Novem Orationes
Each Life A Prayer, Spark Brilliantly In This Cruel World
Rank: B
Type: Support
A Noble Phantasm crystallizing Ruler's status as leader of the "Nonuplet Sisters" that together obtained fame for their resolute faith and defiance of the Roman Empire. Born all at once in a miraculous ninefold conception, Ruler's mother regarded her children with scorn likening them to a litter of swine and ordered her maid to drown them in a nearby river. However her servant took pity on the infants and instead gave them over for adoption in a remote village. Growing up they unanimously refused to bow before the Pagan gods and were imprisoned in a tower, before breaking free and travelling the land to rescue their imperilled siblings in faith.
Their shared birth, faith and martyrdom combine to create this Noble Phantasm, the culmination of the existence known as the "Nonuplet Sisters" that managed to terrorize the Roman Empire. In a miraculous feat of High Thaumaturgy made possible only through their exceptional sibling bond, upon invoking its true name Ruler partitions her Saint Graph into up to nine separate instantiations that represent her sisters. While their senses and memories are linked, giving the team an unrivaled sense of coordination in battle, each sister still retains her distinct personality from life rather than being subsumed under Ruler. Their names are
Eumelia,
Liberata,
Gema,
Genebra,
Germana,
Basilissa,
Marica and
Vitoria.
With this Noble Phantasm Ruler is effectively nine Servants in one, and as well as personalities her sisters have different aptitudes that make them suited for various tasks. Being able to delegate to her offshoots makes Ruler a terrifyingly omnicompetent monster of a Servant able to seemingly do anything and be anywhere. However as a byproduct of splitting her Saint Graph Ruler's total stat pool is distributed evenly amongst all her sisters on the field. With all nine active their strength would be 1/9th of what Ruler would possess alone. They lack Ruler's Personal Skills except
Subversive Tactics at the same rank but can use her second Noble Phantasm.
If one of the sisters dies she can't be summoned again for the remainder of the Grail War and her stats are redistributed to the surviving ones. Should Ruler herself perish all her sisters will immediately disappear from the World lacking the core to support their existence. Without invoking this Noble Phantasm's true name, Ruler can channel the collective experience and knowledge of her sisters as well as communicate with them telepathically, essentially making her nine souls in one body. Mental attacks on Ruler will be weakened due to having to target nine separate minds supporting each other.
"Sure it can get a little busy sometimes but it's nice to never be lonely. No matter where I am I know my sisters are right there with me."
Vere Martyrii
From My Pain Springs Pure Waters
Rank: C+
Type: Anti-Unit
A symbolization of the holy spring that gushed forth from the spot of Ruler and her sisters' martyrdom. As a Noble Phantasm it's enacted as a defensive ability that punishes attacks by making jets of holy water spray from Ruler's wounds. Concentrated keenly enough to slice like a blade, these sacred streams emerge from even the slightest cut on Ruler's body and vengefully lash out at her assailant. Their speed and pressure scales based on the damage inflicted upon Ruler, so a minor scrape would only issue a weak D-ranked water blade that could lightly cut flesh while severe slashes are met by an A-ranked attack surging forth forcibly enough to cleave solid rock.
Additionally as holy water these attacks exert greater effectiveness against demonic and evil individuals, searing at their very essence with the purity of God. Should Ruler actually die a huge geyser of holy water springs forth from her body and rains down across the surroundings. Towards enemies this carries the last vengeance of God for killing Ruler, drops piercing their flesh like a hail of spears while allies are reinvigorated in the gentle shower and have their status ailments cleared.
Ruler is unable to damage herself to invoke this Noble Phantasm as it only responds to attacks from an enemy.
