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.

## Class Skills

Each Class is granted certain Skills upon summoning. They generally reflect the abilities that they had in life, but they will not always have had the corresponding Skills. Even if the Heroic Spirit did not have the abilities in life, they will still get a lower ranked version of the Skill automatically if they fit the class. Conversely, it is possible for a Servant of a different class to gain any of these skills as Personal Skills, as long as they reflect the abilities that they had in life.

## Personal Skills

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

### Father of Horses

**Father of Horses** (駒の父, *Koma no Chichi*) a skill born of the legend that Lancer created horses to try and win the affections of Demeter.

### Forest Embrace

**Forest Embrace** (森抱擁, *Mori Hōyō*) a skill that crystallizes the essence of Archer's heritage as a prince born in the jungle tribes, Nishadha, as well as his blessings by the Earth Goddesses Narayani and Bhumi.

### Gift of Learning

**Gift of Learning** (学習の才能, *Gakushū no Sainō*) is the skill reflecting Archer's incredible gift and passion for learning anything he puts his heart to. It is based off his feat, in life, of Archer being able to teach himself archery to a level that surpassed the likes of Arjuna, who was being directly taught under Guru Drona, while Archer only used an idol of his mentor to teach himself the skills.

### Light of the Sage

**Light of the Sage** (光の仙人, *Sennin no Kō*) is a skill that materializes as a ominous, all-penetrating light generated upon Avenger materializing on the battlefield. Because Avenger was born surrounded by a blinding light, he is able to blind all warriors.

Avenger is unable to activate a Noble Phantasm.

### Mystic Eyes

**Mystic Eyes** (魔眼, *Magan*?, lit. Demon Eye, localized as "Demonic Eye") is a Skill where one has possession of Mystic Eyes, capable of imparting magical effects upon a subject and interfering with the outside world.

### The Denied Hero

**The Denied Hero** (否めの英勇, *Iname no Eiyū*) the skill that defines Archer's true identity as a Heroic Spirit; it is a Personal Skill that crystallizes his existence as a forgotten warrior.

### Stoicism

**Stoicism** (ストイシズム, *Sutoishizumu*, 忍苦, lit. *"Equanimity"*): is the skill that reflects Rider's identity as a Philosopher King. As a Skill, the philosophy expresses itself in the ability to remain completely calm and clearly analyze a situation in battle, thereby allowing Rider to gradually adapt to and be able to eventually perfectly counter his opponent via “habituation.”
