Excalibur Proto

**Excalibur: Sword of Promised Victory** (約束された勝利の剣エクスカリバー, *Yakusokusareta Shōri no KenEkusukaribā*?), differentiated from the Excalibur of his female counterpart as **Excalibur Proto** (エクスカリバー・プロト, *Ekusukaribā Proto*?), is a Divine Construct and the golden holy sword of the male King Arthur. Unlike its counterpart, it is a weapon properly doubly sealed by both Invisible Air and the Restraints of the Round Table (as it is unknown whether or not its counterpart is subject to the Restraints as well). It is revered to be the shining holy sword that will save the planet and a golden blade that repels any and all evils, built to defeat an outside enemy aiming to destroy the planet.

If seven or more seals are released, the sword's true power as a Divine Construct to save the world is released, but otherwise, it still acts as a varying strength Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm. For example, with six restraints released, the sword will match the strength of the '*Rank A++*' attack that its counterpart can unleash at full strength. At lower seal releases, the Noble Phantasm's True Name is not invoked and it weakens in a scalar form (this weakening is what gives the sword the Anti-Army classification) with five restraints equating to a '*Rank A*' release, four restraints equating to a '*Rank B++*' release, three restraints equating to a '*Rank B*' release, two restraints equating to a '*Rank C++*' release, and one restraint equating to a '*Rank C*' release. Once Invisible Air is removed, the seals remain locked until Saber begins the decision process, resulting in a series of clanking sounds as the Restraints are lifted one by one.

As mentioned above, even without a proper True Name Release, Excalibur is still able to release its characteristic slash of light that varies in strength but are all weaker than its Anti-Fortress attack; however, this weakening in its destructive power can be somewhat compensated via the use of Saber's '*Mana Burst*' Skill.

**Excalibur Rheanova: Rayblade of Radiant Promises** (輝き約束の光剣エクスカリバー・レアノヴァ, *Kagayaki Yakusoku no KōkenEkusukaribā Reanova*?) is the Noble Phantasm of Rhiannon Pendragon. Having inherited the Divine Construct to save the world from her deceased father after he fell in battle at the Battle of Camlann, she wields it in his stead to govern over Camelot. In her hands, the Sword of Promised Victory "renames" itself, as part of the blessing it received from the Lady of the Lake upon Rhiannon's inheritance of the blade (this is also the effect of the "fourteenth" Restraint placed on the sword, "Rhiannon"). It also split itself in two as Rhiannon's preferred combat style is with the use of two swords and as the inheritor, the sword takes on the shape that best fits its new master.

As is the case of the blade when it was in the hands of her father, Arthur, the twin blades of Excalibur Rheanova are hidden by the wind barrier of Invisible Air. This is mostly due to the fact that even when split, the two swords can still be easily perceived to be that of Excalibur, the strongest holy sword, thereby, allowing her opponents to easily glean her True Name and deduce her main weakness. While her skill at swordsmanship isn't on par with her father's, she still is an incredibly strong swordsman and this is doubly so when she is perfectly ambidextrous and can maneuver the twin blades of Excalibur Rheanova with total ease (her father praises her highly for her skill).

Like her father before her, Saber is capable of performing partial True Name Releases of her holy sword. However, the only way to achieve a full True Name Release of her Noble Phantasm is to unseal the Restraint placed on her holy sword herself. Once this is done, the twin swords of Excalibur Rheanova fuse back into its true form, allowing Saber to begin the process of unsealing the remaining seven Restraints necessary to fulfill the conditions for a complete True Name Release. Despite possessing the blessing of Vivian, Saber is only able to withstand the full force of Excalibur Rheanova three times before her body breaks down.
