T'initz Jatz'om
Spear That Unites Man And Beast
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
The Maya had no concept of horses or other beasts of burden, so the Spanish cavalry lead by Pedro de Alvarado appeared to them as no less than a horde of monstrous centaurs. In her duel with Pedro Lancer dealt a mortal blow to her adversary's horse, mistakenly believing she'd killed him. And thus lowering her guard long enough for Pedro to recover and land the deciding counter-attack.
This anecdote manifests in a passive conceptual ability surrounding Tecun's lance, which is made of shiny gemstone and woven with powerful sorcery. Strikes from her spear exert the concept of "treating mount and rider as one". Any wounds dealt to the opponent's mount will be mirrored in analogous injuries appearing on the matching part of their body. This effect only applies to living mounts, not inanimate ones like cars or chariots. Naturally this Noble Phantasm makes her the natural enemy of the Rider Class.
Nehaib
Thundering Initial Charge
Rank: B++
Type: Anti-Army
A Noble Phantasm representing the Maya captain Ixquiin Ahpalotz Utzakibalha, also known as Nehaib, who lead the initial charge on Pedro by transforming himself into a lightning bolt and flinging himself at the Spaniard. However he was repelled thanks to Pedro's divine protection from the Virgin Mary.
Even so, his close connection with Lancer allows her to call upon the captain's power as her own. Invoking this Noble Phantasm's true name she hurls her spear at the opponent where it transforms into a beam of lightning, piercing everything in its path like a railgun. By combining it with her
Mana Burst (Wind) Skill this Noble Phantasm's destructive power is further boosted, creating a "localized thunderstorm" along the path of Lancer's spear-throw. It also deals additional damage against foes known for oppressing and exploiting others. However this Noble Phantasm can be repelled if the target has an ability granting divine protection at rank B or higher.
Quetzaltenango
Divine Beast Metamorphosis
Rank: A+
Type: Support
In her fateful battle with Pedro, it is said that Lancer transformed herself into a giant quetzal bird for one last defiant charge at her foe. This legend crystallizes into Lancer's greatest Noble Phantasm. But to invoke it requires sacrificing the quetzal familiar that always stays by Lancer's side.
Upon reciting this Noble Phantasm's true name the quetzal's red breast (which according to folklore was dyed in Lancer's own blood during her final moments as a symbol of grief) is drawn out into a single drop of blood which levitates in the air. On touching Lancer's skin the droplet enlarges to envelop her whole body like a cocoon, obscuring her form while a powerful transformation takes place. With its purpose fulfilled and heart figuratively ripped out to give to Lancer the quetzal itself withers away and disappears.
Within moments the sphere of blood shatters like an egg to reveal Lancer in her new powerful form. Her arms from the elbow down trail off into a pair of huge wings with green and red iridescent feathers. Similar feathers line Lancer's lower body in a semblance of modesty (as her outfit was lost in the transformation) and her legs taper into vicious avian talons. Her hair grows longer and takes on the same green and red color as her feathers. Lastly a golden feather-crest resembling a crown appears on Lancer's forehead.
In this form Lancer's
Shamanism and
Affections Of The Feathered Serpent Skill are alike ranked up to A+, granting her access to powerful wind and light manipulation Magecraft that verges on divine Authority. Lancer in this form can be considered a partial avatar of Quetzalcoatl, and as such is treated as having
Divinity at rank C while this Noble Phantasm is active. Furthermore all her base parameters are raised by a full ranking.
This Noble Phantasm is permanently active once invoked. However as Lancer must sacrifice her beloved quetzal bird to use it, she'd never do so except as a last resort. Her other two Noble Phantasms are also sealed afterwards.
