Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- die Ewigkeit: eternity destruction. Magical formula created by Mercurius to support ascension to godhood. Alchemy that fuses user and Holy Relic to create superhuman. It enables its user to use souls as a weapon and armor.
-
Spiritual attack: through Ewigkeit, entire body of the Apostle turns into murderous weapon. It's useless to block it physically, what it damages is the very essence of the human, soul. Regardless of absence of pain and body status, just by slightest touch it can kill anyone. Thus, even incorporeal spirits can't survive in front of this power.
-
History poison: by exploiting thoughts and emotion that make up Holy Relic, Apostle can use this superimposed history as a deadly poison that damages body and inhibits regeneration.
-
-
Spiritual armor: Apostles use absorbed souls in the form of powerful, spiritual defense. Natural durability raises in proportion of absorbed souls. At around 300 souls, it's impossible to harm Apostle with anything on Earth, including nukes. Rusalka has few times that amount. That's why spiritual attacks is the best way to harm them.
-
Enhanced senses: physical strength is not the only thing that die Ewigkeit can supplement. This applies to senses too. Their vision can now accurately see in a few hundred meters and their hearing can recognize voices even through obstructions.
-
Spiritual vision: along with their enhanced senses, Apostles gain ability to perceive souls. This allows them to measure quality of the soul and see when physical vision is useless. This also let them see what is otherwise invisible (like "flying slashes" from Ren's Assiah).
-
-
Immortality: because Apostles effectively acquire lifeforce of all beings they have eaten, naturally their lifeforce can't even be compared with normal humans. Diseases, poisons and alcohol is no longer effective. Since soul detoriates with age, sucking souls prevents this impending doom by prolonging time when soul whithers completely. Thus, Apostle can only be killed by destroying Holy Relic and all souls it contains.
-
Regeneration: Apostle can easily rebuild own's body by absorbing souls of others. Injuries such as missing limbs or deep wounds can be healed just by sacrificing souls in the stock. And by exploiting spiritual limits (limit of souls one's can absorb) it's possible to heal from any injury by attacking with entire stock in a one attack, thus healing in proportion (that's entire body).
-
Non-corporeality: even with soul consumed, it still doesn't mean death to an Apostle. Strong souls can keep their ego even while absorbed. Apostle can takeover Holy Relic of another consumer, dominate body and rebuild physical body from nothing. However, because of a strong causal bond between Apostle and Holy Relic it's very hard to accomplish and lost battle means losing own's ego.
-
-
Information absorption: all information is recorded in the souls, from memories to emotions and personal experience. Apostle can use this knowledge for their own means. However, because of tremondous amount of information, high level computing capability is required and this ability is almost useless in the course of battle, because one's identity would disappear (unless it's someone with a huge ego, such as Reinhard or someone's crazy, such as Schreiber).
- Magic: in her quest to extinguish her sense of inferiority, Rusalka managed to become excellent magician. This magic is not related to die Ewigkeit, but just a remnant of mystery from Dai Yon Ten's Atziluth.
-
Shapeshifting: Anna can change her appearance to look older than she is.
-
Noli me tangere: contract magic. Rusalka can force unbreakble contract under someone's consensus. This magic creates tattoo in the form of crimson scorpion that can still move across body. If pledge is broken than scorpion will rupture stomach of an unfortunate's victim. This curse can only be taken off by 3rd person, but it isn't so easy as scorpion itself can attack anyone.
-
Pied Piper: curse created by exploiting fairy tale of "Pied Piper of Hameln". With just one touch Rusalka can override target's mind to focus on only one thing - go to place of her choice. This way she can gather many, potential victims in one place, in a very short time.
-
Memory revival: Rusalka can restore once's forgotten memories with a simple eye contact.
-
Mystic eyes: unrelated to spiritual vision of die Ewigkeit, this supernatural sense can see accurately see magical power and lifeforce (so called "aura") of people and nature to judge essence and power of all things in creation. For example, ordinary people have warm colors (such as orange and yellow), while Wilhelm has color of black and deep red (which means he walks the path of bloodshed).
-
Life support: Rusalka's magical prowss is enough to maintain her body even after losing her Holy Relic. Her cell activity increases automatically to promote regeneration and she reduces sensation of pain to avoid disturbance in concentration. She can go as far as rebuild brain cells.
- Nachzehrer: Rusalka's familiars, granting her ability to manipulate shadows and few other attributes.
-
Shadow manipulation: unrelated to her Briah, Rusalka has a magic ability that enables her to control shadows. These shadows are mixed with blood and resentment of its victims, so not only they can erode physical body, but also spirit and soul.
-
Trace clean-up: Rusalka radiates huge amount of shadows that instantly devours broken structures, dead bodies and even stains of blood in a huge area. She uses this to avoid suspicion.
-
Puppetry: Rusalka changes her shadow into strings which attach to dead body allowing her to control it like a puppet. She came up with it after analyzing less than 20% of Riza's Holy Relic, replacing her as a master of Tubal Cain. Even though it pales in comparison to Pallida Mors' accuracy and precision, this ability has few benefits on its own. It can be controlled from a remote location, so Rusalka doesn't have to reveal herself and she can conduct her voice through Tubal Cain. Moreover, she can use Cain's lightning to vastly increase size of her shadows.
-
Psychometry: Rusalka can obtain memories by eroding one's inner world with her shadows. Additionally, she can do that with dead body by disassembling it.
-
Shadow world: Rusalka completely submerges her opponent in her shadows, torturing victim physically and spiritually by showing suffering of contained souls in the form of dreams. It was never used in a battle, only as a form of torture.
-
Shadow mimicry: Rusalka can effectively imitate someone's shadow and attach itself to others. Keen eye can see that shadow is doubled.
-
-
Shadow Constructs: Rusalka can create autonomous shadow monsters, seemingly infinitely as long as shadows exist in her vicinity. This's a true essence of Nachzehrer, familiars of the Witch. They can regenerate through shadows and their destruction doesn't influence Rusalka in any way.
-
Slimes: shadow takes a form of slimes. They're very weak and are used as a distraction more than anything.
-
Giant: Rusalka creates jet-black giant resembling two dimensional film.
-
Hydra: Rusalka creates up to several hundred dragon heads that attack her opponent(s) from all sides. Collectively it's known as Hydra.
-
- Elizabeth Bathory (Bloody Countess): Rusalka's Holy Relic, phenomeon expansion type, torture diary of Elizabeth Bathory. This diary contains description of torture devices, written by Bathory during her imprisonment. Rusalka can freely extract these tools and use it for combat. While Rusalka receives some backlash by destruction of these instruments, she can never be killed by them and destroying diary itself is the only effective way to kill her. After re-summoning them, damage dealt previously is restored. Furthermore, she can manifest them in any spot she wants, from empty air to underground.
-
Wheel: 5 meters spinning wheel that rips apart ground and everything on its way. Speed increases when blood and screams are on its way.
-
Chains: 20 meters of distorted chains of steel that automatically track and capture Rusalka's opponent.
-
Slates: two pieces of stone walls covered in spikes that capture and crush opponent from both sides.
-
Needle: spear sized poison needle that burns flesh with a simple touch.
-
Iron Maiden: iron maiden that emerges from shadows and captures victim in a hug of death, skewering body with innumerable thorns. Unlikes other tools, this one isn't used for torture, but execution. Additionally, Rusalka can fuse it with her shadow to create giant shadow maw that captures everything on its way. It's especially useful against high-speed opponents.
- Csejte Ungarn Nachzehrer: Rusalka's Briah, Hadou type, law that emerged from craving "I want to pull legs of others". Crystallization of her inferiority complex, desire to catch up to everyone else, becoming star that shines along with everyone. Expression of this wish is an ability that stops anyone who touches her shadow. Immobilised person can still speak, but not move. Rusalka has a complete freedom in what to stop: from physical body and all its body functions (even parts of it, like heart, blood flow or respiratory system) to spirit and soul. This ability works perfectly in combination with Nachzehrer and restraint can be solved only by someone's with higher spiritual capacity than Rusalka. However, it can't be used in a complete darkness and overcoming constraint gives Rusalka a huge backlash.
