It contains all of the raw materials and sorcery needed for the formation of the weapons, and it records and analyzes all weapons and defensive armaments encountered by the user. The Reality Marble's purpose is a steel manufacturing factory that produces the countless famous swords that are without their owners, extending into the horizon.
The reflection of this inner world symbolizes how lifeless Shirou's being has become by losing everything he had, yet still choosing to disregard himself and the lives of others for a single person's happiness, with the moon representing his connection with Miyu.
The version of Miyu's brother is a dark winter scenery with blowing snow, the innumerable stuck swords give the impression of the mountain of corpses, with no stars or roads, and whose only light is the moon in the sky providing faint illumination. If their perspectives are to interact, such as when Shirou obtains Archer's arm, he is able to utilize the recorded knowledge of stored weapons, but is unable to actualize the Reality Marble due to the difference in their internal worlds. Shirou's version is bathed in twilight from the extended horizon, while Archer's version has its view opaqued by a thick haze formed from embers and wisps of black smog rising from the ground, produced by the forging of iron. Shirou is able to realize his version upon deciding that his ideals and dreams, while borrowed, flawed, and hypocritical, are still worth striving for and upholding. Archer's is formed from the basis of having been betrayed by everything, including by his own ideals, and in the end having only been granted this one single spell. The reflection of this inner world depends on their state of mind and their experiences in life, which means that they are completely different and incompatible with each other. It is the final illusion Archer saw on the verge of death, the only pride left within himself, and it is where Shirou makes his vow to uphold his ideals during the Unlimited Blade Works route. The basis for the world in the Reality Marble is a hill of swords that spreads infinitely in their minds. It is a world likened to a steel mill, filled with weapons, flames, and giant gears. It is a kingdom of rubble littered with thousands, perhaps a countless number, of swords anchored in the ground like grave markers in a wasteland, yet are well preserved. The bright light fills the vision of those present, and manifests an open, barren desert with monolithic black gears gyrating in the distance. Once the incantations have been completed, an illusionary fire that does not emit any heat spreads out to form a boundary and wall for the Bounded Field. The first line is often used in order to strengthen a projection, such as with Archer's use of Caladbolg II and Shirou's use of Rho Aias. The lines of the incantation can be said at any time without requiring preparation, and Archer is able to stop between lines to speak and then resume without issue. Their chants differ slightly due to the different experiences in their respective lives. Shirou describes it as a suggestion to change himself and the words that will " connect Shirou Emiya".
It is close to a " Ten-Count" aria, using a poem about the caster as the basis, a sorrowful elegy in EMIYA's case, used to activate greater magecraft. It is the definite answer obtained by someone whose life was saved by a sword, actually merged and lived with a sword, and acted as a sword all of his life.īoth Archer and Shirou use an incantation to facilitate the invocation of the Reality Marble. It is their one true specialization of magecraft, the result of " Sword" being both their Origin and their Elemental Affinity, and the basis of their projection and reinforcement skills.
It is a high-class thaumaturgy that embodies their internal worlds and imprints them upon the World as a Bounded Field for a short amount of time. EMIYA does not have a true Noble Phantasm that is the crystallized embodiment of a hero's existence like many demonic or holy swords, but if a Noble Phantasm is considered to be a symbol of the Heroic Spirit, then the Reality Marble is his Noble Phantasm. Unlimited Blade Works: Infinite Creation of Swords ( 無限の剣製 ( アンリミテッドブレイドワークス ), Mugen no Kensei ( Anrimiteddo Bureido Wākusu ) ?, localized as "Universe of Endless Blades") is the Reality Marble of Shirou Emiya and the Noble Phantasm of the Heroic Spirit EMIYA and his Fate/EXTRA counterpart.
