Zabaniya

is the name of the Noble Phantasms of all the nineteen people who have taken the title of Hassan-i-Sabbah. Each one of the nineteen had to earn their title by proving their piety through obtaining a divine miracle bearing the name of that met the criteria of that which could swiftly and reliably bring death to its target. All of them, with the exception of Hassan of the Hundred Faces who had a qualifying in-born ability, modified their bodies to achieve their own miracles, earning them their titles. They are currently keeping their abilities as concealed ultimate techniques, all with the same name for the purpose of taking down the other eighteen Hassans so that they can vie for the position of Leader of the Assassins.
The techniques have not been passed down in history like regular Noble Phantasms, but instead because the Assassins themselves are a famous anecdote. Due to being the abilities that have established them as Assassins by virtue of being placed as the Old Man of the Mountain, the superhuman abilities they had in life are sublimated as their Noble Phantasms.Fate/Zero - Einzbern Consultation Room 4 The No Name Assassin, a failed candidate for the position, is noted to have copied eighteen of the techniques, accumulated into Phantasmal Pedigree. Each which would take a lifetime to master for a regular person, but she extensively modified her body in only a matter of years. She only lacks Delusional Illusion, the Zabaniya of the her compatriot also vying for the title in the same generation she lived in. Although possessing the talent, strength, and fortitude to master the previous eighteen miracles in a matter of years, she was unable to innovate her own original miracle, so she was rejected as the next grandmaster for that reason and her people feared her ability in so quickly mastering the other miracles.
==Primary nineteen==
===Cyber Phantasy===
 is the Zabaniya of the Hassan summoned during the Third Fuyuki Holy Grail War. No Name Assassin also possesses this ability through Phantasmal Pedigree.Fate/strange Fake Volume 2 - Chapter 3: Day 1, Early Dawn "Ensemble Versus Illusion" 
Upon contact between an enemy's head and one of Hassan's hands, it turns the target's brain into gunpowder, causing it to explode and destroy the upper half of their body. He utilizes poisonous needles and his small stature to catch his opponents off-guard to touch his left hand on their foreheads.Fate/hollow ataraxia - Heaven's Feel - 3/ Dialogue Mobiuslink 
===Dead Heartbeat Melody===
 is the Noble Phantasm possessed by the Assassin Class Card of the Fifth Ainsworth Holy Grail War. It is Installed and utilized by Shinji Matou. It allows, through a yet unknown method, for the user to pierce a peculiarly shaped hole in their target by holding their mutated hand up to their chest,Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 34.2: "The Only Thing Remaining, a Counterfeit (2)" destroying their heart.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 49.1: "Form Change"Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei - Chapter 49.2: If It Was Illya
===Delusional Heartbeat===
 is the Zabaniya of the Hassan of the Cursed Arm. No Name Assassin also possesses this ability through Phantasmal Pedigree.Fate/strange Fake Volume 1 - Prologue III: "Assassin" It is the right arm of the evil spirt , the cursing hand of the Middle Eastern Magecraft specialized in Curses that curses humans to death. It takes the place of his right arm, which he normally keeps wrapped in cloth, making it seem like a useless appendage without a hand. After removing the cloth, he reveals that the "clubbed stump" of the arm is actually the elbow, and the arm itself is folded back and sewn to his shoulder. Once unleashed, it rips away from his flesh and flaps like a "one-winged spear." The arm's ability is one of the purest magics and simplest curses but of an extremely high level. It creates a mirror image of the heart of the assassination target with an Ether Clump, a dual existence that resonates with the original one. By crushing the fake heart, he can crush the real one with this curse without laying a finger on it. It is also possible to switch the two existences by touching the target's chest, allowing Hassan to devour the heart and gain the opponent's intelligence. It may not mean instant death to some opponents, allowing for the chance of a final counterattack before death.

The ability completely neutralizes all physical barriers and armors by only interacting with the fake heart, meaning that all physical defense and distance is rendered meaningless. It would simply bypass an armor with a defensive rating of one thousand and directly deal damage. The way to resist the Curse does not fall under Endurance, but rather, the target must simply stay out of Hassan's range, have a high enough Mana statistic to prevent the overlaying existence from even being created, or have a high enough Luck to avoid it without any problem. It can be considered a convoluted and indirect way of killing a target, only fitting for an assassination, that is more akin to a trick used by a magician. The ability, bearing the name of the , "Zabaniya", is only able to target and punish humans by cursing them to death. It is unable to curse its own kind, rendering it ineffective against Evil Spirits or those affected by their curses. When used against Kirei Kotomine, whose heart is under the curse of Angra Mainyu, Hassan simply feels no solid response from the Ether Clump, as if the heart is.

Dracae.png|Shaytan
Unlike other Hassans, the Cursed Arm Hassan himself possesses no special talent, so he obtains this ability by sacrificing his right arm to a demon god, sealing said demon in his arm in the process. As a last resort, Cursed Arm can forcibly remove his right arm and summon the demon Shaytan from it. This results in a soul-devouring, nigh-unstoppable demon that kills and devours everything around it... but Cursed Arm has no control over it and it's highly likely to eat him once it's killed everything else in the vicinity. Only King Hassan's intervention saves him after it finishes devouring Tristan and starts moving towards him next.Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm, Section 17: Replica
===Delusional Illusion===
 is the Zabaniya used by Hassan of the Hundred Faces. It is an Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm that targets Assassin himself rather than an opponent. Hassan of the Hundred Faces is a single entity, but he possesses a compartmentalized soul and multiple personalities that allow him to divide his spiritual potential to materialize up to eighty different Servants. Though limited by his physical body during life, his thousand souls are now free of such limitations as a spiritual entity, and as each segment can materialize as an individual, they can all be materialized simultaneously in different shapes.
Each one is its own separate entity, and the only shared characteristics are their skull masks, black cloaks and race. Their body sizes can be giant, slim, short as children, and some can even be women. They each have their own will, personality, strengths, and weaknesses, and although they are against unnecessary sacrifice, losing one without a specific strength does not directly affect the whole of the others more than losing a finger, but that individual along with their characteristics and abilities will vanish and not be restored to Assassin as a whole.Fate/Grand Order material III - The Hundred-Faced Hassan, p.336-341 There are personalities that are unfit to be assassins, who are impatient glory-hounds who ignore orders like fools, and individuals who are terrible at ambushes despite being assassins. It is possible to produce egos that are not aware of themselves, such as the Child Assassin, that are not counted among the eighty divided Servants. All existences of Hassan of the Hundred Faces are equal, none of them created or designated as a superior or subordinate of one another nor is any a "real form" or a "offshoot" of the whole. Despite any drawbacks, if one can comprehend their characteristics and apply their skills in the right situations, Hassan of the Hundred Faces can be a very dangerous Servant.
This ability allows for Kirei Kotomine and Tokiomi Tohsaka to make the other Masters in the war believe that Hassan was decisively killed by sacrificing one of the bodies. They can be split up for reconnaissance, but they have to directly speak to each other to communicate information and decide on orders as they are not connected by telepathy or other similar connections. If the Master has the ability to see through his or her Servant's eyes, he is limited to a single Hassan at any one time. If they are separated on numerous different assignments, it can take up to ten minutes to summon them all together in one spot. Due to the potential of the spirit being that of only one person, the abilities of the Hassans produced by the division is extremely low, reaching the lowest point of the capabilities of Servants. As his statistics are divided among the bodies, it means that they are unable to match any Heroic Spirits in direct combat, nor does it allow him to equal a small army. Though not suitable for combat, their abilities are unparalleled in terms of spying and gathering recon as their Presence Concealment Skill, the inherent Skill of the Assassin class, will not decline in effectiveness. By making maximum use of this, they can transform into an excellent and extraordinary intelligence system. Their high numbers do allow for a final resort strategy to kill an opponent's Master or Servant by sacrificing the greater whole in order to overwhelm the opponent with pure numbers.
During life, the Hundred-Faced Hassan was the only Hassan without the need to modify his body in any way. Though his strength was typical, he had a special ability, taking advantage of his affliction of , allowing him to change his body freely with his mind to disguise himself as a man, woman, child, or an elder to act as an assassin without a true identity. He was able to change his personality solely based on the situation, allowing him to confuse opponents, weave webs of defense, and kill them with unexpected and unpredictable methods all while hiding his true identity completely. He had a repertoire of abilities allowing him to act as a master assassin capable of doing anything by switching abilities depending on the requirements of his assignments. He had impressive skills in planning and tactics, knowledge of all languages of other countries, the ability to identify poisons and set traps, and on occasions displayed the capability to utilize strange strength and agility to use illusionary, and long forgotten fighting styles. Other skills employed by the Hassan include impersonating Toyotomi Hideyoshi and .
In the world of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, there are two variations of this Noble Phantasm.
===Delusional Poison Body===
 is the Zabaniya possessed by the Hassan of Serenity, in an attempt by the to replicate the s (Poison Girls) of India. It turns every part of her body, including all her bodily fluids, her nails and skin, and even her breath, into deadly poison.
It is the Hassan of Serenity's state of being of killing everyone who comes into contact with her by poison, transformed into a Noble Phantasm. It results in death to living things that touches her skin and bodily fluids. It is also possible for armaments that are not Noble Phantasms to corrode instantly when coming into contact with her poison. Because she is not able to “adjust” the amount of her poison given towards living beings, opponents who touched her will be killed without fail. However, she is able to voluntarily determine whether the armaments she touches would be corroded or not.Fate/Grand Order material IV - Hassan of the Serenity, p.130-137, translated by Clyton at Beast's Lair.
Towards Servants, the Hassan of Serenity is not able to “kill them by simply touching them”, but it is more than possible to cause them pain that slightly weakens their movements. It is also possible to give them damage and a bad status effect if they happen to come into contact with her mucous membrane, such as through oral means, etc. It is generally death for any being that comes into contact with her mucous membrane for a total of “three times” (in Fate/Grand Order, she attempts to touch her target three consecutive times with a single kiss).
The Hassan of Serenity also possesses a trump card that can be used only once————she scatters her body in all directions at point-blank range, throwing towards her enemy a massive quantity of her poisonous blood.
It is said that the Hassan of Serenity possessed the power to spread this deadly poison onto the wind, wiping out entire armies if necessary, but also lacking in the capacity to discern friend from foe, making it equally devastating to her allies. No Name Assassin also possesses this ability through Phantasmal Pedigree.Fate/strange Fake Volume 2 - Chapter 5: Day 1, Dawn "The Shadow in the Dark"
===Febrile Inspiration===
 is the Zabaniya of one of the first eighteen Hassan-i-Sabbah. No Name Assassin also possesses this ability through Phantasmal Pedigree. Unlike the other forms of Zabaniya, this technique is defensive in nature as it makes the users' skin as hard as Demon Realm Crystal.
===Ichor of Reverie===
 is the Zabaniya of one of the first eighteen Hassan-i-Sabbah. No Name Assassin also possesses this ability through Phantasmal Pedigree. It allows for the use of an extremely high-pitch "song" that disorients the targets' brains and scrambles their Magic Circuits. It can instantly kill nine magi actively preparing spells by forcing them to incinerate themselves. It can also be focused on a single target, forcing even a Servant onto their knees with this disorientation ability. Most humans cannot actually hear the pitch of the song, but it has an affect on their bodies regardless if they possess Magic Circuits.
===Heretical Reminiscence===
 is the Zabaniya of the Hassan of Intoxicated Smoke. It allows the user to erase the borders of themselves and everything, fooling the World and turning their body into smoke, becoming intangible and immune to harm. When used by Intoxicated Smoke, it can apparently last up to a week.Fate/strange Fake Volume 8 - Chapter 26: "The Age of Gods and the Modern Age <Maturation>"
The No Name Assassin duplicates this ability through the use of Phantasmal Pedigree, but can barely use it for a couple of seconds.
===Meditative Sensitivity===
 is the Zabaniya of Hassan of the Fathomless Rift, a Hassan outside the numerical listing of the normal nineteen Hassan-i-Sabbah. It is an ability in which he connects to the shadow of the world to transform himself into the concept of death and merges with his target to drag them into the netherworld. The condition to activate this ability is when it's guaranteed that his Saint Graph as a Heroic Spirit won't survive or the situation where his Saint Graph won't survive because his Master died. Due to the uncertainty of his existence among the Hassans, Meditative Sensitivity is a hidden Noble Phantasm with no accurate details about it left to the future generations. What is known is that it was an ability to connect with the shadow of the world to understand all that was happening in the land." Upon the pulverization of True Assassin's Spirit Core, Meditative Sensitivity was automatically activated and generated a tremendous amount of shadows like a black explosion. It began to swallow the light once more, an inhuman technique that suppressed even a god's words of law. 
Meditative Sensitivity was partially replicated by No Name Assassin through her Phantasmal Pedigree ability. Due to the vagueness of its existence, No Name not even fully knowing which Hassan used it or if such a technique really even existed, she was not able to faithfully reproduce its ability. Her interpretation allows for the honing of senses to extreme levels. 
===Raving Shadow Flash===
 is the Zabaniya of one of the first eighteen Hassan-i-Sabbah. It is replicated by No Name Assassin through Phantasmal Pedigree. It allows for the manipulation of one's hair to be used as a cutting tool. The Hassan who created the technique displayed enough prowess to make their strands as thin as spider silk and decapitate the target from many kilometers away without detection. The hair can also be manipulated like extra limbs, allowing for the user to grab onto their targets.
===Thoughtless Framework===
 is the Zabaniya belonging to Hassan of the Shining Star and one of the ones replicated by No Name Assassin through Phantasmal Pedigree, though how it differs from his is unknown.
A superb technique that enables ultra-high speed movement and combat maneuvers. By activating the magic circuits in the entire body, agility and mobility are significantly increased. It is a technique that exerts a special magical effect and is similar in nature to a kind of sorcery. As a Servant, it is expressed as a constant increase in agility parameters.
When releasing its true name, the user is clothed in the radiance of a magic circuit that has been hyper-activated to its limit and gone into overdrive, and reaches the extreme limit of ultra-high speed, leaving a trail of light behind them as they strike the target with a series of harsh attacks.
While its True Name release is extremely powerful, it carries enormous risks. In addition to taking damage upon release, the user will disappear like a shining star and die if it is used for longer than the time limit (10 seconds).
===Unfeeling Patrolling Spirits===
 is the Zabaniya of one of the first eighteen Hassan-i-Sabbah. No Name Assassin also possesses this ability through Phantasmal Pedigree.Fate/strange Fake Volume 5 - Interlude: "Mercenary, Assassin, Vampire I" It allows for the summoning of creatures of dense mist called Jinnīya, which transform into numerous shapes such as massive beasts, great serpents, beautiful women, and giants to attack the enemy.
==Other Zabaniya and variations==
===Delusional Illusion (Include)===
 is the ability of the Assassin Class Card when using the Include function. The item used to include will become a decoy in the exact image of the user. In the case of Magical Ruby, it can continue to act in the user's place. The user is concealed at the same time, and they will be revealed after the decoy is destroyed.
===Delusional Illusion (Install)===
 is the ability of the Assassin Class Card when using the Install function. The ability is ranked down to Rank C+, so the maximum number of bodies that can be created is limited. Illyasviel von Einzbern is able to create another version of herself to take a fatal attack in her place.
===Phantasmal Pedigree===
 is the Zabaniya possessed by No Name Assassin. It is a combination of all eighteen Zabaniya techniques from before her generation, only missing Delusional Illusion. Some of the techniques are either stronger or weaker than the originals.
*Cyber Phantasy: She is able to make her shoulders warp to move her left arm at an abnormal angle behind her body to touch the opponent's head and activate the technique.
*Delusional Heartbeat: Differing in that she has not replaced one of her own arms, she has a red third arm emerge from her back that performs the ability in the same manner as the original. She lacks the experience of the original, so her directionality is easier to read. Her encounter with Saber might have changed with the experience of the original. Twitter 6:50 PM JST · Dec 31, 2018 & Twitter 8:27 PM JST · Dec 31, 2018
*Delusional Poison Body: No Name Assassin's variaton has less potent poison as to keep her from harming her allies and innocent people.
*Febrile Inspiration
*Ichor of Reverie: Ontop of the original effects, No Name Assassin can focus the song onto a single target to force a normal Servant to their knees or to control the brain of a normal human.
*Meditative Sensitivity: Due to the fact that she could not confirm its usage, she recreated the technique based on stories only, so she does not know if the technique is correct or even if one of the past leaders really used it in life.
*Raving Shadow Flash: While No Name Assassin is able to extend and control the hair on her head, she was unable to manipulate its thinness or sharpness to the level of the original.
*Unfeeling Patrolling Spirits
