Seventh Holy Scripture [Weapon name]
...
Unable to hold herself back, she set about improving it, and because of that the Scripture's elemental ended up having the essence of its personality warped.
Before Ciel remodeled it, it was only effective against spiritual entities. Now, however, it has been transformed into a lump of iron that can pound a vampire to death with its physical attack power alone. It has a gross weight of 60 kilograms, and a maximum weight of twice that with optional attachments. It's a… Gatling scripture!?
It never had any intention of being a weapon against anything corporeal before Ciel made into the ''lump of iron'' version it became.
Spirits and Souls are very different things. Why something affecting spiritual creatures would need to affect Souls? It's like saying a exorcism ritual/ Kirei's Kyrie Eleison should have also affect him.
It's not even an interpretation... It's said as far back as in the original Fate/Stay Night that the consumption of Souls as Magical Energy is a ''prerrogative of Spiritual Beings'' and similar beings, like the very beast the Seventh Scripture was made out of, a Unicorn IIRC, something along those lines. Darnic, from his interaction with Servants, developed a way to consume the souls - was it as life force/od/magical energy? does the human body count as a ''Dying Agent" for magical energy? did he forgot magical energy is dyed by the place it's stored, also known since FSN, said by RIn? - but it was risky and basically asking for something to go wrong given he was a living human and the Soul and Body exist as two complementary parts.
The only straightforward thing that seems to be ignored is that the process requires Kiara's Code Cast before the whole Beast thing, and Code Casts are computer programs, not material objects.
It was repeated ad nauseaum that ''only one person'' ever understood the Soul, also. Many things around this topic may very well be wrong, we even have two descriiptions of the ''relationship between the soul and the body'' that are one the opposite of the other..
Why are you creating such a round-about way of talking about this ''type of attack/defense'', that is not even necessary in the first place, because the Nasuverse has Conceptual Weapons, that include exactly things that affect the Soul in it's scope? Or better yet, give me one clear example of the Soul being targetted and this attack failing because of the Body or the Mind/Brain. The only thing anywhere near this is like Material Bodies being the preference in Servant fights because without them their Cores are ''exposed'' (and wouldn't be correct because they still have Spiritual Bodies when exposed like this), but I believe you are talking about Humans/Magus, not Servants.
