A Clockwork Abaddon: Hollowed Hearsay/Oblivion turns to festivity (空洞異譚/忘却は祝祭に至れり, Kūdō Itan/Bōkyaku wa Shukusai ni Itareri?) is an ability utilized by Thia Escardos. Although not a Servant, Thia has a profile that interprets his abilities as Skills and Noble Phantasms.[1]
The ability is a magical accelerator cannon performed by imbuing an object with magecraft, accelerating the object to its limit, and launching it at the target. It is an adaptable ability that can utilize different types of magecraft in a variety of situations, but it has the limitation that it must be a magecraft able to be actualized on present-day Earth. Magic cannot be reproduced and imbued into the target object due to that restriction. Examples of usage include "a simple high-damage version he could compress molecular decay magecraft to its limit before imbuing an object with it" and applying hypnosis for a mental effect.[1]
If Enkidu is the embodiment of nature, Thia can be described as the embodiment of light and shadow. With this Spell, Thia puts his high-density Magical Energy in circulation, twisting space, bending the light of the Sun to form a new Magic Circuit with it. Meanwhile, the completely light-absorbing shadows produce a different spell, forming a multi-layered magic circle around Thia. Thia uses this form of Magecraft to connect himself to the World, however, unlike a Reality Marble, Thia attempts to permanently overwrite the real world. As the rules of the world around him become unstable, Thia recites his chant:[2]
« I am without the protection of Human Order. I support the current Prime Species' right to hate, pity, forgive, scream, and pray to its Counter Force. In this crevice, I shall ingest all good and all evil to demonstrate who I am. My eyes sing praise to all Human creation and for that very reason I take the challenge to overcome the human intellect. Through this destruction, I'll be celebrating the prosperity of human intellect until the time the planet withers completely. » |
(Thia Escardos) |
These final words trigger an explosive expansion of the space distortion, taking Thia high in the air as his Magical Energy spreads to cover the area above the entire United States of America. The distortion starts producing its own gravity, gathering together space debris from outer space. By the year of Snowfield's Holy Grail War, the amount of space debris in the sky is estimated to be over 2000 tons. From discarded satellites to detached spaceship implements to iron microfragments scrapped off with the attrition between two objects. Pieces of many different metals are drawn into the swirl, gathering and compressing around Thia. The vortex also draws minuscule meteors and the microparticles left behind by comet trails. Those all combine into numerous tiny planets rotating around Thia. He coveres them in dense Mana to make them as energetically large as they can be and their rotation accelerates as abruptly as their magical energy circulation.[2]
In an attempt to activate his Magecraft before Enkidu had the time to deploy their Noble Phantasm, Thia yelled the final words in the chant "A Clockwork Abaddon". Numerous "moons" with masses ranging from 500 kilos to dozens of tons rained on Enkidu and Earth much beyond the Speed of SoundWP. Due to a Spell to ignore air resistance, the projectiles he continuously fired with the high speed of a railgun shot would never burn or slow down. Thia's attack was possibly perceived as a Threat to the Planet or Threat to Humanity. Due to this, Enkidu's parameters got a temporary boost while they fired Enuma Elish. Through the power of the Counter Force poured into their Noble Phantasm, Enkidu managed to block the massive attack on Snowfield. However, they didn't neutralized the whole attack. Its shockwaves were tremendous. Quite a few meteor pieces slipped through the magical petals and landed on Earth, although scattering during their fall:[2]
- The smallest fragment slipped east, in Washington D.C.'s direction, falling where the Anacostia RiverWP meets the Potomac RiverWP. The impact of the fragment falling in the center of a 1 km wide river instantly sent its water flying and was felt in the White House as an earthquake accompanied by heavy rain.[2]
- Another fragment pierced the ground of Yellowstone National ParkWP, almost giving some geologists a heart attack by temporarily exciting the dormant magma.[2]
- Another fragment flew far west, crossing the Pacific Ocean and falling on Japanese maritime territory. The fragment's uncontrollable Magical Energy generated heat, instantly evaporating a large volume of water on the oceanic surface. The kilometers-tall splash and evaporation pillar was witnessed from the nearby coast and ships, generating online speculation about an underwater volcanic eruption, a long-ranged missile landing, or an alien invasion.[2]
- Another fragment fell on Russian land, raising an alert for an attack from another nation, which left the whole world in a tense state.[2]
- The second largest fragment caused the biggest worldwide impact. As the observation satellites suddenly showed that 12% of the ArcticWP ice caps vanished from one footage clip to the next. [2] According to a news broadcast report, it's estimated that 500,000 square kilometers of ice were lost, which is a block of ice the size of SpainWP evaporated in minutes. If that thing had fallen anywhere other than the North PoleWP, it would have had an irreversible effect on Earth’s rotation.[3]
- From a magus' point of view, the most significant fragment was the largest one. It was less of a fragment and more of an asteroid still in its original form. Thia used all other asteroids as decoys as he sent this one in a different trajectory with concealment magecraft hiding it from sight and Magical Energy detection. However, it didn't escape Enkidu's Presence Detection. The tactic of perfectly concealing its magical energy backfired as one neutral spot inside the space Thia and Enkidu made so turbulent with magical energy was too conspicuous to go unnoticed. Enkidu stretched their chains in an attempt to apprehend it, but Thia followed up his Magecraft to prevent that. This resulted in the magical asteroid flying toward Earth almost intact, although Enkidu managed to shift its trajectory. Instead of Snowfield, it went to the largest city on the West CoastWP, Los AngelesWP. It is stated that direct contact with the meteor's destruction and atomic decay spells would turn Los Angeles to light. The magical energy contained in it could erase all life within a few kilometers' radius. And the decay that comes after the destruction would cause a chain of cataclysms by stimulating the land, the dragonveins, and the underground magma. Not even Thia himself was able to stop this. This impact would define the future direction of humanity, on a physical level far beyond the Concealment of Mystery. Los Angeles was ultimately spared thanks to Gugalanna blocking the meteor with its head.[2]

His technique to interact and negate magical energy is A+, but if you can find a way around that, it's only B.
■ Independent Action: A++
That much is obvious because he's a living being, but even if he was a Servant, he would still be able to operate for a long time.
Personal Skills
■ Dweller of the Manasphere: A
A skill that represents being able to perceive the real world by its magical structure and interact (analyze, modify, absorb, etc) directly with its flows and sediments. He sees all forms of magical energy flow overlapped with his physical vision, similar to how it is with the phenomenon that makes electromagnetic waves visible. It's not Mystic Eyes, as it also affects his hearing and other senses. It's impossible to even walk properly for someone who didn't obtain this Skill from birth and didn't grow up accustomed to this kind of scenery.
■ Time Manipulation: A
He can freely speed up or slow down any concepts (including all magical energy, physical movement, thought speed, etc) within his area of effect for as long as he has the magical energy for it. However, the increase or decrease of speed stops at reasonable levels, meaning it's naturally impossible for him to produce perfect stasis, light speed, or time reversal.

Maximum Targets: ???
A magical accelerator cannon, done by imbuing an object with whatever form of magecraft, accelerating it to its limit, and shooting. For example, to use a simple high-damage version he could compress molecular decay magecraft to its limit before imbuing an object with it, or for a mental effect, he could use hypnosis. The ability can adapt to a very wide range of situations. Due to a restriction that it can only employ magecraft usable in present-day Earth, it's obviously impossible for him to reproduce Magic and imbue it into an object.
