Naofumi Iwatani/Powers and Abilities

Psychic Powers
Itsuki has theorized that Naofumi possesses innate psychic abilities that give him advantages that the other heroes simply don't possess:


 * Perfect Balance - Naofumi's constitution prevents him from feeling dizziness or motion sickness, he also becomes immune to the adverse effects of alcohol, no matter how much he drinks or, in the case of the Lukor Fruit, eats. Any alcohol he does drink seems to directly contribute to his mana pool. His ability to eat the Lukor Fruit without any problems has become such a well-known trait about him that it's considered the gold standard in confirming Naofumi's identity.
 * Animal Charisma - Animals feel at ease and become friendly towards Naofumi. This allows Naofumi to tame monsters with ease. This also affects, to an extent, Demi-Humans and Beastfolks with animal attributes.

Other Skills
Naofumi has received training in different fields, both in his original world and in the new one he finds himself in, and, as a result, he rarely yearns for money.


 * Supreme Chef - People habitually become addicted to Naofumi's cooking, even monsters that Filo ran over with her carriage and tossed into the back wagon like a potato sack become first-class gourmet cooking after a few minutes in Naofumi's capable hands. Some people have started calling Naofumi the "Cooking Hero" because of how delicious his cooking is.
 * Potion Craft - One of the first things that Naofumi learns to do in the new world is to make potions. Though initially a novice, but after extensive self-education and constant practice, the art of potion-making becomes second nature to Naofumi to the point where he can create healing potions, cures for various diseases, herbicides and even the legendary Yggdrasil medicine.
 * Accessory Craft - As payment for defending him from a group of bandits, Hickwaal trained Naofumi in the accessory crafting business, helping him become more proficient in refining ores, enchanting gems and even shaping monster bones into first-class items.
 * Merchant - Cut off from Melromarc's cash flow, Naofumi had to learn to make money as a traveling merchant. He can easily haggle products being sold at a high price down a twentieth of their cost. The fact that he's been known to carry Balloons around with him under his cloak and have them bite people who try to refuse him service or rip him off helps.

Legendary Shield Skills

 * Rope Shield - Transforms the shield into a rope.
 * Dog Bite - Causes the Shield to grow two dog heads that bite at people who attack it.
 * Enhance Material - Plants that Naofumi harvests to increase in quality if picked up by hand: Poor quality plants become normal, normal becomes high, etc.
 * Enhance Potion - A skill that augments the effects and potency of healing potions. So long as Naofumi is holding the potion when someone else drinks it, its effects will be drastically greater than what it's original form would have been.
 * Voice Gengar Shield - Transforms the shield into a megaphone.
 * Soul Eater Shield - A shield that drains away at magical energy, allows the perception of souls and magical energy in the raw, and control over the undead at the cost of a large amount of SP.
 * Hate Reaction - A skill that lures monsters. It can drag out the real form and reveal opponents lightly concealed by magic and skills. Therefore, detection can be used in cases of concealment.
 * Attack Support - Summons a dart in Naofumi's hands. The next attack deals double damage on targets hit by the dart.
 * Air Strike Shield - Instantly creates a shield for defense anywhere within range. This skill is very versatile, as shields can be created in the air allowing him and others to jump on them to reach or escape threats. The Air Strike Shield can also be thrown at targets doing light damage and knocking targets off balance.
 * Second Shield - Creates a second shield in a chain.
 * Third Shield - Creates a third shield in a chain.
 * Chain Shield - Links the floating shields with chains, trapping enemies in between them.
 * Shield Prison - Creates a cage of shields that can be used to protect himself or others as well as trap enemies.
 * Change Shield - Allows Naofumi to change shields summoned by certain skills such as Shield Prison and Air Strike Shield to other kinds of shields.
 * Change Shield (Attack) - Attack version of Change Shield. Used together with Shield Prison to use the skill known as Iron Maiden.
 * Iron Maiden - A skill that has to be activated by using first Shield Prison to trap an enemy and Change Shield (Attack) to run them through with spikes. Summons a giant iron maiden that slowly descends upon the shield prison. The iron maiden is filled with violent spikes and when the door closes, it deals deadly damage in most cases killing the target. While this is one of Naofumi's most powerful skills, it also consumes all of his SP when activated.
 * Blutopfer/Blood Sacrifice - Naofumi's blood is extracted from his body in a large quantity when using this ability, it then forms a bear trap-like shape under the intended enemy and repeatedly mashes them to death. Use of this technique has the unfortunate side effect of seriously wounding its own wielder, and cursing them by reducing their stats by 30% should they survive. For Naofumi however, his defense was not reduced. The curse can be healed with time, but the process can be accelerated by using purifying elements.
 * Megiddo Burst -
 * Self Curse -
 * Burning - Activated on close physical contact. The flames produced from this can cover a large range. This is no ordinary flame but a curse type flame that reduces healing effects. As its a curse based flame, holy type magic is needed to guard against it.
 * Dark Curse: Burning -
 * Dark Curse: Burning S -
 * Portal Shield - Allows the user and his party members the ability to teleport.
 * Meteor/Shooting Star Shield - A thin wall of light is created. It's a defensive barrier similar to the 「Air Strike Shield」 but it allows party members to pass through it. Its effective range is 5 meters centering around the user, its SP consumption is around 10% of the max, and has a cooldown time of 15 seconds. Certain shields and accessories can change its effects.
 * Bubble Shield - Surrounds the user in a bubble of air, extending the amount of time they can spend underwater. User must return to the surface so the skill can recharge.
 * Modify Bio Plant - An interface appears over a Bio Plant seed allowing Naofumi to spend magical power to change stats or add or subtract features to the seed changing what it will grow into when it's planted.
 * Spirit Turtle Shields - A series of shields unlocked by feeding various materials from the Spirit Turtle to the Shield.
 * Floating Shield - Creates a shield that floats and moves along the user.
 * Magic Snatch - Responds to a magic attack by firing a bubble at the enemy which drains them of magical power to replenish Naofumi's supply.
 * Energy Blast - A skill exclusive to the Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield. Shoots the Spirit Tortoise's Energy blast from the shield. Must be charged to 100% before firing.
 * Cook - All the food that Naofumi prepares is augmented with various subtle flavors that enhance upon and draw out the flavors of whatever meal he is preparing.

Magic
Naofumi has a natural affinity for healing and support magic.


 * Fast Heal - Works on a similar principle to Naofumi's health potions to quickly mend his own or another's injuries.
 * Fast Guard - Simple support-type magic which gives a small boost to the defense.
 * Aura - A spell that augments all of a person's stats that Naofumi learned while on the Cal Mira Archipelago by reading an inscription left for the shield Hero on a monument.
 * Liberation - A class of magic that exceeds driefach that is only possible for heroes by combining together elements of the Dragon Pulse, Hengen Musou and SP used by heroes. Dramatically empowers his other spells.

Hengen Musou
As mentioned above Naofumi has spent a considerable amount of time and effort on learning the principles of the Hengen Musou school of Martial arts. Though his shield cripples his offensive potential Naofumi has learned several defensive and counter-attack type techniques from constant sparring with Atla.


 * Wall - An invisible barrier composed of Ki that is inferior in terms of defense to Air Strike shield or Air Float Shield.
 * Collect - A technique that allows Naofumi to manipulate the Ki in front of him to nab projectiles out of the air including Bullets, Magic and Arrows.
 * Ball - All of the projectiles gathered together by Collect is condensed into a single package and tossed at the enemy with explosive ending results.

Weapon Accessories
The Legendary Weapons can be strengthened by equipping accessories on them. In the case of Naofumi's shield, lids can be affixed to the gem in the shield to add various effects.


 * Lid crafted by Elhart - After blocking a number of attacks, the lid shatters into pieces and a 3-meter barrier of light extends, similar to the shooting star/meteor shield. Once the barrier shatters, the pieces burst into flames similar to those of the Shield of Wrath II.
 * Lids Crafted by Naofumi - When the shooting star/meteor barrier shatters, some of the shards stay afloat in the air and shoot straight at enemies after a moment. When the shooting star/meteor barrier shatters, some of the shards turn into light and blind enemies after a moment.
