Power Description:

Mythical Replica

Ruyi Bang is a replica of the same staff from the legends of Sun Wukong.  It resembles a staff of black iron capped with rings of gold.  Golden inlay runs in a spiral pattern down the length of the staff.  If one looks closely it's actually two separate spirals moving in tandem.  Ruyi Bang has the primary and most well known power of its fictional counterpart, the ability to alter its size.  Not just its length but its thickness as well.

Trait Description:

Added / Upgraded Aspects

Aspect Name: The Compliant Rod (Manifestation Base)
Skill: Manifestation

Attribute Description: With but a mere thought, Tsubaki can have Ruyi Bang change its size, becoming longer, shorter, thicker and thinner.  With the ease with which Tsubaki can do this one has to wonder if she'd somehow known she'd have this power one day, or if...perhaps, when she was younger, she spent many days wondering what it would be like to have the powers of the Monkey King.

Aspect Name: A Speedy Expansion (Manifestation 4, Compliant Rod Evolution)

Skill: Manifestation

Attribute Description: With experience and understanding comes ease, and the speed at which the staff expands and shifts in size and scope is impressive.  Truly Tsubaki gels with her power extremely well, curious given she'd had no idea she'd ever have such before.  The speeds it can expand or extend are enough that particularly on extension the extension itself can be used to deliver solid attacks.

Techniques and Spells

Added / Upgraded Techniques

Technique Name: Giant Swing!

Technique Description: A simple technique but an effective one. Tsubaki takes Riyu Bang, extending it out as much as she can or the environment allows before delivering a mighty swing, halfway through the staff expands, increasing in size dramatically to deliver a more hefty and powerful impact!  The halfway part is important as otherwise she'd never get a good enough grip to swing it at that size to begin with!

Technique Name: Monkey King Soars!
Technique Description: A technique that's name becomes obvious through it's use. She slams her staff into the ground at an angle and extends, not towards the opponent but towards the ground, launching herself along with the staff towards the foe, her body angling in the position of a drop kick to slam herself foot first into a foe!

Technique Name: The Compliant Hooped Shield
Technique Description: A straightforward trick where upon planting the staff on the ground, it expands, becoming thick enough for Tsubaki to fully shelter behind.  By planting it on the ground she can brace it too, not just protecting her from attack (from that one direction) but also allowing her to brace and hold her ground as needed.

Added / Upgraded Spells:

Spell name: Barrier Tag

Spell Description: One of her shrine's spells, the Barrier Tag creates a solid shield of reishi directly in front of the user.  It is significantly more robust than Shelter, but lasts only a few seconds.  However the user is still freely able to move (although the shield will not follow), by taking a few moments to empower the tag and 'charge' it the barrier can even be given forward force, potentially slamming into a foe although that won't do much actual harm.

<Free Trait>: Angry Strength!

Strength

Tsubaki is a very...loudmouthed and combative girl, and when she gets angry, when her temper flares she just seems to get a whole lot stronger than she normally is, famously once hauling a reporter almost twice her size and throwing him out of the shrine grounds by the seat of his pants!

<Free Trait>: Never Knew When To Quit

Endurance

Whether it was in track, her shrine maiden training, or just fulfilling her duties, Tsubaki's never known quite when to quit.  While this can easily lead to her crashing and sleeping for over twelve hours in a day or longer, and extreme fatigue and exhaustion it has at least had a benfit giving her a surprising amount of stamina, or rather an ability to push on even in the face of exhaustion where others would be struggling just to stand.

<Agility Milestone>: Track Star
Agility

When Tsubaki was in school, besides martial arts she also participated in track and field, and was a particularly fast runner. That hasn't changed today, she can take off into a sprint with little notice, and stop or turn much quicker and better than most other people can even when going at full tilt!

<Reiatsu Milestone>: Spiritual Wellspring (Was Shining Spirit)
Reiatsu
As her training went on it became clear that Tsubaki was possessed of a particularly impressive spirit, perhaps relating to her feisty and stubborn nature, her spirit is a wellspring of reiatsu that seems to flow seemingly without end, no matter how much magic is cast it still seems to flow constantly...but this also means she has a hard time suppressing it too, and despite appearances it's not endless, she'll run out eventually just slower than others.

Added / Upgraded Aspects

<Free Aspect>: Bōjutsu!

Martial Arts

While hardly a master Tsubaki spent a good bit of time and still does, practicing Bōjutsu, or in other words, staff based martial arts.  As long as she's got a staff in her hand she's a very practiced opponent for anyone, able to hold her own better than most might expect.

<Free Aspect>: Talismanic Magic

Magic

The Shrine Maidens of Miyobi practice an unusual magic for Fullbringers, based on the traditional Onmyoji of Japan, they inscribe kanji onto paper talismans or tags before imbuing it with their reiatsu, the kanji written upon it dictating its effect.  This gives a wide range of spells that require only a grasp of vocabulary but it does create a limit of needing these talismans on hand and a limited ability to improvise.

<Magic Milestone>: Cross-Tag Casting!

Magic

A trick that Tsubaki specifically learned from Makoto, she can either empower a spell by casting it with two talismans or even cast two spells at once.  It requires a bit of focus, and the effort to feed reiatsu into two separate talismans actually creates a greater cost on the caster as efficiency takes a dip from the need to split the flow but the benefits are often worth it.

<Manifestation Base>: The Compliant Rod
Ruyi Bang
With but a mere thought, Tsubaki can have Ruyi Bang change its size, becoming longer, shorter, thicker and thinner. With the ease with which Tsubaki can do this one has to wonder if she'd somehow known she'd have this power one day, or if...perhaps, when she was younger, she spent many days wondering what it would be like to have the powers of the Monkey King.

(Manifestation Milestone) A Speedy Expansion
Ruyi Bang
With experience and understanding comes ease, and the speed at which the staff expands and shifts in size and scope is impressive. Truly Tsubaki gels with her power extremely well, curious given she'd had no idea she'd ever have such before. The speeds it can expand or extend are enough that particularly on extension the extension itself can be used to deliver solid attacks.

By planting it on the ground she can brace it too, not just protecting her from attack (from that one direction) but also allowing her to brace and hold her ground as needed.

Added / Upgraded Spells:

Spell Name: Freeze! Tag
Tsubaki's magic is based in the accoutrements of a Miko and thus most of her spells come in the form of talismans, paper tags with delicate, fine kanji writ upon them. The Freeze! Tag is as simple as could be, one of these talismans with the Kanji for 'freeze' upon it. In effect slapping this on someone after imbuing it with spiritual energy will cause their body to lock up, go stiff and rigid in place. They will 'freeze' in place. It only lasts for a short time and that varies greatly depending on who she uses it from. A normal human? Minutes easily. Someone actually capable? A strong person might just force their limbs to move, while someone with strong reiatsu would have the duration last maybe a few seconds if she's lucky.

Spell Name: Shelter Talisman
One of the things she uses most often. This is a defensive spell that creates an area of 'shelter' to prevent other spiritual beings from enter. It has no effect on anything with an actual physical body, but those of purely spiritual nature will find an invisible barrier attempting to prevent entrance. Against something like a Plus it's basically fool proof, but anything with actual power can simply slam against it until the power of the talisman expires, or if they're powerful enough, walk through as if it weren't even there. The Shelter Talisman has to be placed upon a stationary object. Typically this is the wall or door of a house, sheltering the entire house. It can't be slapped on a person, and slapping it say on the ground of a street is...not exactly effective. It will create a small barrier fit for one person in that case, but in a situation where one would attempt that. It means the user is now stuck in one place and their opponent only needs to smack that barrier hard a few times to get it to vanish.

Spell Name: Purification Tag
A name that is somewhat misleading. The purification tag is a properly offensive spell used to ward off 'demons'. Tsubaki has rarely had cause to use this across her career, but she still knows it. In truth this spell gathers Reishi from the air and releases it in the form of a fast moving ball of spirit energy that detonates on impact. Her Shrine believes this is a form of energy antithetical to 'demons' and thus a thing of purification. To perform Tsubaki produces one of her talismans, with the correct kanji written upon it, and brings it up towards her head, before lowering it down towards her heart and extending her hand outwards as if throwing! The talisman notably never leaves her hands, but does burn to ash upon successful use.

Spell Name: Blessing of Purification
Similar to the Purification Tag, this spell is not what those actually educated would think it is. Unlike the Purification Tag, this is not an attack but a 'buff'. The kanji upon this talisman is similar but it is applied to a weapon or item. For example, Tsubaki's own gohei. Upon being applied and activated with a jolt of reiatsu, the talisman will draw Reishi to the item, and coat the weapon in it. This does nothing but to those who can see it, provides a blue-white shimmer to the item. This Reishi is released upon striking another 'solid' source of Reishi. As an example, applying this to a baseball bat, and then striking a hollow, the result would be a powerful concussive wave of Reishi. Striking a car, or a physical person would result in just...the normal results of hitting someone with a bat.

Not all the Reishi is released upon an impact, merely some of it, and the talisman will continue drawing reishi to the item until a certain amount has been drawn and then it will burn away and the reishi disperse. This can be applied to almost anything, a metal pipe, a baseball bat, a knife. There are limits of size, slapping this on a car would do absolutely nothing, and particularly powerful reiatsu from an opposing party could 'strip' the Reishi from the object as it approaches, greatly weakening the effect.


Spell Name: Exorcism Ritual

The grand triumph of the Kawakatsu Shrine, and the most difficult and taxing of all the spells that Tsubaki knows. This is a spell designed to send a soul to the afterlife and it is no simple thing. For the Miko of the Kawakatsu Shrine they know of no other way. Ritual is no understatement either. This is a spell that can take hours to perform. The spirit in question must be either weak or willing, and even then the process is difficult. A task of hours of prayer (incantations) and ritualistic dancing, involving talismans, gohei, bells, drums and candles. All of this is part of a long form spell passed down from the Shrine's founder to draw in Reishi from the surroundings, a rather impressive amount for someone as low level as Tsubaki, in order to generate enough to forcibly 'push' the spirit from this realm to the next. Even then it doesn't always succeed, especially with an unwilling spirit, and the reishi gathering into that one place can often be easily noticed by others.

(New)Shield Tag

Inscribed with the Kanji 盾 the Shield Tag when cast creates a large disc of transparent reishi, typically for only a few seconds, but during those few seconds it is quite a stubborn and difficult to break shield...granted it only covers a certain area.

(New) Sacred Arrow

Inscribed with the Kanji 聖矢 this talisman when cast floats up into the air and hovers around the caster, gathering reishi into a long thin 'arrow' that then shoots off towards the caster's target, drawn towards where the target's reishi is densest.  It takes a couple seconds to actually form but the power is worth it.  The caster can move while the arrow is forming but that may throw off its aim.

(New) Oasis Talisman

The Oasis talisman is a tool of healing. Inscribed with the Kanji 療 it is empowered and then thrown on the ground, creating a small area or 'pool' in which reishi gathers, coalesces, and anyone standing in it will have it infused into their body healing injuries and wounds.  It cannot restore limbs or cure diseases, but it can heal the damage caused by the illness and stop the bleeding of a lost limb.  Of note is that the healing is somewhat slow, someone with serious injuries would need to spend easily half a minute sitting in the area affected to fully heal.
