Abilities

He can call it to himself at will, and it will travel at incredible speeds through the sky to reach him.

The release is accompanied by an incredible wave of light and heat, illuminating the night sky, causing onlookers to mistake it for the sun itself.
 * Rhitta's special ability absorbs and stores the massive amount of heat that Excanor radiates as his power increases with the rising of the sun. This energy can he released at will in the form of a massive and highly destructive energy blast.
