(Arthur Pendragon) |
The Restraints of the Round Table (円卓拘束, Entaku Kōsoku?), the Thirteen Strictures (十三拘束?), are thirteen restraints or Bounded Fields[1] set upon King Arthur's weapons by the Knights of the Round Table.
Characteristics[]
The Restraints, applying to both Arthur Pendragon of the Fate/Prototype world and Artoria Pendragon of various worlds, were first applied to Excalibur/Excalibur Proto. The holy spear Rhongomyniad accepted the same limitations as Excalibur after thinking "such a form is beautiful."[2]
The restraints limit the available power for the restricted weaponry. For Rhongomyniad, over half of the restraints must be released in order to release its True Name. For Excalibur, each condition passed allows for more power to be utilized. For Excalibur Proto, over half of the restraints must be released to achieve a perfect release of its True Name, but even with less than seven restraints released, a weaker release of its True Name is possible.
It is unknown if every single condition is shared between all the weapons or if they vary depending on the world.
If Gray releases too many of the seals when using her version of Rhongomyniad, she risks breaking her Mystic Code Add from the strain it puts on him.[3]
Galahad and Balin also placed similar but weaker restraints on the Holy Spear Longinus.[4]

Said to have existed in England, it is the sword of the king of knights known as the symbol of knighthood. The strongest Noble Phantasm of all Servants, sealed in numerous boundary fields.
That is Saber's symbol of heroism. - ↑

Aware of the strictures placed upon the holy sword, thinking “such a form is beautiful,” the holy spear accepted those same limits. Just as the holy sword, it carries within it the prayers of thirteen knights.
Furthermore, in the illustration of the Thirteen Strictures included in the Rail Zeppelin case, the image of Bedivere included his prosthetic arm. This arm was created for him by a blacksmith he knew, for use when he attended ceremonies. For him, actions taken by the Round Table required the utmost in respect and decorum. Whether the silver arm that appeared in a parallel world was modelled after this one or not, well…十三拘束【そのほか】
聖剣に課された拘束を認識した聖槍が、「その力タチは美しい」と自らにも課したもの。聖剣と同様に、十三の騎士の祈りが宿っている。
なお、魔眼蒐集列車編挿絵における、十三拘束でのべディヴィエールのイメージで右腕が義腕になっているのは、生前、祭礼などに出席する際、知り合いの鍛治師に造ってもらったもの。彼にとっての円卓議決は最大限の礼を払うべき対象だった。並行世界の銀色の腕はこれをモデルにしたとかしなかったとか。 - ↑ Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 7: case. Atlas Contract (Lower) - Epilogue
