STR:
B C, END: C, AGI: B C
MAG: D (EX), LUK: D, Phantasm: A+
Within Hibiki's chest resides a modified shard of what was once the spear of Odin, Gungnir. It - and its spread throughout her body - is the source of her powers, and her energy. In effect it is similar to a Magic Core, albeit an artificial one, and fulfills the major part of the massive prana costs required for many of her abilities. She is capable of 'kickstarting' it via song, rather than requiring a mage to channel their prana into her. It is not capable of sustaining her existence on its own, however.

Class Skills

Mad Enhancement: EX
The Mad Enhancement does not work normally - rather than empowering Hibiki directly, it activates Shadow of Gungnir: Bloodbath Serenade immediately.
Under almost no circumstances will Hibiki willingly enter her berserk state - she hates and fears it.
Magic Resistance: C D
Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Cancel Single-Action spells. Magic resistance of the same degree as an amulet that rejects magical energy.

Personal Skills

Charisma: C-
Hibiki makes friends easily; her kind, forthright, and passionate nature can even make friends of misguided enemies. However, she is no ruler, is an awful liar, and is terrible at intimidation - her Charisma does not function for these purposes.
Instinct: B
While Hibiki's formal training is… perhaps questionable, it has improved her instincts dramatically.
Prana Burst: A B-
Hibiki can strike incredible blows and move at high speed by condensing prana drawn from her Magic Core and releasing it through her arms and legs. Currently, the power of this ability is lacking compared to the norm, and it requires more time than normal to activate in battle.
This skill is sealed while Penetrating Spear, Gungnir: Believe in Justice, and Seize It is inactive.
Prana Channeling: A-
As long as she has time to sing, she can absorb the externalizing or charging prana of others into herself, channel her prana into others, or similar effects. In life, this fueled or enhanced her own attacks; as a Servant she can use it to fill her own prana supplies. Channeling prana through her affects her physically as per the backlash of Superb Song: Rainbow Flower.
Music-based prana, and prana from 'spears,' are all the prana she is truly compatible with; her absorption of other effects is less efficient, and she suffers backlash as if they were of a greater rank than their power indicates.
Humanity Fading Away: C
As the relic within her spreads, changing veins and cells to its own material, Hibiki becomes less and less human. Even now, she is not considered human for the purposes of conceptual effects that target them. Should it grow further, it is likely her internal structure would lose even the semblance of human anatomy it possesses now. Attempting to use Reinforcement on her could have unpredictable effects, if the mage using it is not both highly skilled and knowledgeable of her unique condition.
At this rank, this effect increases her Strength and Agility by two ranks at all times, and her Endurance by one (this is factored into her statblock); this does not stack with the effects of Penetrating Spear, Gungnir: Believe in Justice, and Seize It.
Resistance to the backlash caused by Superb Song: Rainbow Flower is based on this skill; at this level, the grievous injuries ordinarily caused by using it at A-rank become simply pain and strain.
Her ability to resist the activation caused by Shadow of Gungnir: Bloodbath Serenade is inversely proportional to the rank of this skill - the more it increases, the harder it will be for her to regain control of her body, and the easier it will be to provoke her into activating it. Should this Skill reach a rank of A, she will before long be forever lost to the relic within her.
The rank of this Skill could theoretically be reduced by someone with sufficient skill at physical and spiritual surgery, and with access to healing magic, but Hibiki herself does not know how such a thing might be done.
