(Former)Tohsaka Manor, Foreigner's Lowlands[/h3]

Though it was deep in fall today was rather pleasant. The sun contrasted the cool air, making a comfortable atmosphere. Well, at least to the average person. The current atmospheric composition was in no way average. There was an abundance of the 'Greater Source', a large increase in the atmospheres mana. That is to say, the lifeblood of the planet itself was particularly strong here. No, it was somewhat the same anywhere that Storm had hit. The area had been wiped clean, refreshed, and renewed. That was the precise reason Skuld had decided to expand and reinforce the Tohsaka leylines today. It was simply convenient. Nothing more, and nothing less. Surely.

[color=FFF8DC]"Well then,"[/color] A simple gesture with her free hand toward the tree growing in the center of her territory. There was no one to listen to her words here. Familiars were of course familiars. From her perspective, they might as well just be an extension of their user. Something like her cute apprentice was something else entirely, but that was now beside the point. Time to leave.

Skuld spoke a phrase, and the world obliged. No. It wasn't a phrase but rather, a fragment of a 'song'. It was high-speed movement between dimensions. Something mimicking actual 'teleportation'. Naturally, not even a moment had passed and she arrived at her destination. As soon as she arrived, her Noble Phantasm was slammed deep into the ground with the strength of a Servant. 

Caster got to work.

These were the new fields of Miyama- her specific location was the ruin of the Tohsaka house though there was, practically speaking, nothing left to be called a 'ruin'. That mattered little to her. Instead, she activated her own defenses, deployed runes, magic circles, and activated her various mystic codes. Her familiars had already gone to work preparing the leylines and laying the 'string', so she immediately started the ritual to seize the 'land' for herself. Somehow, they had done a great deal of prep work last night without anyone noticing. It had surprised even her, especially with a Magus capable of seizing all the familiars in Shinto in one night. She was particularly paranoid about that one.

Just to be safe, she made use of her Noble Phantasm to take an 'overlooking view' and combined that with the vast incoming data from the dense swarm of familiars near here. When she could, she'd additionally interface with the land itself.

This place had been prepared the night beforehand, so she ensured a boundary field was put up to interfere with anyone attempting to spy. In the first place, her actions here couldn't be hidden. Caster was essentially seizing this land then taking as much mana as possible. But at the very least, no one could see the epicenter of it on a whim.

After she had control, Skuld would certainly pillage as much of the local mana as she pleased too.
