The Tower That Shall Pierce The Heavens

Rank: A++
The Tower of Babel was without a doubt one of the most ambitious project ever attempted by humanity. A wonder of both construction and magecraft, it was an enormous structure made with the attempt to break reality borders to intrude in the Heavenly realm and allow for anyone to see and reach the Divine. The failure of that project is commonly seen as an allegory for how man's hubris is destined to fail.
As the ruler of Babel around these times, Lancer is more commonly seen as the one heading the project and thus is the natural owner of this Noble Phantasm. It takes the form of none other than the large and overtly ornate mace he uses as his primary weapon. Indeed, he used his
Saint Graph Expansion skill to forcibly shrink the tower and allow himself to be summoned as a Lancer rather than the Caster class he would normally be under with this Noble Phantasm. Despite its unwieldy structure, the quality of its construction and material still make it a top-class weapon.
Trough this atypical form, Lancer can use what is basically a weaponization of the Tower's intended purpose. Upon caling its true name, it will revert back to its true humongous size and rush at near-teleportation speed towards a target designated by Lancer, with a huge amount of damage being inflicted should the target be an object or living being. Befitting of its role as something meant to reach the divine realm, it possess a piercing effect that bypass any obstacles, such as distance, barriers or even the target being in another dimension. Furthermore, the building is sturdy enough and its inside stable to the point that it can be used as a vehicle instead of a mean of attack.
One Language, One Empire

Rather than a truly separate Noble Phantasm, this is another property of the Tower of Babel, stemming from a later interpretation of its meaning. It was said that seeing the foolishness of an humanity united under one culture was up to, God set a curse on them that divided their Universal Language in several ones, leaving them unable to understand each other and leaving to the splitting of the people. In more modern times, it has been theorized that the tower itself was an allegory for the custom of Babylonian kings having buildings built or renovated to represent their rulership and their domination over people they just conquered, such as the Jewish people after Nebuchadnezzar II subjugated the kingdom of Judah. Under this interpretation, the description of a division of language is a celebration of the Fall of the Babylonian Empire and how Jews were allowed to have their cutura idendity once more, free from Babylonian dominion.
Following this interpretation, the Tower has another property: to reverse the division and language and unify them again. Or in other words, to reassert
dominion over humans. This effect is activated by calling out its true name to let the Tower grow to full size, then letting put itself on the ground instead of launching it. Upon doing so, the building will cast a Bounded Field around itself. Any being caught in it will progressively be 'unified'. Languages willl mutate to become an imitation of the original one, understandable by all affected, and they shall see their cultural identities such as values, custom or religion replaced by those approved by Lancer. In other words, they become part of his Kingdom, and his own words become the actual Original Language to them, making them automically obey anything he says as it become part of their nature. This effect take more or less time depending one one's willpower, and may be stopped by anti-Mental Interference abilities. Furthermore, as it doesn't discern between mortal and divinities, it can be said to be another way of making men reaching the divine.
It is a devastating power to be sure, turning anyone into a puppet for Lancer. However, maintaining take a ridiculously huge amount of magial energy, and just as the original Babel project failed, changes will be reverted instantly once the Noble Phantasm end. After all, a completely bound humanity like this is completely contrary to the Human Order.
