5 Bows of Tutankamun, the Deadly gaze of Horus - B
Rider’s great skill in archery turned into a noble phantasm, normally this would take the form of a series of nine bows (as archer) and be stronger (by 1 rank), yet due to being summoned as Rider it is limited in strength. This noble phantasm forms up to 5 bows and lets loose a storm of up to a max of 1500 arrows (it it were all 9, it would be 2700 arrows), due to each arrow generally not being stronger than a B rank normal attack enough to maybe just take down a human (from his age).
Now this can be lock onto one target to “drown” them in arrows and have them chased down by the machine gun like fire or used on a large area or group of foes. This skill exists not just due to the anecdotes of Tutankhamen’s nine bows of Egypt, but also his skill in hunting and archery (he was buried with a lot of bows and was depicted with a bow in a chariot), and the fact that (at least in this story) he made some of the bows he was buried with (which are by rights strong mystic codes with the power of weak noble phantasms) himself. Another way of viewing this power is that the Pharaoh’s were seen as the avatars or children of Horus, as such his gaze lies upon them, in this way the arrows he fires can be likened to the gaze of Horus which strikes fear and death into the foes of Egypt.

The Metal Trumpets, The war horns which announce The Pharaoh’s Arrival - B - A+
The oldest war horns in the world owned by Rider and placed in his tomb, due to his great fame of riding chariots and the boast of the sun which his ancestor is famous for he is able to blow into one of the horns and a vessel will appear for him to ride, this can be a chariot (which may be able to ride perfectly across sand, propel itself without a horse, may have a minor defensive field on it which causes it to automatically steer out of the way of obstacles, and may even have an autopilot). Each of the vessels provide roughly a boost in his agility to B or A rank (only the “solar” ship can fly, and is the most capable in terms of actual weaponry (it has a sun cannon/laser/bow), but the highest cost of energy to maintain (although during the day it’s able to recharge on solar energy as well as mana)). If they are destroyed normally they don’t come back, however they could in theory be fixed by a caster class servant.
Due to not having his own solar ship he can choose which solar ship he uses (most generally he uses the more recent solar ships (although he cannot use Ozymandias’ as that belongs to him due to his association with Ra). However if absolutely dived to the limit he can call upon his best ship, Khufu, for Khufu was more than just a normal boat, indeed it was a replication of the Barque of Osiris, yet it lack the divine power the original held (still due to it’s mystery and power it is absurdly strong), yet due to Rider holding the blessing on Anubis/Anuput, his ship can be granted her blessing thus making it the Osiris Khufu, which boasts power equal to the Mesektet, divine protection, flight, power over disease, souls, and the dead (plus the ability to regenerate energy from the moonlight and fire beams of “darkness and death which siphon the life from foes (essentially think a heat absorbing beam rather than heat ray).
Perhaps because of this fact Rider refers to the ship as the boat of the moon, due to the fact that if Meseket is the ship of Ra, which shines with warmth, life, and light, then he holds the ship of the moon, that which delivers the dead, and steals warmth, takes life, and shines beneath the darkness of the night (it is literally able to spread disease and death and fire a cold beam which takes away light and warmth, can fire energy blasts, and it grows stronger during the moonlight (it allows it to use moonlight to reduce the cost of operating it).

Anuput Ammit Tut, the judgement of jackal who bears the Pharaoh’s curse - A+
It is said that a great many strange events happened when trying to search for and open Rider’s Tomb, first, a falcon, the symbol of Horus, protector of the pharaohs was spotted in the west, which was in old Egyptian times taken as a sign, for a bird to be in the west was a warning, a warning that in their case, they may be prying or tampering with matters or places that they have little right, and that the eyes of the gods were upon them. The next sign was that a canary was eaten by a cobra, which had snuck into Carter's own house and eaten the bird, the cobra was a symbol of the Egyptian monarchy and was worn upon the crowns which adorned pharaoh’s heads. Another warning was sent that their meddling was neither wanted nor unseen.
After the tomb was finally opened, soon after in a spurt of bad luck, Lord Carnarvon accidentally cut a mosquito bite, which then caused his blood to become infected (paralleling how Rider may have died of Malaria in life or at least was very ill with it) later perishing as a result. However, before his death, supposedly Arthus Weigall gave Carnarvon 6 weeks to live, in 6 weeks he was dead. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself blamed beings of fantasy and myth for a role in Carnarvon’s death. After that Lord Carnavorn’s financial backer George Herbert also died within little more than 4 months after the tomb’s opening, of yet another infected mosquito bite. By the 16th of May 1923, George Jay Gourd the 1st, who toured the tomb developed a fever and died.
In 1925, Bruce Ingram was supposedly given a mummified hand and bracelet from the tomb by Carver. This act was done in spite of a warning speaking of fire, water, and pestilence descending upon anyone who dared moved the Pharaoh’s body. Following this foolish act Ingram’s house was burned down, then flooded after he had rebuilt it. In 1926, Howard Carter saw Jackals, much like the Anubis statue for the first time in his 35 years of work in the desert and before 1940 he died of cancer. In 1928, A. C. Mace died from arsenic poisoning a few years after having helped excavate the tomb. Carter’s own secretary died on November 15 of 1929, after being smothered by an unknown assassin or group. However, in spite of this great debate still remains, and no proof ever emerged of the Pharaoh's curse being ever proven or disproven.
In effect this allows Rider to call a statue of Anubis and forms a bounded field, then is able to set it so that any people of certain groups (traditionally 9 as that number holds the most mystery and significance in terms of defense against foes in Egyptian mystery (as in the 9 bows)). Much like the curses brought forth upon them by Moses by crossing this threshold or violating certain terms within it, the luck of those within is very badly affected, most normal humans or magi would die in mere hours of horrible accidents and coincidences, against beings like spirits or servants they would suffer a massive drop on luck (2 or 3 ranks if the don’t have divinity or divine protection) and a large variety of effects may occur.
The variety of these effects include animals like may turn on them (particularly serpents, crocodiles, scorpions, hippos, birds of prey, wolves and blood sucking insects), being haunted by illusions or nightmares, spirits of animals and Egyptian warriors may manifest and attack them randomly, natural disasters may occur due to mystery suddenly surging in the local environment, and even they may be best by toxins (airborne or from wounds they sustain), mental interference, and such. This generally will last for around as long as Rider desires, until the energy burns itself out, or those targeted die or are forgiven of their crimes. This noble phantasm is particularly effective against those who have committed great crimes against Anubis (meddling with the dead, tampering with life, trying to avoid death, etc.) and have a villainous nature.
