Although the range is only middling and the projectile speed is not high, it can "bite" barriers and its varying route is more difficult to defend or dodge. Because of this, Fate can use the spell to trick her opponents. Its power is also fairly powerful, as Fate uses it to great effect during her fights against Nanoha Takamachi. In addition, the energy blade can also explode at any time with the command phrase "Saber Blast". In The MOVIE 1st, the trigger code is "Saber Explode" instead.
