Caster Of Black's powers and abilities
In life, Avicebron was weak and feeble due to suffering from many illnesses. In particular, his skin disease was especially serious.[3][5] Due to this, his power as a Servant is incredibly low, and he even claims that Spartacus could have killed him with a single blow. It was for this reason that he was surprised when he saw Salieri's true form, learning that his stats would even give Hans Christian Andersen a good run for his money, since they were even lower than William Shakespeare's or Avicebron's.[18] The reason he was pierced by Chiron's arrow with practically no resistance was also partly due to his weak physical strength, but also because he had already resolved himself to become nourishment for “Adam”.[5] He may be the least useful out of all the classes, in the sense that he cannot do anything by himself. He's too weak to fight himself, so his only option is to have golems do so on his behalf.[6] Although his reliability comes from his great domain as a Golem Master, as a mage, he claims to merely be second rate.[7]
Avicebron is able to scry using thaumaturgy and familiars, he is able to project images from the flame of a Menorah, allowing for live viewing when projected onto a wall in a manner similar to a film. This technique, utilizing airborne golems as a relay, far exceeded the maximum viewing range of the normal remote surveillance thaumaturgy used by magi. He can also communicate telepathically amongst his allies.
Skills
Class Skills
Territory Creation (B Rank): This skill denotes the ability to create oneself an advantageous territory as a mage. In Avicebron's case, he is able to build a “factory” uniquely specialized in the casting of golems.[1][4] Although merely building a golem-minting workshop already requires of him enough budget and long hours of work to make an average magus go bankrupt ten times over, the golems that he mints have the same level of power as an E Rank Servant, and he can produce them infinitely as long as the budget lasts.[3] However, once he gets on track, he can create golems for making more golems, so perhaps not being too concerned about labor cost is a virtue for him. It was for this reason that Darnic had Roche summon him first during the Great Holy Grail War.[5]
Item Construction (B+ Rank): The skill to create items infused with Magical Energy.[1][4] Having assembled the magical foundation of the Kabbalah, he is a Caster specialised in the minting of golems.[3][4] It is impossible for him to make anything else.[1][4]
Personal Skills
Numerology (B Rank): Avicebron excercises a magecraft system known as Kabbalah. By combining it with incantation shortenings from the Notarikon, instantly inputting multiple commands into multiple golems becomes possible.[1][4]
High-Speed Incantation (B+ Rank): Only for incantations related to golems, he has a noteworthy speed.[4]
Tranquil Fig (EX Rank): A skill corresponding to his legend, where he was killed by a certain man that was jealous of his poetic gifts and buried under the roots of a fig tree. It has been said that people became marvelled by the unique sweetness of its fruits, eventually digging it up and exposing the man's sins.[3][4] An unusual skill that activates after being driven to withdrawal, annihilation, or similar.[4]
Golems
Golem in Fate/Apocrypha material.
1/5
Golems has the word meaning ‘embryo’ or ‘moulded being’. Therefore, golems were nothing other than an attempt to reproduce the secret mystery of how God created the human Adam. His workshop within the fortress is not one specialized in defense, but rather more like a factory specialized in golem construction. His skill in Item Construction is specialized towards golems, making it impossible to construct anything else. Devoting himself to their creation, he can produce thirty golems in a single day, and over a two-month period he is able to manufacture over a thousand of them with Roche. He uses them to work around the workshop, organizing tools and cleaning as needed. He also uses his workshop to design his Noble Phantasm, Golem Keter Malkuth.[31] Although merely building a golem-minting workshop already requires of him enough budget and long hours of work to make an average magus go bankrupt ten times over, the golems that he mints have the same level of power as an E Rank Servant, and he can produce them infinitely as long as the budget lasts. However, the golems that appear during regular combat are temporary articles to be employed in that combat alone, and have no endurance at all.[3]
They are inhuman creations of stone and bronze compared to humanoid homunculi. Their quality is such that a modern magus would barely be able to build a single one of them in a year's time, and they possess fluid movements without a trace of the typical awkwardness displayed by other golems. They come in various shapes and types, both humanoid and non-humanoid. Examples include a slender one made from spirit wood, those in the exact form of humans, those with limbs like spiders, those capable of flight that are modeled after dragonflies, and many others. He created a horse golem for Lancer, it was made of a combination of iron and bronze with an uneven design. Its eyes consisted of a red ruby and blue sapphire, which each carried a bewitching shine. He uses materials like jewels for organs and parchment for their skin, each at least eight hundred years old, in great quantities. Mercury is used for applying parchment, and the larger models need their joints reinforced when it is applied. Magic Circuits taken from living beings can be inserted for the creation of golems able to perform magecraft, harvesting them from the Black Faction's homunculi.
Those meant for battle are divided into three groups by size, and they are noted to be eagerly awaiting battle. Using his Numerology, multiple commands can be given to multiple golems instantly by combining shortened arias due to Notarikon. They are an incomparable war force able to easily match average magi in combat, though they will never be a match for a strong Servant. Though they lack in numbers, their sheer recklessness utilizing their large bodies and stone fists to destroy their enemies makes up for that. They are still valuable enough as stumbling blocks for Servants, and they have the potential to fight evenly with low-ranking Servants and defeat those unsuited to close combat like Caster or Assassin. Compared to one of Roche's golems that could not withstand a hit from a Servant, his can withstand up to three hits from Mordred in certain cases. Upon being destroyed, their remains shortly burst into flame and turn to ash.
He can give direct commands to his golems, and he can manipulate ten golems for each fingers. The golems can be converted to a fluid form that coil and shackle around enemies. Though he used this to imprison Spartacus, it is ineffective against the Nameless Vampire as he can change form into mist or bats and it can only dull his movements. He can temporarily stop Achilles's chariot by ordering his golems to split apart and entwine themselves around the legs of the horses and then instantly hardened themselves.
Noble Phantasm
Avicebron possesses the Golem Keter Malkuth, an incomplete Noble Phantasm that he was unable to create in his lifetime. An imitation of the Primordial Human Adam, this autonomous Reality Marble continues to repaint the world so long as it exists.[1][3][4] However, it requires raw materials that exist in reality - just like all other golems.[3] Even if the creator Caster perishes, it will continue moving without it mattering. It can obtain the blessing of the earth, and it will never be destroyed as long as its feet are on the earth.[1][3][4] In addition, it requires a single magus in its central section to act as a reactor core, this giant's strength will vary in accordance with the strength, compatibility of said reactor core. Furthermore, although its initial materials make for 15 meters at best, it will gradually enlarge to 30, 60 meters by means of prana supply from the Earth.[3] Being able to double its size in one hour intervals, the largest size is approximately 1000 meters.[1] Eventually, this giant will probably become paradise itself and transform the entire world into a gentle, peaceful place.[3]
Ivan and Adam fighting
Although Servants are fundamentally omitted as candidates for the reactor core,[4] in the events of the Russian Lostbelt, Avicebron was able to become the core himself.[21] After the Minotaur was defeated, the Magical Energy required to maintain his labyrinth was gone with him. Being a miraculous relic from the Age of Gods, Avicebron decided to use it to build the perfect body for his Noble Phantasm. However, his creation still needed a core. Ivan the Terrible was a primal being, the kind that must have existed on this planet long before humans ever did. To fight such a monster, an equally powerful entity would be needed for the core. Being unable to find such a being, Avicebron became the core itself.[21] When Chaldea finally confronted Ivan, each of Adam's blows slammed into the Tsar's monstrous form with earth-shattering force. Although Ivan called down lightning from the very heavens capable of stripping Adam of its skin and flesh and leveling the deserted buildings around them, the giant's wounds began to knit back together right after as if winding back a clock. The Tsar, on the other hand, still had not so much as a single scratch upon him. After Ivan created a storm with the tip of his trunk to fire his ultimate attack, a blast on par with the lightning attack of a Divine Spirit. Miyamoto Musashi claimed that out of the multiple servants aiding Chaldea, only Avicebron's ultimate golem may have been able to survive it. The blast was ultimately blocked by Mash's Mold Camelot.[22]
