[CC] The Path of Enlightenment

[Shady Doctor]

I watched as Sylar observed his new token of completion and nodded at him, signalling the fact that i noticed his growth.

Now, we move on to the more practical points of training

I grab a scroll from my tool pouch, specifically the exact same scroll Amaimon had given me at this point of my training.

You see, now that you can perceive the Genki, you'll be able to persuade them to do your bidding. We'll start off with the basic form of a Genki, which is known as Kūki no Yōna. This is a base form of ethereal energy to be exact. Something not many people could ever perceive. Now. I'd like you to open the scroll, take in the information, and give me a full analysis on what you understand about this. Once you've given a thorough analysis, i simply want you to persuade a generic Genki to do what you please...

I snap my fingers, having hundreds and hundreds of Genki appear around the terrain, all of them unique and different in their own way, yet still generic in a sense...

Of course, if you don't understand something within the confines of the scroll, speak up and I'll fill you in.

(Shojun no Hel) Δ Hel's Alignment
Rank: C-A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 15-30
Damage Points: 30-60
Description: Shojun no Hel is perhaps the most essential technique throughout the House's epitome of techniques. The jutsu is based on the use of the generic Genki which whom traverse between the Pure and Impure Realms, a.k.a into our 'dimension' per say. Through the convinction of the user, and a sacrifical portion of chakra, depending on the strength of the Genki, and the Rank within the House of the user, they will forcefully be able to persuade the Genki to do their bidding. Now this can be used in a various amount of ways, essentially by bending the savage spirit in it's else deformed mass of ethereal spiritual energy, the user is capable of forming 'constructs' of ethereal energy throughout the field through hand motions or else body movements. These constructs carries a certain colour of Kūki no Yōna depending on the user, upon materilizing in the desired area of the user's choice. Ontop of that, the contructs are either flame-like or solid in the appearence, thus adding for verstality. Once the sacrfice have been made the user can freely without further payment manipulate the Genki, with the only cost being spending a move. Being hit by a Genki will either do nothing (if the spirit decides to not take a tangible form), or produce kinetic, physical damage (if he takes physical form). In this case, the Genki still has the ability to select which matter he will interact with, though that is not true for energies, as per the clan description.
Note: only one spirit can be "controlled" at any given moment.

The jutsu is based on the use of the generic Genki which whom traverse between the Pure and Impure Realms, a.k.a into our 'dimension' per say.

Sylar suddenly feels intimidated as a multitude of Genki appear. However, drawing from his training earlier he closes his eyes and focuses his emotions. He remembered that he had heard somewhere that to rule others you need to appear dominant and unwavering in will. He knew this would be somewhat arrogant of him but it was needed at a time like this.

He opens his eyes, expressionless and speaks in a rather authoritative tone.

"Servants of the Divine, lend me your strength! Upon my spirit's sacrifice, do mine bidding!"

Channeling his chakra to his hands, he tethers it to a Genki before him. Performing a handmotion, he directs the Genki to his side to "transform into a golden staff like that of the Sage of the Six Paths. Using his connection with the spirit, he wills it to solidify and gain a physical form. Sylar had to fight back any feeling of indecision and doubt. He felt if the Genki felt it, it would either attack him or leave him. He felt a rather nostalgic feeling while tethered to the spirit.

"So...was that correct? I understand this better because you answered my questions at the start of our lesson so this is just me applying what I understood."

Good, good. Remember though, these beings have no form of chakra within them, thus making them unperceiveable to even chakra sensors. The way it works is similar to a Summoning technique. You'd sacrifice a portion of chakra to them, which they'd consume, then dispose of, leaving only the spiritual aspects of what you sacrifice. Now, with that out of the way. Tell me numerous pros and cons about this particular ability. There's plenty to point out on both sides, so don't hold back my friend.

"These spirits, though crude in matter, appear to be quite challenging to control especially if your emotions aren't authorative. Reminds me of a story I used to hear about these runes that held the powers of nature. They were sentient though their power could only be realized through human hosts. If their host's will was weaker they would control them until they could become stronger.

I assume like that story that if your emotions or conviction(s) are...unsatisfactory...their effectiveness and power is weakened. Aside from that it seems that spirits can be fickle. If they want to be controlled they will allow it otherwise it may cost more chakra to get the desired results you seek. One of the drawbacks I can see based on what I read is that you can only control one entity at a time which is a shame as a spirit shadow clone type of attack would have been intriguing to use.

Hmm...

(keeps reading)

What you said is different from what I read. It says here I transform the genki into a construct but the way you told me, the genki devours my chakra sacrifice and the spiritual remnant of it is what I end up utilizing. So which is it?

Anyways, it seems that energies has an effect on these genki and/or the constructs they "transform" into. I would assume these energies refers to fire and lightning elements possibly others? Is that only when they take physical form or does that affect their spiritual form as well?

One thing I am curious about though is what use is a Genki if it doesn't take a physical form? Not to throw shade or anything just curious. Want to know what other uses they have."

Ahh i see you've misinterpreted what i was saying. Yes you control the Genki, but in order to gain control you give them your chakra, but they dispose of it, keeping the spiritual aspect inside of them. This is purely to summon the from the pure realm into the impure realm (the physical world). You don't utilize the spirit remnants they keep. They simply feed off of that, which is why they'll allow you to control them.

Yes you are correct on the energy bit. Lightning, wind, fire, raw chakra, biju chakra, pure dark release chakra etc. Would affect them whether you make them physical or not. This doesn't stand for genki not being manipulated by a technique though, which leads me back to what i just explained. At all times, you're perceiving Genki that are still in the pure realm, but once you give them the chakra sacrifice, you'll be summoning them into our physical world aka the impure realm. Once they are in our physical realm, they'd be able to get affected by energies. Hopefully i cleared that up.

What use are they when they don't take a physical form? I'm guessing you're speaking on this piece of information: "Being hit by a Genki will either do nothing (if the spirit decides to not take a tangible form), or produce kinetic, physical damage (if he takes physical form). In this case, the Genki still has the ability to select which matter he will interact with, though that is not true for energies"

Put it like this. That staff you have. If you throw it at me right now and i make an earth wall, a water wall and a steel wall. You can choose to make the spear not interact with those physical objects, in which it would act as a "ghost", passing through them as if they aren't there. Basically you can pick and choose what physical objects your Genki do and don't interact with.

OOC: Oh so it's kinda like Obito's phasing migration technique? Neat-o. *_*

"My, my that is quite a treat. Now I understand it much better. I appreciate you taking your time to do that.

The only question I have left, concerning this technique, is at what speed can all this be achieved especially when compared to the EIG?"

Sylar wipes the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He then rolls up his sleeves indicating he was ready for more work.

"Aside from that, I'm good to go to what's next unless you feel I missed something."

 

[El Alucard]

Can I continue here or should I just make a new thread, seeing as I'm a little behind and all ?

Simple. It moves at your base speeds. Nothing more, nothing less. Now we'll move on to the next technique available to you at your current rank. Well, in all actuality you'll only be learning half of the technique.

I'd step back, draw a small portion of blood from my finger then do the summoning process to call forth a human sized snake, all black in Color with a purple belly and gleaming purple eyes. Once the snake appeared, he'd excrete from his mouth a large scroll that plopped onto the ground in between you and i.

Thank you Voon.. You can head back to Ryuchi for a while. The scroll will stay with me for the time being.

The snake would then disperse, reversing himself back to its home. With the scroll between us, I'd kick it a bit so that it would unravel, though it only opened halfway, simply revealing a portion of the technique.

Go ahead and look over it. Try it out for yourself, with a basic Genki of course. Once you've performed it, go ahead and ask any questions that come to your mind and I'll do a bit of explaining at that point. ..

(Búri no Yuigon) Δ Testament of Búri

Spoiler

Rank: B-A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20-30(-5/-10 per turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Búri no Yugion is technique which is based on the feat of Possession, be it partial or fullbody infusions. The overall infusion process involves the Genki inhabiting the same vessel as the user, wethever or it be fullbody nor only partial. Upon entering the body of a living shell, the Genki would cause a constant chakra spikes throughout the user's system for a turn. This is to create complete unity within the two parties, clearing the user of any foreign chakra-based influx in their system, despite rank and power. Normally this would cause the inability to mold chakra after the emergence and for the rest of the turn. However upon reaching a certain height of mastery within the art(Katsuryoku Pledged and above) one completely nullify said side-effect. This goes for both infusions.
Partial B-ranked | Partial infusion is not the spirit taking over the body of the user but lending their powers to him/her to be used in battle which is mainly a supplementary use. Supplementary uses include a variety of things however, for a partial infusion only one can be used at a time, while with a fullbody infusion all will be available. These abilities are more accurately defined below and both runs passively upon infusion.
Precognition, which literally means acquiring knowledge. Now this is done by other means, than studying a book or listening to a presentation. While by normal means an organisim can only extract information from past to present, precognition does the same, however from the time, that has yet to come. While under the effects given by the Genki, the vessel is enabled to see into the future. In other words, the vessel is giving himself the capability to view all possibly outcomes, and the ability to change the to-be happenings, with another act than the one told in the vision. Lasts one turn, and can only be used 3 times during partial infusions. Can be used 5 times during fullbody infusions.
Aura Sensing, is the ability to view a person (Be it within range of the user's vision or not), however not only their exterior but their interior as well. People oft carry a demeanor around their entity, which becomes visible upon use of this supplementary ability. This interior exudes from the owner which is clad around their entity as a transparent shroud. Depending on the colour, size and aggressiveness in the shroud, the user is able to determine their emotions, such as love, anxiety, excitement, hate, stress, dizzyness, etc. and thereby oft their actions as well. Lasts untill deactivated.
Fullbody A-ranked | This infusion, is where the spirit and host shares one mind. A perfect unity. However, spirits are, if their host is unconscious, able to maintain themselves in control of the shell(The user) and fight in their stead by forcefully manipulating it’s movements accordingly to it’s will, even if its gravely wounded. When completely fused, the user and spirit share their complete memory and knowledge with each other. While fused, genjutsu(besides doujutsu genjutsu) are ineffective against the user.
While under the influence of Testament of Búri, the user gains abilities (Much as Jorth's Personification) that corresponds to their spirit. Both infusions are both with a certain risk. Extended usages may cause the user to become exhausted, and or run low on chakra, as the spirits will be sheltering within the host’s body, and feed on the energies, be it foreign or not.
Both infusion of course carry limitations in their uses, however depends and varies from rank to rank within the art of the House. An outline, and usage for the generic spirits roaming the fields;
Partial uses per battle: Katsuryoku Apprentice (1) Katsuryoku Initiate (2), Katsuryoku Pledged (3), Katsuryoku Elder (4), Katsuryoku Voice (5).
Fullbody per battle duration: Katsuryoku Initiate (1), Katsuryoku Pledged (2), Katsuryoku Elder (4), Katsuryoku Voice (5). Can only be used twice per battle.
These of course also counts for submitted techniques, unless it specifically is bounded by other restrictions given in submission in question.
