Caster adjusted her multiple perceptions immediately, preparing for her coming movement. Avoiding attacks from the Archer or Assassin class was paramount, and blindspots couldn't be tolerated. Continued monitoring of the Tohsaka Manor was critical, as well. Though Caster doubted they had the proper line of sight to fire on this position, she wasn't about to take any chances.

As the opposing japanese Saber began to look for her position, Hypatia enacted a program to deal with the observer gazing on Fuyuki Park. In the very same moment, Caster manipulated etherlite in tandem with magical energy to obfuscate herself against masters clairvoyance. To onlookers, it probably looked as if she was surrounded by something like electronic static.

Given the Saber bounding toward her with all the power expected of the Knight classes, Hypatia only had a few moments. Even still, he had a large distance to cover, and obstacles to navigate. Her high-speed spellcodes assisted by prepared formulas, were much faster than even a second.

Given the moments of time afforded, she wove a tapestry of magecraft in preparation for Sabers assault. Hypatia expanded her peceptions and the capacity of her calculations by means of astrology, then created a high-ranking barrier on Sabers path toward her boundary field. All the while, she twitched her fingers too and fro as if controlling a puppet, preparing and optimizing the etherlite for combat and escape. As Saber closed in with his blinding speed, she flew backwards toward the opposing edge of the clearing. In her place, she called forth a horde of black monkeys and an abnormally large crocodile who would attack and slow down her opponent when they reached the boundary fields center.

Finally, Caster created an ablative barrier around herself that could reflect even high level attacks. She could afford no chances against an [b]Irregular Value[/b] such as this opponent.

She noted the way he was positioned and presented himself on the approach, and added it to her calculations.

Moments before Saber finally entered visual range(of normal humans, at least), Caster unleashed a torrent of offensive magecraft not unlike a modern chaingun. These bolts of lightning were more akin to fast moving (small)circular spheres. However, weirdly this torrent of attacks were not particularly accurate. To someone with an ability based around battle sense, they could probably tell this was an attempt at suppression instead of a pure attack.

For Caster, who had already gauged her opponents magic resistance based on behavior and effect, this was her strongest opening move.

. . .That being said, they were far from the 'Rays of light' used by the likes of Medea. 

Unfortunately, their power was much lower and optimized to probably be just enough to inflict 'genuine' harm based on this servants magic resistance. In terms of offensive capacity, some moderate damage and infliction of the 'stun' condition was the only thing of worth. It was a relatively cheap mass attack, after all.

However in exchange for diminished offensive power, they held a property with massive utility. They bounced, and any attack that was deflected or outright missed would go flying in a 'random' direction. Bouncing against the trees, the ground, every 'shot' seemed like it had an intended trajectory and location, creating obstacles(patterns) of light across the entire field. Attacks would come at Saber from quite literally every possible angle.

As he approached, Caster 'spoke'.

[color=SkyBlue]"Observation: I am no ally of the Demon, Saber. A small skirmish was required and you obliged such a future. Do well, and I'll inform you of the strongest opponent in the war."[/color] Her voice spoke from no direction and yet all of them at once. A product of magecraft, to be certain. Her tone seemed rather affable and laid back, which was in line with just wanting a small exhibition match.

[color=SkyBlue]"But Saber. If you use your Noble Phantasm, I'll destroy you."[/color] It wasn't the grandstanding or egotism common to the Kings presiding over the nearby Banquet. It was if she was listing a fact off without an ounce of humanity within her voice.
