Why did Medea not use projection?

Think about it. If she used projection, she would not have to worry about magic resistance and could hurt saber. Archer's basic sword projections had to be dodged by saber, which means she can't resist projection
And if projection can bypass MR, its not really useless like it is claimed to be.

Projection is a modern magecraft technique, isn't it? I don't think she's familiar with it. It's why she turns Shirou into a wand in one of the bad ends.

she probably doesn't know much about it. mages in typemoon appear to specialize in one or a few things and aren't very good with others. shirou himself is basically trash at everything BUT projection, huh?

nasu is a tranny and giga-nerfed everyone so SHITrou could stand a chance and be his self-insert.

>Projection is a modern magecraft technique
Why would it be?
If medea could make a wand for it it can't be modern, because she would have to know about it.
She doesn't have to specialise, all she needs to do is make basic shapes. Considering that she is from the age of gods and better than any human mage alive, she should be able to create iron spheres/spikes atleast

Normally projection is absolutely shit-tier. Only Shirou had a body/soul super specialized to it to make it useful, that's why Medea want him/archer as tools for her.

Projection is shit unless you have UBW, secondary

All you need to do is project a small iron ball
And medea would be better at projection than most mages automatically. Potentiall all mortal mages.

That’s not how magecraft works.

Also, the wand used Shirou’s magic circuits to use, similar to Emiya’s dads circuits being used by Heartless.

Medea is basically running older software which lets her use stuff modern Mages cant, but because of that she explicitly can’t use modern mage craft or anything related to it.

No mage will ever be better than Archer at projection

Shirou’s projection is explicitly extremely special due to UBWs, and in Case Files Rin using a small (inefficient and much weaker) inspired version of it can spam expensive spells.

Where are you getting the idea that its modern only
Doesn't need to be, She only needs to project small iron balls or spikes

Because Medea outright says it’s weird?
The VN clearly implies it’s modern, which makes complete sense since
1. It’s used to make rituals cost less by saving resources
2. Case Files outright has a Xian say humans have really made the few resources that are left last longer after seeing Rin use her copy of Emiya’s projection
3. Pretty much every Caster we have has never used projection in anyway

Projection is garbage and shirou only gets away with it because mc powers. archer is an example of how bad projection is, he loses to literally everyone. the one "victory" he got was backstabbing caster. his best achievement aside from that has been not getting bodied super hard, instead only very hard.

The reason Saber has to dodge is because Emiya’s projections are Noble Phantasms retard

>The VN clearly implies it’s modern
how tho
He's using basic swords in the anime tho
Its not that useless if it can be used to bypass MR. Archer would have had a higher chance of winning if his main weapons had useful powers instead of those retarded twin swords he uses. For example he could use the gae bolg curse

Because no other Magi can't reproduce a weapon's magical properties and history like Shirou can because he has a literal sword library in his head.

She can shit out spells at rapid speed. She doesn't need to make a bunch of iron balls in her mind and stuff them into her soul compartment to shit out later. Hell doing that would fuck her magic potential right up, Shirou and Emiya only get away with that shit because they are literally swords and empty sheaths. Their bodies are just mini swords taking the place of their cells, when they heal its actually just knitting with tiny sword cells.

I'm talking about when she was fighting saber tho
And even the spells she is using don't make sense, she should be using lightning which would be harder to dodge

>those retarded twin swords he use

He likes to use those because he can actually move as himself with them. They have no history like the other weapons. With the others, he's pulled along as if he's a puppet.

Plus he gets a defense bonus when he wields them together.

>I'm talking about when she was fighting saber tho
Shooting metal non-magic pebbles at her is useless. Lancelot only pulled it off in Zero because his NP made his guns get a massive buff and therefore became magical bullets. Saber is a god damned monster and the only weakness is attacking her master when she isn't unshackled with infinite mana aka dark Sakura.
>lightening because dodging
That is quaint. With magic resistance that high she'll just shrug that shit off.

>Plus he gets a defense bonus when he wields them together.
Nah, i doubt such a thing is substantial
And it wouldn't be worth giving up, say, the ranged blasts of certain swords or the utility of gae bolg and the countless other weapons that he has. His main strength is his verastility but he never utilises it.
>With the others, he's pulled along as if he's a puppet.
Sounds like hyperbole
Maybe the combat style of the og user is mixed in but i doubt he loses complete control.
Eitherway, this is a unique quirk of archer's abilities. Projection could still be useful as pure projectiles
Projection still counts as magic, and saber had to dodge archer's non np projections in the anime
So the pebbles are not non magic.She could also reinforce them slightly
>That is quaint. With magic resistance that high she'll just shrug that shit off.
I was talking about her fight with archer where he kept dodging her spells
