An odd expression, an almost strained smile appeared on Ruler's face in response to Ernest's reaction. No, he could not say that he had been surprised by the magus's decision, not in the slightest. He also couldn't disdain that sort of choice; were Ruler himself in the lad's position, then he would certainly have charged headlong back into the war. At the same time as that sort of surrogate pride welled in his chest, though, he couldn't help but feel a slight pang of guilt, that by telling Ernest that he could reenter the war, he was in all likelihood sending the boy to his death. 

[color=fff79a]"The Holy Grail's situation in this instance is...different, than it should be. Fundamentally it should have the capability to summon seven Servants, and potentially an exception such as myself. In this case, though, the magical energy that it has accumulated is sufficient to completely overturn that, likely the result of modifications made by those who call themselves this land's Second Owners. I'm no magus, so that sort of thing is outside of my knowledge; all I have to go off of is the gut instinct to such things that the Grail provides me with."[/color] Ruler explained. A hand reached up to remove his sunglasses, clear blue irises blinking twice as they were exposed to the light. [color=fff79a]"In other words, the general limit on Servants and class restrictions don't apply. Even I don't know how many Servants this Grail could manifest, but it shouldn't be more than...say, twenty, as the most liberal estimate. The number of Servants who have been summoned thus far is well below that."[/color]

[color=fff79a]"More importantly, though, is you. After all, while your Servant has perished, you still possess [i]the right to be a Master[/i]."[/color] He remarked, calling to mind the Command Seals that Ernest still possessed, faded and grey that they were. [color=fff79a]"In other words, it should be possible to summon another Servant. Ordinarily, a Master summoning multiple Servants should be impossible, but the Grail is more...indiscriminate than it should be, as if it wants this war to be as chaotic as possible while still retaining some reason. If you attempted a summoning ritual and were to use one of those Command Seals as a spark, then while I can't be certain, you may be able to summon a Servant."[/color]
