* G E N E R A L T E C H S !

[maroon]Esishi Kyuu Kyouei (鏡映吸れいし, Reishi Absorption Mirror)[/maroon] — A technique which uses the Seele Schneider, the user gathers the spiritual energy from an opponent’s attack, deflects it and uses the energy as a blast right back at the opponent.

Ransō­tengai (乱装天傀, Heavenly Wild Puppet Suit) — Ransô­tengai is a high level technique that allows the user to control their body parts using strings of spirit energy controlled by their brain, forming lines or strings out of countless spiritrons. By using this technique, the user can control their body as one would a puppet, allowing them to move freely despite paralysis, broken limbs, or any other force that would impede normal movement. Dislocated joints and broken bones are meaningless against this technique.

Quincy: Letzt Stil (滅却師最終形態, Destruction Sage: Final Form, Quincy) — Quincy: Letzt Stil is the last resort for a Quincy using the Sanrei Glove. It gives the user a tremendous amount of power, but at the price of loss of their powers upon its completion. The only way for a Quincy to regain their powers after using the final form is to first exhaust themselves both mentally and physically, then be hit exactly 19 mm to the right of their heart with a spirit arrow. After this, a pentacle-shaped scar will form on the point of impact, and their powers will be restored.

[maroon]Wari Parusu (割りぱるす, Ripping Pulse) —[/maroon] A technique that uses a Seele Schneider, the user uses its natural ability which is to absorb the opponent’s reishi and send the collected reishi as a shock wave. This is quite similar to when a Shinigami flares reiatsu in order to momentarily hinder the opponent


[maroon]Stechend Pfeil (Piercing Arrow) —[/maroon] This type of quincy arrow is designed as a means of piercing through energy obstructions such as defensive techniques and incoming attacks. The way of forming the piercing arrow from reishi is unlike the standard way in that an arrow head is formed separately from the shaft. The narrow conical arrow head is directly touching the arrow shaft and thus is fired at the same time as the arrow; highly compressed the reishi that expands rapidly upon contact with any other energy except the arrow shaft itself, by triggering on contact with an obstruction made of energy the arrow head stretches the energy at the point of impact weakening it significantly so that the arrow shaft can continue by itself as a standard quincy arrow.

[maroon]Sprengen Pfeil (Bursting Arrow) —[/maroon] This type of quincy arrow is designed to make dodging more difficult, particularly for those opponents who attempt to dodge attacks by a small margin while closing in on the user. By imbuing their arrow with a little more reishi than usual the user can create a reishi arrow that looks exactly like their standard arrows, yet contains a small core of unstable energy in the centerer of the arrow. This core can then be used to splinter the arrow shaft into a spray of weaker, smaller arrows that are more difficult to dodge. While this burst of arrows was designed to occur in the direction the arrow was traveling in, with sufficient mastery the user may alter this to allow for a concentrated burst in a specific direction or even a 360 degree burst of smaller weaker arrows that become exceptionally difficult to dodge.

[maroon]Versöhnlich Pfeil (Forgiving Arrow) —[/maroon] This type of quincy arrow was developed purely as a response to the criticisms of the Shinigami about the destruction of Hollows, rather than destroying a soul, it kills in much the same fashion as a Shinigami Zanpakutō. This arrow is formed by creating a cylinder of reishi the same diameter as their standard arrow to fire, when this inflicts 'fatal' damage which would usually lead to the destruction of the soul, instead the core or centerer of the arrow is missing - therefore rather than destroying the soul outright it merely 'kills' them sending the soul on it's way to hell or for reincarnation. This arrow is slightly weaker than a standard quincy arrow and makes a soft whistling sound as it flies through the air, however it is slightly faster than standard quincy arrows.

[maroon]Pfeil Ruder (Arrow Rudder) —[/maroon] This technique can be applied to any quincy arrow before flight and allows the Quincy to freely alter the path of the arrow during flight, the changes result in the arrow curving through the air like a boat directed through the water by it's rudder. The degree to which the arrow's course can be shifted varies with the user's control over their reishi manipulation, however beginners will be able to change this only slightly while Quincy with advanced reishi manipulation can even cause their arrows to turn 180 degrees from their previous course. However each time the course of the arrow is altered there is some loss of reishi into the surroundings, making the arrow slightly less powerful each time.

[maroon]Harfe Schnur (Harp String) —[/maroon] Named by a quincy particularly fond of the classical string instruments this is a method for preparing to fire the quincy bow by gathering a significant amount of reishi and forming multiple Quincy strings at the same time, each string is then fitted with one or more arrows then fired from the bow, much like plucking a single string of a harp. This allows the arrows to be released individually, as small groups or all together yet requires only a single draw of the bow. However with each release the quincy must ensure that the hand that releases the arrows resumes the posture (as if holding the arrow) as this is the only means by which the arrow can be materialized.

The number of arrows formed will determine the amount of reishi required while the number of releases (not the number of arrows but rather the number of times that one or more arrows can be shot with a single draw of the bow) is determined by their reishi manipulation capacity and control with two releases being standard for a new quincy and two score (forty) the pinnacle achievement for a quincy.

[maroon]Abschirmung Bügel (Shielding Bow) —[/maroon] By forcing excess reishi into their bow the user is able to broaden the limbs of the bow significantly, forming a shield like surface that is highly resistant to blows however the ability of the bow to bend is reduced slightly, yet arrows can still be fired, if with less speed. Those with sufficient mastery of their reishi manipulation can use the reishi of any arrows they have already drawn to enlarge the bow into a shield, and even reforming the arrows from the excess energy if the reishi is not used up by the shield in defending against attacks.

[maroon]Reishi Verzierung (Reishi Adornment) —[/maroon] This technique allows the quincy to create a layer of reishi over their bodies that assists in reducing the force of impacts and also acts as a buffer against energy based attacks. The reishi surrounds the user in a thin layer or can focused into a specific area for greater results, however the amount of reishi used by this technique reduces the amount of reishi available in the surroundings for offensive skills, so in many cases the technique should be used sparingly.

[maroon]Reishi Ernte (Reishi Harvest) —[/maroon] Usually a Quincy is only able to manipulate the reishi in a limited area around them because of the need to gather and exert their control over the energy; however this technique is used to allow the Quincy to utilize the reishi they have already gathered and manipulated to gather in more reishi from their surroundings. The result is that the quincy is able to gather reishi more quickly, reducing the amount of time taken to perform techniques.

* G I N T Ō T E C H S !

Heizen (聖噬, Sacred Bite) — This technique creates a transparent, rectangular beam of energy from silver tubes which slices through the opponent
Incantation: "Feel the wrath of battle and accept this sacred chalice - Heizen"

Gritz (五架縛, Five Rack Ties) — This technique forms a man-sized pentagonal Quincy cross which envelops its target.
Incantation: "A silver rod strikes the five-fingered stone bed - Gritz!"

Wolke (緑杯­, Green Cup) — This technique uses a silver tube to create a large blast. While it may not be intended for use as such, it can be used to cushion the impact of a fall.
Incantaion: "Tilt the goblet to the west - Wolke!"

Sprenger (破芒陣, Ripping Grass Formation) — This technique uses five Seele Schneiders to create a pentagon-shaped seal, which when activated causes a massive explosion within its borders. When an object or a person stands within the middle of the Pentagon can the placement of the fifth Seele Schneider trap them by wrapping and binding their legs to the ground with dense spirit particles. The Seele Schneiders function as accumulators, gathering the necessary amount of spirit particles to create the explosion. The liquid inside a silver tube acts as the trigger. The preparations for the technique combined with the charging time for the Seele Schneiders make its use in battle impractical unless the user has a partner that can stall to buy time.

[maroon]Sache (問題, Matter) —[/maroon] After reciting the incantation for Sache, the Quincy throws the Gintō at an opponent. Once contact is made with some surface, whether it be shield or flesh, the Gintō explodes, releasing the pent up energy contained within the Gintō. This technique differs from Wolke in the fact that while Wolke is a normal explosion, the power of Sache is contained within the space of a basketball. While this lowers its range considerably, the power boost caused by the contained explosion makes up for it.
Incantation: “Fill the void - Sache!”

[maroon]Sturm (ゲイル, Gale Strike) —[/maroon] When using this Gintō technique, the Quincy has to place anywhere between one and six tubes in the spaces between their fingers. After reciting the incantation for Sturm, the user slashes down his or her arm like it's a sword and a large curved blade made of blue Reishi shoots from the Gintō. This technique has the offensive capabilities to destroy all Bakudō under number 40 and is very similar to Hadō 31. It is mid-ranged.
Incantation: “Heavenly winds, cut down my foes - Sturm!”

[maroon]Stolz (プライド, Pride) —[/maroon] Stolz is a very dangerous Gintō technique due to its instability caused by the manner in which the Reishi contained within the Gintō is used. Stolz functions essentially as spiritual napalm. Once the incantation has been recited a Quincy can throw Gintō, up to three at a time, and upon making contact with a surface will explode with an almost translucent and highly flammable bluish jelly-like substance. Once this jelly has coated the desired target a Quincy may then fire an arrow into it. The jelly will then detonate, creating a small explosion. Once the jelly goes ablaze, it spreads quickly along the rest of the substance. The flames reach an amazing 500 degrees Celsius, but can be put out with a drastic burst of reiatsu from the covered victim.
Incantation: “Feel the flames of my righteous indignation - Stolz!”

[maroon]Erde (地球, Mother Earth) —[/maroon] While most Gintō techniques deal with offensive capabilities Erde is one of the few that is a defensive one. This technique is preformed with two Gintō thrown, or placed before hand, six feet across. In order to activate this technique the Quincy must utter the incantation and upon completion, a 6ft x 6ft square shield constructed of blue Reishi will manifest. This shield has the ability to defend the use from Kidō up to level 40 and the vast majority of projectile Hollow attacks. However, when confronted by a physical attack this shield is torn through like tissue paper. This makes Erde a wonderful technique if one is aware of the projectile capabilities of their opponent but is useless in melee combat.
Incantation: “Be embraced by the One Mother - Erde!”

[maroon]Kessoku Sen (結束線, Binding Wire)[/maroon] — This techniques is one which mirrors Bakudō no Yon-Hainawa Kidō for Shinigami. The user uses one Gintō to create a long, thin wire which binds the opponent’s arms, prohibiting movement.

[maroon]Sejou no Fudou (施錠の不動, Immobility of Locking)[/maroon] — A stronger technique than Binding Wire, the user uses two Gintō to create two separate ropes to bind the user’s arms and legs. This is a stronger bind and is not as easy to break free of.

[maroon]Kei Baku Gensou (繋縛幻想, Restrain Illusion)[/maroon] — The user uses a Gintō and hinders the movements of the opponent’s movements. The bind is considered like an ‘illusion’ hence the name because there is no rope or wire which ties the opponent. Instead, the opponent just feels the bind, as though a rope is tying the whole body, immobilizing.

[maroon]Isou Kemuri Tekidan (偽装の煙擲弾, Smoke Grenade Camouflage)[/maroon] — A diversion technique where the user uses a Gintō and it turns into a smoke bomb. The grenade can be launched and for a moment the opponent will be blinded by the smoke and it can be used as a camouflage for an attack with a Quincy arrow.

[maroon]Sousshi Uchi Kakaru (双っし打ち掛かる, Twin Arrow Strike)[/maroon] — An offensive technique where the user can create arrows from a Gintō. The number of arrows produced will highly depend on the amount of spiritual power stored in the Gintō. The normal will be two but high spiritual powered Gintō can create up to four or five. It acts very much like a Quincy arrow and can be fired with a Quincy bow.

[maroon]Toumei Kakuheki (透明隔壁, Invisible Barrier) —[/maroon] A simple defense technique where the user uses a Gintō to create an invisible barrier to block attacks. This barrier can only successfully block up to level 40 Kidō and an Arrancar’s (of the same rank) Bala technique.

[maroon]Gokuken (地獄圏, Hell’s Circle) —[/maroon] A stronger defense technique than Toumei Kakuheki (Invisible Barrier), the barrier of Hell’s Circle is also invisible but it is able to block up to level 80 kido spells and other attacks of the same strength. Only a highly trained Quincy could use this, and it training is required to use it.

[maroon]Konpaku Kenmeru (こんぱく堅める,Soul Harden) —[/maroon] A technique which is very similar to the Arrancar Hierro, the user uses a Gintō and dispels reishi from the tube. It envelopes their clothing and allows temporary defense against physical attacks with swords and other weapons, usually protecting them against two mild attacks from a user of similar strength.

[maroon]Kuro Bushi (黒星, Bull’s Eye) —[/maroon] A technique which uses a Ginto and a Quincy arrow. The user infuses the spiritual energy from the Ginto with the Quincy arrow using this technique, and it can increase the strength of the arrow when hitting the target.

* Q U I N C Y I T E M S !

Hollow Bait — This item is a small, coin-shaped disk that attracts hollows when crushed. When used by Ury±, the bait, in combination with Ichigo's powerful spiritual pressure, was able to draw a Gillian-class Menos out of Hueco Mundo.

Quincy Bangle (装身具, Accessory) — The Quincy Bangle is an artifact designed to mimic a Quincy's natural powers. It works by drawing in spirit particles from the environment, much like a Quincy does regularly. It can only be used properly by those who are already adept at forming and directing spirit particles.

Quincy Cross (滅却十字, Destruction Cross) — Standard equipment for any Quincy, the Quincy Cross acts as the focus for a Quincy bow. The cross need not necessarily be in a cross shape, as Ry±ken's cross is a pentacle.

Sanrei Glove (散霊手套) — A powerful Quincy artifact that can increase a Quincy's power exponentially, but requires a dangerous and exhausting type of resistance training (wearing it for a week while constantly firing spiritual arrows) to master. The glove works by scattering the spirit particles in the surrounding area, making it much harder to form a working bow. If a Quincy can summon a bow and use it for the required amount of time, they will have undergone a massive increase in power. When removed, however, the glove will release the user's energy all at once - first transforming them into a being of tremendous strength, the Quincy Final Form, and then forcing their Quincy powers to gutter out completely.

Seele Schneider (を切り裂くもの , That Which Slits the Soul) — The Seele Schneider is a thin sword that can be fired similarly to an arrow. It's much longer than a standard arrow and functions something like a chainsaw: the spirit particles of its blade vibrate at ultra-high frequencies, loosening the molecular bonds between any spirit matter it cuts so that the Quincy user may easily absorb the freed spirit particles.

Soul-Synthesized Glass (霊化硝子) — Soul-Synthesized Glass is a material that can be constructed by Quincy from the Reishi around them. Soul-Synthesized Glass, instead of attracting Reishi, repels it. This Glass can be used to construct Items that can repel reishi based attacks such as the Quincy arrows. This material is even rarer than Soul-Synthesized Sliver and can only be created by powerful Quincy.

Soul-Synthesized Silver (霊化銀) — Soul-synthesized silver, along with Soul-Synthesized Glass, is a material that can be constructed by Quincy by using the reishi around them. This silver functions in much the same way a Quincy Bangle does, but with much more power. Using Soul-synthesized Silver, Quincy can make a variety of items designed to help augment their abilities. In addition to augmentation, Soul-synthesized Silver can also be used in the same way as Gint­. Only very powerful Quincy have the ability to construct this material

Silver Tubes (銀筒) — Silver tubes are small liquid-filled capsules that store spiritual energy, and are used by Quincy for spell-casting in the same way that Shinigami use Kidō­. Like Kidō­, they are activated by calling out various commands.

[maroon]Soul Synthesized Steel (魂は鋼合成) —[/maroon] Soul-Synthesized Steel is a material that can be constructed by Quincy by using the Reishi around them. This steel functions in much the same way as Soul-Synthesized Silver does, but to a lesser degree. Due to the fragility of silver and glass the Quincy Elders sought a way to create stronger accessories and weapons; in order to do this they created Soul-Synthesized Steel. However, much to their dismay they discovered that while the steel was much stronger than the silver or the glass, they had sacrificed its Reishi manipulating abilities. Using Soul-Synthesized Steel, Quincy can make a variety of items designed to help augment their abilities. Unlike Soul-Synthesized Silver, Soul Synthesized Steel lacks the ability to be used as a replacement Ginto.

[maroon]Reishi Gun (ソウル粒子ガン) —[/maroon] A Reishi Gun is a Quincy item constructed of Soul-Synthesized Silver or Soul-Synthesized Steel. Using their natural abilities to harness the Reishi around them, amplified by the properties of the metal used to construct it, the Quincy takes the Reishi and channels it into the area a cartridge would be. Then, while contained within the gun, it is naturally shaped into a bullet where upon completion is fired from the gun. This item functions in much the same way as a Quincy bow but much more limited due to the fact that the cartridge can only hold a max of nine bullets and the rate of fire is constant. The only upside is that the bullets fire faster than an arrow.
