Class Skill(s):
Riding (A): One can ride all animals and any vehicles with exceptional expertise, save for beasts of phantasmal, divine, and dragon origin. Saber was a warrior princess feared for her mastery of arms. Only one other[1] was said to be her equal. Though, no one was as skilled with the mounts of war—especially, and most specifically, chariots—nor harbored such a love for them as she. Rank increases to A+ if she becomes fond of the mount she chooses to commandeer.
Magic Resistance (C): Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Personal Skill(s):
Battle Continuation (B): The ability to fight while suffering from life-threatening injuries. In addition, one can even remain alive for a short period of time even after receiving major wounds. Saber was called “the hardest warrior ever known” by her equal, who was so great a warrior they ascended to godhood.
Instinct (A+): A refined sixth sense. When outside of combat, one is able to sense danger before it strikes. When in combat, one is able to feel the flow of battle and predict their enemies’ movements. At this rank, one’s aptitude in battle is akin to true precognition. To do battle with her equal, for what Saber lacked in skill of arms she made up for by learning their every move and being able to counter them down to an art-form.
God Eater (C): An ability obtained from combating, defeating, and consuming spirits, whether they be nothing more than shades haunting the land, gods reigning in the clouds above, or devils punishing the damned below. Against spiritual entities, those with divine blood flowing through their veins, or even Divine Spirits themselves, one gains an increase in damage. If a spirit is defeated or driven back, a temporary increase in stats is possible. At this rank, all stats can be increased by one if it is a spirit greater than a wraith and the duration will last a short period of time afterward. If completely vanquished, the increase is permanent. In order to even come close to being her rival’s equal, Saber had to garner a strength unfathomable—and quickly.
Protection of the Faeries (D-): One is granted the blessing of the supernatural. In Saber’s case, it is a curse. Gained from being born out of a certain witch’s hatred for the Tuatha Dé and their descendants, Saber cannot get mana from nearly any other source than her own reserves, save for that of her Master’s. In addition, her connection with her Master is also weakened, making such a simple thing as a transfer of mana between them just that more difficult. Furthermore, specific to Saber due to possessing God Eater, in the event that a mana transfer with her Master is lacking or outright impossible, she is able to extract what she needs from those with equal or greater mana around her.
Mystic Eyes (C, Fear): Grants one the power to interfere with the outer world. Given for the sole purpose of breaking through the gate separating her rival’s abode from the known world, Saber is able to dominate and bend others beneath her will. In the time otherwise not used for preparing for her confrontations with her rival, Saber used her visual prowess to subjugate warriors to her cause.
Noble Phantasm(s):
Claíomh Solais (Anti-Personnel, B): The sword of light brought by the Tuath Dé from a foreign city to the east and wielded by Nuada Airgetlám, their first High King. Acquired by Saber through unknown means, it was so bright and fiery nothing could diminish its light. In the hands of Saber, it becomes ‘a weapon none are capable of properly defending against’. Meaning, one will still receive searing wounds by its blade even if successfully blocked, parried, or otherwise stopped. Though, the damage inflicted will be far less devastating than by a glancing or connected blow.
