Rank: C
Fitting for Lucan’s secondary role as the Butler of Arthur’s Court, or the Cup-Bearer of the King. While it was his duty to overlook the workings of the household, it was a butler’s most important duty to provide the wine - a major tradition throughout the centuries. In Lucan’s case, he personally bore Arturia’s cup and had a major sway during feast and rituals. In certain cases, he personally gift a flask of Camelot’s best wine as a blessing to those who were to undertake a grand quest.
Upon speaking the NP’s True Name, a opulent pitcher or glass of wine will appear in his hands. Upon drinking its contents, any human will find their fatigue and ailments healed, along with being blessed with good fortune. If it were for a Magus, they gain an above-average ability to dispel hostile magecraft akin to B-ranking
Magic Resistance. If it were offered to fellow Servants, their physical Parameters will increase by one rank, and they will not require the Prana from their Master for a period of time. In a way, this NP can be offered like a
Proof of Friendship, with the sharing of wine being a ritual of mutual agreement. Since most deals are sealed with a drink, if the opponent broke a deal/promise made with Lucan in any way, the enchantment offered by the wine will instantly be dispelled.
But as the duty of the Cup-bearer of the King to taste-test the drinks for poison, Lucan must drink first to prove that the exchange is without treacherous intent. As such, it is physically impossible for anyone else to drink the wine before Lucan drinks it first. Meaning that poisoning the wine beforehand is highly counterintuitive. Additionally, there is also a small yet probable chance that the wine will have the opposite effect, with an added bonus of bizarre hallucinations for an indefinite amount of time.
Goddamn it, Merlin.
Golautalch
Brilliant Facet to the Swords of Light
Anti-Unit
Rank: E~A+
The blade Lucan wields possessed no name at all, but is referred as one of the many
Claidheamh Soluis, or “Blade of Light” from a myriad of Irish and Celtic legends. The origins of the first Blade of Light was unclear, with many sources claiming it to be an embodiment/legacy of legendary weapons, from Lugh’s sling to even Excalibur itself. Because of the blade’s connections to these other legendary armaments, it becomes stronger from their influence. In a way, “
Golautalch” isn’t really a name, but a stated fact of the weapon’s existence as a mere fragment.
By uttering its “Name,” the weapon draws its strength from the many legendary weapons of eons past, powering it up in the form of light emitting from the blade. However, just by drawing from the legacies of the past only change the blade into a D-ranking NP. In actuality, it draws power primarily from the NPs wielded by other Servants.
The more relation with
Golautalch the other NP possesses, the stronger
Golautalch gets. For example,
Gáe Bolg will only up it by one rank; although it is a weapons of great renown, it bears little relation to the Swords of Light. In turn, weapons like
Excalibur,
Airgetiam, or even
Caladbolg will strengthen the sword by two ranks. But in order for the strengthening to work, the other Servants must have their Noble Phantasms at hand. Also, this only works for weapon-based NPs, not conceptual ones.
Being an embodiment to the various legendary arms, Lucan can give up the strength of
Golautalch to power up another weapon-based NP. Not only will the recipient’s NP will increase by two ranks, their weapon will be basked in golden light, similar to Excalibur. If weapons like Excalibur Galantine receives this blessing, expect a attack of massive destructive potential. However, after “giving”
Golautalch to someone else, this NP will be permanently sealed afterwards.
