Self-Swinging Sword of Steel
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: C+
Range: 1~2
Max. Target: 1 person
A fabulous magic sword that can be found in many old Russian tales of folklore. It is one of the numerous magical artifacts gifted to Rider in his tales. Upon his summoning as either a Servant of the Rider or Saber class, this sword is granted to him as one of the many Noble Phantasms he can choose from. It is a sword that acts as if it was sentient and had it's own will. As such when he wields this sword - no matter the lack of his own talent or the capability of his enemy's talent - the sword itself will force Rider to swing at the enemy in angles most favourable in the situation. By seemingly it's own will, the sword analyzes the situation, finds the most suitable measures of counter-attacking against the enemy and makes Rider swing it accordingly - because of this, no sword swing is wasted despite Rider's own lack of skill.
When he is summoned as a Servant of the Saber class, the sword would retain it's ability to slay dragons and be adequalty boosted by his enemy's draconic attributes - the more he battles such enemies, the more the sword will absorb the mana of his enemy and release it in a scorching wave of flames similar to that of a dragon. On a side note, the sword itself seems to be derived from the sword of Theseus because in it's nature, it is the same ''hidden sword'' meant to be found by a hero, for an example, under a rock. Due to this, if Rider were to fight with Theseus - despite his own's swords capabilities - there is no doubt that this sword would be broken by it's predecessor.

The Little Humbacked Horse
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: B
Range: 2~30
Max. Target: 150 people
Simply named after its original owner, this is the magic horse given to Rider by the evil witch Baba Yaga in his quest to defeat the wizard Kashchev the Immortal - who similarly owns a magic horse to rival Rider's own. In another tale, is it the little humbacked horse that helps Rider become a hero and earn the hand of a princess from another land. It is a magnificent black horse that has attached four large wings to itself - an evil phantasmal existence that has clear advantage against other phantasmal beasts of it's nature as it was given to Rider with the purpose of slaying Kashchev's own magic horse. Though he also has a magic rug, this is Rider's preferred mount when it comes to aerial combat.
Because it is the finest steed owned by Baba Yaga, this horse is deeply imbued with black magic to triumph over it's enemies. As such, it possesses a natural talent to enter something akin to an ''overdrive'' mode in which it's whole body is coated with black flame-like mana to charge and rip-apart it's enemies. Perhaps it is no different than the Mana Burst skill possessed by numerous heroes. And again, it is no secret that the flying magic horses that can be found appearing in Rider's legends were inspired by the older Pegasus who can be found in Greek myth. Because of this, Rider would lead a losing battle against Pegasus should he meet a hero that rides it in battle. Even so, this man eating horse would be a dangerous beast to face by anyone that crosses Rider's path.
Пряжа Болл
Path-Finder of Convenience
Type: Anti-Concealment
Rank: D
Range: - (Varies on situation)
Max. Target: - (Varies on situation)
A ball of yarn that was given to Rider by an old man during one of his quests. It is a magical ball that will never run out of thread no matter how much of it is spread out. It's purpose is quite convenient to say the least. As a Noble Phantasm, it primarily functions as a path-finder for Rider. Upon the activation of it's true name, the knot of the ball will suddenly fly into a distance and show Rider the path to the object of his search as long as said object isn't located in a place that cannot be reached by normal means - such as alternate dimensions.
The thread of the ball is visible only to Rider himself - though it doesn't take much effort for a Magus to sense a line of magical energy spreading out. Even so, the thread cannot be cut as it will simply reform itself and lead Rider to his desired path no matter what his enemy does. It is a ball completely similar to that of the thread of Ariadne granted to Theseus in Greek mythology. On the other hand, as far it's battle usage goes, it could be said to be quite the useless Noble Phantasm, but even then it has some uses. This is because Rider has developed a fighting style with it similar to that of Medusa - in which she entangles a certain area with her hair to prevent the enemy from escaping. It could be used as a type of spider net to stop enemy Magi from running away. It's completely useless against Servants though...
Серый волк
Shapeshifting Lycan
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: A+
Range: 1~20
Max. Target: 40 people
Rider's dearest friend and his most powerful mount crystallized as a Noble Phantasm. A large, gray wolf that is capable of speech and possesses extreme strength and swiftness in combat. It is the wolf that ate Rider's horse during one of his tales and, in order to make up for it, decided to travel alongside Rider and help him in his tasks. It's true appearance is that of a beautiful
woman. An entirely loyal companion, she has a tendency to bicker with Rider but she would never go against him. When summoned as a mount, her battle capability is so vast that she could easily tear apart a normal Servant in half. Furthermore, when summoned in forest locations specifically, her knowledge of the forest is strong enough to use the cover of trees to her completely advantage - leaping from one tree to another at incredible speeds while using them as platforms to bounce off of.
Additionally, it is no secret that she is able to shapeshift into anything she desires, but her battle capability greatly decreases. She is the Noble Phantasm Rider is likely to use in ground battles and is, perhaps, the biggest reason for Rider's great combat strength. There is, however, another trump card that she possesses as a last-ditch countermeasure against the enemy. Should Rider ever receive a fatal injury while she is still alive - even if Rider is long dead - she can activate her true name and sacrifice her physical body to reset Rider's HP and bring it back to a 100% state. A crystallization of the part of their legend in which she revived Rider after his brothers had him killed and ripped to shreds.

Bird of the Faraway Land
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: B+
Range: 1~40
Max. Target: 200 people
In Slavic folklore, the Firebird is a magical beast from a faraway land that glows brightly like the sun and is the subject of numerous stories in legend. An extremely powerful offensive Noble Phantasm possessed by Rider, but it's true name can be activated only once. When it is not activated, this Noble Phantasm manifests as a small birdcage carried by Rider with a flickering flame in the middle of it. It can be used to illuminate dark places so it's usage can be quite convenient, but it's true purpose is for combat after-all.
Once he releases it's true name, the doors of the birdcage will open and out of it will be released a large phoenix-like bird. A mighty Phantasmal Beast which's single feather can be said to contain enough explosive power to blow up a single apartment room. With a shriek, the bird will sky dive towards the opponent and upon contact burst out into a large wave of flames that can easily burn the surroundings to a crisp and scorch the earth. Similar to dragon-fire, though it is powerful, it's might is not concentrated into a single point but rather it's spread out across a wide range area so it's purpose is more-so for battles against armies than an individual. This is because an individual can defend with more ease against the flames by only contracting their defense to a single point - themselves.
