It has come to my attention that Medea's profile is like
really bad
A lot of the F/SN profiles are not great so this is gonna be the first step to fixing them. With that in mind, most of Medea's powers are horribly lacking in scans, and 80% of her stuff is just outright missing. So, uh... let's fix that, shall we! Here's what her ability list should look like, with included justifications:
Sandbox for her new page is here:

So, that's the biggest part of all this done. As for Archer, his Caladbolg II gains a massive upgrade, as it can twist higher-dimensional space and bypass Conceptual barriers. Also, he should get limited Spatial Manipulation on his regular arrows, as he was able to shatter Caster's Bounded Field with them, breaking into the parallel world (Scan is the same one as Medea's water manip, just watch a little further into the video).
really bad
A lot of the F/SN profiles are not great so this is gonna be the first step to fixing them. With that in mind, most of Medea's powers are horribly lacking in scans, and 80% of her stuff is just outright missing. So, uh... let's fix that, shall we! Here's what her ability list should look like, with included justifications:
- Resistance Negation + Resistance to Power Nullification: The spells that Medea possesses are capable of one-shotting and functioning on Servants with A-Rank magic resistance, such as Archer while wielding Kanshou and Bakuya, paralyzing Archer past his D-Rank resistance (which does have a cancelling effect rather than just a lessening one), and freezing Saber in a similar spell later on.
- Energy Manipulation, Energy Projection, Light Manipulation, and Danmaku: Okay, seriously, how does Medea not have these already? Her main method of attacking is Rain of Light, which is all of those things. Additionally, in Fate/Unlimited Codes, she's shown the ability to use other types of energy attacks, such as a big orb that chases foes and smaller energy bullets.
- Limited Conceptual Manipulation: Medea's Argos shield is stated to utilize a "Concept of Shield". She can also bypass conceptual barriers to use her magic in places such as inside Blood Fort Andromeda.
- Disease Manipulation: The Aero spell allows Medea to manipulate plague winds.
- Density Manipulation: Changed the density of air around Saber to trap her in a membrane of air.
- Water Manipulation: She can form her dragon tooth soldiers out of Water, as shown in the UBW Anime (Using abridged footage for the sake of actually being able to link to footage).
- Darkness Manipulation/Camouflage: Medea can coat herself in magical energy, turning into a shadow that can hide her presence. She tried to use this to escape from Gilgamesh, albeit to no avail.
- limited Duplication: She can create duplicates of people, such as creating a false copy of Rider in the UBW anime, or creating shadowy duplicates of herself. However, duplicates of others don't appear to have the same abilities; The fake Rider only used her chains against Saber and was easily killed.
- Thread Manipulation and Body Puppetry: Medea can create threads of mana that force the affected to move according to how she wishes, preventing them from even screaming. The threads are shown in the UBW anime, as well as binding Saber's wrists in the light novel.
- Power Nullification/Absorption: Medea's cloak is able to nullify and absorb magic energy, doing so against Rin's Jewel Magic.
- limited Higher-Dimensional Manipulation and Dimensional Travel: Medea's teleportation is stated to work by pulling the target out of the third dimension and through multiple other dimensions, before dropping them back down in their original dimension in a different location.
- Illusion Creation and Sense Manipulation: Medea can cast powerful illusions and trap people inside their own mind with them. She can also manipulate their senses; Atrum Galliasta didn't realize he was burning to a crisp even as his body was actively on fire. There are other feats for this in the VN, such as making Shirou blind, but I don't havethe scans for them.
- Summoning: Once again on her page, but it needs better justifications. She can summon her Dragon Tooth Warriors, which should get Inorganic Physiology, Elemental Intangibility (Exclusive to the water ones), Immortality (Type 7, exclusive to the bone ones), Large Size (Type 0, exclusive to the large dragon one from Episode 5 of UBW) and Weapon Mastery, as well as summon giant pancakes like Medea Lily can.
- Paralysis Inducement: Shown in both the Visual Novel and Unlimited Codes. She can easily create magic circles that can restrain Saber despite her magic resistance, as well as bind people like Gilgamesh and other servants with Magic Resistance in Unlimited Codes.
- Curse Manipulation: She can surround people with a curse that stops them from being able to move around in Fate/Unlimited Codes.
- Preparation: On her page, but unjustified. All casters rely on preparation due to their Item Construction and Territory Skills, and Medea in particular can create a "Temple", which is superior to a Workshop. I'll also split her abilities into things performable with and without prep. Those things include:
- Immortality and Supernatural Luck: As listed on her page, the things Medea can create include Good Luck Charms and a variety of Potions, including ones that grant Immortality.
- Mind Manipulation: In a bad ending, she destroyed Shirou's mind.
- Transmutation: Medea can turn people into inanimate objects, such as when she turned Shirou into a wand in a bad ending.
- Forcefield Creation, Duplication of locations and Spatial Manipulation: Medea can create bounded fields which are separate spaces from the normal world, and damage that occurs inside them doesn't matter to the real world, as shown in the UBW anime.
- Soul Manipulation: Medea can create bounded fields that stop spirits from entering save for through a single place, such as when she formed a barrier in Ryuudou Temple that stopped servants from being able to enter anywhere through the front gates. She can also absorb souls given prep, as is already listed on her page.
- Statistics Reduction: The bounded fields Medea creates weaken servants and their Noble Phantasms, as confirmed in Dengeki Hime - Type Moon Double Maniax. It was even able to interfere with Archer's innate sniping abilities, which is why he was forced to fight Assassin in a battle of swordsmanship.
- Power Nullification: In the same quote as listed above, Medea's defensive barrier is also an Anti-Sorcery one, nullifying magic as a whole.
- Weather Manipulation: Shown in the same scan as Water Manipulation. The bounded field she created had a rainstorm going on inside it despite it being a sunny day in the real world.
- Enhanced Summoning: Caster would have been able to summon the Colchis dragon with a proper ritual, but doesn't have the means to control it, according to her conversation with Atrum Galliasta. She also was able to summon Assassin by messing with the Grail and getting access to false Command Seals.
- Fragrance Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Biological Manipulation, Poison Manipulation, Sleep Manipulation, Soul Manipulation: She developed a Witch's Incense, a gaseous poison that could kill people or otherwise leave them comatose, something which was attributed to Gas Leaks by non-mages, and was the way she stole people's souls in the UBW route. Archer described it as something that "Destroys love and leaves men impotent"
