Class Skills
Presence Concealment: A+
Presence Concealment is the capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant. It is a common Class Skill of the Assassin class.
A Skill derived entirely from her Noble Phantasm Alhijab Al'awaliu.
Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. It is possible to disappear completely and become almost impossible to be detected, even against a Servant's perception. However, efficiency will decrease once preparations to attack are taken.
Personal Skills:
Revelation: B
Revelation is a Skill to "hear the voice of heavens" and take optimum action; a Skill equivalent to Instinct, a sixth sense regarding battles. However, 'Revelation' accommodates all matters related to the achievement of a goal (for instance, choosing the most suitable path while traveling). Because there is no basis to it, it cannot be explained to others clearly. It is a Skill held by the soul of the user.
It is said that after the death of her father, Assassin was gifted with a vision of Allah. After which, Assassin created the apocryphal Mushaf Fatima. Allah had appeared to Assassin to comfort her from the death of Muhammed, telling her the many things her children would accomplish, in addition to other future events. Supposedly, further details about the Day of Judgment and after are included. The book, however, is a purely Shi’a tradition. Sunni’s believe that Assassin had only been visited by Gabriel, and some say that she never received direct divine instruction at all.
Khamsah Palm: A
Khamsah Palm is an Arabic method of martial arts developed by Ali ibn Abi Talib, cousin to Muhammed, and instructed to Assassin. As with other martial arts, a Rank in A is only when one can finally say they have mastered it.
A martial arts fashioned by Ali specifically for Assassin, who feared that should he die while out to war, the daughter of the Prophet would be savaged with no one to protect her. But that in itself was a problem, as women doing battle even in self-defense is seen as something incomprehensible. Taking influences from nearby Jewish and Muslim discourses, Ali was able to create a way for Assassin to defend herself that still followed the teachings of the Quran.
A purely defensive martial art, its focus lies exclusively in the restoration of “peace” to a conflict.
Because it was created with Assassin in mind, it is also called the Hand of Fatimah.
Manifestation of Beauty: B
Manifestation of Beauty is the fearsome charismatic nature of a goddess of beauty. A power to charm others.
“[Assassin] was like a moon on its full night, or the sun covered by no clouds. She was white (fair) with a touch of rose color on her face, her hair was black and she had the beautiful features of the Messenger of Allah.”
“Whenever the Prophet returned from a trip, he would kiss [Assassin’s] neck and say: ‘From her, I do smell the fragrance of Paradise.’”
Considered the most beautiful woman in existence according to the Quran, Assassin’s beauty has reached a curse-like, conceptual level. Although not a goddess in any right, some Muslim denominations believe that Assassin was brought to the Prophet directly from Heaven by the angels Gabriel and Michael, raising her Divine Spirit aptitude leagues above many other Muslim heroes.
Whether or not this is true, all believe that Assassin’s beauty was given to her by Allah. A cheat-like Skill in the barest sense.
Noble Phantasm
Alhijab Al'awaliu
O Allah, Protect My Chastity
(Anti-Unit (Self), C)
The first ever veil, or hijab, that was created by Allah to preserve the innocence of all women.
Once, while Assassin was visiting Muhammad at his home, a blind friend of the prophet’s arrived for a visit. Assassin dutifully began to remove herself from their presence, but Muhammad stopped her and asked her why she’s leaving despite his friend being blind. She replied that it didn’t matter, that she could see him was enough.
When asked what was best for a woman by Muhammad and Ali, Assassin replied “the best thing is to not be seen by men, and not to see men”.
Thus, through the machinations of Allah and Muhammad, the veil was created. Similar in function to a Holy Shroud, the veil is a shimmering barrier of light that bends around the wearer, rendering them invisible. As the veil functions on light refraction rather than true mystical invisibility, in addition to granting Assassin her Presence Concealment skill, the veil is also capable of directed flashbang-like effects. Female Masters and Servants will find themselves more likely to resist the veil’s effects, while men are affected more easily.
Fadak
Desert’s Pastoral Oasis
(Anti-Army, A)
Fadak was a garden oasis in Khaybar, a tract of land in northern Arabia. When the Muslims defeated the people of Khaybar at the Battle of Khaybar; the oasis of Fadak was part of the bounty given to the Islamic prophet Muhammad, who gifted it to his daughter, Assassin.
While exclusively the property of Muhammad during his life, it was to be given to Assassin after his death as part of her inheritance. The ruling caliph rejected her claim, and Assassin vowed never to speak to the caliph again.
It is Assassin’s Reality Marble that crystallizes the love she possesses for her father, and his own love for her. There are many legends associated with Fadak, one of the most notable coming from Scheherazade’s own Arabian Nights. Harun al Rashid regrets Fadak not remaining in the hands of Muhammad’s family, and promises to return it to its rightful owners. It’s only then that he realizes Fadak encompasses his entire empire. The fact that neither Assassin nor her descendents ever asked for the land again proves that they cared very little for worldly possessions.
Thus, inside the Reality Marble exists a “world of no possessions”. Fadak as a landmark means nothing to Assassin, only the fact that her father gave it to her gives it any value. Fadak binds the concept of the divine paradise to all who enter, stripping enemies of item-based Skills and Noble Phantasms. As Noble Phantasms as a concept are things given to the Servant by the Grail itself, only certain Divine weapon NPs are exempt from Fadak’s effects.

Been a while. This was going to be my submission for Fate/Reclamation's Assassin until I found out it was Hassans-only.
