Congratulations! The Holy Grail has selected you as the servant CASTER in the Holy Grail War! As a Servant, here is the information your character will receive upon waking:

There is an omnipotent wish-granting device called the Holy Grail present in the city, which has summoned them to fight as Servants for it. Six of their fellow Servants must be killed in order for the Holy Grail to be obtained and the winners will be granted a wish.

They will know all seven classes of servants: Archer, Assassin, Berserker, Caster, Lancer, Rider, and Saber, and that each servant has a set of special attacks called Noble Phantasms.

They will also be aware that this is an omnipotent wish granting device, not the Holy Grail that caught the blood of Christ.

They will know that have been transformed into a Servant. This means they have full knowledge of their stats (Personal skills, Class skills and Noble Phantasms too!), and that they need a Master to supply them mana so that they can remain manifested in the world and fight.

They will be made aware that various attacks in their repertoire will require different levels of mana, which also will encourage them to find a Master - and fast, because getting caught without support or a supply of mana is not something they would want happening to them now, would they?

They will be able to shift from a manifested physical form into an invisible spirit form - the latter of which is less taxing on a master and helps to preserve magic energy.

Failure to promptly find a Master will cause their energy to run out, and they will fade away rapidly and die. All Servants, excluding those in the Archer class, will have one day to locate a Master. The Archer class servants will have three days.

All servants will know that the three red markings on the back of a master’s hands are command seals. Command seals can be activated by masters to give absolute orders to their servants - overriding the servant’s free will in the process. It is definitely up to your servant character to decide to share this piece of information.

Servants will be aware that they will be restored to regular state when the war ends. Whenever that is.

Please keep an eye out for the plotting post, which will go up soon. There, we do ask that you find a master-mun to partner up with. Let us know who your team will consist of, so that we can update the team roster accordingly.

Let us know if you have any comments, questions, and concerns.

Thank you, and we’ll see you on 29 September when we get under way.
