Reconquista
By the grace of the Lord, the land shall recover its original splendor
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: A
Description:
“Heed my voice. I hereby announce that the light of the Lord shall shine again over this land. Heretic and blasphemous ones, brace yourselves. Your sins shall be judged once you are in my hand.”
Not a Noble Phantasm actually possessed by Isabel in life, but actually something that represents and crystallizes her going and her life. It takes the form of arrows because it’s based on Isabel’s own coat of arms, and it’s the reason why she qualifies for the Archer class. Since Isabel chose
for her coat of arms as a representation of her husband
Fernando, this Noble Phantasm could also be considered an expression of her love. Thinking about it, her love that was distant yet struck with precision from afar was truly like a shot arrow.
As expected from an Archer, Isabel’s arrows have an excellent range, on the level of kilometers. When
Reconquista is activated, the single arrow that Isabel shoots towards the sky falls from between the clouds as a downpour of thin needles of light. The visual depiction is greatly akin to a crepuscular ray shining over the enemy front. That said, the damage output is rather low, even when taking into account that the great amount of projectiles makes it hard to emerge with few wounds from the battlefield. The reason for this is that this Noble Phantasm isn’t a Noble Phantasm for annihilating the enemy, but to conquer them.
In effect, as a Noble Phantasm meant for conquest, it has the property of expanding Isabel’s territory. The area between the place from which Isabel shoots the arrow and the place where it falls becomes her domains. She obtains the right to exert her authority over her terrain and those within it, overlapping the authority of others and suppressing whichever power they may have over the land.
― The land turns into Isabel’s domains. In other words, it becomes Castilla. Isabel’s parameters receive a fame boost as long as she’s stepping on her land, but that’s a trivial matter. What is really to be feared of it is her right to compel anyone standing on it to abide by her conditions.
“If you desire to live in my nation, your heart must bear love towards the same God my heart does. Should you refuse to comply…”
The advantage obtained through the
Catholic King skill is magnified and extended through the whole area, exerting a pressure that continuously lowers the parameters of the enemy, and that becomes harsher against demons or divinities not related with Christianity. Conversely, those who are devout Christians are not recognized as enemies, and therefore are unaffected. This effect can be in a sense considered an extreme kind of mental interference, what makes it possible to offer resistance by possessing an unbreakable determination. If the enemy surrenders and accepts Isabel’s terms from the bottom of their heart, the pressure will disappear.
