The Seventh Holy Scripture (第七聖典, Dainana Seiten?) is one of the most powerful Conceptual Weapons in the Holy Church,[citation needed] and the strongest one in Tsukihime.[1]
Characteristics[]
Powered Ciel holding the Seventh Holy Scripture.
Although it is called a Scripture, it's actually an enormous pile bunker.[2] An iron hammer created by the Holy Church in order to renounce the heretical doctrine of Reincarnation.[3][2] It is said to be one of the ApocryphaWP that must never be removed from its resting place. A weapon, yet a Scripture at the same time. When a target is hit by it, their Soul is dispersed into nothingness.[4] Ciel claims that the reason she was defeated by Michael Roa Valdamjong, is that she wasn't fully prepared at the time, unlike in her Powered Mode when she wields this weapon.[4]
It was created by felling a Unicorn, a beast said to consume Souls, then using its horn as a key.[1][3] The surface of the horn is inscribed with every possible impeachment of reincarnation criticism.[4][3] Crossing it with the deceased Spirit of a girl, it was made to prevent reincarnation.[citation needed] Since it's been almost a thousand years since it was first created, it even has an Elemental named Nanako living within it.[3][2] Ciel is the first wielder of the Seventh Holy Scripture powerful enough to allow this Spirit to manifest in physical form.[citation needed]
It was originally a holy symbol, kind of like the finishing move, something used in etiquette to mark the end. It used to resemble a spear or a stake, but as it started to be transformed into a weapon, it changed into a more practical type of bayonet. While it didn't function perfectly as a bayonet, it is said to have still held some dignity as a holy book, shape-wise.[1] Once it fell into Ciel's hands, she remodeled it into a bulky Pile Bunker to fit her own personal tastes.[5][1][6][3] Unable to hold herself back, Ciel set about improving it, and because of that Nanako's personality warped.[3] Before Ciel remodeled it, it was only effective against spiritual entities. Now, however, it has been transformed into a lump of iron that can pound a Vampire to death with its physical attack power alone. It has a gross weight of 60 kilograms, and a maximum weight of twice that with optional attachments.[3][2] As something that is Scripture, Apocrypha, and weapon all at once, it is a powerful weapon that needs an incredibly strong wielder. She uses Reinforcement to make herself strong enough to swing it combat, and she is better at utilizing it than Riesbyfe Stridberg can use her own Scripture. It would take an entire team of magi to utilize it constantly like she does, all due to her innate abilities.[citation needed]
During Powered Ciel's Arc Drive, she drives the stake into her opponent. Afterward, what is ejected from the magazine is not an empty cartridge, but pages of the holy scripture. For Vampires, this is no different from being directly injected with the holy scripture itself. There is no doubt that it is a surefire "Immortal Killer".[2]

シエルのアークドライブ。
シエルが所有を許されている概念武装。聖典と呼ばれながらも、その実体は巨大な杭打ち銃器（パイルバンカー）である。
転生というものが教義にはない教会が作り上げた、転生批判の鉄槌。鋳造されてから千年が経っており、精霊も宿っているのだが……。
シエルが改造するまでは霊体に対してのみ有効な概念武装だったが、今では物理的攻撃力だけでも吸血鬼を殴殺できる鉄塊と化している。総重量、実に60kg。オプションパーツをつけると最大で二倍になるとの説がある。
アークドライプ使用成立時に杭を打ち出すが、その後に弾倉から排出されているものは薬莢ではなく聖典のぺージ。吸血鬼にとっては聖典を打ち込まれるに等しい、まさに必殺の"不死殺し"と言える。 - ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6

The conceptual armament that Ciel is authorized to carry. An iron hammer created by the Church in order to renounce the heretical doctrine of transmigration.
It was created by felling a miraculous beast said to consume souls, then using its horn as a key. The surface of the horn is inscribed with tightly-packed complaints about how "transmigration is really lame".
Since it's been almost a thousand years since it was first created, it even has an elemental living within it.
It was sanctified over the course of many years, but eventually fell into Ciel's hands.
"A horn!? That's not practical at all. The higher-ups are totally out of touch!"
Unable to hold herself back, she set about improving it, and because of that the Scripture's elemental ended up having the essence of its personality warped.

One of the heroines in Tsukihime. A mysterious upperclassman. At the beginning of the game, she planted a suggestion in both Shiki and the players' heads that she was just an ordinary, strangely named sempai that they already knew. Also, glasses.
In truth, she is the newest member of the Church's inquisition force, the Burial Agency, and is tasked with punishing the Dead Apostle Roa. She infiltrated Shiki's school because she suspected him of being Roa's reincarnation, but in the process of observing him she ended up being charmed by him instead. It wasn't something as simple as falling in love, of course. It's just that she was moved by the fact that Shiki could lead such a carefree life despite having experienced death just like she had.
Due to a certain contradiction, she is an existence that cannot die no matter what happens. She is trying to destroy Roa in order to resolve this state of affairs. She boasts excellent reflexes, and is number seven in the Burial Agency despite her young age. She's not just skilled in martial arts, though. The knowledge of sorcery that she inherited from Roa is equivalent to that possessed by a magus of the rank of Grand – the highest rank in the Association. Even in the Church, where sorcery is officially forbidden, this is regarded as a highly useful asset. However, Ciel herself hates drawing on Roa's knowledge.
Within the Burial Agency she is known as "Bow", due to her preference for using projectile weapons. She fights using all sorts of projectiles – not just throwing swords, but guns as well. In fact, the one responsible for changing the Seventh Holy Scripture from a beast's horn into its current shape was actually Ciel.
Before she was part of the Burial Agency, she was the daughter of a baker. Her dream was to become a cake maker, and she already had some skill at making sweets.
…Though it seems she has no interest in making Western-style sweets anymore, on account of it dredges up memories of the past.
Her reputation as a curry lover has grown with each successive appearance, and at this point her name itself is synonymous with the stuff. As for why she loves curry so much, Takeuchi made a manga about it. It's probably about half true.
Always seems to end up playing second-fiddle to the other heroines. Maybe it's because of her magnanimous, all-forgiving nature?
Oh, well, at least her hand-to-hand combat action in Melty Blood ended up being really cool, since she was conceived of as a battle-type heroine from the very start.シエル【人名】

Ciel's alias within the Burial Agency. The name comes from the fact that she's the only person in the Burial Agency that fights using firearms.
It seems that Ciel is something of a gunpowder maniac, and the entire reason she changed the Seventh Holy Scripture into its current form was just to fit her own personal tastes.
…Sure, shooting a gun feels nice and all, but I'm a little worried about her. I wonder if there's something strange at work stressing her out…?
Also, in Melty Blood she finally demonstrates skills worthy of this name. So many black keys…弓【俗称】
