Description:
Kaiton Saihou - Hadou #88, 5,700 Reiatsu
The fastest Hadou spell ever created, and also one of the newest. Kaiton Saihou ("Ashen Primeval Chaos, Disaster Cannon") is unique in that its summoned program shape is modeled like a fist-sized sphere: once the caster recites the incantation or calls forth Kaiton Saihou's designation, the Kidouryoku consumed to fuel this Hadou will collect and compress into that single receptacle, usually placed directly in front of the caster or where he or she aims with an exposed palm. This collection process is a harrowingly intense one, such that the gathering Kidouryoku, which is normally invisible, condenses with such activity that it becomes visible in the form of a blindingly white haze congregating into a single point in space, after which it will appear as though it were a miniature, floating quasar. The immense condensation of energy serves not only to escalate the impact power of the spell itself, but also to instantaneously accelerate the resulting blast to unheard-of speeds.
The "charging" period requires two to three seconds, regardless of the user's skill level, during which (accompanied by the collecting haze) a shrieking cacophony like that of a revving jet engine will occur... so much that even the caster's recitation or designation of the Hadou will be completely muffled out. After the energy is completely gathered, it will remain in its "silent" state for a maximum of five seconds. The caster may aim and release the Hadou spell at any time during those five seconds, but failure to do so will result in a cataclysmic fragmentation of the spell that may critically wound whoever is caught in the tumultuous explosion.
Once the caster decides to fire the Hadou, a visible sonic boom will erupt in its wake: the force of the shell release is enough to break the sound barrier. The resultant projectile fires off in a straight path, appearing as a blinding, white orb the size of a cannonball, and due to its intense composition, which causes the air flowing around it to ignite in ivory flames, the projectile itself looks like a blurring streak, and may trick observers into thinking the spell itself has the form of a laser. However, the peculiar nature of the blast lies not only in its lightning-strike appearance, but in its velocity. By far, Kaiton Saihou is the fastest Hadou, capable of reaching supersonic speeds (as determined by the user's current Kidou) and causing damage easily equivalent to Hadou spells numbered in the 90's. The blurring projectile itself travels for miles upon miles without diverging even a degree from its straight path, much like a laser beam. Upon impact with the target or an obstruction, Kaiton Saihou will erupt into a fierce, incinerating flare the size of a large house that generates a deafening boom and causes most types of matter caught within its blast to degenerate into ash. The percussive force of the explosion is so great, given the velocity of the spell itself, that it is not uncommon for targets to be utterly blown away by scores of meters.
Unlike other Kidou spells, however, Kaiton Saihou's cost cannot be bypassed. Cost reductions cannot be applied to this spell, as it specifically needs its listed amount of Reiatsu for optimum results. However, given the caster's base Kidou stat, it is possible to increase the output power of the spell itself (for instance, with at least 28,500 Kidou, being able to normally reduce the cost of this spell by 50% will not result in the cost reduction, but rather a power increase of +50% instead). It should be noted, however, that any other skill that modifies the cost of Kidou cannot be applied to this particular spell, even if it increases its power in the same vein. Therefore, such skills as Toukihaku or Senmonka will prove ineffective in augmenting Kaiton Saihou.
Because of its relative youth compared to many other Kidou spells, Kaiton Saihou can only be learned and utilized by members of the Gotei 13 and its branching organizations (Kidoushuu, Onmitsu Kidou, etc.).
