Would someone mind drawing a Command Seal sigil for Nora and Capitalist? I'll reward my favorite with a little bit of inside info.

"Iskandar is no tyrant!" you yell, vaguely sensing Waver giving you a 'wtf' look to your right. "His true goal is to save humanity from those who oppress it. To free and help all who need it! Have you not the same goal as well, Archer? And as for you, ...other Rider, would you satisfy yourself with an empire of bone and ash, your legacy broken and corrupted by the wicked? You have yet to see what this world truly holds."
"I fought for freedom once, and I won it," Archer says, raising his musket. "In the modern world, men are free, and to imply otherwise is falsehood, plain and simple. What men do with their freedom is their own concern, but it is up to each man to help themselves to their future."
"And my empire is no desolate wasteland, nor is my legacy tarnished!" the enemy Rider declares. "Even the modern children of my homeland hold my name in reverence! Statues of me abound, as do tales of my rule!"
"What now? Waver whispers. "Can your Servant actually handle theirs?"
"I think we'd better run," you say. "God only knows how many more are coming."
"Now, to battle!" the enemy Rider roars, rushing forward with his ornate spear held high. Quick as a flash, Iskandar conjures a massive black chariot, hopping in as musket balls clink off the chariot's body. Iskandar exchanges a rapid series of blows with the enemy Rider as he rides away, only to circle back around towards the enemy Rider.
The enemy Rider summons his sailing canoe and hops in; it seems to float above the pavement, even if it should only logically work in water. You see a number of what looks like ghostly silouettes of men manning the canoe's oars.
"CHARGE!" Iskandar yells, snapping the reins as the canoe picks up speed moving towards you. You, Capitalist, and Waver brace yourself for the coming impact.
The collision is much better than you expect, as Iskandar's chariot easily shatters the other Rider's vehicle and deflects the bullets fired by Archer. Yet almost immediately, as you circle back around, you see Rider boarding another canoe.
"My Ocean-Crossing Fleet was made of more than one boat!" the other Rider boasts. "Even if one hull is capsized, the others shall continue on!"
[ ] This fight isn't going anywhere. Use Iskandar's chariot to flee.
[ ] Ask Iskandar if he's willing to deploy his Noble Phantasm. (???)
[ ] Ask Capitalist to deploy his Noble Phantasm. (???)
-[ ] Use a Command Seal if he refuses. (3 remaining)
[X] Ask Capitalist to deploy his Noble Phantasm. (???)
The true weakness of indigenous tribespeople - rampant consumerism! Time to show Rider how all his accomplishments have turned into nothing but gaudy tourist attractions!
[X] Ask Capitalist to deploy his Noble Phantasm. (???)
"Capitalist, can you use your Noble Phantasm?" you ask. "I want to end this fight here and now."
The dapper man frowns at you. "Afterwards, I will be forced to enter spirit form until such time as you can restore my Prana. Do you find these terms acceptable?" He manages to say the sentence surprisingly quickly in the face of the charging enemy Rider.
"Just do it!" you yell.
"Very well!" Capitalist declares, spinning his cane between his hands before tossing it away, dissolving it in mid flight. He draws a small hardcover book from within his coat, opening it to what looks like a random page. "There is one force by which all are bound, and to which all willingly submit! Now, witness the true wealth of nations! Bow down before the Invisible Hand!"
You feel the massive surge of Prana from Capitalist in your very bones, before you see Rider begin to be battered by what you think is probably invisible fists. He stumbles within his canoe, falling to his knees, before being lifted into the air.
"BEGONE WITH YOU!" your servant roars, throwing the Hawaiian king into the distance with the sheer power of the market. Rider flies over a nearby hill, vanishing over the horizon.
"He'll be back..." Capitalist says, before vanishing into the ether. A quick check shows that Capitalist is still summoned, but in spirit form as he suggested earlier.
In lieu of another charge, Iskandar turns his chariot towards the Archer, who doesn't seem too eager to fight now.
"Those words...I know who that Servant was," the Archer says. "Of all the legends I thought I might encounter, I never thought I would face Adam Smith of Scotland, of all people.
The Wealth of Nations - Natural Progress of Opulence
Rank: B | Class: Conceptual/Utility
As a man, Capitalist authored a treatise called An Inquiry into the Nature and Sources of the Wealth of Nations, which made him the virtual founder of the field of economics. Throughout the generations to follow, Capitalist's theories were employed by governments and businesses around the world to bring on a greatly heralded era of new wealth and production.
The Wealth of Nations is a conceptual Noble Phantasm that represents the sheer quantity of wealth Capitalist produced throughout the world, even though he never saw any of it in life. Using his Noble Phantasm, Capitalist can draw upon any of the legal tender of modern governments, creating a near-limitless flow of cash and coins. He can also dispel the money he creates at will; any money created by Capitalist but not dispelled before his death will remain in existence, safe from the crushing pressure of the World.
The Wealth of Nations - Invisible Hand
Rank: C (A++?) | Class: Conceptual/Anti-Unit
The Wealth of Nations contained another central concept that would become gospel throughout the world: the idea that numerous people, all acting in their individual self interest, can produce a net good for the world as a whole. This idea was known as the Invisible Hand, reflecting the infinite possibilities Capitalist viewed in a properly regulated free market.
Over time, though, misconceptions of Capitalist's ideas by the citizenry caused the Invisible Hand to become a misnomer and bogeyman, the phrase twisted and warped away from its original meaning in Capitalist's writing. This corruption has caused Invisible Hand to manifest as a literal invisible hand, a powerful magical telekinesis that can strike and pound foes with the user's net worth. It is a mere shadow of its true self in this regard, but with the aid of a Command Seal, Capitalist may be able to unleash the power of Invisible Hand's original meaning.
"Will you fight on without your comrade?" Iskandar asks Archer.
"I should report these developments to my Master," Archer says, leaping over the chariot and running into the nearby woods. Iskandar tries following him briefly, but Archer seems to have completely vanished.
"So that's a thing," you mutter as Waver lets out his frustration next to you.
