A/N: This is my first attempt in creating a Servant for the Fate/Stay Night franchise. I looked through different versions of Artoria and whatnot on the wiki, as well as following a general formula for making the Parameters sheet you see here, so I hope I didn't make this Artoria that powerful. She's meant to be strong alongside other versions of herself but somewhat less effective at fighting strong enemies when she's not.
I got the idea after I came across Mysterious Heroine X alongside MHX Alter and MHXX, and then I remembered a RWBY x Fate story called Saber of Remnant by Hit Rite that had a relatively normal guy take the mantle of Artoria's legend as he was summoned by Weiss accidentally. This spawned the question inside of me, "Why has nobody created their own version of Artoria who is also a Servant?" Like, I mean, we have MHX from the Servant Dimension or whatever and she's a version of Artoria, we have Caster Artoria with the Staff of Selection, we have Rhongomyniad who is an Artoria who became a ghost and then a Goddess, we have Master Artoria who was a modern student turned Grail War Master. And then there are stories about Artoria as a somewhat normal person in a modern setting or its Artoria during her lifetime in the 6th Century. So this got me thinking about what version of Artoria I wanted to make.
So I came up with the Artoria you can read about below. Born closer to the mid-21st Century in London, England, she's what I think a version of Artoria who was directly descended from a version of Arthur (Prototype) would end up like if she was born centuries later. Of course, there's the obligatory "minor Zelretch meddling" that ended up being the first tiny domino in Artoria's eventual induction into the Throne, but I hope you can forgive me for that as I believe Artoria would've been a pretty normal girl, if rather lonely, had she not had the seed of curiosity planted.
And about Artoria having so many skills, I'd like to think the habits of older Servants compared to modern Servants are different, in that you have Sasaki Kojiro who trained for years to be able to slice a Swallow which forged his swordsmanship to inhuman levels, but then you have Archer EMIYA who used his Tracing to have a massive array of weapon types that he practiced with over the years, in that you have the old way of Master-of-One and the new way of Jack-of-All-Trades. Artoria, in keeping with almost any Artoria being very powerful, is basically close to a Jack-of-All-Trades, but also a near Master-of-One right alongside it due to a Pendragon-specific Magecraft.
Technology in this version of Earth is meant to be a bit more advanced than otherwise, especially due to the fact its not 2004 like FSN but rather its perhaps around 2040 or so? So in this version of Fate, its something closer to the Holy Grail having been successfully destroyed by Kiritsugu and Saber Artoria rather than causing it to erupt with the cursed mud from Angra Mainyu. Alongside this, Waver Velvet still became Lord El-Melloi II and the head of the Department of Modern Magecraft Theory, but developed an interest in combining technology with Magecraft while playing his video games one day. My story canon has Waver come into contact with Arthur Pendragon and Morgan Le Fay who help him develop a sort of Technological Magecraft Theory, a theory which was also privately developed by the two into their own original Mystic Code.
In terms of Artoria's Sorcery Trait, I can say its related to the Einzbern family in their "Transfer of Power" aspect. Artoria's makes it easier and more efficient to feed Prana into Runic Arrays, Mystic Codes, weapons, mundane objects or even to sympathize with "specific information" (you'll understand this a bit later). My head-canon places a distant relationship between the Pendragon family and the Einzbern family, and this can work because King Arthur lived in the 6th Century while the Einzberns only began the plans to recover their True Magic in the 10th Century, a time in which they likely began to stay as one branchless family. Despite the Einzberns being German and the Pendragons being English, our very own Queen Elizabeth is part-German so it can make a reasonable amount of sense.
BASIC INFORMATION
Name: Lily Le Fay
Servant Class: Foreigner/Saber [Irregular Summoning (Regular is Caster/Saber)]
True Name: Artoria Lily Pendragon
Gender: Female
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 62 kg
Source: Alternate Prototype World
Country of Origin: England
Alignment: Neutral Good
As a Servant, her Personal Skill levels aren't very impressive, averaging a high D-Rank to low C-Rank. She makes up for this with sheer number of skills, making her something of a Jack-of-all-Trades. She also has the potential to unseal her two strongest Noble Phantasms, those being Excalibur and Avalon, raising them from C Rank to A++ and EX respectively.
STAT SHEET
Strength: D (C)
Endurance: A
Agility: B
Mana: A
Luck: C
NP: C (A+)
Her strength was never that good, but the final battle that security footage caught of her against Pope Laurentis showed her strength via Reinforcement that was enough to push her Strength to D Rank. Her Endurance was one of her defining factors as a combatant, pushing her body so hard that she would collapse immediately into sleep sometimes upon finding a place to rest, and this showing of her nearly superhuman endurance was enough for popular thought to say she could run full tilt for hours, earning her prodigious A Rank. Her Agility was demonstrated by avoiding attacks and some people witnessing her incredible ability to duck and weave and traverse rough terrain at full speed, thus her B Rank. Her Magic Core defaults her to A Rank in Mana. Her Luck is average at C Rank because she had no favor or curse in life from anything.
BACKGROUND
Artoria Lily Pendragon was born in 21st Century London, England in Victoria Hospital to Arthur Pendragon and Morgan Le Fay, but almost immediately afterwards lost them to assassins. She was taken into an orphanage in London with Vivian Lynn as her caretaker, and grew up as something of a tomboy, although no children approached her due to her cold and stoic exterior. It wasn't too long afterwards that Vivian adopted Artoria and they began to live together in their own home.
Artoria plunged herself mostly into studies to learn as much as she could want to know, before stress caught up to her entering her teenage years. Artoria took heed of Vivian's suggestion to watch some TV on the side to help, and soon afterwards Artoria discovered Japanese anime. Artoria particularly found the Fate/Stay Night series quite intriguing to watch alongside its other canon media, mostly due to her favorite character Saber who she shares the True Name of, but her curiosity led her to discover the oddity of the series having no author, with such a fact impossibly ignored on forums worldwide.
Artoria's digging around led her to come across a gem hidden inside Vivian's bedroom, which glowed really brightly once she touched it before it shattered and was absorbed into her body, awakening her Magic Circuits and jolting her dormant Red Dragon Magic Core out of its slumber. Information began to write itself into her mind, information on the Pendragon Magic Crest she just woke up as well as the Magecrafts recorded within. The flare from awakening her Magic Core caused the Clock Tower to send Enforcers her way to take her in for questioning, so Vivian told Artoria to escape to the Pendragon Manor in Dover while she still had time. It was there she inherited the Pendragon Tablet, an advanced Mystic Code bordering on a Noble Phantasm capable of storing libraries of information, Mysteries, Noble Phantasms and other objects, both small or moderately large.
Following her instincts, Artoria made her way back to London as quickly as possible, only to find Vivian gone from the house. Finding a note there from Vivian, Artoria ignored Vivian's written warnings and invaded the Clock Tower to recover her. She found Vivian dying in a torture chamber where she learned of Vivian's status as her Godmother, before Vivian activated her only true Magecraft, Soul Bind. In Vivian's dying breath, she bound her soul to both Artoria and the Pendragon Tablet, connecting the three together until the end of Artoria's life.
Artoria fought her way out of the Clock Tower using a sealed Excalibur and ran into Jun Kotomine, a Holy Church Executor, and would've died in battle against her if Vivian hadn't taken over and manipulated Jun's Black Keys to get them out of there. To escape, Artoria found a motorcycle inside the Tablet and hopped on, zooming off a balcony towards public roads just before Jun could catch her. As they escaped, Artoria named the bike Noblesse Oblige, a reminder of her position and the duty the old Pendragon Royal Family of the Arthurian Era had to serve and to save the people. She and Vivian came up with a new identity for Artoria to publicly use in the aims of getting around more easily without the Holy Church coming after her, that of Lily Le Fay, estranged younger sister to the late Morgan Le Fay.
Over the years, Artoria and Vivian gained knowledge and managed to keep escaping their pursuers, darting all around Europe in the process and gaining skill and experience in combat among other life skills. In the end, Artoria discovered the cruel deeds of the current Pope of the Holy Church, Pope Laurentis, and his machinations to take control of Europe. Now in her adult years and loaded up with skill and new equipment, including the sealed Avalon, Artoria does battle with Pope Laurentis. The battle ends with the complete devastation of Vatican City and the death of Pope Laurentis, with Artoria suffering from fatal injuries as well, partly from the backlash of unsealing Excalibur and Avalon. Her final effort in life was to release onto the internet all the information she dug up on Laurentis' plans for Europe, before she finally allowed herself to let go. The spread of the data on forums and the public's slow adoption of the view of Lily Le Fay, revealed to be Artoria Lily Pendragon, as a hero as well as a direct descendant of King Arthur, was the golden ticket for Artoria to enter the Throne of Heroes, taking Vivian and the Pendragon Tablet with her as parts of her legend.
APPEARANCE
Artoria Lily Pendragon
Blonde hair, green eyes, lean and pretty looking. Has lean muscle that is visibly toned, maintains a stoic expression with everyone that isn't one of her loved ones, like Vivian. Wears dark navy blue sweat-shirt, sweat-pants, black running shoes with a black scarf and wool front-brimmed hat. Her hair is styled into long twin-tails that she tucks under her hat before battle.
Vivian Lynn
Light green hair, green eyes, slender and beautiful in appearance, with elongated ears akin to that of a mermaid. Formerly rather mundane looking, with dark green hair and brown eyes in original human form. Wears fluffy light green long dress with seaweed-like décor. Could be called the Lady of the Lake.
PERSONALITY
Artoria Lily Pendragon
Levelheaded, but wary of trusting new people. Childish in terms of maturity, but tainted by the knowledge of the lengths some people would go to due to fear or due to greed for power or knowledge. Strong sense of justice, and rather reluctant to kill, but willing to go that far if the continued safety of others requires it. Due to her irregular summoning, her mindset is that of her younger self from when she first opened her Magic Circuits, but her body and memories are from the prime of her life which happens to be immediately before her battle against Pope Laurentis. This makes her jumpy and nervous, especially when in Chaldea or around other Servants.
Vivian Lynn
Mature and motherly, can determine rather well who to trust and open up to. Welcoming, but makes her expectations known. Not blind to the cruel reality of human nature, and willing to carry the burden of knowledge so that others won't have to. Vivian was not affected by the irregular summoning, and tries her best to help Artoria adjust to her memories. Secretly wants Artoria to stay more innocent in this irregular summoning, so she becomes more overprotective to maintain that more pure worldview.
CLASS SKILLS
Independent Action: EX
Thanks to her lineage as a modern Magus from the ancient Pendragon Royal Family, as well as her inheritance of the Magic Core that apparently belonged to King Arthur himself, as a servant she can operate on her own indefinitely without drawing from her Master when not using her high ranked weapons or skills such as Excalibur and Avalon. She can, however, restrain her draw on her Master and replenish some of her lost energy via her Altereactor (False) personal skill, or by waiting a mildly inconvenient amount of time for her Magic Core to naturally regenerate provided it still has some energy left over.
Magic Resistance: C (A)
Due to her status as being in possession of a Magic Core, a Red Dragon's specifically, she carried the same, high resistance to Magecraft as her counterparts from her birth. Due to her Magic Core's dormancy however, this effect is reduced by two ranks unless nearby another Red Dragon's Magic Core, such as another version of Artoria.
Riding: A
Being born in the modern era and having had to quickly learn how to drive Noblesse Oblige after her initial escape with Vivian from the Clock Tower, Artoria has experienced driving a multitude of vehicles, including an airplane once. She herself is not confident in flying anything at all, shown by her having crashed said airplane all by herself, though her skill in ground vehicles, excluding animals, can easily rival a Rider-class Servant. Curiously, she is quite nervous around horses and other members of the Equus species.
PERSONAL SKILLS
Altereactor (False): D
A developed imitation skill, Artoria quickly learned to channel and recirculate her Prana to accelerate her digestion process and her production of Od to replenish her Prana reserves faster. She had to use this after draining her Magic Core in a desperate bid to escape a trap set by the Holy Church's Executors. This skill allows her to digest food faster and burn it away faster to replenish her Magic Circuits, though as an Artoria she can consume ungodly amounts of food, though only when she's genuinely hungry. As a result of this elevated consumption in her original human form, Artoria Lily Pendragon is slightly taller and heavier than other versions of Artoria, being an extra twenty kilograms heavier and ten centimeters taller.
Anti-Dragon Resilience: C
Due to the Soul Bind that connects Artoria and Vivian together forever as godmother and daughter, Vivian's natural resilience to all magic attacks also manifests in Artoria as an added resilience to Anti-Dragon attacks, an extra layer of protection around her Magic Core. Against foes who wield Dragon-Slaying Sorceries such as Siegfried, Artoria will exhibit a higher defense against the Anti-Dragon conceptual elements, though not to the level of even her C-Rank Magic Resistance to more normal magic.
Battle Continuation: C (B+)
Thanks to Vivian's intervention, Artoria can ignore normally painful wounds and continue fighting by pure force of will, provided she finds her goal worth fighting for. If her will is particularly strong, such as fighting for the sake of a loved one (of which she had none left alive in her lifetime), this skill ranks up to B+ and allows her to keep moving even with normally physically crippling injuries such as cut ligaments, almost as if her sheer will is causing Prana strands to keep herself intact.
Beautiful Appearance/Frozen Maiden: D
Having genes descended from King Arthur himself, Artoria carries an appearance that is objectively beautiful to a limited extent, an appearance that naturally draws the attention of those around her. She unconsciously disables or even inverts this skill by covering herself up more than other versions of Artoria do as well as carrying a stoic and cold expression most of the time, causing her appearance to become untouchable or even somewhat uncomfortable for others to be around.
Clairvoyance: D
Having learned to take up high positions to gaze upon areas of high activity, Artoria learned to spot areas of interest or areas to avoid depending on the magical sense from them or the people she sees around those areas. She developed this when fleeing the Clock Tower after Jun Kotomine's attempts to capture and torture or kill her.
Double Summon: B
Artoria can be summoned with the skills of the Saber Class alongside whatever class she is summoned with, and should she be summoned as a Saber, stats enhanced by the class get an extra rank. This was gained through being accepted by Excalibur first and later Avalon.
Dragon Reactor Core: D (B)
As a version of the King of Knights, Artoria gets the same overwhelming Prana source in the form of the Magic Core from a Red Dragon, one that was passed down to her through her bloodline from King Arthur himself. Normally she can only pull a small stream from it, but when in a very desperate situation, she can force it open more, ranking up its power output to D+. When fighting alongside another Artoria however, her Magic Core ranks up twice to match that of the King of Knights.
Eternal Arms Mastery: D
Having had to fight for her survival on numerous occasions, Artoria has fostered the ability to maintain aggression and flow in battle even if her weapons are knocked out of her hands. She resorts to sweeping motions with her arms and continues fighting in a manner similar to fighting with Sun-Calibur and Moon-Calibur, a pair of swords referred to as Twin-Calibur. She also had to push through a battle against an Executor who knew mental interference spells, so with Vivian's help she learned to push through mild interference to maintain grasp on her senses.
Eye Of The Mind (True): D
In the same vein as her Clairvoyance skill, Artoria fostered this one via people watching. Its not very strong, but it stands as proof of her ability to gauge potential threats and act in her favor. This is assisted by Vivian from within the Pendragon Tablet.
Familiar Creation: D
At the most, Artoria can create a small Will-o-Wisp that can only reliably conceal its magical presence and not much more. To the naked eye, it appears much like a firefly. Though the skill is weak, Vivian can use it as a medium connected to the Pendragon Tablet to perform remote Spiritron Hacking or simple recon.
Frozen Hydroblast: C
A personal skill that was developed by this version of Artoria and none other, it allows Artoria to manifest a Runic Array on her palms that spews out high pressure water that freezes into ice immediately upon contact. Not only is the stream heavy and powerful to knock most human opponents back like a fire hose, but the water is frigid and turns to ice fast enough to weigh down or even immobilize an opponent. Unfortunately, this does not work against Executors as a sufficient flex of Prana shatters the ice due to its nature of having been created from Prana, much like a Projection.
Inherent Wisdom: D
Having had to improvise most of the time in her fleeing from the Enforcers, she learned and used general Magecraft found within the Pendragon Tablet at objectively pathetic levels, though her ingenuity with such weak acts tend to add up to an overall success on her side of confrontations.
Instinct: C
Having had to deal with battle at a somewhat young age, Artoria had to get involved in confrontations between Magi that would otherwise blow her cover, but mostly ended up having to repel the Holy Church's Enforcers after a Sealing Designation was placed upon her. These battles have honed her natural instincts rather well, allowing her to read the flow of battle and avoid taking hits from her enemies.
Magecraft: C
Mostly improvisation and relying on the concepts recorded within the Pendragon Tablet, Artoria developed sufficient skill in her Magecraft by the end of her life that she was a somewhat talented Magus so long as she could work the battlefield to her favor via traps and unpredictable moves combined with long duration planning.
Mana Burst: C
Not quite experienced in the way of Reinforcement, she has been able to flex her Prana in such a way to use Mana Burst to empower her strikes with either the Sealed Excalibur or Twin-Calibur. She can also empower Noblesse Oblige for a sudden boost in acceleration or a powerful leap into the air.
Mana Defense: D
Having heard tales of the Knights Of The Round Table, specifically Galahad, Artoria gave a shot at manifesting a barrier from her Prana. The result is a barrier that wraps around herself like an egg, and its capable of blocking all attacks up to C rank. Unfortunately, her inability to perform under a defensive classification yields her no flexibility in the skill, leaving it only able to shield herself.
Marksmanship: D
In her journey across Europe to escape the approaching jaws of the Holy Church's Executors, she picked up the skill to wield small firearms. She can at most wield a pistol with reliable efficiency, but anything larger like a rifle is difficult for her to handle.
Objective Bond: B
A rather potent Magecraft belonging to the old Pendragon Royal Family, it allows the user to sympathize and synchronize with the history and experiences of an object in their hands. The process isn't very fast, but its enough that by holding Excalibur, Artoria was able to learn all of King Arthur's skill in using the blade in just two years. She used this with Avalon as well, learning its function in a mere month due to its relative simplicity of use, also absorbing whatever skill that Twin-Calibur was wielded with in its much shorter lifespan. Unfortunately, Noblesse Oblige had never been driven before, so Artoria had to learn to ride it herself, but her current irregular summon has left her unskilled once more, the issue with having theoretical knowledge but none of the associated practical skills.
Powerless Shell: D
Artoria aimed to suppress her magical emissions to avoid any forms of detection by the Executors. She failed to reach that goal due to her Magic Core, though she was able to suppress it enough to avoid detection by those not at the top few ranks of the Magic Association.
Presence Concealment (Shade): C
By learning to stick to shadows often, learning to still her breathing and to move smoothly and calmly, she can minimize the disturbance of her surroundings to vanish from the perception of the normal person provided she is out of their sight. This was useful in times where she had to sneak past roaming Enforcers or just generally call as little attention to herself as possible.
Quick Draw: D
Artoria found herself relying an awful lot on whatever pistol she had in her possession at the time, so to facilitate her ability to defend herself via firearm, she honed her ability to quickly draw and aim it at her target, pushing herself just past human limits, though human limits aren't that impressive compared to a Servant.
Rapid Casting: D
Artoria was advised by Vivian to practice speaking as quickly as possible, so she achieved this skill mostly on a whim. It has found some use whenever she had to release her twin blades' full power however, so Artoria is glad she learned.
Rocket Jump: D
An original Magecraft useful enough to rank as a skill, Artoria developed and made instinctual compact Rune Arrays that produce a short, high intensity blast of force that pushes on the surface the Rune Array was placed on. The blast of force manifests via elemental magic, as a high pressure gout of high temperature fire with its effective mass raised via steam, in essence, a rocket blast. Unfortunately the compact nature of such an array burns out after no longer than a second, though one second is more than enough for what Artoria uses it for, primarily dodging that transitions into a strategic retreat or a very high jump.
Self Modification: E
Artoria's only E-Rank skill, she uses a crude variant of Reinforcement to enhance the flexibility of her body. This is not true Self Modification, but it barely falls under the same umbrella. She uses this skill passively to extend her range of motion, allowing her to dodge attacks that would otherwise be rather difficult to move out of the way from.
Unyielding Will: C (A)
A will present in all Pendragons before her in her own world, Artoria inherited the same force of will at her birth. It degraded due to her steadily falling self-confidence, but it can rank back up to A-Rank should she be sufficiently motivated to fight for a cause.
Variant: A
This skill was gained upon entry into the Throne Of Heroes. Due to Artoria's status as an otherworldly version of the King Of Knights who had bonded with Excalibur and Avalon during her lifetime, when fighting alongside another King Of Knights she gains a rank in her Strength stat.
NOBLE PHANTASMS
Pendragon Tablet
Ranking: B
Classification: Anti-Self
Range: 1
Maximum Targets: 1
A Space-Time Magecraft-integrated tablet computer. It catalogues, sorts and manages physical items that have been digitized and stored within. The tablet also plays host to Vivian Lynn's soul, who was Artoria's caretaker from the orphanage and Godmother appointed by Artoria's parents. It forever rests now within Artoria's soul to be summoned onto her left arm where she can easily access her other weapons and many other items, including her Noble Phantasms.
Vivian Lynn
Ranking: EX
Classification: Companion
Range: N/A
Maximum Targets: 1
Vivian Lynn was Artoria's caretaker in the orphanage in London when she was growing up, and often was the only person Artoria ever got along with due to her Frozen Maiden mask that she always had on. After her death and subsequent Soul Binding to Artoria and the Pendragon Tablet, Vivian revealed her status as Artoria's Godmother, appointed so by Artoria's parents when she was yet-unborn, but a status intended to be hidden. Vivian is a constant companion for Artoria, providing her company and assistance whenever she can. If Artoria loses consciousness or is otherwise unable to move, Vivian can take the reigns and move Artoria's body for her. She also can provide a scouting role in one of Artoria's D-Rank Will-o-Wisp familiars, and through that medium or via the Pendragon Tablet she can perform Spiritron Hacking at the level of a novice Wizard. Much like how Gilgamesh's Enuma Eilish is partially sentient, Vivian ranks at an EX level as well due to her complete autonomy and possession of a Spirit Origin despite her far lower power levels in comparison.
Noblesse Oblige
Ranking: D
Classification: Drive
Range: N/A
Maximum Targets: 2
A motorcycle that was designed to run on Prana, and was modeled after the 2019 Triumph Rocket 3. It was made by Arthur Pendragon and Morgan Le Fay, the parents of Artoria Lily Pendragon, and sealed within the Pendragon Tablet before Artoria was born. It is compatible with Mana Burst for rapid moments of acceleration or to send it flying upwards into the air where it can then naturally land gently on the ground once more. Its speed outstrips supercars and using Mana Burst it can accelerate far faster too. Unfortunately, its speed is outshined by other transportation-type Noble Phantasms possessed by more famous Servants due to its status as a former Mystic Code.
Excalibur (Sealed)
Ranking: C (A++)
Classification: Anti-Army (Anti-Fortress)
Range: 1-10 (1-99)
Maximum Targets: 1 (1000)
The exact same legendary sword wielded by Artoria Pendragon, the King of Knights, or in Artoria Lily Pendragon's world, King Arthur Pendragon. This Excalibur however is restrained behind a powerful seal that manifests like a weightless sheath, possessing its own edge but restraining the vast majority of Excalibur's true power. Its regular Anti-Fortress properties are reduced to short range Anti-Army, yielding only enough capacity to obliterate structures in short range via sword-beam and the otherwise wasted power going towards blasting away everything around the beam with a shockwave. When both Excalibur and Avalon are unsealed, her NP stat ranks up twice with some extra.
Sun-Calibur
Ranking: D (C)
Classification: Anti-Unit
Range: 1-20 (1-99)
Maximum Targets: 1
The solar counterpart to what is known as Twin-Calibur. Its most effective in the daylight for a rank increase, its edge passively enhanced by sunlight. To a lesser extent, the blade gets stronger the brighter the environment is, though natural sunlight carries the correct mystery to provide a rank increase. A sword-beam can be charged much like Excalibur can do, as Sun-Calibur greedily gathers sunlight to charge up a fiery sun beam.
Moon-Calibur
Ranking: D (C)
Classification: Anti-Unit
Range: 1-20 (1-99)
Maximum Targets: 1
The lunar counterpart to what is known as Twin-Calibur. Its most effective in the moonlight for a rank increase, its edge passively enhanced by moonlight. To a lesser extent, the blade gets stronger the darker the environment is, specifically light closer to the invisible rays present in moonlight, though natural moonlight carries the correct mystery to provide a rank increase. A sword-beam can be charged much like Excalibur can do, as Moon-Calibur greedily gathers moonlight to charge up an icy moon beam.
Twin-Calibur
Ranking: C (B)
Classification: Anti-Unit
Range: 1-50 (1-99)
Maximum Targets: 1
The two blades can be wielded in tandem during the brief twilight hours, providing combined sunlight and moonlight for a dual sword-beam. Both blades are swung upwards to meet each other with a light clang as they point at the target, a twisting beam of fire and ice that both burns and freezes the target. Its mostly ineffectual on non-human targets other than wearing away the surface, but on a human target the oscillating burning and freezing combined with the localized steam release causes burns of both heat and cold that also yield deep internal damages. Blocking the beam with a limb renders it completely useless and taking the beam in the chest can prove quickly fatal regardless of natural defenses that would otherwise withstand the sword-beam from the Sealed Excalibur at C-Rank.
Avalon (Sealed)
Ranking: C (EX)
Classification: Barrier
Range: N/A
Maximum Targets: 1
The sheath of Excalibur, designed to protect the user and defend them from harm, as well as to grant them immortality to time and the ability to rapidly heal from any injury. Its sealed state is something Artoria cannot undo without the assistance of another version of the King of Knights, and even then its a temporary release. Due to having lost the power of the Fay since the rule of King Arthur, its cost when unsealed and powered up without another version of the King of Knights nearby to borrow the blessing of the Fay is almost cruel and its enough to drain Artoria's Magic Core completely. In its sealed state, it still provides its pseudo-immortality in the form of agelessness, pausing Artoria at twenty years old when she was first capable of drawing Avalon from the Pendragon Tablet, although its healing is greatly reduced to the point of stopping bleeding but not much else, resulting in scarring. When both Excalibur and Avalon are unsealed, her NP stat ranks up twice with some extra.
Carnwennan (Sealed)
Ranking: E (B)
Classification: Anti-Unit
Range: 1-25
Maximum Targets: 1
The little-known dagger once wielded by King Arthur for his own safety in anonymity. It was a Mystic Code developed by Merlin to allow Arthur to venture out into the public without any of his citizens recognizing his appearance. Its passive effects are akin to a sort of "Notice-Me-Not" enchantment that turns the focus of other people away from the wielder as if they were insignificant to pay attention to, even if the blade is not drawn. When Carnwennan is drawn, the passive effects get stronger to the point of a complete lack of recognition of presence. Feeding it Prana turns on Presence Concealment and causes the appearance of the wielder to become indistinct to the point of vanishing from even devices such as cameras. When the blade is used to stab a target, it subtly redirects itself to the most lethal spot. When unsealed, it can even be thrown at a target and redirect itself to impact a vital area so long as it's thrown with the intent to kill and a specific target in mind. Unfortunately, Artoria was incapable of even drawing Carnwennan from the Pendragon Tablet until she entered the Throne of Heroes.
