Second Owners (セカンドオーナー?) are magi recognized by the Mage's Association as the supervisors of a local area of high spiritual value.
Characteristics[]
Second Owners are characterized by distinguished, historied lineages entrusted by the Association to manage a local area of significance. Other families of magi are expected to visit the Second Owner to obtain permission to construct a Magical Workshop in that area.[1] Second Owners may commercialize the usage of their lands, charging rental fees similar to a feudal systemWP.[2]

The fifth Tohsaka family head. Had everything gone according to plan, he would have been the man to finish the Holy Grail War once and for all.
He started making preparations for the Fourth Holy Grail War long before it ever began. But although he had set up everything perfectly in his favor, he was tragically killed by his trusted ally, Kotomine Kirei. Well, seeing as how the one who tempted Kirei into defecting in the first place was Gilgamesh, in a sense you could say Tokiomi died due to a lack of compatibility with his Servant.
Tokiomi and his predecessor made a conscious effort to commercialize their spiritual lands, and the unnatural economic success of every business situated there naturally led to exorbitant rental fees, which were collected by the Tohsaka. Of course, as far as Tokiomi was concerned, the fact that the "harvests of all the tenant farmers tilling the Tohsaka land" were protected from bad luck and natural disasters by the Tohsaka's careful management of the ley lines, meant that taxing them like this was his natural right. Truly, it was a 20th century feudal system made possible through sorcery.
Although, even among the Second Owners of other lands, very few have ever seen monetary returns like those made by the Tohsaka.
After Tokiomi's death, these assets were passed on to Aoi, and after Aoi's death they were passed on once more to Rin. Or at least, they should have been, but thanks to her legal guardian Kirei's naïve honesty and crude management, most of the valuable property was lost to other people. Then again, as a priest who values honest poverty, he probably thought it would be good for her from an educational standpoint. Just another thing for Rin to wallop him for, I guess.遠坂時臣【人名】
遠坂家五代目頭首。全てが順当であったなら聖杯戦争を終結させたであろう男。
第四次聖杯戦争より以前のかなり早い段階から下準備を費やし、万全の態勢で事に及んだものの、腹心と恃んだ言峰綺礼の造反によってあえなく脱落。ただし綺礼を唆した大元は時臣の契約したアーチャーであるだはに、結局はサーヴァントとの相性問題が敗因と言えるのかもしれない。
時臣とその先代は、霊脈上の要所として権利を押さえてあった地所を、積極的に商業用地として転用させたため、そのことごとくが「なぜか金運に恵まれて事業を成功させ、遠坂家に莫大なテナント料をもたらした。もちろん時臣としては、彼ら「遠坂の土地を耕す小作人たち」の収穫は、行き届いた霊脈管理によって悪運や災難、霊障の類から保護されていればこその恵みであり、当然の権利として租税を徴収していたにすぎない。まさに魔術あってこそ成立する二○世紀末の封建制度であり、他の土地のセカンドオーナーでも、ここまで金銭的な利潤を生み出した者はそう多くない。
それらの権益は、時臣の死後葵に相続され、さらに葵の死後に凛へと相続される段になって、後見人である綺礼が実に愚直かつ大雑把な管理をしてくれたため、実入りのいい物件は大方が他人の手に渡ってしまった。たぶん清貧を旨とする神父としては教育上宜しくないとでも思ったのだろう。凛は二重の意味で言峰神父に報復ぽんちをしていいと思う。
