Caster][PTab=Status]Parameters Personal Skills | Skill 01 | Golden Rule: B+ | Success gravitates towards Edison. Any invention or business venture he embarks upon will be ten times as successful as it would be for a normal person.
|
| Skill 02 | Natural Born Genius: B | | Edison possesses a naturally-occurring mind capable of Memory Partition. While not actually too knowledgeable about science, this allows him to think at a rate much faster than a normal human. |
| Skill 03 | Information Erasure: C | | Unlike other Servants capable of this skill, Edison is unable to use this skill on himself. However, he can make people forget the achievements of others at will. Edison can activate this skill simply by focusing and being near the target. Exposure to this skill for an hour may make them forget every detail of a person. It is not true memory erasure, as being reminded of the person's existence will immediately give back all memories of him. |
Class Skills | Skill 01 | Territory Creation: B | | Having built his first laboratory at the age of 10 and created the first industrial laboratory in adulthood, Edison is capable of making a fully functional scientific workshop out of any reasonably sized room. Edison’s lab will reach the level of sophistication of his lab at Menlo park within a week of creation. Each subsequent month advances this level by the equivalent of 20 years. Edison’s creative sterility prohibits him from advancing his lab’s technology beyond the most advanced of the modern day. It confers no magical protection within its walls, but may be reinforced by scientific means. |
| Skill 02 | Item Creation (False): A | | Edison is able to create any existing machine or device short of Noble Phantasms or magical items. His ‘creation’ of these items is merely a replication, as he must be acquainted with the idea of an invention before actually making it. |
Noble Phantasm  | Thermionic Emission: The Ten Thousandth First | | Rank: A | | Type: Anti-Unit | While Edison did not actually create many of his inventions, his hand in facilitating their creation and propagating their use led to him being recognized as the mind behind much of today’s technology. This talent for adding his own contributions at precisely the right time for them to be recognized as the most crucial has been conceptualized by the Grail as the ability to steal an opponent’s achievements. While Edison could theoretically use this Noble Phantasm to take credit for an invention before it's divulged to anyone, its real use comes in battle.
Edison’s Noble Phantasm doesn’t so much seek to steal credit for creations anymore, but rather, the ‘patent’ on an opponent’s victory. Edison may activate this Noble Phantasm by saying its name when faced with any attack that would grant his opponents victory. The opponent’s win will then be turned back on the assailant. On a conceptual level, it could be considered Edison changing the names in the statement ‘____ defeated Edison with this attack’. The reversal itself is not seen, as a flash of light and distorted sound, both associated with Edison’s inventions, impede the senses during this event.
Given how Edison doesn’t steal the attack, but rather, the concept of a victory, this Noble Phantasm will always defeat the enemy, in most cases incapacitating them, but capable of killing them depending on the strength of the enemy’s Noble Phantasm. The strength of the attack and the endurance of the opponent is irrelevant, as it's not the attack that's inflicted on them, but rather, Edison's fate.
This Noble Phantasm can only be used under certain conditions. The most important one is the fact that Edison can’t use this on the first attack of a battle. For the concept of a ‘victory’ to come into existence, there must first be a ‘battle’, which can only be started with the culmination of the first strike. Edison can be killed in a single attack without the opportunity to defend himself.
Edison cannot use this Noble Phantasm against attacks that would allow him to keep fighting, as there is no concept to steal here either. Edison will usually know when to use this Noble Phantasm as a consequence of his skills. The exception to this is when the attack is so convoluted or out of reality that Edison’s limited calculating abilities do not allow him to formulate a plan, even with hundreds of thousands of thought processes. This basically translates into an inability to defend against A+ to EX-ranked Noble Phantasms. These do not include Noble Phantasms based on scientific principles, which Edison is easily able to understand to a sufficient degree to predict once he sees them.
The last drawback to this is that Edison doesn't attack with a physical force, but rather, a conceptual one based on the idea of predetermined endings. This means that the luck of the opposing Servant will affect the reversal. Servants with C-rank luck have a 25% chance of ignoring the attack altogether. B rank grants a 50% chance. A rank 75%. Anything above A rank makes the target immune to having their win turned on them, although Edison will still avoid being harmed by that particular attack.

Noble Phantasm 
| Last Percent: Outsider's Vantage Point | | Rank: C | | Type: Anti-Unit | (Requires Interlude)
Edison is able to replicate any Noble Phantasm that has a foundation in scientific discovery. This Noble Phantasm isn't related to conceptual theft or appropriation of another's belongings. Rather, Edison simply receives the idea of an object and, dedicating all of his parallel lines of thinking, finds a way to make it work. The fact that Edison has no knowledge of magecraft, the arcane, or most non-scientific fields is the reason why he can only duplicate Noble Phantasms that can be classified as 'science' (this being defined as anything that has been invented by humans through the application of the scientific method). This Noble Phantasm does not apply to concepts or those without an object that originates them.
It will take Edison a week for every rank above E to develop the Noble Phantasm, and it will always be two ranks lower than the original. Noble Phantasms D-rank or lower are fabricated simply as common objects, incapable of hurting a Servant.
Lacking combat experience, Edison is incapable of actually using any weapons he develops. Once Edison has created the first version of a Noble Phantasm, he may create one of it per day.

Introduction Wizard of Menlo. The King of Inventors. In truth, the only thing Edison ever wanted to be called was a great scientist. Having discovered a passion for science at an early age, Edison quickly learned that the merit of a scientist was based on the number of inventions he had to his name. This resulted in him patenting 1,093 inventions, many of them used to this day.
Edison has impeccable work ethic, although the fact that he sees the pursuit of science as enjoyable makes it so he never really feels like he's working. Due to the fact that he's always doing what he loves, Edison is rarely seen in anything other than a cheerful disposition. He conducts himself with the manners and politeness that allowed him to become such a successful businessman. Methods Despite this, Edison displayed an unconventional approach to learning that resulted in him having little formal education. While most of his inventor peers had immense theoretical knowledge that allowed them to come up with their theories, Edison put his natural talents to use through a scientific method based on brute force.
Whereas a normal scientist would put his ideas to paper and then apply them in practice, Edison was known for attempting to invent something without doing the slightest bit of research first. Compared to someone looking through all the individual straws in a haystack, Edison came to perfect this method to such a degree that he now runs all the simulations in his mind.
This is not to say Edison is ignorant. He is still well above the intellect of the average person. However, the difference in theoretical knowledge between him and his rivals is enough that he has to compensate with his unique thought process. Results A number of physical illnesses make Edison unsuitable for combat. Edison is able to supply any non-magical item a Master may need, which makes him an exceptional support Servant.
Edison's wish for the Grail is one of regression: he wishes to no longer have all the experience he has accumulated that allows him to automatically carry out experiments in his mind. The joy of actually testing out theories, of wondering whether an invention will truly work, is worth more to him than the entire fortune he has accumulated. Acknowledgments Edison sees the identity of an inventor defined simply by what he has created. In that way, an invention is incapable of being created by more than one person. This philosophy has led to him considering the person to release a product its true inventor, as well as attempting to preserve his identity against those that would claim his inventions as theirs. Edison's logic is based on the fact that all intentions are the accumulation of scientific discoveries, each of those counting as an accomplishment in its own right. A person can be considered to be the inventor of a flawed 'light bulb', but that is completely separated from the creation of the final product.
When it comes to inventions, Edison does not feel hatred or resentment. The realm of inventions is one ruled only by science, and thus, it can only be quantified in the same way as an equation or a formula. Edison deals with all obstacles, even individuals, as simply a part of a mathematical problem. This, coupled with his inability to give up, can lead to him coming off as ruthless and inhuman, despite always showing the smile of a passionate scientist at work.

Edison huh? Certainly getting a lot of odd balls.
Thermionic Emission imposes Edison's fate on the target, so it feels like Luck may be a good means of defending against it. After all, a Servant's luck can allow them to avoid predetermined fates.
There's also a couple potential concerns about Last Percent, but that will be saved for when you achieve ascension. Let's tweak the Noble Phantasm and this one should be good to go.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. And again. And...
(Done.)
