ChakravartinWP: Turner of the Wheel (転輪聖王, Tenrin Jōō?) is the "minor" Noble Phantasm of Buddha, necessary to use his "major" Noble Phantasm Amita Amitābha. It is also the Noble Phantasm of Ashoka.
The term Chakravartin refers to the concept of the “ideal universal ruler” of the Vedic periodWP of ancient India. There are two wheels, the larger being seventy kilometers. The smaller is a seven kilometer wide chakramWP of light that expands in the sky above Buddha, a weapon based on an implement utilized by usually unarmed BuddhasWP to defeat their enemies.[1]
It slowly revolves in the sky, shooting arrows of light at enemies within the ring. It can be described as a "mobile artillery platform that can shoot in any direction," the ring of light acting like a rail on which the artillery platform moves along. The rings of light, reminiscent of rainbows, increases with each turn of combat, reaching a maximum of seven rings that correspond to that of the seven treasures the Chakravartin (ruler) possesses. Once all seven are manifested at the peak of battle, Amita Amitābha can be activated.[1]
It shows the capacity to take over the Moon Cell Holy Grail War, completely changing the rules of the war.[2] It breaks SE.RA.PH, and Rin Tohsaka speculates that it seeks to destroy SE.RA.PH. The Chakravartin envelops the virtual sky of the Moon Cell, each floor level became independent, and Masters are no longer forced to kill each other.[3] Since Chakravartin has appeared, the Dead Face phenomenon began to perpetuate.[4]
Development[]
In the game development of Fate/EXTRA, Chakravartin was axed because of the production cost. Furthermore, Kinoko Nasu said that this level of visuals is something you have to do in an action game.[1] However, Chakravartin was fully used in Fate/EXTRA Last Encore, the anime adaptation. Its Japanese name has changed to Turner of the Heaven's Wheel (天輪聖王, Tenrin Jōō?).[2]

Chakravartin.
This is Saver’s minor Noble Phantasm. It’s a weapon based on an implement used by usually unarmed Buddha to defeat their enemies.
Chakravartin (Turner of the Wheel) is the concept of the “ideal universal ruler” that was used in the Vedic period of ancient India.
The weapon Chakravartin is a 7km wide chakram of light that is expanded into the sky above the Buddha. While revolving slowly, it shoots arrows of light at the Servants within its ring.
Think of it as a mobile artillery platform that can shoot in any direction. The ring of light is like a rail that the artillery platform moves along.
The number of rings of light increase each turn, until it has reached the maximum of seven. These seven rings correspond to the seven treasures that the Turner of the Wheel (ruler) possesses.
The rings are reminiscent of rainbows, and at the peak of battle this weapons ultimate attack “Transmigration Into One” can be activated by calling it’s true name.
The rings of light combine into one with a clang and the ring starts spinning at high speed. Before long it morphs to resemble the ring that floats behind the Celestial Buddha Variocana, and pillars of light coming from the entire 360 degrees of the ring are focused on the player’s Servant, and the convergence causes a huge explosion that resembles a black hole.
…Well of course this is a written description that didn’t take production costs into consideration in the slightest, so of course it was axed. I guess if you want this level of visuals, you have to do it in an action game.天輪聖王【宝具名】
チャクラ・ヴァルティン。
セイヴァーの小宝具。本来なら徒手空拳の覚者が持つ、相手を倒すための武具。
転輪聖王とは古代インドヴェーダ時代における理想の王のこと。
チャクラ・ヴァルティンは覚者の上空に展開する、七㎞メートルの光輪。ゆっくりと回転しながら、輪の中にいるサーヴァントヘビュンビュンと光の矢を放つ。
全天包囲型・自動移動砲台……とお考えください。
光の輪をレールにみたてて、その上を砲台が移動している、みたいな。
時間ごとに光の輪は増えていき、最終的には七つにまで増大。この七つの輪は聖王が持つ七つの宝と同義である。
その姿は虹を思わせ、戦いが最高速に達したところで真名開放による最終攻撃”一に還る転生”が発動。
光の輪がガコン!と音をたてて一つに合体、高速回転していき、やがて大日如来が背負う後光っぽいものに変化、プレイヤーサーヴァントへ360度から光の柱が集結、ブラックホールを思わせる収束から大爆発、みたいな。
───とまあ、ここまで制作コストを考えぬ字コンテなので、当然のように没になった。この手のスペクタクルはアクションゲームでやってろって話ですよ。 - ↑ 2.0 2.1

[] Fate/EXTRA Last Encore - WORLD/WORD: Dead Face Dead Face
The countenance of death. An extremely rare strengthening phenomenon that came to be after the completion of the Chakravartin.
Cyber Ghosts are beings without bodies, wandering to seek life.
On the other hand, Dead Face is a type of malicious data, while being alive, being trapped by death.
Because the death of a body and the death of a mind are separate in SE.RA.PH, if death is incomplete, even mental activities will pile up as curses.
With the Angelica Cage closed and the Holy Grail War over, the function to cleanse the dead's thoughts ceased, and the dead were left unattended.
Dead Face was born from this.
Mental data that could not completely die even upon death will become a lightning mask, moving a dead body, eventually mutating the body into malicious data, and changing the face to a mask of death.
When the body, originally satisfied by its end, is finally polluted, becoming a "Moving Dead", all of their purpose of life will be lost, and it becomes a disaster wandering the Floor.デッドフェイス
死相。チャクラ・ヴァルティン成立後、ごく稀に発露するようになった強化現象。
サイバーゴーストは、生を求めて彷徨う肉体の無いもの。
一方で、デッドフェイスは、生きながら死に囚われた、何も生み出さない悪性情報の一種。
SE.RA.PHでは肉体の死と精神の死が別物のため、死にきらなければ精神活動も呪いとして蓄積される。
熾天の檻が閉ざされ、聖杯戦争が終わったことで死者の無念を分解する浄化機能が停止し、死を放置することになった。
そこから生まれたものが死相―――デッドフェイスである。
死を迎えながら死にきれない精神情報は電光の仮面となり、死した肉体を動かし、いずれ肉体すら悪性情報に変質させ、その素顔を死の貌に塗り替えてしまう。
満足な終わりを迎えた肉体すら汚染し、『動く死人』に変わってしまった時、その生命意義はすべて失われ、フロアをさまようだけの災害となる。
