Skill

Servants under the Holy Grail War system are attributed with various Skills that reflect the abilities they had in life, or sometimes those granted by the specific class container in which the Heroic Spirit was placed in.

This page lists skills of fanon Servants only. For the list of canon skills, refer to this page.

## Class Skills

### God's Resolution

**God's Resolution** (神明議決, *Shinmei Giketsu*?, localized as "Divine Judgement") is a Class Skill of Rulers and it is a testament to a Ruler's privilege of presiding over the Holy Grail War: the right to use Command Spells against Servants. Each Ruler is normally granted two Command Spells for each Servant that participates in the Holy Grail War.

### Independent Action

**Independent Action** (単独行動, *Tandoku Kōdō*?, localized as "Independence") is the ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from one's Master; the ability that allows for action even in the absence of the Master. It is typically found as a Class Skill of Archer-class Servants.

At higher ranks, it is also possible to remain for extended periods of time in this world without an established contract. It is both useful and troublesome depending on the disposition of the Servant and the rank of Independent Action. Acting in autonomy from the Master's Magical Energy supply, the Master can concentrate their own Magical Energy on large spells, or the Servant will be fine even in the case they cannot supply Magical Energy due to injury. The downside is that they can be harder to control and keep by their side, making the only true way to command them is by utilizing Command Spells.

### Item Construction

**Item Construction** (道具作成, *Dōgu Sakusei*?) is a Class Skill of Casters. It is the Skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Also, this Skill requires time to gather components and manufacture items.

 A
 C
 Due to being summoned as an Assassin, her Item Construction Skill is comparatively weakened. Should she have manifested as a Caster, the Skill would have manifested at *Rank A*.

### Item Construction (False)

**Item Construction (False)** (道具作成（偽）, *Dōgu Sakusei (Nise)*?) is a Skill that acts as an equivalent of Item Construction due to the user's lack of magus aptitude.

 Since he is not a magus, Gilgamesh originally would not possess the Item Construction Skill, but he has an ability equivalent to it due to the existence of the Gate of Babylon. All tools that can be created (that can be retrieved from the Noble Phantasm) are “*items inside the Babylonian treasure vault*”.

### Mad Enhancement

**Mad Enhancement** (狂化, *Kyōka*?, localized as "Blind Rage") is the Class Skill that characterizes a Berserker, raising basic parameters and strengthens one's physical abilities in exchange of hindering mental capacities and/or in exchange for their sense of reason. In some cases, it also affects and/or seals away some techniques, Personal Skills and Noble Phantasms.

 B
 E (EX)
 This massive fluctuation in Theseus's Mad Enhancement is a result of his time spent in the Land of the Dead, a blunder resulting from his friend Pirithous' wish to abduct Persephone, Hades's wife for his own. As a result, Theseus and his friend were locked in the Underworld for an unknown amount of time until Heracles came along on his Twelve Labors and requested to Hades to free the son of Poseidon. Normally, the fluctuation would be '*E (B)*', however, with the magecraft of his Master, this fluctuation is elevated to '*E (EX)*'.

### Magic Resistance

**Magic Resistance** (対魔力, *Tai-Maryoku*?) (localized as "Anti-Magic") grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells out altogether.

### Presence Concealment

**Presence Concealment** (気配遮断, *Kehai Shadan*?, localized as "Obfuscation") is a Class Skill of Assassins and it entails the capacity to hide one's presence as a Servant.

 Elizabeth Báthory (Assassin)

### Riding

**Riding** (騎乗, *Kijō*?, localized as "Dragoon") is a Class Skill of Rider and Saber-class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding.

 B
 Since "*knights*" are soldiers who are proficient in mounted warfare, Arthur's Rank in Riding is very high. Chariots can be ridden the same way. Motorcycles and automobiles are treated as "*modern mounts*", thus a high rank in Riding is also applicable. However, King Arthur can ultimately only control normal mounts. This is due to his/her Class not being Rider, as well as the fact that he/she was a King in the Age of Man, thus, he/she did not have the fortune of having "*Legends of Riding Phantasmal Species*".

### Territory Creation

**Territory Creation** (陣地作成, *Jinchi Sakusei*?, localized as "Area Creation") is a Class Skill of Casters. It is the Skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus, such as for the purpose of collecting mana.

 Her aptitude as a magus is exceptionally high as per her Báthory lineage as well as her administration of Csejte Vára. Both contribute to her above average rank. Due to being summoned outside of the Caster class container, the Skill is weakened from what would normally be a *Rank A+*.

### True Name Discernment

**True Name Discernment** (真名看破, *Shinmei Kanpa*?, localized as "True Name Revelation") is a Class Skill of Rulers in which status information such as one's identity, Skills, and Parameters are automatically revealed to the owner of this Skill when directly encountering a Servant.

## Personal Skills

Personal Skills reflect the abilities the Heroic Spirits had in life and their personal legends.
