God Hand
Lasting Proof of the Twelve Labors
: A
Type: anti-unit
Target: 1
Max Range: 1
Herakles' signature Noble Phantasm, operating under the same-as-usual principles:
* all attacks under Rank A are negated.
* Herakles-Vajrapani is resurrected after an attack kills him, each resurrection costing a life out of a stock of eleven expendable lives.
* if there is enough mana spent towards it, said stock of lives can be replenished, up to the maximum of eleven.
The same Noble Phantasm as always, because it is already ideal.
Marmyadose
The Hero's Club
: A
Type: anti-unit
Target: 1
Max Range: 1
The secondary form of the Sword of Herakles, a state in between how it appeared and appears as the sword of the hero and Herakles as a Saber, and before its reforging and reacquisition into the treasury of the Round Table--which is actually the famed club of Herakles, modified by himself to fit whatever situation arose.
The sword/club of Herakles, as Herakles-Vajrapani, is split between Vajrapani's relics: the Vajra and the holy lasso. The Vajra forms the body and blade of this iteration of Marmyadose, while the lasso--the same one used by Herakles to leash Cerberus and drag him to the human world--forms the handle. Vajra, the Diamond Pounder, and the holy lasso are both formidable tools even when separated, used individually.
But, together, they form a tool most suitable for the Great Hero to exert his essence and power.

The signature technique of Herakles, in its greatest form as that of Herakles-Vajrapani's--of the Great Hero who redeemed himself, had his story, and went on to inspire others.
--of a Herakles who found himself, in his travels after completing the Twelve Labors, in the distant East, and protector of the young vagrant prince Shakyamuni, Buddha-to-be. He became his guardian, and--over time--a Bodhisattva in his own right, worshipped and revered and an accompaniment.
Every single strike, thrust,
motion taken by the Noble Phantasm is wreathed in lightning--lightning that follows a continuity, from Zeus to
to Vajrapani...to Indra, and Nio--as precise as it is deadly, efficient, deadly-efficient. Herakles, Vajrapani, Indra; all reiterations passed down through the cultural continuity of India, alter egos of the orginal Greek source, and thus hold deference to it should the situation ever arise.
In line with the tradition of continuity of Vajrapani's vajra being used for the sake of protection rather than destruction, es long as this continuously-invoked Noble Phantasm remains in activation, then any actions taken by Herakles-Vajrapani with the intent of saving others increases the efficacy and success of said actions. Additionally, the effects are magnified in accordance to the directness of the acts of salvation; a fight to save civilization will automatically boost its Rank to A+, up to an action meant to protect an individual maxing out at Rank A+++.
Even with all this, it still maintains its innate anti-Phantasmal traits all the way.
