Great theories! I agree with most of what you said, but I'd like to add something. During the final battle of ch3, against Lilya, if you read the description of the torret enemies assisting her, it says that they're ancient artifacts with strange carvings, and that when the archeologists tried to look into them, they passed out. This imo seems like the effect of ANR and would explain why the Foundation is immune, since these underground structures likely cover the entire area of the headquarters, SPDM and Laplace. However, I don't think the foundation made them; they likely just built their own structures on top of some ancient ruins.
also I remember in one of your videos idk if its this one you mentioned you didnt know how the other branches of the foundation last in other countries even tho they dont have ANR during the storm, its because they other branches of the foundation get reversed back to the foundation branch of that era as confirmed in chap 6
Also worth thinking about is that it is explicitly said Spathodea is a rare case of reincarnator that doesn't lose her personality when the other comes. Maybe this is part of the vow that seperates her from other rencarnators that dont have anything to do with Ask and Acquire. My HC is that Ulu is the reason for this anomaly, as she wanted Spathodea to grow up and be more than just Flammy again, and she is implied to be above arcanum, so maybe she just rewrote the laws of the contract or something.
I think the ask and acquire ritual could also be present on the island of apeiron, as it’s implied that the island the apeiron followers live on is not actually special but the cave the island hosts is. The islanders use a ritual based upon there faith in apeiron to spread the cave’s influence and henceforth apeirons influence as well, so the location would be apeirons cave the condition is the islanders faith and the boon is the expansion of apeirons reach This allows them to use arcane powers easily as well as protects the island from the Storm which is why it stops protecting certain areas when the islanders faith diminishes only a few areas are still protected as only a few people have the faith needed for the extension ritual In theory the ask and acquire ritual doesn’t actually grant wishes but uses the large concentration of asymmetrical nuclide R as well as a persons belief to create an effect based upon that belief The ritual isn’t a ritual because the conditions to activate the ritual is symbolical it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you believe doing it will cause the ritual’s effects thus in theory it’s more about resonating with the arcanum present then performing a set of actions
Amazing video again! Really in depth and I love your in depth analysis every time! I am making an analysis video on Schneider and would love you input about it!
@tokkibokki_ I haven't actually watched the trailers for either yet, as I've been trying to avoid getting spoiled on future stuff lmao I've seen the Characters and new skins though and they look fantastic

This allows them to use arcane powers easily as well as protects the island from the Storm which is why it stops protecting certain areas when the islanders faith diminishes only a few areas are still protected as only a few people have the faith needed for the extension ritual
In theory the ask and acquire ritual doesn’t actually grant wishes but uses the large concentration of asymmetrical nuclide R as well as a persons belief to create an effect based upon that belief
The ritual isn’t a ritual because the conditions to activate the ritual is symbolical it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you believe doing it will cause the ritual’s effects
thus in theory it’s more about resonating with the arcanum present then performing a set of actions

@@thomas2436 alrighty I think ive fixed it up, should work fine now
I think your theory also parallel with the Apeiron test that 37 and her mother have done in chapter 7 main story.
