| Shinigami: Kidō Techniques |
[PTab=Overview]
Kidō (鬼道, Demon/Spirit Way; Viz "Demon Arts") is an advanced form of spellcasting, and is one of the four combat arts taught to all shinigami, collectively known as Zankensoki. Kidō spells channel a shinigami's Reiryoku (霊力, Spiritual Power) to create a variety of magical effects that fall into three main categories: Hadō; Bakudō; and Kaidō. Kidō spells are triggered by an incantation, however most Kidō experts have enough skill to forgo the incantation with many (or all) of their spells. The vast majority of Kidō spells are graded on a scale from 1 to 99, spells of the latter being the most powerful, and the most difficult to perform. The strength and intensity of a Kidō spell is determined by the Power attribute of the user, with even the lowest-level spells having devastating effect when cast by a character with strong Power. |
[PTab=Incantations]
Incantation Classes While all Kidō spells require an incanatation, experts in the art of Kidō can modify if, and how they use a spell's incantation. Your Rank in the Kidō [Exclusive Skill] determines if you are capable of using one of the following incantation classes with any given spell (see mechanics). Eishōhaki (詠唱破棄, Incantation Abandonment; Viz "Destruction Chant") You forgo the use of a spoken incantation in order to cast a spell more swiftly, albeit at reduced Rank.
Nijū Eishō (二重詠唱, Twofold Incantation; Viz "Double Destruction Chant") You weave the incantations of two separate Kidō together to save time, and confuse your opponent. This Incantation Class is only available to characters whose skill in the Kidō [Exclusive] skill is at least S-Rank (or above).
Kōjutsu Eishō (後述詠唱, Spoken-After Incantation) You mastery of Kidō allows you to incite a spell's incantation after the fact, in order to empower the spell. This Incantation Class is only available to characters whose skill in the Kidō [Exclusive] skill is at least SS-Rank (or above).

[PTab=Kidō (Skill)]
Kidō [Exclusive Skill] This skill is unique to Shinigami, and cannot be taught to others. A character's Rank in this skill determines your proficiency and aptitude when casting Kidō spells. Shinigami who have yet to learn this skill cannot cast even the simplest of Kidō spells. All of the following benefits are cumulative.

[PTab=Specialty]
Specialty [Kidō] Characters who have attained at least SS-Rank in the Kidō [Exclusive] skill may choose the skill as their Specialty, keeping in mind that character's may only possess [1] Specialty. Kidō Specialists gain all of the following additional benefits (which stack with the normal benefits for having a high rank in Kidō).
NOTE: You may only have one Specialty. |
