Subcategory Holy Grail War

are derivative, smaller Holy Grail Wars based upon the wide dissemination of the inner mechanics of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War to the world of magi. Such rituals began to appear in the world of Fate/Apocrypha after Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia spread information about the construction of the ritual to magi around the world. Francesca Prelati plans to spread such rituals through the world of Fate/strange FakeFate/strange Fake Volume 3 - Prologue VIII: "The Star Performers' Feast (Part 1)" to accomplish her goals.Fate/strange Fake Volume 6 - Chapter 20: "Fantasy Becomes Reality"
==Origin==
After the Third Fuyuki Holy Grail War in the World of Fate/Apocrypha ended in failure after the theft of the Greater Grail, Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia started working on establishing the Greater Grail within Trifas. He later spread information on the workings of the wars throughout the world, Holy Grail Wars happening on every continent.Fate/Apocrypha Volume 1: Apocrypha: Great Holy Grail War - Chapter 1 As a result of the information about Fuyuki's Grail that Darnic spread, these Subcategory Grail Wars are based on the Fuyuki war.Fate/Labyrinth - Act 3
Within the World of Fate/strange Fake, Francesca Prelati plans to purposely create a system of Subcategory Holy Grail Wars in the hopes that, by repeating the ritual thousands, tens of thousands of times until the human race went extinct, simple trial and error and pure chance might eventually get her to achieve her wish of the elimination of Magic through the advancement of human technology.
Each of the Subcategory Holy Grail Wars have different origins, however, all of these wars revolve around a Holy Grail.
For example, in the Labyrinth Subcategory Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail that was used was an imitation Grail that was installed at the bottom of the Seventh Labyrinth of Caubac Alcatraz by Wolfgang Faustus who wanted to use it to get the Spiritual Cores of the Servants and Ascend to become an Elemental.Fate/Labyrinth - Act 6Fate/Labyrinth - Epilogue
==Procedure==
Various magi seek out to establish their own Holy Grail Wars, but most end in failure. 95% of Holy Grails end up stalled during the construction process due to various setbacks. 5% of Holy Grails reach the completion process, but 4% of them are actually incomplete and explode upon receiving magical energy. The remaining 1% manage to work as designed, but they are ultimately degraded products compared to the Greater Grail of Fuyuki.
The completed products are called Subcategory Holy Grails,Fate/Labyrinth - Act 1 possessing power of varying scales. They are able to grant wishes, but they are unable to reach the Root. They may not be able to fulfill the whole scale of a Heroic Spirit's wish. Many Servants rebel and kill their Masters due to the poor quality of the Holy Grails, and some refuse summoning entirely.
The number of Servants summoned in each Holy Grail War varies from two to five, said to never exceed five. The ability for Servants to display their full power depends on the quality of the local leylines, most unable to match the quality of those in Fuyuki. This leads to the commonality of Servants being unable to reach their full power, the local level of fame often showcasing the advantages and disadvantages of each Servant. Due to that, Holy Grail Wars often turn into competitions to obtain catalysts of local Heroic Spirits. Technologically aligned magi created the Holy Grail War Walkthrough wiki to have an advantage over their more traditional peers.
Each of the Subcategory Holy Grail Wars have different procedures and as such have no pre-defined notions of structure, as well as various rules unique to each Grail War. The only commonality is the notion of the summoning of Servants, the necessity of Masters and the use of Command Spells.
For example, in the Labyrinth Subcategory Holy Grail War, the setup of the Holy Grail War is very similar to a dungeon quest from an RPG video game. In this Grail War, up to 5 Servants are summoned by the Subcategory Holy Grail. There are no Lancer or Rider class Servants and Servants don't have to have masters, but can be summoned by one if required. The goal of these Servants is to reach the Holy Grail at the center of the bottom-most floor of the Seventh Labyrinth of Caubac Alcatraz. Along the way, these Servants have to battle their way against various monsters e.g. Golems, Man-eating Fairies etc as well as the various bosses at the end of each floor e.g. Dragon Golem. The monsters themselves can also be used to create food to allow the Servants to restore their Magical Energy.
Various traps and Mystic Codes are also found within the Labyrinth as well. The various Mystic Codes can be found from the monsters or from chests in the various rooms of the Labyrinth. Upon reaching the Grail, they can have one wish granted in theory.
==Supervision==
Supervision in the Subcategory Holy Grail Wars are normally dependent on the Grail War. However, they are normally supervised by either the Holy Church or the Mage's Association.
In the Labyrinth Holy Grail War, supervision of the Grail War was left primarily to Wolfgang Faustus, the creator of the Labyrinth Holy Grail War. However, upon receiving word of the unofficial Grail War in the Labyrinth and the missing investigators, the Mage's Association sent Lord El-Melloi II and his assistant, Gray, to investigate.

===Others===
*Greece's Subcategory Holy Grail War failed to come to fruition after it became a struggle between magi to obtain a “catalyst of Heracles”, ending in a simple battle of magecraft. Even after the usage of Heracles was forbidden, there was never a proper ritual held in Greece because the next war simply turned into a similar competition for a "catalyst of Achilles".
*A war where Shakespeare was said to have managed to strengthen a Master enough to defeat a Servant.
*A war where Waver Velvet summoned Iskandar and then later became given the title Lord El-Melloi II as in Fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War.
*A war Rottweil Berzinsky participated in, which had only five Servants. The objective was to gather Magical Energy and Rottwell was hired to participate in the summoning ritual and kill his own Servants, but it irritated him and he killed the other participants, including his client. This resulted in the gathered Magical Energy running wild and causing a large explosion, which he barely survived by shedding his skin twice.Fate/Apocrypha Manga - Chapter 2: "Night Before the Curtain Rises -Red-"
*In the "An Old Spider Spins Webs of Memory" event in Fate/Grand Order, James Moriarty recalls a Subcategory Holy Grail War he was asked to advise on. It ultimately didn't come to pass and resulted in the collapse of a city.Fate/Grand Order - An Old Spider Spins Webs of Memory - Section 5: Old Spider
