A/N: So this is now going to be a revised version of the stat sheet from "Chapter 1", I'm turning this into a stat sheet that will allow me to present my current "loadout" of sorts for Artoria for you readers to look through, and for the format of this I'm going to place a short bolded bracket like this (with a note inside) to clearly show what has been modified for those who want to skim through the chapter quickly. I have taken helpful advice from another writer and I'm going to revise Artoria's stats to reflect this. And yes, thanks for telling me that Artoria's skills are far too many in number, I wholeheartedly agree. And I'm gonna use a small period or something between each skill or NP so its a bit cleaner.
BASIC INFORMATION
Name: Lily Le Fay
Servant Class: Saber/Caster [Warning: Irregular Summoning] (A/N: This now simply represents the intentional discrepancy between her mind and body.)
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, though of course this comes with drawbacks.
(A/N: Added some useful text since unsealing those two does have its major drawbacks.)
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.
.
Territory Creation: D
To compensate for her lack of raw power, she got crafty with her Magecraft and her use of non-magical equipment to manipulate a chosen battlefield to her advantage, laying traps and modifying terrain to inhibit or even damage enemies stronger than herself.
(A/N: Of course, since she is a Saber/Caster, she needs a Caster Class-Skill and this actually fits perfectly.)
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.
.
Double Summon: B
Artoria will always be summoned as both a Saber Class and a Caster Class due to her usage of skills from both Classes in equal measure and in tandem. This was gained through being accepted by Excalibur first and later Avalon, as well as wielding both weapons in their sealed forms with Magecraft techniques to support her capabilities.
(A/N: It seemed more fitting to limit Artoria to those two classes since nothing else remotely fits.)
.
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.
.
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 Spirit Hacking or simple recon.
.
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.
.
Magecraft (Modern Pendragon): B-
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. This skill encompasses her abilities to wield the Pendragon's special Runic Arrays whose formulas were derived from Norse Runes and research in Modern Runecraft.
(A/N: This was also a good suggestion from a fellow writer, it's logical to change those two "skills" that used Rune Arrays into simple applications of Artoria's Magecraft since they exclusively use her Magecraft anyways. Objective Bond also fell into this same classification since its ingrained in the Pendragon Crest itself.)
Known Unique Applications:
Frozen Hydroblast - Palm-based Rune Array, Projection-sprays heavy high-pressure supercooled water that freezes on contact, useful for immobilization.
Rocket Jump - Palm or Foot-based Rune Array, Projects and ignites heavy mixture of volatile fuel and steam that provides sudden explosive reaction force.
Objective Bond - Crest-based Rune Network, gradual skill synchronization with the history of a held object once activated, targets neural pathways and muscle memory.
.
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 D-Rank or a single attack at 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.
(A/N: I made a mistake with the defense rank, it was supposed to only be capable of blocking any attacks up to D-Rank, and a singular attack at C-Rank.)
.
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.
.
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. Its also useful should she have to quickly recite the aria of any other object, spell or Noble Phantasm.
(A/N: Added more flavor text.)
.
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.
.
Urban Combat Savant: B-
An amalgamation of skills that represents her ability to operate in a magic-rich urban environment. She can scan her surroundings visually and with her magic-sense to plan routes or determine targets, and she can focus on targets to determine a vague picture of their threat level. This also includes her skills in rapidly drawing and wielding small firearms that are a priceless asset in areas with low mobility like hallways and alleys. She fostered strong instincts in urban settings, allowing her to read opponents provided she can tunnel her focus on a single target. The last skill represented here is her ability to hide, regardless of her Class, by using shadows and her dark outfit to her advantage, this combined with smooth control of her body to reduce presence and sound output lets her go mostly unnoticed in a crowd by those who aren't skilled magical sensors.
(A/N: To reduce Skill Bloat, I've compounded six skills into one original skill, and it fits much, much better in my opinion. I eliminated Clairvoyance, Eye of the Mind (True), Instinct, Marksmanship, Presence Concealment (Shade) and Quick Draw. This works much better since her skill was fostered in urban settings which would of course make her skills work best in urban settings, kind of like how subtle instincts relating to sound propagation between buildings doesn't work in an open field.)
.
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, the Culmination of the Pendragon's Knowledge
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.
(A/N: Yep, and epithet that maybe fits. I don't really know, but I think it works.)
.
Vivian Lynn, the Modern Lady of the Lake
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 Spirit Hacking at the level of a skilled computer hacker. 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 miniscule power levels in comparison.
(A/N: I thought some minor rewording was necessary, Vivian really isn't strong at all, just quite technical, crafty and very knowledgeable. I also eliminated the Spiritron Hacking part and replaced it with something far more proper since Spiritron Hacking doesn't really work outside of the Moon Cell, nor was it even developed in this Artoria's generation as magic was not dwindling in her world. It appears my brain was stuck in a certain amazing Fate x Mass Effect fanfic that I really enjoyed while I was writing this bit. Oh, and her epithet basically confirms her baseline nature, but she is not the same Vivian as the one that met King Arthur in the past.)
.
Noblesse Oblige, the Ultimate in Urban Mobility
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.
(A/N: Continuing the trend, it got an epithet that I dearly hope fits it.)
.
Excalibur, the Sword of Promised Victory (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.
(A/N: I missed its epithet, that's needed to help you see which Excalibur it is.)
.
Sun-Calibur, the Sword of Glittering Sunlight
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.
(A/N: I had to give it an epithet as well. Basically every proper Noble Phantasm has one, so Sun-Calibur commands sunlight and it glitters with its power.)
.
Moon-Calibur, the Sword of Shimmering Moonlight
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.
(A/N: Like Sun-Calibur it also needed an epithet, and it does shimmer with its power derived from the reflected moonlight.)
.
Twin-Calibur, the Swords of Twilight Beauty
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.
(A/N: Because they are used together at twilight, well, they are supposed to be beautiful and made in Excalibur's image, so combined sun and moonlight is basically twilight, thus their combined epithet.)
.
Avalon, the Everdistant Utopia (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.
(A/N: Bam, it also needed its epithet.)
.
Carnwennan, the White Hilt of Anonymity (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.
(A/N: Carnwennan is not really shown anywhere in Fate, so I'm taking some liberties with it. Its epithet though I think is kind of cool.)
