Everything in here is as we discussed, I believe - if there's anything remiss lemme know, Beth. Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it.
[ Ekabu Setsumei Amaji ]
-Eternal Faithful Servant, Fate Cutter Path through the Heavens
As the two-word release phrase is uttered, Setsumei Amaji’s blade blossoms into an explosion of light – a cacophony of various interpretations of a heavenly radiance. Thousands of different shades of the purest light radiate from Masato before the release is completed; the divine hues linger in the reflected sheen of objects before slowly fading to the Ban Kai of Masato’s Zanpakutou.
[ Form ]
The first thing the opponent will notice after the release is completed is that they appear to have been ripped from reality – around them, beyond the illuminesence of Ekabu Setsumei Amaji, is nothing but darkness. This is nothing more than an optical illusion created by the large amount of light being released by the new form of Setsumei Amaji. Anything beyond the illuminated area, a circle with a radius of 5 meters per 1k connection beyond Masato with a cap of 100 meters, appears to be complete darkness to an opponent within the area. Similarly, to an opponent on the outside, there seems to be a dome of light of similar radius. One can enter and exit this range at their own desire, but their eyes will need a good amount of time to adjust to the different light levels.
Setsumei Amaji’s blade loses both its material form and sword shape, taking the form of a spear crafted from a golden-tinged light. This weapon has ‘physical’ attributes comparable to that of any spear used in hand-held martial arts, most notably that of a hybrid between a qiang and a su yari, combining the flexibility of the former with a blade typical of the latter (though honed to an impossible sharpness). The tassel behind the blade has a considerably more golden nature than the rest of the weapon.
The spear itself is heavier than a normal spear, making it harder to control without a good deal of practice – Masato’s ability to use the spear is outlined by his ability to use the kai in general. When mastered the spear affords maneuverability and power nearly unparalleled – but mastering it is a difficult process, and the % effectiveness of the kai details Masato’s proficiency with the spear. When moved through the air, Ekabu Setsumei Amaji seems to paint a ‘trail’ of light that lingers for a half second that is nothing more than visual – whenever the blade cuts something, however, that area will have a mark of incandescence that will not fade until the Ban Kai is resealed.
The light emitted from this kai is that of the greatest order of the divine – and it is the form of Masato’s reiatsu. Terrible, pure, and unable to be re-created by any other means, it can pierce any darkness to some capacity. Though the kai’s release usually ends up nearly whitewashing a large area, the white hue does not impair Masato’s vision – instead, it enhances it. Whether illuminating a square mile at night or weakening the darkness, the Ban Kai’s illustrious nature affords Masato a raised amount of visibility.
[ Ability ]
Chaos is the score upon which Reality is written
With the release of Masato’s Ban Kai, the world around him becomes noticeably agitated – colors become harsh, sounds become more jarring, and any chaotic or flashy reaction is magnified. This is not the ability of Ekabu Setsumei Amaji, but instead a byproduct of its terrifying ability. This Ban Kai, formed not by Setsumei Amaji, but instead by Masato’s inhuman drive, allows for the thriving of Chaos.
Anything within the illuminated area, which is 5 meters for every 1k Connection from Masato with a maximum of 100 meters, experiences the feeling of increased ‘entropy’ – chaotic disorder. If chaos can happen, the chances of it happen are magnified (stones will roll for longer amounts of time, water may spontaneously steam, one will slip on mud easier, etc…). The true terror of this entropy, however, lies within Setsumei Amaji’s target – the opponent’s Zanpakutou.
Setsumei Amaji’s area of effect creates a large amount of chaos between Masato’s opponent and their Zanpakutou upon Masato’s command – abilities become random, uncontrollable and arbitrary for the opponent’s next turn. Reference details on how different kais are affected follow:
Ability Control Kai (Heraaminen Kirjokansi, Sokugin)
The ability of an ability- or control-based kai is made chaotic and uncontrollable – the user of the kai will lose control over some or all of its controlled substance.
Per-Hit Kai (Fuhen Taishokukan Seikan)
Some hits may count towards the per-hit counter and some hits may not – Ekabu Setsumei Amaji cannot ‘un-do’ previous hits.
Per-Turn Kai
The effect that turn is comprimised. A negative effect will never be applied.
Area of Effect Kai
The area of effect's border is affected - it will bend and warp into odd shapes with varying widths.
Form Change Only (Seikan)
Ekabu Setsumei Amaji has no effect on kai that only have a form change.
Kai Attacks
Ekabu Setsumei Amaji has no effect on kai attacks.
By comparing Masato’s current connection to the opponent’s, one gains an understanding for how effective Ekabu Setsumei Amaji’s disruptive effect will be. For every time that the opponent’s kai is affected, Masato expends 1000 Reiatsu. Masato can use this ability only a certain amount of times – starting with 2 uses, he gains another use per turn he gains in Ban Kai.
When Masato has mastered Ekabu Setsumei Amaji, he is able to use the effect indefinitely – however, any uses beyond those given by the earlier parameter require twice the normal cost.
[ Attack ]
Kyokujitsu ‘The Rising Sun’ – Focusing his light-colored reiatsu into his blade, Masato amplifies his own power with that of his Ban Kai and fires the intensely tempered light out of his blade. The speed of the attack reflects that which it is made out of – the light that the Ban Kai emits so easily reaches the opponent almost instantly. Kyokujitsu’s power and speed are devastating, but so is its cost. The light itself is mostly powered by the Ban Kai, but the cost of taming and refracting the light is incredibly taxing – though it depends on how much of Ekabu Setsumei Amaji’s power is used, the minimum cost is 15% of Masato’s reiatsu. This attack can be used a maximum of three times.
Netsutekishi ‘Heat Death’ – A counterattack usable only after Masato has cut the opponent’s body and the wound is illuminated; Netsutekishi is used when an opponent prepares to fire an energy attack. By forcing his energy into the illuminated wound remotely, paying the full cost of the enemy’s attack, Masato is able to ‘interrupt’ the energy flow in the opponent, scrambling the energy flow of the attack and ‘detonating’ the energy within the opponent’s body. This takes the form of a brilliant explosion of light from within the opponent’s body that does damage equal to the original attack’s power. This attack can be used twice.
