Something that's been just bugs me for a while. What's the difference between mana and prana?

While we're in the topic of questions what happened to Berserk's extra credits after saber and shirou attacked him with caliburn.

They They killed several of his lives at the same time. No, it doesn't make any sense.

It's OK, "reversal of causality" gave me an idea of how lax my suspension of disbelief had to be.

It's a weird feeling, I am perfectly able to accept 'put your hands together, shout, enjoy', but I needed lots of mayonnaise to swallow the justifications here, it was kind of an Uncanny Valley reaction.

What's the difference between mana and prana?

One's ambient, and you generate the other within yourself. I can't remember which one's which.

IIRC Mana is ambient, but didn't the other have a different name? with an "o" somewhere?

So... I've just started UBW. So far, the opening is much better than the one for Fate, and that has nothing to do with the fact that it features a fight between Archer and Lancer. I've also noticed the presence of that strict professor guy, I wonder if he'll be of relevance.

Lancer gets a lot more characterization imo in UBW. He is awesome. Archer created gar and Unlimited _____ Works but lancer has GAE BOLG!

To be honest, with an immoral enough master, Lancer would be pretty broken, even without all those flashy weapons and abilities that Saber, Archer and GIRUGAMESH! have.

They're all pretty broken, it must be said. This is part of the Nasuverse's problem; nearly everybody has some kind of nifty get-out clause or 11th-Hour Superpower that negates any rule of the verse previously stated and can be used only once in suspiciously specific circumstances...

lancer has GAE BOLG!

It only works on like, one person, though. >_<

Yes, blah blah blah filler to pad out length of spoiler.

the thing is, they are usually a last resort, given it's low mana consumption, he could get cheap and start spamming gayballs on his opponent's masters.

Also, I assume the spoilers confirm that, yes, that professor has some relevance, even if it's small.

Lancer is one of my favorite characters. You ask me, he oozes even more cool than Archer.

And I haven't seen anything of Hollow Ataraxia, but I already think Bazett's awesome. I would totally pay for a story featuring the two of them- such as one where Kotomine wasn't such a huge dick, and she and Lancer fought in the war proper.

I need to try Hollow Ataraxia at some point.

That said, yes. Lancer SHOULD by all rights be able to just flat-out kill most masters in very quick succession. Unfortunately he's a Honor Before Reason kind of guy.

That is because you are.

This obviously means that FSN will take over the forums, soon we'll have avatar themes and "who would beat who" derails in every thread!

Well, the article is pretty damn long compared to other anime, except maybe for the When They Cry series whose pages are around that length, IIRC.

At least more people will know about Fate, and Archer's identity is everyone's sled.

Actually, Wicked doesn't know that, because his is a completely blind playthrough. He hasn't even read the wiki article on FSN.

Great, now we're going have "FSN Hijack LOL!" as well as...no, let's not start that here.

I did read that, but I took it with a grain of salt, so...

Seriously? Wicked doesn't know Archer is Shirou? If so, I am completely shocked and will need my daily dose of GAR *goes off to watch a few fight scenes in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha*

It's in blue text, so he can take it with a grain of salt too. Oh wait...

Spoilered now.

EDIT: The hell? Coloured text pierces spoilers. Look:
