there is actually another weakness to GD and even FS has the same flaw , they both need high amounts of psion's. and yes before you say it tat's has a high psion count but they(FS/GD) waste
a lot of it nonetheless.
in a battle aganst someone with a high psion count or a large group of persons ( an army) somthing like wasting resources (psion's) is a no go .

I hope that the whole objective of tats and tomitsukas fight is to him develop a magic that solves that problem.
Athough it was a stupid fight, if tomitsukas psion cloud situation ends up being used for tats developing non sistematic magic that makes groups of psions expand and disagroup i think it was a rather necessary fight. If you remember the fight tats was actually trying to expand the psion cloud and then in this vol, according to the spoilers there was a sollution for tomitsuka's zero range called something blast. As it was probably tats that developed it for him it would be normal for him to be able to at least blast activation sequences and maybe magic sequences (blast meaning to make the psion sequence expand and desagregate).

[Kokus]

@diocar
you are right about the fact that the psion armor would be a good defensive option for tat's but it still loses in comperisson to GDispersion .
the psion armor (or contact type GD) is uneffective against magics wich target objects/surroundings and thus indirectly effect tat's as seen in the fight against tomitsuka .
well as long as he has to hide his gramm dispersion it would be a fairly good technique for tatsuya nonetheless.(might be nice if he could do it for school battles or the like, but it is rater unlikely that he will learn/use it.)

Do you think it would work against Fumiya's Mental Interference Magic? If it does that would make Tomitsuka quite the trump card for Monolith Code... With some help from Tatsuya he would be Hax as a defender I think... 1st high isn't out of the game yet... If they even feature 9SC for 3rd year, though I sincerely doubt things will be that peaceful then..

[Echizen777]

FS is a psion bullet so it's long range, he targeted USNA soldiers like that. FS doesn't cancel magic like the Gram spells he never did something like that. Tatsuya and his father have probably the highest Psion count in the world but since Tomi can use GD continuously it must be high as well. Idk why you think he found a magic to beat his armor though. GD is the ultimate counter magic, he just needs to continuously break it, it's not as if Tomitsuka was invincible. Tatsuya himself is BS so create a new magic that he will be able to use efficiently to beat GD is impossible. GD isn't a magic which can be beaten like that.

[Kokus]

first thing about FS (straight out of the mahouka wiki)

Far Strike is a form of Gram Demolition developed by Tatsuya, but it works on the Information Dimension rather than the physical realm. It is a compressed psion bullet that targets not only Activation Sequences but the spell caster as well. It was designed specifically to target the Parasites from the Visitor Arc.

second thing
@kazakiri
that heavily depends on the question "where is the soul ?"
inside the body ? in the information dimension ?

the other question is got it stated somewere which magic fumiya used ?
poisonous bee or some kind of different magic ? as far as i remember isn't p-bee suposed to amplify the pain the opponent feels?(wouldn't something like that be to risky(we already know it can kill)/ against certain moral code's (for example the one why ichihara isn't ichihana animore..)

(ps sorry about the whole bunch of qustion in there ^^°)

[Diocar]

I never said that tats should use the psion armor lol. I said that he could develop a technique for expanding a group of psions, because as seen in tomitsuka's fight he can t decompose psions If they aren t organized in some way. Besides, during the fight his objective was to expand tomi's psion cloud, so after some time training he could have achieved it.
And btw, tomitsuka's psion cloud should protect him from any direct magical attack on his body, including Fumiya's Mental Interference magic as long as the pressure/concentration of psions in his armor is enough to counter the magic sequence.

Haven t we talked about FS and GD? Anyways they are both psion bullets the only diference is that FS hits the targets through the information dimension and GD not. And FS has been used against activation sequences, i am just not sure If it has been used against magic sequences, but i can t think of a reason why it shouldn t work. Can you?
Another thing, i was talking about tats using oscilatory non sistematic magic like he used in the fight. The only diference is that now the magic would actually have a significant effect instead of expanding the psion cloud only a little. And If you read the fight with tomitsuka, the fact that the armor actually expands is proof it is possible to at least blast tomi's GD by expanding his armor.

Actually Poisoned Bees is described as 'Sensory Interference Magic' instead of 'Mental Interference Magic', whether it's a translation error or not who knows really..

Spoiler for Suzune's Magic:

"I can numb your muscles and nervous system at will. For a time, your bodies cannot move freely."

As she said, no matter how they tried to budge a muscle, their hands and feet were unable to consciously move.

"Magic that directly interfered with the human body was once forbidden. The very nature of this magic was essentially a form of human experimentation, hence it was forbidden on the surface. The disadvantage is that this requires a certain amount of time to activate, but your ceaseless tirade certainly proved to be a huge help. Oh yes, speaking of which, your verbosity had nothing to do with magic. You were simply too careless."

If we are to interpret that as 'Sensory Interference' being different from 'Mental Interference' it becomes even more complicated.

Also I doubt Fumiya would actually use 'Poisoned Bees' in the 9SC. It's either a scaled down version or something quite different.

Spoiler for Grim Reaper:

Genzou's magic was "Grim Reaper". It was the type of mind manipulation magic that implanted a specific image in the victim's mind. That image was "death". To the victim who had been given a premonition of death, the display of a symbol of that image was strong suggestive magic. It did not matter if the first image was only an arbitrary one. Direct or indirect contact made no difference, time and distance were also not barriers. As long as the victim was able to recall that image, a suggestion could be amplified a thousandfold to affect even the flesh.

Aside from ridding one's own memory of the image, any kind of protection was meaningless. Adversaries who met Genzou killed themselves off in the second encounter. In order for this magic "Grim Reaper" to activate, a direct meeting with the victim was necessary. For the magic to be completed, Genzou had to be aware of his foe and his foe had to be aware of him. Being plunged into your own personal valley of death was the first effect of this magic.

Spoiler for Poisoned Bees:

The magic Mitsugu used to bury the vampires was of his own devising. Bearing the tasteless name "Poisoned Bees" that he applied himself, it was a sensory interference spell that increased the target’s pain perception infinitely until death. In this regard, if the target was someone who had a high pain threshold and was able to employ Counter Magic before the shock led to death then the spell would unravel, and there wasn’t any effect on opponents who could cut off their pain sensors. In terms of killing power, this paled in comparison to the "Reaper’s Blade" created by his uncle, Yotsuba Genzou, the head of the Yotsuba Family two generations ago. The mutters that leaked out of his mouth showed that Mitsugu was aware of this himself.

Still, it was premature to say that "Poisoned Bees" was magically inferior to "Reaper’s Blade". The greatest advantage to "Poisoned Bees" was its ability to finish an opponent with the tiny prick of a pin. On the other hand, "Reaper’s Blade" required personal delivery to ensure death, leaving behind wounds on a corpse and blood splatter everywhere. In comparison, "Poisoned Bees" would only leave behind a nondescript wound that would be hard to link to the cause of death. When faced with a victim of "Poisoned Bees", the initial assumption would be poison, then maybe death by suffocation, but the corpse would leave behind no evidence to support either hypothesis. For assassination purposes, "Poisoned Bees" was superb magic.

Another asset to "Poisoned Bees" was that this magic wasn’t restricted to Mitsugu alone. Unlike most sensory interference magic, "Poisoned Bees" had an Activation Sequence that wasn’t caster specific with a well streamlined process. In short, even Magicians other than Mitsugu were capable of using this magic. Naturally, this would require a degree of acclimation, but now all of the Kuroba agents employed "Poisoned Bees" as their trump card.

[Echizen777]

Yes, he used it on activation sequences, everybody can do this to stop an attack. FS is an invisible psion bullet even thiugh it's another form of GD the effects are too different. I am not sure GD armor can block Mental magic, they work with Pushion I think.

Spoiler for Volume 1 Psions and Pushions:

Psion were particle manifestations of intention and thought, while Pushion could be thought of as particle manifestations of the emotions brought about by intention and thought. (A pity that this was still at a hypothetical stage.)

Spoiler for Volume 9 Pushions and Brain:

"We USNA magic researchers believe that the brain is not an independent thinking organ; the real thinking core is the Pushion Information Body; the brain’s role is to receive the information sent from the so-called 'mind', and the communication organ transmits the information of the body to the mind. Although still in the theoretical stage, the possibility is very high."

Spoiler for Parasites Magic:

Magic was something released from the pushions floating in the Idea’s seas.

These are the easily understood definitions of Pushions I can find in all 12 volumes

As again the spoilers may be confusing, but then Parasites can't live without Pushions. That's the reason they need a Human Host. If Pushions are related to emotion as was stated in volume 1 it would explain Pixie's link to Honoka, and the reason for the colors of 'Spirits' in SB magic.

Spoiler for Parasites:

It originally didn’t belong to this world, nor did it come to this world of its own free will.

It possessed the intrinsic quality that was naturally drawn by strong pushion wave motions.

Euphoria, despair, hatred, and hope.

Practically on the level of prayer, the cravings for pushion wave motions drew it through the momentary fluctuation in the "barrier" from the immaterial world to a physical one.

Thanks to the shock from passing through the barrier, it had split into twelve portions and dwelt inside the humans who beckoned them over.

In order to survive, it was forced to continuously ingest pushions. So long as it existed, there would be an endless stream of pushions leaking away.

However, in this physical world, it was unable to gather pushions independently. Without merging with a physical form that was capable of gathering pushions, there was no way to obtain any more.

After repeatedly using its power while still in its basic form, much of its energy reserves gathered since arriving in this physical world had been lost. On top of this, after being immersed in a high pressure stream of psions, the portion that enabled it to invade the physical dimension had largely been shorn away. With it, much of the psions were gone as well. In order to survive, pushions were absolutely vital, but with insufficient psions, interfering with the physical world would become difficult.

Its actual body was not capable of high level cognitive thinking. Given that it was the result of the magnified reflections of its hosts’ suppressed impulses, it was nothing more than a monster. There was only enough cognition within that body to plot survival. Even so, even its limited cognition was aware that in its currently enfeebled state, passing through the barrier of consciousness to obtain a new host was highly difficult.

It needed a place to rest. A location that was meaningless, save for its large congregation of pushions.

While the target maybe a 'Pushion Information Body' it doesn't change the fact that magic uses psions.

Spoiler for Psions and Parasites:

There was no trace that an Activation Sequence was involved. Regardless of whether it was the electric ball or force that applied the rotational motion, both were phenomenon alterations that resulted from Magic Sequences forged by psions.

By using the phenomenon alterations in the air that caused electrons to converge as a premonition, they barely managed to hold out against the attacks that could appear from anywhere.

Again, there was no sign of a Magician. At the very least, they weren’t within Tatsuya’s "vision". Given that they could elude Tatsuya’s "vision", their opponent was no Magician.

(So this is a Parasite!)

Magic was something released from the pushions floating in the Idea’s seas.

Even though magic was released by the Pushions (The thinking core) it still had to use Psions (Thought and Intention)

Far strike

Spoiler for quote from volume 11 chapter 13:

In his left hand, he created the basic form of the compressed psion bullet, Far Strike, that he had been furiously training. Not only did he target the developing Activation Sequence, but mercilessly included the caster as well.

Tatsuya saw the Activation Sequence shatter into pieces.

Though the enemy Magicians were able to deflect the psion backlash, the damage suffered from the psion bullet rendered them unable to prepare the next spell.

so no it has same effect as normal GD and much more.

Basically tatsuya is quite resistant to kuroba magic since his pain threshold is probably insane because of his regrowth magic

GD is just one of his counter magics, he uses it for his cover most of the time. Don't get me wrong GD is very powerful and would be more useful in single combat especially the far strike variantbut when dealing with numbers, he has gram dispersion which is far more effective then GD and can target a lot more sequences at the same time and its cost in psions is negligible compared to his psion count.

Far strike didn't actually counter Tomitsukas GD armor though. Tomitsuka cast that puppet spell to improve his physical abilities, and the puppet spell was vulnerable to Far Strike, when Tatsuya used Far strike to blow that away, it knocked Tomitsuka out.

Far Strike didn't pierce the GD armor so much as it bypassed it, and it was only used because the puppet spell resembled the Parasites possesion.

However Mental Magic is also an Outer-Systematic and can be dispelled by Counter Magic.
For example Mitsugu's Poison bee, novel stated that it can be dispelled by counter magicm

Rather, I think the reason he chose 'Far Strike' had less to do with Self Marrionette
and more to do with the fact that;

Spoiler for Pushion Core:

Tatsuya, Miyuki, and Mikihiko had examined the results of previous engagements, and deduced that the Parasites were a core of Pushion information bodies with a thin layer outside; schematically speaking analogous to a fibrous layer of Psion information bodies coating a Pushion centre; this led to the hypothesis that they consumed Psions whenever they used magic.

Contact-type Gram Demolition is similar to how a parasite is a pushion core surrounded by psions.

Tomitsuka's armor isn t a spell so it can be countered. It is a huge concentration of psions that surround tomitsuka. The most he can do about it is to scatter the psions (he tried this in the fight) or forcefully break through the psion armor with really strong magic.
FS didn t bypass the armor because at the moment it didn t exist lol. After tomitsuka activated Self marionet the psions on his armor became organized and tats used gram dispersion to decompose the armor and aplied FS directly on tomitsuka.
However this fight is a bad example and there are a lot of confusing things that happen there, i seriously don t like it lol.

[Echizen777]

So Mental Interference magic doesn't consume Pushions, I see. But I wonder why Miyuki was so tired in vol 11 then? The PIB was big but she used Cocytus on 16 persons without problems or maybe her precedent attacks had consumed too much of her Psion Count?

For GD it's just as anonfr said, due to how it works SM would be vulnerable to FS. Contrary to GD, FS have effects on the human body sometimes. And no matter how high Tatsuya's PC is, there is no way he can form a bullet with as much psion pressure as the GD canon ball.

You're right, but that's not exactly my point either. "Since this armor has no "design", Tatsuya's Gram Dispersion was unable to affect it untill after Tomitsuka forced his Psions into an ordered structure."

When casting self marionette "The psions that surrounded the body are neat and orderly, recreating an untouchable Eidos that only suffered Self Marionette to pass."

Self Marionette allowed for attacks that initially wouldn't be effective.

Also, in the actual fight Tatsuya didn't use Far Strike to undo Tomitsuka's GD, he used far strike to attack self marionette directly, knocking Tomitsuka out by the whip lash.

So my point is, I think the evidence is too inconclusive to decide whether or not Far Strike can beat Gram Demolition, since that isn't what actually happened.

i know that. Gd is a counter magic that's just a condense mass of psions that explode on impact to blow away the activation or magic sequence.

Off course it didn`t work on tomitsuka contact type GD because GD is not a spell it has no activation or magic sequence so there's nothing to blow away.

And he used far strike then because tomitsuka armor was gone,because he used that self marionette magic the formless armor he had before took a form that had a design and he used Gram Dispersal on that to blow it away then used Far Stike to knock him out.

Spoiler for volume 12 chapter 16:

Tomitsuka’s entire body had been covered by a single Magic Sequence. It was an exceedingly complex Magic Sequence that even a high-class Magician would be hard pressed to recreate. Maybe it was because he didn’t want them to interfere with the Magic Sequence, but the disorderly psions that surrounded his body were now neat and orderly, recreating an untouchable Eidos that only suffered Self Marionette to pass.

The disorderly chaos had transformed into an orderly world.

Order was both form and design.

Tatsuya’s “Decomposition” could destroy designs. Although he was unable to destroy formless objects, he could deconstruct anything with a form even if it was the Eidos.

The formless cloud of psions wrapped around Tomitsuka now had a form created by Tomitsuka’s own magic.

Through “Elemental Sight”, Tatsuya understood this immediately. He also saw that this was an incredibly opportune moment for victory.

Tatsuya directed psions into his CAD. He was not pretending to use his CAD but actually using the CAD for Decomposition Magic. The magic he chose was “Gram Dispersal”.

Tatsuya pulled the trigger.

With the form in hand, Tatsuya’s magic that destroyed information shredded Tomitsuka’s armor.

The exposed fighting marionette closed in on Tatsuya.

Tatsuya held a concentrated block of psions in his left hand.

The solid block was so sturdy that it could have broken through Tomitsuka’s armor even if it had recovered.

This was not hiding his strength, but to achieve victory. Rather than choosing the magic he was most comfortable with but which still might be blocked by the incomplete armor, Tatsuya chose the magic bullet that would definitely pierce through the incomplete armor.

Designed and honed to clash against inhuman objects, the high pressure, high penetration Far Strike named “Penetrating Magic Shell” (by Yakumo) shot from Tatsuya’s hand and pierced through the fighting marionette named Tomitsuka.
