Demonic Language [Momo, Ranma]
RANMA GEKIRETSU
Why was it reverting back to its previous form?! What sorcery was this?! Ranma’s bulging eyes were fixated on that damn dummy now, intent to unveil Hinamori-sensei’s secret Kidō- fuck, was it Hadō or Bakudō- whatever she was using! But he saw nothing out of the ordinary – just waves of Spiritual Energy outlining the dummy until it was sufficiently repaired!
No fair! It was like Kaidō, but on an inanimate object! Like reversing time on a thing… wait, shit, maybe Ranma could do that with Hōkamaru… no, it only slows down things. Maybe its Bankai would be able to? Aww, he couldn’t wait to convince Hōkamaru to manifest in the outer world for him… a glorious day to behold.
So now… he was going to cast the same spell without the chant. Should be entirely possible, since he knew how it felt to cast Shakkahō, and… it was simple to imagine. It was a red flare, a ball of energy that manifested as red fire. He wasn’t an artist, but he was imaginative. “Got it. Shouldn’t take so loooooooooooooooo-“ Ranma spoke up cockily, his confidence taking a blow to the groin when the dummy was obliterated by Hinamori-sensei’s own, chant-less Shakkahō.
“… Fuck…”
Ah yes, classic profanity in the garden – Ranma could feel his soul getting heavier with guilt and karma. Better try this out before Hinamori-sensei would pinch him or anything. Red flare, red ball, red blast. Red, red, red, red, red, red, red- his brain began repeating that image over and over again. Such a linear spell. “Hadō #31: Shakkahō!”
And from his palm, an orb half the size of a cantaloupe shot out, notably dealing way less damage to the dummy than he was able to prior. “… Oh, wait, maybe I got to use both hands,” he corrected himself before trying again, balling his hands up, “Hadō #31: Shakkahō!” Thrusting both palms forward, he released another red ball of Spiritual Energy flaring up like a foxfire, but… it did the exact same thing-
Even he could see that it was weaker than before! “… Am… am I not using it enough?”

Demonic Language [Momo, Ranma]
MOMO HINAMORI
“Well done. That was a great effort.” Momo replied with a smile, nodding with approval. He was pretty good with the spell and the ex Lieutenant was sure that he could move on to chant skipping. It would be tougher but she had faith in her new student.
The target had taken quite the battering but if Ranma was paying close attention, he might just notice that it would eventually glow with energy, before regenerating back to the way it was before. An unusual use of kido but after all her years experimenting, the dark haired woman had come to understand that it truly was a matter of imagination and creativity, as far as using it were concerned. Honestly, she thought the academy might just be a little old fashioned. Still, it had its uses.
Giving him a few moments to recover, Momo would then continue with the lesson. “Now, I want you to repeat the same process but this time don’t utter the chant. Remember how the spell feels during casting and if it helps, visualise it in your mind as well. When you are ready, try with just the number and the name. Like this.”
Turning to the target, shaped like a white haired young Captain, Momo would simply raise a hand and point at it. “Hadō #31: Shakkahō!” The ball of flame would burst from her hand and soar towards the target, striking it directly and obliterating it completely, leaving nothing more than a charred remains behind. Again though, what was left would start to glow and soon enough, it would be ready for us again.
With that, she’d smirk up at Ranma and say. “All right. Your turn now.”

Demonic Language [Momo, Ranma]
RANMA GEKIRETSU
”’Scuse me, house-chan,” Ranma mumbled before entering Hinamori-sensei’s abode, already triggered by the fragrant smell of flowers nearby. He almost thought that Erica was here, too- wait, fuck, he should’ve invited Erica!!! She would’ve loved to see all these new spells too, he couldn’t just hog all the teachings and nuggets to himself! Bad Ranma!
S-Sorry, sorry, sorryyyyyyyyyy, Erica! I promise, I’ll take you with me next time!
Looking at the garden he was led to further made it clear how much he fumbled not taking Erica with him. She would’ve loved this place… yup, it’s a promise! He kinda just wanted to take a bottle and relax, lay on the grass and let the pleasant breeze carry his thoughts away… but he came here for a little bit of training, didn’t he?! So he could further expand his competences, right?! Just like Morikawa-sensei and Erica practiced day and night, he too needed much more… what could you call it, discipline?
At least, he needed much more than what he had escaped the Academy with. One step at a time, Ranma… just like Morikawa-sensei taught you.
“Oh, you got other gue- those aren’t guests,” Ranma commented, swiftly correcting himself once he realized that some of the practice targets on the fence were moving around as if alive! “H-How… wait, is that some Bakudō spell going on there? But… you’re not even- how- was it moving all this time? Did you just cast it? But I didn’t see you…”
He had to grab his head before it’d fall off his shoulders from overheating. Hinamori-sensei did something devious to make these targets move, and he hadn’t the patience to figure out here and now, neither did he have the deductive capabilities to hit the nail anyway.
“… Some funny-looking Hollows ya got here,” he joked about, poking some of the still targets that seemed to resemble the masked soul-eaters. He could’ve sworn that one of them looked like a floating eyeball, but he must’ve been fooling himself. Not to mention the two most charred ones… looked like Shinigami with Captain outfits. “… These aren’t real Captains, right? Who even are they?” he felt the need to ask, poking the small guy’s dumb face first, “Even I’m taller than this dude. Imagine that… and who’s the nerd with the glasses? Actually, you know what, nevermind…”
Almost ousted himself for forgetting what felt like history… of some sorts. Argh, listen, who cared?!?!?!!?
Okay, she gave the green lights to go all out, firstly demonstrating his best spell – with incantation. That… was a brainwrecker, for while Ranma liked Bakudō, he didn’t know that many spells in that category. Not nearly enough to justify calling himself a Bakudō specialist, not one bit. He’d tried out Enkōsen before, and… Sekienton, and Seki too. Ah, that sounded more like stuff for another day – let’s just stick to Hadō today, shall we?
“… Alrighto,” he finally signaled, lifting both hands up to his chest in order to channel his Reishi to the space between them. From there, a crimson light emerged, turning bright in the center and heating up until flares manifested. Now that I think about it, Shura kept launching these in our fight like it was nothing…
"Ye Lord, Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south," he chanted deeply, his chant visibly increasing the intensity of the flares amidst his palms that grew into an orb large enough to press against his hands, licking blood-red flames trickling between his fingers. Once the orb was the size of a cantaloupe, he declared: “Hadō #31: Shakkahō!”
The orb was fired forward towards the charred dummy with the glasses, nailing it right on the face and spreading a wave of fire out on impact. “Holy shit! That might just be my best Shakkahō yet…” he patted himself on his own shoulder, rubbing his nose in a little sense of pride. “So, whatcha think?”

Soup For The Soul
Hono Kaen
Artist: - Song: - Word Count: 338
Honestly, Hono's blood was already flowing, the woman really missed the rush she got from fighting like this. After all, cooking didn't exactly get her going quite like this. The thoughts of the fight flowed through her head, pushing every other thought to the side.
Hono had put quite a bit of force into that swing, the Shinigami would press into the clash as well, wanting to show Yuri just how much stronger physically she had gotten since their last bout. The last thing she wanted was to lose a hold like this. Though common sense in a fight would mean Yuri was gonna use this hold to her advantage.
"You think I'm gonna let something like that stop me? Come on... I'm stubborn..." She was starting to feel a bit of numbness and weakness. Thankfully the woman had the willpower to stay up. The second she felt the numbness she would push forward, and take a leap backward, putting distance once again between her and Yuri, attempting to escape from the feathers.
"If you want me to use my Shikai... you're gonna have to try harder than that!~ I don't want the fight to end so quickly..." She taunted the woman, a devious smirk on her face. Hono extended her left hand forward, hoping she put enough distance between her and Yuri as she focused. She knew Yuri was more skilled in Kido than her, hell Hono still had to use incantations, but Hono was gonna use what she had.
If Yuri was able to close the distance, she'd easily be able to stop Hono from chanting, if not she'd finish her chanting.
"Mask of blood and flesh, inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hadō #31! Shakkahō!"
Hono would cast the highest level Kido she possibly could, one she was finally able to cast confidently with the help she got from Mizu. A small red ball of flames formed in Hono's hand before it manifested as a beam directed at Yuri.

To Slay a Tyrant [AfriCatastrophe, Act IV]
Elyss Kishimoto
"I hope you're reborn, Asher. You're strong, and no doubt your next life will be just as strong. When we meet again, let's throw down."
Despite the situation, Elyss couldn't help herself, staring the Arrancar down as he fired his Cero. Of course, being so close to him, she felt her skin melt under the intense heat and pressure he emitted, but she couldn't stop here. If she let go, he'd be able to move, he'd be able to dodge Yuuto's attack, and he'd be able to keep going until they couldn't. It's now or ever, so why not put every last bit of herself and even more into her next attack.
""Ye lord!" She started, pulling her right arm back, feeling her energy piling through her body towards her hand. Muscles tightened as she forced every ounce of herself to move, defying her own incapability to grant Yuuto his one chance. She could feel her energy fighting her, tearing her muscles and popping veins, but she clenched her fist and gritted her teeth.
"Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south!"
Her clenched fist is slowly forced open as she chanted, a ball of red burning energy growing larger by the second as all of her Reiatsu is given form, a gift that none other but herself could give Asher. Even as she found herself tearing apart, she put on a smile, a deranged flashing of teeth like none other before she clenched her fist and popped her own Kido spell around her fingers, causing it to spill and encompass her fist, that energy spiraling as she thrusted herself around Asher to his front.
"Hadō #31. Shakkahō!"
She punched, swinging her arm wildly for his face. She didn't care which mouth she hit, and she didn't care as she completely annihilated her own arm as she punched through one of his Cero, literally forcing his own energy to bend around her flaming fist, ascending the power of her own strength by pushing his own attack and her fist into his open maw. She didn't care if Yuuto took her arm off with his attack. She didn't care if he cut right through her entire body.
The thrill of putting it all on the line like this for no other reason but a good fight, what other reason is there to do something like this? She could hardly even think about protecting the world, but she knew that at the end, she's either a hero or a failure.

To Slay a Tyrant [AfriCatastrophe, Act IV]
Elyss Kishimoto
He didn't like her striking his back. Elyss doesn't have any expression on her face to show, but her eyes held enough determination to at least share her warrior spirit with Asher. They're both focused on this single interaction after all, but he has a weapon and she doesn't.
It's not the first time Elyss has tussled with armed combatants, so she found it easy to maneuver herself. Dodging wasn't an option for her, so she raised her left arm, watching his blade begin digging into her skin. She didn't show any surprise when she noticed that edge digging through her natural defenses, but she quickly countered by slamming the palm of her free hand into the edge of his Zanpakuto. Energy leaking from her palm, she dulled his advance as she felt his momentum turn her.
Her grip tightened then as she pushed against him, grabbing his katana. Yuuto'd come then, doing what he desired, but Asher would also have to worry about Elyss' glowing grip.
"Hadō #31: Shakkahō," She chanted like before, an explosion happening between the two that'd send her launched backwards towards the ground and maybe leave Asher open for Yuuto to finish his assault.

To Slay a Tyrant [AfriCatastrophe, Act IV]
Elyss Kishimoto
Hmm...
She didn't say anything else, tilting her head as her eyes looked up towards the mass of energy slicing its way to the two Captains. It was a simple matter to move out the way, but Yuuto had opted to face Asher head-on than to reposition himself. It was obvious that he lacked the strength to stave off his opponent, but Elyss had faith in Yuuto's speed.
Faith alone though...
It's sometimes best to rely on statistics than belief, and the unsure answer of if he could win lingered in Elyss' mind. Both of them have released, but Yuuto's not getting anywhere close to coming out on top. Fighting integrity or friendship: in the end, Elyss only grumbled at the idea that she'd never face Asher alone. Despite herself, he looked fun.
"Hadō #31: Shakkahō," Elyss muttered, preparing the spell in her hand.
As the two traded blows, she took a spot into the sky to the side, pointing her palm downward. Pouring what she can into it, she took aim at Asher and let loose the Kido while Yuuto went on the offensive. Her aim is to slow down the Arrancar do that Yuuto can land a fulfilling hit. Arrancar lack the regenerative abilities of Hollow, so unlike last time, any damage is going to stick.

Shizuka Hibiki: Equipment, Zanjutsu, and Techniques [Ready]
EQUIPMENT INCOMING
I. Equipment Information
Spiritually Cauterized Holistic Incantations as Symbolized Markings/S.C.H.I.S.M/schisms are ready-to-use instant cast Kido, cauterized below the surface of the skin, with an appearance similar to a tattoo. Weaker than true Kido, a schism makes up for lack of power with greater utility, mainly in it’s instant casting and capability to be used even when bound by Sekkiseki (though at a drastically reduced power), since the Kido is already primed and does not require more than a pulse of Reiryoku internally to activate.
» Name: Spiritually Cauterized Holistic Incantations as Symbolized Markings/S.C.H.I.S.M/schisms
» Description: Schisms are a composite of a Kido's incantation in the form of a symbol that efficiently correlates it's spiritual flow. This symbol is then spiritually branded internally by the user, just below the outer layers of skin. If successful, the schism is able to store a percentage of Reiryoku, to be activated at a later date, in the form of the Kido it represents.
» Effect: By spiritually imprinting a schism onto oneself, the user is granted capability to instant-cast the specific Kido it corresponds to, similar to skipping the incantation when casting Kido normally. The benefit is the instant casting, and the fact that the schism stores Reiryoku, eliminating the need of exhausting the spirit as a normal casting would. The downsides are the lower level of power a schism can generate (1/3 of a normal Kido, with incantation), and that the schism can only be cast over/from the area it is branded, meaning a schism on a palm can only be cast from that palm, on a foot only from that foot, etc.
For equipment page only. Do not put this in your application.
» Relevant Link: Shizuka's Application
» Obtained From: self created, current schisms applied:
- Kido Functions:
- Seki (斥, Repulse), The practitioner generates an orb of light blue energy, which not only blocks physical attacks but repels whatever strikes it.
Bakudō #81. Dankū (斷空, Splitting Void; Viz “Airtight”) A defensive wall Is created to protect against an enemy’s attack. It can stop Kidō-based attacks with power up to level 89, if the practitioner and attacker are of the same or similar level.
Hadō #1. Shō (衝, Thrust) the practitioner points at their target with their index finger, a small amount of energy is dispelled from the tip of the index finger with enough force to thrust a considerable amount of kinetic force at a target, which is pushed back a few feet from the practitioner.
Hadō #31. Shakkahō (赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon; Viz "Red Flame Cannon") The practitioner generates and fires an orb of crimson red energy on his/her palm or finger. The orb can be small, medium, or large, depending on the level of power being used. The destructive power released by the blast can vary between a simple explosion to a pillar of energy, and in both instances, the spell causes concussive as well as burn damage
The symbols for Seki are on the palm of each hand and sole of both feet.
Danku, is located directly on the ankle joint, on the top of each foot.
The symbol Sho Is carefully inlaid over the space between the first and second knuckle joint of each hand, so that with a closed his fist, the portion a punch would make contact with would have the symbol clearly visible.
Shakkaho is on each elbow.
The only Kaido symbol he has is an overly large one centered on his solar plexus, that is known to stop bleeding, but not heal the actual injury.
» Accessibility: Any being, living or not, capable of manipulating their spiritual energy is capable of using a schism, provided they know or have the requisite incantation and enough spiritual energy to power it without killing themselves. It is readily available for all Shinigami, the information disseminated on the process to create and apply each currently known symbol.
I. Additional Information
- ”SCHISM Limits”:
- A schism is a further weakened version of incantationless kido, having only 1/3 of its maximum power. There is a limit to the number of different schisms one body can handle and maintain, and a limit to the number of castings a fully charged schism can manage:
1 Full powered casting fully depletes the schism
2 half powered castings will deplete the schism fully
5 weak castings are available for Vice Captain class and above
4 weak castings are available for Lieutenants
3 weak castings are available for all below Lieutenant level
Once depleted, it takes time and focus to recharge a schism,. Below Lieutenant, the schism cannot be recharged in the same thread. Lieutenants require 4 posts to recharge, Vice captains 2, and a captain and above can recharge in 1 post, at the cost of 1/5 of their current spiritual energy for the remainder of the thread. Exceptions to all above apply for threads that are multi-hour/multi-day.
Lastly, the number of schisms one individual can have is based on their spirit. Below Lieutenant, only 5 different schisms. Lieutenants can manage 7, Vice captains 8, and Captains and above, 10. For all, the hard limit of multiples of the same schism is 5. I.e. a captain can have 10 schisms, and 5 each of those 10.
- ”Creating/Applying a SCHISM:
The process of creating a schism is simultaneously simple and incredibly complex. It begins by establishing a symbol that corresponds to the ‘flow’ of the Kido intended to be used. The symbol’s structure should maximize the flow of the users Reiryoku through it, and for those not well versed in spiritual control, without mathematical or machined assistance, this can prove a monumental task, as one small slip-up could have catastrophic results, up to loss of limb or even damage to the Reiryoku channels. Tests are conducted on standard containers to ensure safety prior to application
Once established, the incantation is carefully inlaid into the same symbol. For the last step, the individual intending to apply the schism must circulate their Reiryoku precisely into the shape of the symbol, incantation included. As the Reiryoku circulates in the shape of the symbol, the user pushes the Reiryoku to the surface of the skin, just before the Reiryoku breaks the skin. The user pushes more and more Reiryoku into the symbol, until the schism sets, the Reiryoku heating up to physically cauterize. In most cases, this is signified by the schism no longer accepting the Reiryoku, or in cases like Shizuka’s, they bottom out of Reiryoku entirely.
Of note, the symbol for a specific Kido has the same base structure for every person, but due to everyone’s individual spiritual signature, there will be slight differences. For example, if a Kido’s symbol is a star, one person may have a star’s outline, another may have a pentagram, and another still may have a stylized star, all based on the most efficient flow of that individual’s Reiryoku.

EQUIPMENT INCOMING
I. Equipment Information
Sekkiseki Bandages are simple cloth bandages, interwoven with ground Sekkiseki dust. While intended as an aid for a medical condition, the Sekkiseki has the added bonus of increasing the tensile strength of the bandages themselves, as well as a very minor dampening effect on the strength of Spiritually based attacks and phenomena that make contact.
» Name: Sekkiseki Bandages
» Description: A full-body covering of grey-hued, simple cloth bandages, interwoven with ground Sekkiseki dust. They were designed as a mechanism to allow Shizuka to keep his constantly leaking Reiryoku contained.
» Effect: The bandages prevent Shizuka's Reiryoku from escaping, a medical condition that resulted from his spiritual damage. While there is enough Sekkiseki woven into the bandages to halt the ambient Reiryoku escaping, it is not enough to prevent Shizuka, or any other user, from pushing their Reiryoku through in order to cast Kido, etc, though it does require more effort and use of spiritual energy than usual. They have the added benefit of reducing the efficacy of incoming spiritual attacks, such as Kido or Reiatsu, to a very minor degree, and the Sekkiseki woven into them increases the tensile strength, making it about as strong as thin leather armor.
For equipment page only. Do not put this in your application.
» Relevant Link: Shizuka's Application
» Obtained From: Kira Hibiki, Shizuka's adopted older sister, commissioned the bandages custom made.
» Accessibility: Available for anyone to obtain, recreate, and use.
I. Additional Information
While no one else is known to have them currently, they are readily available for anyone, as their creation is simple. In most cases, usage would be a hindrance, but the application can be used for many purposes, including, but not limited to: training in Reiryoku control and application, with increasing difficulty levels based on the amount of Sekkiseki woven in. Other applications include creating clothing that would block a spiritual signature, if one so chose to have the garments made, making the application useful for stealth missions.
Shizuka maintains a large stockpile of bandages and Sekkiseki dust, as well as pre-made bandages, in order to replace them as they wear, are damaged, or have been rendered either unsanitary or unserviceable.

Leather Chest Piece – a simple, sleeveless leather chest piece, with no additional special features.» Name: Leather Chestpiece
» Description: a simple chestpiece of thick leather, with no special characteristics. It is worn over Shizuka’s bandages and his long sleeved compression type shirt, and under all other clothing.
» Effect: This equipment is only an added piece of protection, large enough to cover vital organs. The leather is thick enough to prevent easy slicing, but is not impervious to piercing or thrusting blades, and only blunts impact of concussive force.

I. Equipment Information
Shizuka's personal Zanjutsu style, still in its infancy.
» Name: Dervish
» Description: The unique style of Zanjutsu developed by Shizuka, tailored to his strengths and limits. There are 5 forms, referred to as Dances, and applicable techniques for each form.
» Effect: This Zanjutsu incorporates movement techniques, offensive and defensive maneuvers, and technical skills/ttechniquesmeant for utility to create a versatile and adaptive style of fighting that is tailored to Shizuka's specific strengths and skillset. The style is designed so that it can be used in hand-to-hand combat as well as swordplay.
For equipment page only. Do not put this in your application.
» Relevant Link: Shizuka's Application
» Obtained From: Self-Taught, personal creation
» Accessibility: As a personal style, currently only used/available to Shizuka, but it’s adaptive nature allows it to be learned or tailored to other individuals, should they be taught the basics by Shizuka, or the movements specifically studied.
I. Additional Information
When using ranged attacks, Shizuka relies on the Sekkiseki bandages, and has roughly a 20-foot radius of range with his arms fully extended. The bandages for his blades are wound separately from the bandages on his body, and in such a way to allow minor adjustments to trajectory based on the movements of his hands. I.e., a straight piercing throw can be altered to a slice, a throw aimed at an arm can be altered to the body, etc.
- ”Dervish Forms:
Before being able to use a Dance, he must first establish a battle rhythm- a pace at which his body and movements will synergize with the target. Failure to establish a battle rhythm results in weakened or entirely unusable Dance forms. A battle rhythm takes five non-consecutive combat posts to establish, or three consecutive combat posts, per thread.- ”First Dance – Spider’s Waltz:
Characterized by fast turns, spins, and short, controlled steps, this technique is most effective when the target is in an open space, allowing Shizuka better movement around them to attack. Utilized at mid-range, about 5-10 feet from the target, the goal is to distract by an onslaught of throws, aiming to strike if possible, but mainly maneuvering to intercept each blade back in his hand while in flight, so that the bandages stay adrift around the target. Once appropriately encircled, Shizuka then draws the bandages taught, aiming to ensnare, entangle, or otherwise incapacitate the target either fully, or by targeted limbs. The modified version of this Dance is for melee range, where Shizuka forgoes ensnaring and aims for consecutive and rapid attacks.
- ”Second Dance – Serpent’s Merengue:
Strictly a movement technique, this uses exaggerated footwork movements of traditional Merengue, especially the drag leg movements. Shizuka utilizes this Dance to close with the target. The largest and most notable movements are in the legs and arms, while the core stays tightened. By taking the principles of Shunpo – covering the maximum distance with the fewest steps possible – Shizuka moves in an erratic weaving pattern to narrow the space between himself and the target, before he moves into another Dance to engage.
- ”Third Dance – Jaguar’s Capoiera”:
- This Dance is an offensive one that aims to overwhelm the target with continued fluid motion, one movement feeding into the next and each response to the target’s actions dictating the next move in the spur of the moment.
- ”Fourth Dance – Octopus’ Trance:
This is a combination movement and defensive Dance, typically used to aid in Shizuka subconsciously learning the patterns and movements of a target that outclasses him, by entering into a trancelike state. It is characterized and made possible due to Shi’s heightened kinesthesia, moving just enough for attacks to slide by, mere millimeters from actual contact. The danger in this technique is the closeness Shizuka has to come to actually being hit. Severe damage and contact takes him out of the trance and his battle rhythm, forcing him to reestablish a battle rhythm in order to utilize his Dance forms effectively again. It takes 3 consecutive combat related posts to consider this Dance ‘complete’.
- ”Fifth Dance – Crow’s Rave:
This Dance is only able to be used after the Fourth Dance has been completed. After completion of the Octopus’ Trance, Still maintaining a battle trance, Shi abandons almost all defensive measures, instead opting for pure aggression and attack, as fast and as hard as possible, while blending the previous Dances together seamlessly, to the point the target would feel as if they’re being attacked by a full murder of crows, much as the namesake suggests. This is a last resort technique, as it draws out all remaining strength Shizuka has, and rapidly saps his stamina. He is limited to only two minutes (approximately two posts) of full capacity usage. After two minutes, if he tries to maintain the technique, he maintains his speed and ferocity, but his strength is halved from Its standard strength (i.e. half as strong as he would be without the enhancement) during the third post, and all capabilities continue to halve, to include speed, for each consecutive post, up to 5 total posts. After a fifth post of usage, Shizuka’s body fails him, and he is rendered completely immobile and/or unconscious.
EQUIPMENT INCOMINGI. Equipment InformationSpiritual Echolocation is a technique that allows those without sight to have a measure of modified vision, in a sense
» Name: Spiritual Echolocation
» Description: Provides a mechanism for blind or sightless individuals to visualize their surroundings using spiritual energy.
» Effect: Using fine-tuned Spiritual control, the user expands a sphere around themselves with fast pulses of spiritual energy then pulls those pulses of energy back into their spirit once they reach a certain range, based on their spiritual power, and they repeat this process of pulse and reabsorb. This creates an unbroken cycle, with an approximate millisecond delay, of spiritual energy that surrounds the user. When objects or persons enter into the control range of the technique, the spiritual ‘waves' break against them, creating an imprint of the approximate size, shape, distance, etc of the object, allowing the user to identify what, where, and, in familiar cases, who is within their control range.

This technique requires immense amounts of practice, and is not instantly of viable use, as the user must become familiar with the ‘imprints' that objects create, i.e. a basketball and a soccer ball would seem the same initially, but with more practice, the subtleties in their shapes (hexagonal patterns etched in the soccer ball vs the stripes pressed on a basketball) would become more distinct and recognizable.
The initial use of this technique can prove taxing, but eventually one can learn to minimize the amount of spiritual energy going into it, making the pulse-reabsorption almost negligible in terms utilizing the spirit.
Lastly, one can decrease the range of this technique, or cease it completely, but they cannot go past their control range until their spirit has grown strong enough to accommodate an increase.END OF CREATION
EQUIPMENT INCOMINGI. Equipment InformationSpiritual Echolocation is a technique that allows those without sight to have a measure of modified vision, in a sense
» Name: Spiritual Echolocation
» Description: Provides a mechanism for blind or sightless individuals to visualize their surroundings using spiritual energy.
» Effect: Using fine-tuned Spiritual control, the user expands a sphere around themselves with fast pulses of spiritual energy then pulls those pulses of energy back into their spirit once they reach a certain range, based on their spiritual power, and they repeat this process of pulse and reabsorb. This creates an unbroken cycle, with an approximate millisecond delay, of spiritual energy that surrounds the user. When objects or persons enter into the control range of the technique, the spiritual ‘waves' break against them, creating an imprint of the approximate size, shape, distance, etc of the object, allowing the user to identify what, where, and, in familiar cases, who is within their control range.

One Plus Two Equals Three [Erika, Mizu]
ERIKA MASAMUNE | VICE CAPTAIN
"Hadō #31: Shakkahou ."
She uttered in unison with Mizu's own declaration, though the red flames flew from her free hand to wrap around the two of them. Red and yellow became orange before dissipating to leave a black circle around them. Erika had more than just sword tricks up her sleeve so she'd be happy to take advantage of her immense pool of reiryoku to show her opponent that it'd take more than kidou to best her.
