destruction all wanted, next not concern, almost too perfect incarnation of destruction, silently hide out of sight, carefully prepare plan, bring absolute tragedy, even if plan brought down by duplicity of bloodline investigator, feign calm long enough to recover/back on track, feel like machine design for one end, so calculated barely seem human
 * What to do, if sit/wait, field of control probably cross Strait of Dover and engulf UK, even if not, unnatural crust movement create cataclysm

 * Look straight up, unnatural aurora-like light in sky, collection of protective barriers covering Vatican, only brightly visible because working to fight Sickle
 * Between Governor's Palace and Fount of the Eagle, close to St. Peter's Basilica - covered in thick construction sheets and scaffolding in aftermath of Fiamma's attack, close to miracle restoration this far long already
 * Basilica might not be what looking for, less than 1km across - size of amusement park, search through everything if have to, Vatican - bound to have secret passageways/vaults, bet as many tricks/secrets as ancient Egyptian pyramid, enter Vatican with route not on official map, other secrets around, official map/diagram not enough
 * Vatican small - can cover whole place with high-level security, thoroughly search while not being spotted, not find priests/nuns, thorough search - deal with more difficult while strength to spare, first go to Basilica
 * Always want to visit so know more or less where everything is without having to check tourist site, blank spot, pathway connecting Basilica and Sistine Chapel, arrangement of many stone steps perfect for hiding facility not found on map
 * Oak - small Latin text carved, using magic probably backfire

Underground Chapel/monitoring room to be noted on St. Peter's Basilica, Principles 
 * Can't take easy way and use magic, multiple barriers might interfere and may track down, Vatican small - can cover whole place with high-level security, thoroughly search while not being spotted, not find priests/nuns, thorough search - deal with more difficult while strength to spare, first go to Basilica, all evacuate?, large door, always want to visit so know more or less where everything is without having to check tourist site, blank spot, pathway connecting basilica and Sistine Chapel, arrangement of many stone steps perfect for hiding facility not found on map, e.g. monitor room gather footage from security camera, press against wall next to double doors, focus ears, thick piece of oak - quiet click - computer, gamble, Angelene try to take up on offer and flee but Lucia hold, oak - small Latin text carved, using magic probably backfire, Christianity - type of curse, anathema, power to cut off rulebreakers from community, silver staff into crack between double doors, leverage to break lock and kick door in
 * Left/right walls covered in monitors, several collapsed on floor, no medicine more than for three, first aid kit/AED bag from wall, groan, unique dialect of German - Swiss Guard, habit - uninvited guest, not with him - all that matters, man in sit point to many monitors, approach wall, grab steel rack monitors connected to, push open like door, rectangular opening, stone stairway leading down - shelter, rest in hands, circulation of lifeforce weak to point of vanishing, normal treatment not save, abnormal, recovery magic give away position
 * Come despite risk to stop Tu, can't be distracted, plenty of enemies, old home not welcome with open arms and Anglicans upset for disobeying orders, could be interrupted at any time - need to hide presence, give into emotion and act without thinking mean fail, accept/understand but accept risk to save
 * Christianity - no shortage of legends about miraculous healing of injuries and sickness, one of 12 Apostles even used miracle to temporarily revive dead body so it could walk around once more
 * Christianity (Healing/ Apostles ), Healing Magic, Saint?
 * Bring dying Swiss Guard back to stable, monitor room - something like tape attached to edges of LCD screen, all turn red, noticed - look of mountain climber preparing for treacherous climb, both Vatican/Tu, look refresh - focus on just one problem, if chose to abandon for own safety - stick with and trip up when really matter
 * Race against time to take out Tu and destroy the Sickle before doom catches up
 * Pt7 (confronting Tu)
 * Descent: Stairs down from monitor room, stone spiral staircase down, single path - if attacked not escape to sides, spiral mean not see far down, might think better than straight stair with direct line of fire, meaningless with fire or poison gas, anything that fill entire space can pass curve with ease, intentional design, first goal of shelter - allow VIP to escape, second goal - eliminate approaching enemies, if anyone approach - reach door/destroy by force, wheel at ready, nothing happening, unwanted tranquility like over already, final step, large round metal door like bank vault door, light - open
 * Room: Space has hemispherical shape, even more than great hall prepared for choir - design to resist explosions or religion meaning? None of everyday necessities, no diamonds/gold bars/other emergency use assets, altar, pews, stain glass on walls despite being deep underground, giant cross, space a chapel - meant for use in combat, altar and stoup built into wall, seat of honour for lord of castle lot like chapels used to sanctify swords and such in Medieval European castles, in Vatican - seat of honour intentionally left empty, like castle chapel - part of giant building yet thick columns etc appear independent, because chapels like that designed to be opposite of castle's great hall, if Vatican single bivalve containing everything necessary for life, chapel like small crab inside shell, hidden within great cathedral and wholly independent, remain sacred mystery in and off self

Albert, Misc
 * Disc mistaken for pocket watch at first, palm wood.
 * Directions
 * Trick. Frame not part of spell, combat spiritual item generally so optimized that looks strange to untrained eye, unnecessary structure needlessly delaying. False hints to mislead opponents from the simple solution (simpler - less risk of malfunction)
 * Palm wood (religious symbol - acceleration spell)
 * Sweet smell (chemical - hallucination).
 * Divine name not immediately bring form of attack to mind like Mars/Jupiter

Sickle:
 * Blade not designed for offense using edge, meant to create controlling field around ground stabbed into, protecting from effect
 * Overwrite who control land, set up more convenient field, slice oneself, overwrite inner world of human body, tear down wall between micro inner world and macro outer world, wield magic unusable by mere humans
 * Create field of control over land, tear away inner world, body feels like distorting, imagine, possible with sickle

Albert Dying, Quotations
Note: Don't intend to use the whole lot below. Only going to select, trim and ready a select few (examples to illustrate Albert Dying's personality, motives and behaviour).

7-7:
 * "The current state of the world is the result of tragedy. The world has lost its core. The current age is ending. A culture that should have ended is stubbornly holding onto its former glory, mucking up the entire system. The only course of action is to hit the reset button. The time has come to destroy Christian culture starting with the Vatican.”
 * (response to nothing but a dreamer) “Maybe so. But imperfect though we are, humanity can only decline if we do not strive for perfection. Even formless dreams have the power to change reality. And only those who know how to wield them carry the power to change the world." "If there is anything you want to do, you need only make the attempt. The possibility lies hidden even in you.”
 * “We have reached the finale. This has already ended. You showed up too late to change anything, but if you do interfere, the responsibility will still fall on you.” “[..], you will only be harming yourself and those you care for. Even you must be aware that this world is imperfect. Humanity has not achieved equality. But at the same time, no one is at fault for that.” [...] “Everyone hopes to bring about an age of peace, but no one has managed it. There are no villains there. There is no single person you can defeat to end it. So we must stir up that stagnation from a position beyond morality. The time has come, so we must act.” 
 * “No individual could have arrived at the truth of this, so you too must have companions. Are they friends from your hometown who were thrust down into the depths of hell along with you? Or are they the foreign saviors who took you in knowing the burden it would be?” “What do you even gain by solving this case?” “Those using you are not even being intentionally malicious, but with each new job, you will be worn down and broken a little more. Do you intend to continue this until you inevitably collapse? I said I am approaching this from a position beyond morality, but that means I think everyone should have an equal opportunity.” “You could always find a way to transfer back to the Catholics, but even then, you would still be outsiders. Once great chaos rocks Christianity, everyone will be vying for the positions of power. And when you know a catastrophe is coming, you can make sure you are ready. Yes, you are a weak group, but you can outdo the rest if you make sure you have a head start. Ally yourself with the chaos and you can name the new denomination.”
 * “You will not be borrowing power from anyone else. You will not be letting others use you while you are in no position to protest. Use the coming struggle for power and you can overthrow all those who would keep you down. You can become your own independent power. But to do that, the time to act is now.” “Surely.” “No one is at fault, but surely you feel powerless as you watch your companions fall. Don’t you hate to see how weak you are? But you can still save them. You can save them and prove you were right all along.”

8-1:
 * “Fine then.” “Then this shall be a duel. We are both disposable pawns bound to a particular mythology or religion. We shall wear down our lives for a temporary thrill and to the victor go the spoils. I have no problem with that.”
 * “During the Roman age, it was Roman mythology. During the Christian age, it was Christianity. I blend in with the victor of the current age to keep myself safe and protect myself. Just like someone dressing in all the latest fashions and throwing out piles of usable clothing each season. Not even I know the answer. All I can do is line up endless ‘theories’ that no one can prove correct or not.” “The same applies to what I am using here.” “This is not what we had initially hoped to pass down. As the many mythologies and religions mixed together, the original forms were entirely lost. But I will still win. I will survive. The Guild will always view the world from the side of the winners.” 
 * “Ha ha ha. You help the pope after doing nothing for your friends?” “You did the right thing. If I pry open the pope’s chest here, no one can stop the spread of the Sickle’s field. But that also proves that people are not equal under your system. Thank you. Your bravery has shown me that this era must be destroyed.” “Now, a question: are people still equal?” “Then I’ll keep at it until they are equal.”

8-2:
 * (I have plenty of needles. If I can convince her that I can only use one of a few options, then my next move can take her by surprise.) (Now, what is your battle plan?) (If she thinks I was simply defeating them one at a time, then she will die next time. Keeping a set distance to fire projectiles creates a blind spot right in front of you. But protecting that old man does not restrict her quite enough. If I want to move in close enough, I should wear down her stamina a little further. I will wait two or three more moves.)
 * (Wait.) (Outside my “battle plan”? You mean I too was narrowing my view with one of those?)
 * (You assume anything I use will be another projectile. Narrowing your vision like that creates a short-range blind spot. I will use your own battle plan to kill you. I will emerge victorious here and I will remain forever victorious!!)

8-3:
 * “I…” “I will win. I must always be winning. I will do…do anything to ensure it.” “This isn’t…this isn’t over!! No one ever protected me, so I had to protect myself. Do you have any idea how hard it is to always be winning? I came all this way because I couldn’t allow a single loss, so…so I…!!”

Principles TSP (Saint as a religious title):

Following Idol Theory, the stories and symbols of saints are used for a variety of spells and spiritual items. Some objects, held to be physical remains or personal effects of saints, are considered holy s (遺物) and believed to hold power.

Saints are often subjects of religious artwork and sculpture, with some of them designed for magical effect. For example, St. Peter's Square has 140 saint statues overlooking the grounds which keep the plaza under strict magical security. Numerous churches and cathedrals around the world are named after or dedicated to saints.

s (守護聖人) are saints who are said to advocate or be associated with a place, group, activity, symbol or other subject, often related to the stories of their life, feats and fate. The magical method known as Ex Voto uses patron saints as intermediates for prayer when asking the Son of God for miracles. Archangel Michael is considered as patron saint as well as an angel.
 * (Symbol of persecution) 6-7, (Ex Voto) 7-4, (Michael) 7-9, 7-11, Necessarius 5-5 (Andrew/lightning)

Background, No TSP: Early Christianity and Martyrdom, Official acceptance and onwards

Chronology TSP:

While dealing with the incidents instigated by the Guild, Agnese Sanctis, Lucia and Angelene made use of various spells based on saints, and also discussed subjects related to them,    such as the martyrdom of early saints in the days of the Roman Empire,  and how some saints and parts of their stories were invented or assimilated from elsewhere.

Table TSP: (exclude St./Saint from St./Saint Names in Saint column cells) These are some of the historical figures who have held the title 'Saint'. The stories surrounding them form the basis for various spells in the series.
