Le Fay
Lady of Avalon
Morgan with Le Fay activated (Source: Toei Animation)
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Rank: EX
Range: 1
Max Targets: 1
It’s Caster’s own blood, the blood of the First Fairies of Avalon, born from the Abyss of Primeval Beasts, guarded by the two Dragons of Britain. At first looking like a normal human, even so that Uther never even noticed her power, when her natural instincts are triggered her fairy heritage is unleashed, obtaining magical abilities beyond the best human mages.
Originally a constantly-active type Noble Phantasm which allowed her to bypass Magic Resistance and boosted her MGI and AGI stats by one rank, after assuming the Magical Girl persona she suppressed her fairy characteristics so that she could look like a normal girl. In her suppressed form she is only a little stronger than a normal human (like, 2x an adult) and her spiritual foundation is so weak she can’t be identified as a Servant, which is very helpful in identification missions.
When Caster needs to fight she activates her blood, or, as she calls it, “Mahou Shoujo Form” through the command “
Magical Witch, Shine On”, which encloses her in a protective Bounded Field where a transformation sequence happens, gaining a frilly dress, boots, accessories, a new haircut and fairy wings, finally becoming “
Magical Witch Morgan”. This whole thing is obviously not necessary, she could simply unleash her power and be over with it but, given her love of Magical Girls, a wise Master would let her do as she pleases, and, after all, special effects make everything better.
The protective bounded field is quite sturdy and is able to withstand attacks up to A-rank and Noble Phantasms up to C-rank, weakening those of higher ranks. When asked why all this work only to protect the whole sequence when she could materialize the clothes and other thing instantaneously and such a powerful bounded field is a burden on her Master’s magical energy she would answer: “
But transformation HAS to be a free action! Can’t I do it Master...?” (。•́︿•̀。). If you are said Master and are still against it after such cuteness, you are a monster without salvation, simply as that.
In her new form, Caster’s sudden burst of fairy power brings her parameters up much more than what this Noble Phantasm is able to do when constantly active, boosting them from E- to the values as indicated in the parameters section, meaning not only she can rely on her vast array of magical skills but also fight on close quarters equally with most Heroic Spirits from the Knight Classes. The transformation, however, can’t be kept forever. The curse from
Favored Princess of Avalon weakens her when using this power, and her parameters will drop the more time she stays transformed. It tries to compensate with the bonus against Evil and Chaotic enemies, but it’s not enough in long fights. When the curse takes full effect, her stats will return to those of her normal Caster form (STR: E, END: E, AGI:C, LCK: E, MGI: A+), but she will be too tired to fight, and will suppress her blood again so that she can transform once more after a good rest. Given this, her best combat method is to carefully study the enemy while using little power to then unleash her best spells once she gets hold of some advantage. If it fails, however, a safe escape route should be assured, else...
Gambateinn
Beyond Reality, I Shape the World
Morgan using the wand (Source: Pretty Cure Wiki, HCP ep 34)
Type: Anti-World
Rank: A++
Range: Caster’s Field of Vision
Max Targets: All ones Caster can see
Gambateinn means “magic wand” in old norse, and is, effectively, Morgan’s magic wand.
Made from the wood of one of the sacred Apple Trees of Avalon, it can be said that the concept of Avalon as an utopia that guards the Planet from external menaces is carried inside the wand.
The name of the wand is not actually Gambateinn, it is a generic term that Morgan applied to it as a word that carries Mystery, a word of the gods, given both the British and Norse gods carry the same basic origin.
Its original name is
Avalon Fortuna, the “Treasure of Avalon”, a title given by the Council of Nine to their leader, and which led to a syncretism in some tales of Morgan with the actual goddess Fortuna. Morgan changed its name in the present because she thought it wasn’t “fit for a Magical Girl” and also in order to make her identity more difficult to discover (not that the great witch Morgan of all people becoming a Magical Girl wouldn’t already confuse the heck out of enemies).
The fact that the name Gambateinn already carried Mystery within itself and its relation to Caster’s gods made possible the activation of the Noble phantasm without demerits, similar to a certain Golden Boy and his Axe.
When activated, this Noble Phantasm becomes a catalyst to the
Ancient Curse of the Island in its world-altering effects, allowing the rewriting of the texture of reality without the interference of the Counter Force and protecting the user from its mind-altering effects. It can be said that the wand “recreates the utopia”, slowly transforming the surrounding environment to fit to its holder’s desires. It is a
conscious manipulation of reality, different from the skill’s effect, where the world alters itself to what it judges best for victory.
This Noble Phantasm can’t act on the concept of “human”, who wandered off from the path of Gaia, so only what is considered part of the “natural world” can be modified: plants, animals, microorganisms, minerals, etc...
The magical energy consumption depends on the scale of modification Caster wants to operate: changing a pebble to a poisonous spike doesn’t cost much but changing a forest to an army of warrior trees takes a lot. Overall, Caster only uses this Noble Phantasm to perform a finisher attack she dubbed
Twin Dragon Vortex – Magical Collapse, an Anti-Fortress strike where Caster summons the avatars of the Dragons of Britain to unleash the pure Black Energy of the Primeval Curse, similar to what Artoria Alter can do with
Excalibur Morgan. It’s her version of the classical purifying attack from every possible Mahou Shoujo anime, she limits its use exactly so that she can keep being in character.
