Gavilain [Noble Phantasm]
Shining Sword of Salvation
The radiant sword of light possessed by Emiya Shirou. A holy sword forged from the human prayer “salvation,” crystallized within the Earth. It’s a Last Phantasm on the same level as Excalibur that sees excellent performance as both a sword and a Noble Phantasm. Originally held by the fairies, it passed into Shirou’s hands from the Lady of the Lake as a sign of their contract.
Like Excalibur, Gavilain converts the user’s Prana into light, and as it is swung, the light is released from the edge of the blade and annihilates everything in its path. In form, Gavilain resembles Excalibur, but in action, it more closely resembles Noble Phantasms like Excalibur Galatine and Caladbolg. Like a precision scalpel, Gavilain does not burn, but simply sears away everything it touches.
Though it is of the same scale as Excalibur, however, Gavilain’s strength lies not in its attack power, but in its speed and ease of use. Requiring a small charge time and less than a third the amount of energy of its sister, its most deadly attribute is the fact that a modern magus is capable of utilizing its full power.
With such an incredible advantage, it’s easy to see why Francis Drake’s fleet was wiped out so effortlessly.
