Is this last effect on a per-turn basis, or a per-battle basis, or a per-opponent per-battle basis?
The last one is "works twice per battle, for every separate opponent".

Per battle. It used to be 3 attacks and scale with the level properlike, but it was decided that was too strong.

So I went on a character creating spree for a bit, and the end result, is this set of three characters. I'm actually somewhat proud of these three.
Edit: I overhauled Brave Vestal. The version below is post overhaul.
Brave Vestal's stats are functionally above the bar for a Legend Maker of her level, and this gap will only grow as she reaches higher levels. This synergizes with her focus on healing and intercepting; She can intercept and survive hits that another of her level might not, heal them off, and offer her allies buffs through her second spell. Her first spell is essentially her 'oh shit' button, with Offender pumping her Intercepts (twice, if she wins) and Defender helping her survive any that she loses.
Brave Errant's weapon is worth noting. While the sword is the source of the Critical Strike and is well made, the Modes on it are Stances that she can assume. The stances can be used without her sword. She's also very good with a sword in the first place. If that's not enough, she is the 'fighter' of the group.
Brave Phantom is the rogue of the three, so to speak. Her daggers Bind by striking someone's shadow, and eventually get Pin and Capitalize.

Adventurer's Arm is a shepherd's crook simple staff, and serves as a focusing implement for Brave Vestal's magic. This magic manifests in the form of light, healing the focus of the radiance. As she grows stronger, the staff's structure is reinforced physically and magically until it outright becomes indestructible. Finally, Brave Vestal becomes able to catch incoming attacks on the crook to blunt or potentially throw them back.
- Explosive Restoration: With sufficient healing in excess of a target's maximum health, Brave Vestal can wreak interesting forms of havoc on their form. Including potentially causing them to explode.
- Restorative Cover: Brave Vestal can Intercept attacks beyond her reach with sufficient density of healing, though this doesn't provide any retaliatory damage. With practice, this can be shaped and refined to fake Auto-Counter in an area around her (and some concentration).
- 'Lethal' Bludgeon: Brave Vestal can layer healing over her basic attacks at the cost of additional actions, letting her fake Nonlethal.
Prayer projects her Existential Weight more actively, granting her greater offensive and defensive capabilities along with some luck manipulation.
- Crusade: Prayer's increased projection of her existential weight can force Existence Conflicts, both when she is attacking and being attacked.
Stand Ground is Brave Vestal's ability to survive lethal events on the power of her faith alone, though it has it's limits. If Prayer would grow to a degree where it being active would make Stand Ground's activation guaranteed, Stand Ground would evolve into a form to reflect this.
- Faith Unbroken: Brave Vestal's survival at 1 health keeps her able to immediately act barring intervening action, and Stand Ground can trigger multiple times per battle, or even per turn. As long as she is above 1 health and the ability is not negated, Stand Ground can activate as many times as it's condition is met.
Late Bloomer is the physical expression of Brave Vestal's affinities. As she grows in power, her capabilities are multiplied to increasing degrees. The end result is physical ability that would be ascribed to a Magical Girl of a non-Maker growth affinity.
- Transcendental Transformation: Brave Vestal has the potential for some of her transformation enhancements to remain in her non-transformed state. Should this happen, she would retain her health, base damage, base resilience, and magic modifier without the multipliers from Late Bloomer while untransformed.
Potential Existence is the metaphysical expression of Brave Vestal's affinities. Her growth in power fills out and constructs the framework of Potential Existence, gradually increasing her Existential Weight over time.
- The Maker Of Divinity: At level 100 of Late Bloomer, Brave Vestal will have achieved an Existence Bonus that should only be available for those with the Divinity affinity (the Gears or Cores). The gradual growth and construction of Potential Existence leading to those point is a catalyst, and can be identified as such.

Adventurer's Arm is Brave Errant's sword from the transformation and fighting style in combination. The Critical Strike is tied to the sword through a very sharp edge and Brave Errant's familiarity with it, but otherwise has no inherent magical qualities itself. The Stances from it's Mode Shift can be used independently of the sword, with Brave Errant retaining their abilities even without using the sword from her transformation.
- Redraw: Brave Errant can resummon the sword to it's sheathe with some concentration.
- Mode Shift: Brave Errant may swap between her Solid and Flowing Stances freely once per action, even when that action doesn't actually involve her using her sword.
-- Forceful Flow: Brave Errant may shift stances between hits of Double Hit.
-- Flowing Force: Brave Errant may synchronize hits from Riposte with actions spent attacking in Solid Stance.
Landfall is a challenge, drawing out further physical enhancement to meet those who answer it. The magic also serves to amplify and convey the challenge, whether it be the rasp of drawing her sword, vocalization, a stomp, or the like. Even a silent challenge can serve as the casting, provided there is a visual challenge conveyed.
- Boost By Level: Landfall draws out Brave Errant's magic through physical amplification, and as the amount of enhancement grows, so does the maximum amount of reinforcement that Brave Errant can sustain.
Swordmaster's Prodigy is principally Brave Errant's skill in combat, backed up by the existential weight of her transformation. The existential weight can be focused to disperse the opposing existential weight of spells and spellcasting, albeit at significant effort. Finally, her focus and speed grow as she inflicts notable wounds on foes, the acquisition of glory in combat pushing her onward ever faster.
- Master Skill: Brave Errant has Master Skill while not transformed.
Inhuman Agility is Brave Errant's flexibility, acrobatics, and economy of motion.
Eternian Blade Dance is an innate sense and integration into the flow of combat, granting two main benefits. First, it allows Brave Errant to effortlessly parry attacks and spells affecting her with incredible ease. Second, it allows Brave Errant to retain momentum from attacks performed and focus them into additional strikes.
- Multi-Parry: Individual hits of multi-hit attacks can be parried separately, triggering Riposte individually. Multiple Ripostes this way fold together into a single combined flurry.
- Relentless Flurry: Due to the small gap between attacks and follow-ups, it is possible for Brave Errant to force foes to overextend or just generally prevent them from taking offensive or spellcasting action in lieu of dodging/parrying/intercepting.
Valkyrie's Descent allows Brave Errant to compress the effort of individual strikes into bursts of speed. Bursts of speed can be tracked with High Speed Combat of sufficient levels, though expending additional hits to grant Hypersonic can overcome this.
