Beriyth Kəná'an
Oathsworn Bow Of Fecundity
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Territory
A Noble Phantasm crystallizing God's promise to the Jewish people to conquer the Promised Land of Canaan. A man wholeheartedly devoted to God who served to carry forth that promise when many of his peers would've abandoned it Archer is fit to wield the covenant taking the form of a shimmering, ethereal greatbow strewn with prayers to YHWH in Hebraic and divine script. The ends of the bow are also twined in grapevines that drip honey. Instead of ordinary arrows it looses javelin-sized bolts of light, manifestations of His sanction fit to pierce the hardened hides of the monstrous giants that dwelt in Canaan.
Following invocation of this Noble Phantasm's true name the next arrow from Archer's bow carries the concept of "Canaan" that has different effects depending on whether it hits a living target or a territory. Should the arrow embed in the ground it emits a Mana-pulse that hijacks all local leylines, claiming the land for 20 meters around as "Canaan". True to the region's title as the
"Land of Milk and Honey" told in the Bible the terrain spanned by this Noble Phantasm bursts forth with fecundity, sprouting bountiful produce that restores one's health and magical energy when ingested. However this is only an offshoot of the true effect, recreating a pocket of the Age of Gods wherever Archer's arrow lands.
Ordinary humans and Servants from the Age of Man suffer symptoms ranging from weakness and dizziness to suffocation from the immense saturation of Mana in the air, while Age of Gods heroes such as Archer are empowered with a rank-up to all parameters there (Archer himself gains an additional rank-up by way of territorial advantage). Furthermore Archer may freely grant the blessing of YHWH to others such as his Master and allies enabling them to traverse the region unmolested. These pocket Age of Gods' last for roughly half a day before fading.
Upon instead piercing an opponent, this Noble Phantasm's effects are far more violent and terrorizing. The concept "
Canaan
Land of Milk and Honey
" is forced on their body directly, lush vegetation erupting from their flesh as honey flows from every one of the target's orifices; incurring a rapid and gruesome death that bypasses most forms of defense. The aftermath of this attack leaves the victim's body consumed in a twining
of plantlife covered in flowers and honey, a beautiful monument evincing little of their brutal demise. Simultaneously declaring God's promise to deliver Canaan unto the Israelites and their annihilation of the giants that previously inhabited the region, a promise of prosperity from the Lord that's tantamount to merciless calamity upon Archer's foes.
