Quick question: Is Arthur able to transform into spirit form? I remember reading somewhere in Phoenix's translations(maybe as a sidenote) that he's able to, and given that we know that his wish was for the salvation for the Holy Grail I think it's a yes. I just want to be sure.
Sorry, I've should've posted this earlier, but here is the character profiles for Volume 4 of the novels.

Bryn's NP name reeks of Dante lel.
Something
Elsa's a cameraman? Should have summoned George then.
Also Brynhild Komédia. When will we learn what it can do.
I find the details surrounding that "3rd Noble Phantasm" pretty interesting, nonetheless. Unsure if this third one came from the drug that Nigel gave her or was something else.
If she were a Rider, and with a name like that, I would have assumed it would summon the wagon she used for her trip to Hel in the "Helreid Brynhildar" poem. Since she's a Lancer, though, maybe it'll recreate her funeral pyre? A suicide attack similar to Arash's own Stella?
Well, that's only speculation on my part. :-)
I agree with you on Stella, though. I think it should have had two modes: a regular "supershot", and the true one which acts like a combination Broken Phantasm / suicide attack.
:\ that just ruins what a Noble Phantasm is though. Stella is super special, and it runs with the lore. What you're suggesting is to have almost every Noble Phantasm have some kind of nerfed version that isn't incredibly taxing on the Servant, but this is just my simple rant against your comment.
Well, I wasn't thinking that generally, to be honest, but what I proposed does have some basis in canon with Arturia's "Excalislash" and "Excaliblast".
that's because one of excalibur's concepts is "sword that amplifies"

Many Noble Phantasms shouldn't be compared to Stella, because these Noble Phantasms take away a significant amount of Magical Energy rather than suicide. And with how Stella's lore works,
Arash must die for this to occur. Stella isn't made to be something that kills or destroys; Stella is a Noble Phantasm that's supposed to end wars, conflicts, etc. forever.“Now, o’ being who created the moon and stars…… Behold my deeds, my death, my spenta armaiti which I must carry out.”
