The Empire of the Finest Ruler
Optimus Princeps
Anti-Country, Rank ABerserker’s primary Noble Phantasm, allowing for the acquisition of territory. Having ruled over her empire’s greatest period of expansion, this is a right granted to Berserker. Unless already claimed by a magus, terrain in Berserker’s surroundings is passively converted into her territory.
After a short time period, Berserker begins to reap the benefits of Optimus Princeps, as the leylines and mana of the surroundings is granted to her use. She cannot harness more power at a single time than her full capacity amounts to, given that her Spiritual Core is unable to handle extreme amounts of magical energy at once. Berserker can also grant this magical energy to others through the principle of Alimenta, though prideful individuals would probably refuse her gift.
Optimus Princeps, once established, slowly begins to expand by itself, granting Berserker more and more territory as time goes on. The maximum size of her ‘empire’ can encompass an area roughly the size of Rome at its greatest.
The Bridge of the Golden Milestone
Pontem Traianis
Anti-Army (Self), Rank CA Noble Phantasm born from the numerous civic building projects attributed to Berserker. It takes its function from a bridge bearing Berserker’s name, a construction undertaken in order to facilitate an invasion. Pontem Traianis manifests as a ‘pathway through space’, allowing for near-instant transportation from one point to another.
Setting her current location as a starting point, Berserker can set a destination anywhere within the area under the effect of her Optimus Princeps Noble Phantasm. Though the initial cost in magical energy is steep, Pontem Traianis’ actual upkeep cost is relatively low. Once a ‘bridge’ has been set up, it can be activated at any time, allowing for others to pass through freely. While the pathway is open, magical energy must be expended or the Noble Phantasm will collapse. If Berserker runs out of magical energy, Pontem Traianis will collapse and the extant ‘bridges’ will vanish.
Due to the fame of Rome’s extensive road network, Berserker can maintain multiple iterations of Pontem Traianis at the same time, though all costs in magical energy are increased exponentially with each additional one.
Self-Destructive Love Conquers All
Omnia Vincit Amor
Anti-Army, Rank C+~EXAn anomalous power born from Berserker’s overwhelming love for her empire of Rome. Acting as the driving force behind her conquest, her massive expansion of the empire’s territory ended up dooming Rome to a slow decline. Though it can be used without such things, Omnia Vincit Amor’s power is chiefly derived from Optimus Princeps’ claimed territory.
Omnia Vincit Amor’s offensive power manifests as a simple, destructive blast. Though Berserker would like to claim that it is the representation of the life force of the soldiers that fought in her wars, the Noble Phantasm’s true form is simply the unleashing of the magical energy her territory holds.
When used with Berserker’s own power, its destructive power amounts to that of the average C-rank Noble Phantasm. However, Berserker can choose to sacrifice a portion of her territory for the greater good of her empire. Doing this results in the swift depletion of mana from the sacrificed portion, draining the land dry of its magical energy. This is then added to the normal power of Omnia Vincit Amor and quickly unleashed on Berserker’s enemies. Naturally, this kind of usage essentially kills part of the land claimed by Optimus Princeps, rendering it unusable in the future. The highest offensive power of this Noble Phantasm can only be achieved with the sacrifice of the full potential territory claimed by Optimus Princeps.
