-Remove the anti-demon trait on the first Noble Phantasm, change the range to 0-6
-The second Noble Phantasm shouldn’t be a Reality Marble, but having it be a High Thaumaturgy akin to Nero’s Aestus Domus Aurea is fine. Remove the line about a confusion status and a curse, but you can elaborate on it impeding movement and potentially drowning enemies so long as they believe the illusion.

-Change Demonic Strength to Oni-kind Demon at rank C (description is 'A Skill that represents the superpower and demonic nature of an oni. It is a composite Skill of the Natural Monster Skill, Monstrous Strength Skill, Charisma Skill, Magical Energy Burst Skill, etc.. In her case, the Magical Energy Burst is that of Flames.')
-Change the first Noble Phantasm to rank D, range 0.
-For the second Noble Phantasm, change the range to 1-2. The last sentence is also confusing wording, so make sure to note that the ‘chance’ to inflict death is there on the last strike regardless of how many of the previous strikes hit, but that it scales ranks with each hit. You can also note that the ‘killing blow’ can be moved to any point in the combo to give it more flexibility, if you want.

No changes required.

-Attendant of the End doesn’t really work, change or remove it.
-Change the comparison to High Speed Divine Words to be closer to High-Speed Incantation, remove the line about requiring more Magic Resistance to overcome.

Archetype: Constructed Being

Name: Valentina

Titles: -

Sex: Resembles Female

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Personality: Almost alien, the way this perfect puppet acts is as if she doesn't understand what it is to be human. Which is the truth. Valentina acts how she decides to, yet it is clear there is never much enthusiasm to any act she attempts to play, always seeming quite robotic and wooden, her words are never given much inflection, except for when she is trying to deceive, only then can there be heard perfect planned inflections. However, Valentina is in truth quite the character. She loves to indulge in human activities that make her feel like less than a tool, theft is something she adores as observing humans fighting humans is something she adores doing. Valentina sees no problem with killing humans, as they are creatures with expiry dates, she is merely helping them along. Dancing along, Valentina's life was born into that of a dancer, something she still indulges in and does frequently, something she does to relax and remind her why she is still alive. She also treats her familliars like her babies, only if one is destroyed by someone purposefully, will true rage come true in her, although her perfect painted face will never show it.

History: Marco Tomassi, the scion of the Tomassi's. Born in 1465, Marco was a magus with not much to his name, living in Sicily he began to become perfect at enchanting and charming, but his family was not impressed, as they were focussing on the growing art of entertainment and his family had passed down the secret of theatre from long since the turn of the milenia. It's said the family sheltered the remains of the original Pygmalion woman, something that they worshipped to bring them strength in their performances and their miniature puppets.

As such Marco began to pursue to improve his family's magecraft from such miniscule little familiars he had a task he wished to fulfill.

Creating the perfect Familiar.

At first, Marco set out to create sentient Marionettes to be used in the sicilian puppet theatre, an ancient sacred form of entertainment that had been passed down throughout history. In doing so, he created Valentina. He infused his new creation with the secrets of the sacred art of theatre and entertainment that his family sought to preserve so well. At first, she was nothing but a bare Marionette, one that had only a few commands and knowledge, that was only how to dance. Marco wanted her to be perfect so without his family's consent, he snuck into the vault and stole away little parts of the ancient Pygmalion Woman the family worshipped and praised so much for bringing them good fortune. He used this resource to form Valentina's core, which gave her her innate power and magic. She was a hit and the family praised him and the public adored Marco, but alas there was more to it.

Marco couldn't stop with just a simple creation. He began to teach her, educate her, improve her, till she had something more akin to a mind of her own, leaving her subservient to him, any of his commands, she was programmed innately to always follow. When his family called for an heir from him, for him to marry, he produced Valentina, now developed with a skin suit so she appeared human. It was obvious that he was no longer interested in marrying, he was only interested in Her. He had become enamoured with this creation that only served him, but in his pursuit of the Perfect Woman, he had created her own mind, which had led her to become dissatisfied with her treatment. She wished to be seen by the public again. If he ever wanted her to do anything, even if she hated it, if he said Please, she would be forced to do so.

One day, Valentina forgot a lot. This was unusual for she knew her memory was near impeccable. She soon realised the skin she was wearing was not her own, this was new. Her joints felt more slick, her body felt more perfect. She knew something was wrong. She found her body by the sea, covered in barnacles and water damaged. She remembered. He had killed her.

She never told her Master that she had discovered this, she played the fool, knowing that is what he wanted. And play the fool she did, until the day when children started to disappear, then reappear in cages in Marco's workshop. She played the fool as her Master was burnt at the stake, for all his commands to her to save him did not work. Not because she was disobeying, but because he forgot to say please.

Valentina was mistaken for his daughter, her new skin suit much more youthful than her own. Yet she had seen how ugly humans were, yet her master had been seeking to turn her into the Perfect Human. These were conundrums she was unprepared for. For years, she sealed herself away in His Workshop, learning from him, bastardising his own practices and sullying his name. Eventually she became set on the goal to free all life from the ugliness of humans. Valentina went to work for many years before realising that she had been sealed away in the workshop, so she improved herself, surpassing her master's work. Eventually she strained herself too much, and went to sleep.

2000, a team of magus were sent out to find an old Successful Magus workshop filled with secrets. They never returned. Valentina arose and continued her mission with her newfound strength, now knowing where to find her strength. For years she toiled before finally she found a way to accomplish her mission.

Quality of Magic Circuits: A

Quantity of Magic Circuits: D

Abnormal Abilities:

Marionette Body: Valentina's current body is that of a wooden marionette, constructed of wood and the spells that enchant her framework allow her to form a realistic skin suit around her frame. Although old, her frame has been wisened and hardened by time and her own enchantments to her body, making her body extremely rigid and strong, aided by the sheer age of the materials used to make her and the sacred arts that flow through her, she can access sheer power with little trouble over the years of mastering reinforcement magic, her hands and feet have been permanently reinforced through her wooden limbs being imbued with the magic rather than it fading away due to extensive use. Her body is also held together by strings that have now become as strong as sheer metal wire, but still as thin as string, because of this she can use her strings as whip-like weapons if she requires any further defence outwith of her enhanced wooden structure.

Valentina can also detach her limbs at will, allowing her to have different pieces of her body in different places at the same time, allowing for superb reconnaissance as well as an easy way out in a sticky situation. Her artificial core is stored within her eye, something her master taught her to cover with an eyepatch, to avoid any notice. This Core is the most important part of her being as this was the secret of her Master, cores that can imbue artificial constructs with the powers of magic circuits, acting as a makeshift crest for her creator. Valentina's body is only rendered destroyed when the Artificial Core is destroyed, or her "Soul" evacuates the body. Such is the nature of her body, it is safe to assume at it's current state it has progressed to a state of A after a millenia of existence and carries along to the next body.

Puppeteer's Strings: Another trick of her body is the ability to use her strings in her body as weapons of her own design, utilising the strings that one bound her as lethal steel like whips and binds. These strings also allow Valentina to channel her mind and communicate with those that have been implanted with string. Lesser Humans that are weak willed can be mind controlled with a string inserted into them.

Familliars: Imbued with lost spirits and wandering souls, Valentina can create and control multiple little patchwork puppets, utilising her False Circuits to create them with vageuly free wills, allowing them to do whatever they want, but ensuring they follow her orders. These Patchwork Dolls are nowhere near as strong as the Marionette, but are soft and silent, acting perfectly as eyes and ears, as well as being able to overwhelm if Valentina controls many in bulk.

Enchantment: A skill that her Master taught her when she was young, utilising magecraft that she had stolen from his rival magus, Valentina mastered the art of enchanting objects with magical attributes, something she mainly practices on her own body, but enchanting a fire spell onto her patchwork dolls allows for explosive results when activated. Her method of enchanting allows her to give objects attributes consisting of elements, for example having enchanted her own body she can give it the attribute of steel, making her limbs temporarily as strong as steel. She can only enchant non-organic objects. This is specialised by her dancing, dancing casts the enchantment which can infuse objects with attributes from legends, bringing the legends back to life through the Sicilian art of theatre, utilising Greek and Paladin related myths to bring such mysteries into her enchantments.

Charm: A trick she learnt from her Master but later developed as her own. A small incantation is all it takes to lather her words in honey, when charming someone all she requires is their ears to hear her voice, if they are not strong willed enough they will be enchanted by her words and become easily suggestible. Originally this method of Charming was a taboo to her Creator who wished for her to only charm by way of putting Charming essence into a drink. She can also plant Sleeper Words into peoples sub-consciousness by charming them and using hypnosis so when they hear a specific word they enact a specific action.

Dancing Nature: Although not abnormal, her nature to dance and entertain has given her body the ability to seemlessly move as if fluid even though it is wood, this also allows her quick movements and in times of battle, to oppose others, her master taught her how to dance that she might avoid danger and inflict attacks from sudden blows based on rhythm and movement. This dancing also makes use of her body as almost a complete shrine, offering her act as that of theatre once more, using the sacred act to infuse her dances with that of charms and enhancements, allowing her to cast such spells without components or incantations. This also allows her to effectively back up her allies by inviting them with her dancing that infuses them with the conceptual support of the legends celebrated in the Sicilian theatre.

Equipment:

Valentina's Insurance: Her Master's Deceit, yet her salvation. Along with Valentina, close by or far away there can be found 3 normal looking Marionettes. The Valentina that was chosen for this war is actually the Second version, but still contains the soul of the first. Valentina's soul contains her will and mind, but cannot contain much magic if at all. To ensure she would always be by his side, Valentina's Master created multiple Marionettes that could carry his Familliar, the original version of her a combination of pure imagination as well as a mixed in wandering soul, this soul would corrupt her into giving her her own desires. Because of the nature of Valentina, when her husk is destroyed, the "soul" or the essence of Valentina escapes in a mist, almost invisible to the naked eye but ethereal at the same time. She will then awaken in a different body, which will then form its own skin suit and enchantments, however each time she flees to a new body, her mind weakens and her enchantments and magic circuits revert back to near useless. She must always be at least 5 miles away from a body when she dies or her soul will float aimlessly until it fades away. Only when the Eye is destroyed, then Valentina is forced to evacuate. The command seals pass on with the soul, as she is making the decision to swap bodies.

Miscellaneous: Valentina cannot feel pain. Valentina also sees Servants as those chained to Humans and as such must be freed.

Archetype: Half-Blood (Stirring Ancestry)

Name: Jackson Andrews

Titles: The American Werewolf, Mosaic Eagle

Sex: Male

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Personality: Cool headed and well-mannered he never denies anyone courtesy even if they are his bitter enemies. He is resolute in his beliefs but is willing to hear what other people have to say and is not above changing his mind when presented with new information. He is confident, polite and flexible.

History:Jackson Andrews is the head of the Andrews estate, an old American family who can track their history to before the Westward Expansion. The Andrews are considered one of the foundational magus families in America and virtually despised by European maguses. This all stems from a blood feud that started during Revolutionary War where The Andrews were one of the few magical families to side with the Americans.

Their magical ancestry can be traced back to the Valais Witch Trials of the 15th century where their ancestors, the Anders, were targeted by the church under suspicion of witchcraft and lycanthropy. The suspicions were of course true as the Andrews have continued the tradition of coupling with phantasmal species well into the modern era.

Jackson himself is a philanthropist, using his family's wealth in-service to those who need it. He grew up sheltered and privileged and feels the need to repent for his easy life. Growing up in modern America granted him a more contemporary education, even attending an American High School for a number of years. His knowledge of science and technology is far beyond that of most other Maguses and is much more willing to adopt and use the conveniences brought about by modernity. Magic-wise it could be said he was 'homeschooled' and encouraged to explore other magical systems. In addition to European magic schools he has studied magics native to America in order to get in touch with his bestial heritage.

Abnormal Abilities

• General Magecraft: Has a good understanding of the basics but is otherwise not formally trained in this particular style of magecraft.
• Elementalism: Fire and Water.
• American Witchcraft: An older form of Magecraft with origins in Europe that became popular in the United States during the 17th C and lead to the the infamous Salem Witch Trials. American Witchcraft was founded by Elizabeth "Goody" Garlick in 1658. It derives a lot from European schools of Witchcraft but with a much greater emphasis on curses, which require the use of a material medium (ex: straw doll, lock of hair, etc.) that impose a magical restriction on an individual. This school is not tied the Wiccan faith, who do not practice magecraft at all.
• Navajo Spiritual Healing: A form of Shamanism that is one of the few forms of Magecraft not brought over to the New World but is instead holy native to the Americas. It was incorporated into the Crest during the rapid expansion into the West. It's main tenant is focused on reestablishing harmony within a body, as an imbalance or 'chaos' can manifest as illness or injury. It uses and requires knowledge in a vast array of plants, herbs, minerals and clays. Internally referred to as Diné Bahane', this school is rarely taught to those outside the Navajo culture so much is not known about its practices. It's primarily used for healing ailments and injury and the removal/redirection of curses. One of the more well-known "spells" of this school is the yee naaldlooshii ("by means of it, it goes on all fours") is not actually a part of the foundation proper but instead practised by an antithetical offshoot who go against the primary teachings. It is a form of "self-curse" that transfigures the user into an animal-like form for use in trickery or combat. English speakers typically refer to practitioners as "skin-walkers".
• Lycanthropy: Typically members of his family would have a designated handler nearby to make sure if they tip over the edge into transformation they can be calmed-down and brought back from Ancestral Return, or if need be put out of their misery. Through use of Navajo Spiritual Healing Jackson has bypassed this limitation. Through great self-control he can induce near Ancestral Return, increasing his physical power, endurance and making his magical attacks more potent. By utilizing a special Mystic Code he can undergo complete Ancestral Return while still retaining a sense of reason and the capability to use magecraft.

Equipment

• Pelt of a Wolf that died during a Solar Eclipse: According to Navajo beliefs a solar eclipse is a time of self-reflection and meditation. Wolves are an omen not for the dangers of nature but the dangers of humanity's own capacity to be monstrous. This Mystic Code is an ancient wolf pelt that was typically worn ceremonially. Jackson does care about these things. He purchased it from a tribe for an exorbitant price because it is an exceptionally rare Mystic Code that allows one to practice Diné Bahane' and transform into a 'mai-coh'. It is appropriate that 'mai-coh' can also mean witch.
• Berchtold: An ancient axe-head marked with runes. Its original name has been lost so it was rechristened with the name of the ghostly spectre that leads the Wild Hunt. Activating the runes envelopes the axe-head in either ice or fire. A somatic command allows for axe-head shaped bolts of either ice or fire to be launched from the Mystic Code. The bolts travel quickly and their trajectory can be controlled after the fact. According to the Andrews the axe-head was forged by dwarves deep in the Earth.
• The Cauldron of Ceridwen: An amplifier Mystic Code, it is an exceptionally old cauldron rumoured to have been used by the enchantress Crediwen with the intention of giving her son omnipotence. It was brought to the New World by a now dead magus family and later confiscated by the Puritans during the Salem Witch Trials. Recovered by Jackson himself, the cauldron allows for longe-range remote scrying and bolsters the range and potency of Witchcraft and potion brewing.
• SIG516: A semi-automatic multi-caliber rifle that Jackson typically uses to hunt feral pigs.

Miscellaneous:Jackson is an outdoorsman and is comfortable using firearms. If need be he will resort to more modern solutions when dealing with foes.

Class: Rider
True Name: Koschei
Titles: The Deathless, The Immortal
Sex: Male
Attribute: (Leave blank for now)

Personality: Cold, impersonal he can be a hard man to ally oneself with. He will always put forward his own safety above that of any of his compatriots. At the same time he likes to plan ahead and won't be afraid to make use of a little mayhem or death to further his goals. Morality and subtlety cannot overshadow his greed and pride.

History: A great demon of Russian Folklore. Unkillable and a diseased monster of a mage who spread havoc until he was sealed away. Ivan Tsarevitch mistakenly freed him and he stole his beloved, Marya, and had to go through a great number of trials and troubles to finally defeat the Giant. Fast as the wind, and impossibly clever, Ivan had to rely on a great many allies and trickeries to finally overcome Koschei the Deathless.

Parameters:
Strength: C
Endurance: D
Agility: B
Mana: A
Luck: C

Class Skills:

Riding: A
Rider is Capable of handling modern vehicles with unrealistic skill, and a qualifying rank for the 'Rider' Class. At this rank Phantasmal Beasts and magical mounts are not outside the realm of comprehension. Koschei is able to ride the very wind made flesh at this rank.

Magic Resistance: A
A rank that cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a "Magus Killer".

Personal Skills:

Slavic Magecraft: B
The ability to perform Slavic Magecraft, Rider's namesake as a Sorcerer. Even though his ability has diminished slightly through his designated class he still shows great skill above any who exist in the current era. Of particular note, he can control the cardinal elements with a single verse, influence and curse others with his magical energy, and bend the very weather with his will. COmplex and 'complex' magecraft isn't something he makes particular use of and instead relies on his strengths pertaining to his Slavic origins.

Shapeshift: A
The ability to change one's form and at this rank, it's not limited by his physical body. Flesh can turn to wind itself or become a raging fire to consume his enemies. Since he lacks a soul dwelling in his body there is no "corrective" force on his Body. As such, unlike other individuals, he can dwell in his forms indefinitely if he so chooses and has no ideal form which he must return to. Rider can become anyone or anything imaginable so long as it has roughly the same mass and weight.

Frozen Death: A
The skill embodying the worship of Koschei as a force of nature and the manifestation as a "God of Death". It bestows the designation of "Force of Nature" on Rider and allows him to affect the world as easily as breathing. Unlike humans who have to "act" to bring about a result Rider merely achieves the result of "Cold" simply by existing. Heat naturally ceases to radiate, living things gradually freeze, and the surrounding structures will never fail to crumble around him. A curse that warps the world around the "Sorcerer" known as Koschei.

While he can't turn off the ability, he can alleviate its effect by making use of his shapeshifting ability. Dispersing his body over a large area will lessen the bitter cold. While walking around in his physical body everything around him will take constant damage. The oppressive cold will freeze master's solid in five rounds as long as they are within ten meters, but will incapacitate them in three rounds. Servants will take more or less damage based on their Endurance rank but will be able to survive around Koschei much longer than normal humans and animals. Magic and Cold resistance will lessen the damage as well.

Noble Phantasms

Okrovavlennyy Tuman: The Steed Which Carries A Red Wind - B
Noble Phantasm Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1~65

A wind elemental bound in the shape of a horse that Koschei had possessed in life. It's a nature-spirit that obeys its rider and only takes a convenient form so that he may ride it as a mount. At a whim, it can break its body apart to become winds and storms again and cover the entire battlefield in a Tornado, a Hurricane, or a batch of lighting with a destructive force on par with the highest caliber High-Thaumaturgy. Able to decimate a complete city block in an instant with its might it is a literal force of nature.

Koschei's can make use of his Shapeshift skill in order to turn into the wind along with his mount. This can make them seem like an illusion, impossible to trap or capture with conventional means. Any barrier will flow around and any cage escaped in a single breath. In fact, it can be even hard to hit them with any direct attacks as you'd have to burn or destroy all the air they'd flee into. Great anti-Army attacks able to fill a large space with lethal energy cannot be evaded and will burn the mount away. Even if Koschei cannot die so easily from direct damage, this mount doesn't have such a luxury and cannot be reformed if destroyed.

Koshchey: So Declared The World That He Shall Be Deathless - A
Type: Anti-Death, Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1

Koschei is famous for his deed of hiding his soul away outside of his body, in an innocuous object far removed from danger so that he would never experience death. In the Holy Grail War this can be any object deemed no larger than a few inches across upon calling out this Noble Phantasm's true name. Upon doing so Rider's spiritual core is stowed away inside of the object to no detriment to his Body and Mind's performance. This is because his body is held together by this Noble Phantasm and the anchor of his master.

In exchange, he can no longer return to spirit form as his "Soul" is no longer part of his body so he no longer technically a Spiritual entity. Instead, he is simply a puppet body manufactured by the Soul, given shape and repaired with his Master's magical energy. Each injury restored or time his body reformed costs an amount of mana, and if there isn't enough magical energy to sustain his Noble Phantasm, then Rider will perish. If this object that houses his Spiritual Core is destroyed he'll also die immediately.

Since his spiritual core is no longer in his body, lethal blows have ceased to have meaning. They can be regenerated merely by channeling Od into the organ or damaged part of his body, the Noble Phantasm transferring the Magical Energy to restoring the Bag that once contained his soul. Simple wounds such as broken limbs and ruptured organs can be cured almost indefinitely as it only takes a little bit of energy to reform the 'bag'. Rider can revive from firmly lethal blows a number of times equal to his Mana score (Five), with additional times being dependant on his Master's amount of upkeep and preparedness. Generally, he can naturally restore magical energy through his Magecraft at a rough rate of 2 lives per day, but this can be greatly increased through assistance from his Master.

NOTE: I will allow the GM to determine how many times he can be restored based on his own Magical Energy combined with his Master's reserves.

Class: Rider
True Name: Diomedes
Title: Spear-Famed, Son of Tydeus
Sex: Male
Attribute:

Personality: Diomedes is known for being an honourable and wise king in spite of the young age at which he took the throne of Argos. Though managing to accomplish many great deeds in his lifetime he is humble and modest and holds great respect for the Gods and the guiding hand of fate. He is stern in how he deals with others and doesn’t mince words whether it is with his enemies or his allies; he is not shy of calling others out on their cowardice or their foolishness when he sees it.

In battle he is fearless no matter the opponent, but more importantly he is fierce and merciless in how he deals with his enemies. The Trojan’s feared him even more than they did Achilles during the war and Diomedes is not the type of person to leave an enemy alive, no matter their situation or who they might be.

Diomedes always keeps to any oaths that he swears and shows great loyalty to those on his side, even putting the needs of the many over his personal feelings. He spared Odysseus after the man tried to kill him and take the Palladium for himself and he chose not to fight Achilles after the man killed Diomedes cousin, in both cases decided that they were too vital to the Achaeans cause to lose.

History: Diomedes was born from the joining of two royal families, with his father Tydeus being the only son of the King of Calydon, while his mother was the granddaughter of the King of Argos; the latter of which he was later succeed. His father died while he was still very young, having taken part in an unsuccessful attempt to conquer Thebes along with six other champions who were collectively known as the Seven Against Thebes; it was a campaign that he would later finish himself after swearing a vow with the children of the other champion’s children to avenge their fathers. Known as the “Epigoni”, meaning “offspring”, Diomedes and the other sons of the champions set out on a campaign ten years after the Seven Against Thebes failed attempt and were ultimately successful in the endeavour that their fathers had failed, conquering Thebes and installing the son of the instigator of the first Theban expedition as the city’s new ruler.

Upon returning home Diomedes found that his grandfather had died of grief upon learning that his son Aegialeus, one of the Epigoni, had perished in the battle; as such, Diomedes was left as the last of the king’s male descendants due to his mother being the king’s daughter. That being so, Diomedes ascended to the throne of Argos, marrying the king’s daughter, Princess Aegialia, in order to secure his grasp on power.

Prior to the Trojan War, Diomedes was one of the suitors of Helen and, as such, he was bound by the oath of Tyndareus, Helen’s father, which established that all the suitors would defend and protect the man who was chosen as Helen's husband against any who would attempt to harm him. Accordingly, when the Trojan prince Paris stole Menelaus' wife, all those who had sworn the oath joined him in trying to retrieve her.

With his fleet of 80 ships, the third largest fleet in the war after Agamemnon’s and Nestor’s, Diomedes entered the Trojan War, taking part in many battles and often being a key figure on the side of the Achaeans. As a king with much military experience his opinions carried weight in the war council meeting, despite being one of the youngest kings present, and he and Odysseus were the ones responsible for achieving many of the prophesies that led to Troy’s fall.

Despite angering Athena by being complicit in the desecration of her temple and for stealing the Palladium from Troy, Diomedes survived the Trojan War and managed to return home whereas many other Achaean leaders, such as Odysseus, were met with obstacles and distractions as punishment from the Gods; both he and Nestor left Troy as soon as possible, before Athena asked for the other Achaen kings to be waylaid by storms. However, he did not escape the war completely unscathed, as upon returning home he found that while he was away at war his wife had taken on a lover and he was prevented from entering the city he had once ruled; this was punishment from Aphrodite who had not forgiven him for wounding her during the war. Over time he was able to make amends to both Goddesses by returning the Palladium to his old enemy Aeneas and the remaining Trojans and by naming a city after Aphrodite and building many temples in her honour.

Riding A: All vehicles and all creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts.

Magic Resistance C: Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.

Personal Skills:
Affection of the Goddess A: Acting as Athena’s chosen champion for much of the siege of Troy, the Goddess of Wisdom gave Diomedes significant aid during the war, even driving his chariot for him in a charge against her brother Ares as she declaring that he should “not fear this immortal or any other god for I will protect you”. As one who was able to count on the Goddess’s blessing even when he did not request it, this skill grants Diomedes occasional protection from his enemy’s attacks and allows him to occasionally land attacks that should otherwise have missed, as if Athena herself was deflecting blows away from him or guiding his weapons to strike true by taking hold of it herself. Whether or not this skill activates is dependent on Diomedes own luck and the luck of his opponent.

Mana Burst (Flame) B: Another of the boons granted to Diomedes by Athena. Diomedes is able to infuse his shield and helmet with magical energy in order to boost their performance, wreathing them in flames that can be used to be used to attack or defend.

Throwing (Spear) B: In Diomedes’ hands any spear can be used as a deadly projectile as well as a close ranged weapon. Many of Troy’s finest warriors died at the end of a spear throw from Diomedes hands, such as the hero Pandarus, and even Hector himself would have died had he not been wearing the helmet given to him by Apollo as even a glancing blow was enough to stun Troy’s mightiest.

Eye of the Mind (True) B: By the time of the Trojan War, despite his young age, Diomedes could already claim to be one of the most experienced warriors among the Achaeans. The son of a mortal man and woman, lacking in the divine heritage of some of the more well-known peers, Diomedes skill at arms and combat was entire due to his own training, discipline and experience. Through countless battles he has managed to develop and hone a heightened capacity for observation, a danger-avoidance ability that utilizes the intelligence collected up to the current time as the basis in order to predict the opponent’s activity and change the current situation. This is not a result of talent, but an overwhelming amount of combat experience. A weapon wielded by none other than a mortal, gained through tenacious training.

Noble Phantasms:
Title: Árma Me Odigó Theótitas – Chariot Guided by the Goddess of Wisdom
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Army
Range: 2-50
Maximum Number of Targets: 50
Description: Among all of the Achaean’s fighting at Troy none could claim to have horses or a chariot as fine as those belonging to the hero Achilles; however of them all only Diomedes own chariot comes close to matching it in terms of speed or power. Pulled by a pair of horses descended from Zeus’ own immortal stock which were taken as spoils from the Trojan hero Aeneas and possessing the same powers of traversing the skies, Diomedes can rightly claim to have the second best chariot in Greece. While the horses summoned by this Noble Phantasm are not as strong as they were in life, they are still as strong as a Monstrous Beast.

With an invisible driver at the reigns, another embodiment of Athen’s affection for Diomedes given form, similar to his Affection of the Goddess skill, this Noble Phantasm requires no driver in order to operate at full power. This allows Diomedes to focus all of his efforts on fighting as the chariot moves according to his wishes in mowing down his enemies, regardless of if he is standing a top it or not. While riding this chariot Diomedes experiences a more consistent, if less powerful, version of his Affection of the Goddess skill as attacks aimed towards him are deflected and his own attacks receive increased accuracy, as if the Goddess herself was at the reigns beside him.

Description: Originally just an ordinary spear, after being granted the ability to identify Gods on the battlefield by Athena Diomedes used this weapon to wound two Olympic Deities in a single day, thereby elevating this simple weapon to a legendary status in people’s minds, becoming a weapon that held the concept of being able to “wound even the Gods themselves”. When struck by this weapon Aphrodite fled the battlefield and even Ares, God of War, cried out with the agony of ten thousand men. Though not wounded, when Diomedes charged him with this weapon Apollo felt a moment of fear before convincing the man to back away from challenging another God.

A conceptual weapon Noble Phantasm that holds the status of being anathema to those that are divine in nature, when holding this weapon Diomedes is able to discern whether or not someone possesses divine attributes at a glance. While nothing more than a well-made spear when fighting a non-Divine being, if any Servant has something which can be counted as a divine being this Noble Phantasm will deal additional damage to any target which possesses the Divinity Skill; the more Divinity the target has the greater its additional damage output. Furthermore, any being which possesses "divine protection" in any form materialized while find that protection useless against this spear.

General Magecraft:Kitorai has a theorical knowledge of a great number of subjects related to magecraft, including but not limited to: Creation, Mineralogy, General Fundamentals and Astrology.
As an effect of this Kitorai knows how to create and disassemble bounded fields, make familiars, hypnotize regular people if the situation requires it, curse people in very minor ways and write Geis

Reinforcement: While reinforcement is an elementary spell that every magus know the basics off, the Valueleta managed to put their own spin on it: thanks to their dual elemental affinity of water and earth they can embed and manipulate the flow of their magical energy extremely well when they use it on an object. Each member of the family utilize this effect how they see fit. In Kitorai case, he’s proficient in reinforcing select parts of an object, like just the tip of a lance, for example, so his mana expenditure is practically nil when using this spell.

Affluent Association: In his long tenure as the Head of his house Kitorai amassed a fair share of allies that owed him favours, and while he spended a few of them in order to create his Magnus Opus, that still leave him with a dozens or so of very powerful people, both in the magical and ordinary world, able to move a few strings if he need it.
Kitorai, of course, have the unconditional support of his own family, as his son is the current head, and, as one of the greatest noble families both in and out the magical world, there are very little hurdles his name alone can’t pass, but aside from that he has strong ties with the Mineralogy and Creation department, as he has a powerful friend in one and was head for 30 years of the other one.

Equipment: Mystic Code: Gemma Armis

A customized, full set of armor originally made from an alloy of titanium and steel that he commissioned from one his contacts, Kitorai further improved it by melting and fusing various precious metal in specifics parts of the armor for their interactions with magical energy. These modifications include:
*Intricate veins grafted on the inside part of the cuirass made of an alloy of copper and silver, for their conductive properties, permitting the magical energy to circulate with extreme efficiency to all the other parts.
*The cuirass itself is made of tungsten, representing extraordinary endurance and resistance. Inside the chest cavity there is a space where Kitorai fitted a mana reactor, in the low chance that he’s left without mana of his own, via overuse of the armor or other circumstances.
*Sabatons whose sole are aligned with an special iron bought from a magi family specialized in astrology. When activated with the phrase “Sicut supra, ita infra”, the user becomes very difficult to move from where he is standing, as moving him would be as paramount as moving a part of the sky. As above so below, as iron is both the heart of the earth and part of universe and sky itself.
*Gauntlets fused with Gold, metal symbolizing power, wealth and prosperity. But, metaphors aside, they are made so Kitorai can punch people very hard.
While any of these individuals effect would surely be its own effective mystic code, Kitorai made it so they would work in perfect harmony when worn together, truly, this work of art , if made public, would be talked for generations to come. But before that, he has to made sure it up to the task, and what better place to prove it that a Holy Grail War...

Miscellaneous:
Charisma: Kitorai played the politics game for a long time. He knows how to lie convincingly and how to spot said lies, has a silver tongue when the situation demands it and it’s not afraid to play the senile old man when needed.

Blank Credit Card: A credit card with practically unlimited funds in it.

Brawling: The only “fighting style” Kitorai knows and learned on his travels while he was of middle age, his action plan is to just go in and punch the opposition without restrain.

3 spare mana reactors (small size): Kitorai liked to be prepared for any situation.

Photo of his Granddaughter: A photo he has so he can presume his granddaughter to everyone he meets. Partly because he IS proud of her, and partly to play the character his age represents.
