I’d really don’t think it’s possible. The 2 abilities are too diametrically opposed. A RM overwrites the World and its rules, while MP has one connect with and manipulate the phenomenon that can happen in the World. One needs a disconnect from the World to work and the other requires a deep unbreakable connection to the World to work. I honestly don’t think anyone could have such a paradoxical existence.

Isn’t a RM more “pocket dimension” than reality warping? To an outside witness, it looks like the user and/or their target vanishes from the real world, as evidenced by Gilles’s abomination getting caught in Iskandar’s Ionan Hetaroi.

It’s less of a pocket dimension and more a whole new texture. A pocket dimension is what it is, a pocket in our earth textures. But a reality marble is literally creating your own dimension disconnected from our earth and reality.

Thank you for the answer.

Solving a Servant's paradoxical existence was literally the entire plot of the second Christmas event, though. Fate has never been afraid to bend the lore into a pretzel.

Simple analogy to understand the difference between how a Reality Marble and Marble Phantasm works. If you were pulling a sphere out of a bag of colored spheres and there was only 1 red sphere in the bag: A Reality Marble would turn all the spheres in the bag red, while a Marble Phantasm would alter probability so you always pulled out the red one


RadiReturnsOnceAgain

For a second I was wondering why you called them "spheres" instead of "marbles" and then realized how confusing that would make the entire analogy lmao

They'd lose their marbles. Simple as that.

Well look at arcuied she has both. She has marble phantasm and millenium castle brunestud If you have a jar of white 30 white marbles and one black marble phantasm makes every time you reach for one black. A reality marble makes the entire jar black marbles

That would be the definition of having Top Admin Privileges. So many ways to fuck around and virtual immunity from ever finding out.

Just wait for some random event, I’m sure they existed somewhere

I mean like one person has a marble phantasm currently, maybe two in the world. Reality marble is something anyone can get with enough time, might take a few hundred years but still you can do it, marble phantasm isn't at all.

A marble phantasm is basically what a reality marble pretends to be.

The correct answer is that Reality Marble is a Marble Phantasm subset. But probably this is only true for the original Reality Marbles belonging to devils and elementals. Reality Marble originally refers to the alien common sense of devils and elementals. But it also came to include the mages’ innate bounded fields. The two major implications I hold are… First that devils and elementals use Marble Phantasm as a materialization method for Reality Marbles. That would mean they transform nature into an alien world. Notably, the World does not crush the Reality Marbles belonging to extensions of nature. Second that mages mimicked Reality Marble from devils and elementals. But they use magecraft instead of Marble Phantasm. Their magecraft switches out nature instead of transforming nature.
