The Berserker (バーサーカー, Bāsākā?) Class Card is a card produced between the Fifth Ainsworth Holy Grail War and Sixth Ainsworth Holy Grail War for the usage of Beatrice Flowerchild in Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA. After her final battle with Illyasviel von Einzbern, Beatrice's change in mentality brings about a metamorphosis to a Rider Class Card.
Profile
Identity
The True Name of the Divine Spirit of the Class Card is MagniWP (マグニWP, Maguni?), the half-god, half-giant son of Thor and the giant JárnsaxaWP. He and his half-brother, MóðiWP, both survived Ragnarök, finding Thor's hammer Mjölnir upon the reborn earth. He is relatively unknown amongst Norse gods, having left no records of his death or any particular weaknesses.[3] Though both he and his brother inherited the characteristics of Thor, he is the only one between them whose strength rivals that of a god,[3] due to his giant heritage. He also took possession of Megingjörð and Járngreipr, and he has a horn in his forehead that normally appears to be in a form similar to the forehead jewel possessed by Thor.
Appearance
Due to inheriting Thor's Divine Core, installing Magni normally results in an appearance quite similar to the God himself, consisting of a massive arm wrapped in Járngreipr, a red wrap around the waist closed with two horn clasps, fur wrapped boots and a thick white furred cloak. Magni's restrained horn appears similar to Thor's forehead jewel in this state. When Thor's Divine Core is neutralised, Magni's nature as a giant becomes more pronounced, with thick dark nails, dark fur covering the limbs and torso and a long tail. The horn on the forehead also extending dramatically as the face darkens.[4]
Personality
The Divine Core within the Class Card imbues thoughts of "Don't retreat", "Don't stop", and "Push forward". Due to having been taught such by Thor, Magni believes retreating is unforgivable and that one must always keep going forwards.[3]
Role
The Class Card is believed to be Thor at first,[5] but later revealed to be Magni.[3]
Other appearances
Non in-universe appearances
Abilities
As a half-giant half-god, the monstrous power that comes from Magni's massive frame is beyond human knowledge and belongs solely to the realm of the gods.[1]
Divine Spirit
Magni has no recorded weaknesses. Due to being so similar to his father, it is easy for others to assume that he is Thor and try to apply the weakness of being poisoned and retreating nine steps that felled his father. He is said to be a Berserker even more uncontrollable than Thor.[3] He possesses incredible strength said to rival the Gods,[3] due to his Giant heritage from his mother. This allows him to wield Mjölnir without the need of his gauntlet or belt to boost his strength.
Skills
Class Skills
- Mad Enhancement (— Rank): Due to the teachings of Thor, Magni finds the idea of retreat unforgivable and has a negative modifier applied to his evasion. If he were to take nine steps backwards in the midst of battle, his madness will bolster by one rank.[1][3]
Personal Skills
- Gullfaxi (— Rank): Magni's horse. A majestic steed whose name means "Golden mane". It is said that the tracks left behind by Gullfaxi as he rode through the sky were like thunder roaring through a sea of clouds. It is unavailable in the Berserker class as a result of the loss of the Riding Skill.[1]
- Megingjörð (— Rank): The belt that is in part required to wield Mjölnir, contrary to its legend, does not actually double the User's strength; it is simply an old, worn-out regular belt from Asgard, but Beatrice herself does believe it to have an effect.[1]
- Divinity (E- Rank): Since he is half a high-ranking Divine Spirit and a half-giant, Magni's Divinity was originally equivalent to A~B rank, but it was degraded after the twilight of the gods.[1]
- Thunder (A Rank): A skill that is only available for use in empty visible fields. It is an ability Magni inherited from Thor and is used to charge Mjölnir, doubling the power of its strike. It can be used as is for attacks, but its accuracy is low.[1][2]
- Natural Body (A Rank): He was born with a perfect physical body since birth. Magni was able to easily lift the legs of the giant HrungnirWP at the age of three, which is unquestionably of the highest rank. It nullifies physical, spiritual and mental weakness of A rank or lower.
- Twilight Survivor (— Rank): A skill that denotes Magni's status as one of the survivors of Ragnarök, the twilight of the gods. It activates automatically upon the moment of Magni's death. The Divine Core of Thor, inherited from his father, takes the damage, nullifying a lethal attack only once. Mjolnir and inherited skills are lost as a result.[1]
- Monstrous Strength (A+~A++ Rank): While possessing no special abilities, Magni's huge Divine Arm clad in iron cuirass and a power belt boasts tremendous monstrous strength. His Monstrous Strength starts at A+ and changes to A++ after the activation of Twilight Survivor.[1]
User
Berserker wielding Mjölnir.
Including the Class Card gives the user Magni's massive Divine Arm (神腕, Kami Ude?) equipped with the gauntlet JárngreiprWP, capable of great feats of immense strength as well as protecting the user's arm. It is one of two items Thor needed to lift Mjölnir.
Installing the Class Card gives the user, in addition to the arm, the belt MegingjörðWP, which doubles the user's strength and is the second item Thor needed to lift Mjölnir; the forehead jewel, Magni's clothing that are styled after those of Thor, and Mjölnir. Beatrice uses it as a chest wrap.
As a result of Magni's immense power, Beatrice's Include and Install barely manages to transform her arm into that of Magni's.[1]
