Typical Japanese archer

Therefore his legend! Ah, after he nearly died, but did die, but was saved and thus did not die, he went home. That is because his evening routine was to have tea after a long day of work. Ah, but when he was making tea, he forgot to make it traditional Japanese style, and so the man with the lance appeared to punish him once again! Alas, he was a man who was simple, but cunning. Or perhaps he was a blunted blade which retained its edge when most needed. Or perhaps he was like food weeks past the expiration date which still tastes good when one puts some salad dressing on it. In any case!! The man with the lance could not punish him again. This is because his wish to become a magician caused the world to weep for his desires, and so they gifted him with a magical girl. This magical girl drove away the man with the lance, but no sooner had she does so, but she then did leap over his fence and slash her master's arm. This is because he did not act courteously towards her, which is rude and thus her act was justified. Alas, before she could punish him further, he commanded her to still her blade. Which she did, for all magical girls must obey the commands of simpleton country bumpkins whom are gifted with their power and protection. This can be explained the same way that the moon affects the ebb and flow of the ocean.

A Noble Phantasm is the symbol of a heroic spirit's identity and power. For a heroic spirit like King Arthur, that symbol is Excalibur. A Broken Phantasm is what occurs when a Noble Phantasm is forcibly altered in shape or ability somehow, rendering it unstable and only usable once before it explodes with massive, devastating force. However, as heroic spirits only have the one Noble Phantasm, they refrain from doing this.

Due to the fact that they can recreate Noble Phantasms endlessly, though, Archer has shown that he can create several Noble Phantasms and convert them into arrows, essentially launching fast, powerful mini-nukes of magical energy. His conversion of the sword Hrunting, for example, allows the 'arrow' to home in on a target and constantly chase it so long as Archer keeps them within his sight, even if the arrow is deflected or blocked. The arrow is also capable of passing through any obstacle to reach its true aim.

Archer.

I'm serving tons chocolates and loads of beer for a manly party tonight. How many broken bones should I expect by the dawn of the new day?

Who needs Beowulf? Archer already copied his weapon out of the gate.
