By...getting by the same way Sheena would have to if she were in a similar situation---by relying on the rest of her artes? Barring her Summons, she at least has Quasi Seal as a Mystic Arte. Does Pascal have any Mystic Artes that don't have to involve these Eleth Spirits? It looks like Fever Dream is one. I have to wonder how she'd keep pulling that out in her own world. What, does she have pocket dimensions or something? xd No wait...apparently she's a genius technician...so...this is just a guess but I wager she could keep mechs in things that are like Wing Packs.
What do you mean by "try to make them respond to their blood" with these Eleth dragons, though? If it still essentially is trying to summon them all the way from their world, then yeah...the point about being too far still stands.
There are few attacks that rely on her eleth summon spirits. However, she can summon Mecha-Sophie for her Dream Fandom attack (which is a regular attack) and Mecha-Asbel for her Fever Dream Mystic Arte out of nowhere. (Maybe she does have something like a Wing Pack on her. Her character design has a lot of pockets on her clothes) But I'm not sure how this'll make up for her severe lack of Mystic Artes. Unless she starts to make a slew of Mechas of her friends.
SEMI-SPOILERS: Oh! Pascal can summon eleth spirits due to them responding to her blood. This happens when she gets in contact with their cryas shard and they make a pact with her. There are three types of eleth: wind, water and fire; therefore three types of eleth spirit summons. So, yeah . . . with her on a different planet, she lost her ability to perform three out of four of her Mystic Artes. This is a huge handicap for Pascal!

In my honest opinion, that doesn't sound like too big of a handicap to me. I'm guessing it must seem that way because the rest of the Graces characters have as many as or a little more than her. But consider the other Tales characters participating in the RP: the Symphonia cast has one each on them (I don't really count Sheena's summons), Tear and Jade have two, Elize has one, Gaius has one. Pascal's still on par with them, in my eyes.
If it's variety you're trying to go for, I don't mind her making extra mechs. 3nodding As for the regular artes that depend on the Eleth spirits, I'll give you leave to find replacements for them too. Or...maybe she can learn a few fire, wind, and water spells as she goes along? I'd let it slide that somehow, her Amarcian blood allows her some element mana manipulation powers like Elven blood does. How's that sound? I based that idea on Sheena...she doesn't learn spells but a little Elven lineage in her is what allowed her to form pacts with the Summon Spirits.

That sounds good to me. Kinda has me thinking up something hilarious for Pascal to do when she finds out she can't summon them. Not to mention a part where she's making new Mecha-Friends. Although, I don't know how to find replacements for her eleth spirits. Unless, I can make them up or something, idk what to do on that. Moreover, I was wondering something throughout the RP. There are all sorts of "magic" in the Tales universe (i.e. mana, fonons, aer, eleth/cryas, spirit/spirits, etc.) but they all form into artes and mystic artes. Are they different facets of magic or do they share similarities?

If you mean replacing the regular artes that requite Eleth spirits, that's why I suggested learning fire/wind/water spells as an alternative. ^^; I mean, the spells would be something she can make do with when she can't have the option of her Eleth spirit-dependent regular artes. I suppose what I'm trying to say is the spells would be the temporary replacement?
I think the correct term would be "energy" more than magic. That makes it easier for me to think that whatever each world has (mana, fonons, aer, etc.), they all have similar properties which is how characters from other worlds---not just Tales worlds---are still able to cast their own spells or execute energy-expelling attacks.
On a side note, though. Wasn't aer eventually replaced with mana in Vesperia? That's what I read...

Pascal does have elemental attacks, but her strongest attacks of that kind require the power of the eleth spirits. So her usual elemental attacks would still work. I guess she could learn new attacks as the story progresses . . . ((PS: I kinda got up to where that flying monster thingie attacks the guild town in Vesperia. I don't have a XBOX 360, just a PS3, so I've been watching playthroughs. However, I'm kinda occupied with playing Graces and Xillia, atm))

Did Aerith already heal Sesshomaru? He probably won't take kindly to having magic performed on him, especially since this is after Nuraku (wtf is his name?). He's probably going to flip out and get ready to attack her with his poison claw.

Speaking of Sessy. Being a demon, would he benefit from being in the Shadow areas?

Yeah, pretty much. XD The price of trying to be nice, eh?
And you mean Naraku? XD

I've thought about this a lot and sometimes confused myself in the process. Because it feels like the way other-world demons are handled in this RP should also be balanced with how Niflheim demons are handled. I first decided that weakness to mana is a trait unique to Niflheim demons, otherwise Sesshoumaru and Hiei would be having a veeeeeery difficult time here.
Getting to the point now, the least I decided is this. They'd be immune to the miasma and the way the evil energy messes with negative emotions and memories. But they wouldn't get strength benefits since they'd count as beings that thrive under mana. So their strength remains the same.
Having a hard time figuring out where to put my new puppets. Anyone interested in meeting a soul-hungry demon and his studious master? Ankoko is going to kill me in my dreams. I nust know it.

Sorry for the delay again---I know, right when I set of a Shadow event, even. lol I only have a lame excuse right now, and it's that I've been absorbed in constructing Azriel and Eloysio's profiles.
Azriel's profile is about 90% done. Warning: long-a** bio holy crap lol. I just need to flesh out the Repertoire section and...make art. @w@ Though I'll get to the art after finalizing all the writing. This is all gonna take a while, but I will try to take a break and move things along.
