POST IN THIS THREAD AND I WILL MAKE YOU'RE LIFE A LIVING HELL
this thread is just used to hold the kidoey stuff so far, so it doen't get bogged down and lost in a topic or chased off the front page. if you want to comment, come to this thread
Kido:
Kido, or the demon arts, is the school of magic taught to shinigami to aid them in their duties. Kido is cast through the use of complex hand sytmbols and incantation.
Kido is split into three schools: Hádo - the destructive arts - Bakudo - this binding arts - and the healing arts. Hádo and Bakudo coonsistt of 99 spells, each with their own name and number. Healing spells, however, have neither a name nor an incantation.
Casting Kido
To cast a Kido spell, the shinigami has to spend Spirirtual Energy Points (or SEP) from their pool. the cost of each level of spell is shown in table 1.
All Kido is cast spontaniously,with no need for preperation, so long as the shinigami has enough SEP to cast it.
All Hádo and Bakudo spells have both a somatic and a vocal component (incantation and hand seals) and unless otherwise stated, casting a Hado/Bakudo spell is a full round action that provokes an atack of oportunity. It is possible to cast a Kido spell without the incantation etc, but it comes at a cost. Casting like this is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of oportunity, but the spell is cast at 1/2 caster level.
Healing spells are designed for speed and efficiency. these have no incantations or hand seals, and are cast as a standard action at full caster level.
There are also unclassified spells. the exact casting details, time and cost are given in the spell description
Augmenting Incantations
as well as the standard way of casting kido spells, it is possible to enhance them by spending extra SEP, such as metakido feats etc. A shinigami can spend an number of extra SEP equal to their caster level on each spell as augmentations. A warrior shinigami can only spend 1/2 their caster level on augmentations.
Incantationless Kido can also be augmented, but every shinigami except for a Kido Shinigami must pay twice as many points per augmentation on an incantationless Kido spell (unless it was made incantationless through feats/augmentation/zankaputo abilities etc)
optional rule: Included in some of the Kido spells is a boosted version. if you want Kido in your game to be more highly powered, then any shinigami can cast the boosted version of the spells they know for an extra 4 SEP. spells cast like this take a full round action, and then a standard action.
If you want Kido in you're game to be much more powerful, consider having the listed standard effect be the effect for skipping the incantation instead of 1/2 caster level, and the boosted version to be the effect of speaking the full incantation.
Maintaining a spell
some spells can be maintained, for the cost listed. the spell stays in effect until it is negated by an outside force, the shinigami stops paying to maintain it, or they cast another spell. in addition, whenever a shinigami takes damage, they must pass a dc (10 + level of spell maintaiend + number of rounds maintained) concentration test or the spell ends.
Kido Feats
Twin Incantation
Metakido
The shinigami channels two spells together at once, mixing the incantations and hand symbols. not only is this effective, it is also very hard to counter due to being unable to precicely determine the spell being cast.
the caster uses 2 spells as a standard action, rather than one. Both spells are cast as if the caster skipped the incantation. The caster chooses which order the spells take effect, and both spells must have the same target(s). this costs as much as casting the two spells together, + an extra 4 SEP for each spell (though it only counts as 4 points of augmentation, and the cost is not increased further because the spell is being cast without the incantation).
In addition, due to the mixed nature of the spell and seals, the dc to identify the spell is increased by 10
examples: Mixing Hado 12: fushibi with any other Hado spell will produce a very large bang, or mixing Tszuiri raiden with a Bakudo to trap the victim will not only bind them, but increase the damage and stun the target temporarily
Merged Incantations
Metakido
prerequisites: Twin Incantation, level 7 kido
This is an improved version of the twin incantation method. it creates not a half effect from each spell, but their full effect.
This functions as the twin Kido metakido feat above, however, both spells are cast at full power (and can be boosted together for a 1.5 round casting if that rule is in use). this costs an extra 10 SEP per spell (though it only counts as 10 sep for the maximum augmentation limit)
False incantations
Metakido
The shinigami has become addept at masking their spell behind incorrect incantations, false hand symbols and - in some cases - even using simple conversation as the incantation.
this costs 2 extra SEP for any spell that does not have a reflex save, and an extra 3 SEP for every spell that does. the DC to detect the spell being cast is increased by 10, and the DC of any reflex save is increased by 2. this can only be used on a spell cast with the incantation.
Kido Focus
Prerequisites: able to cast spells of the chosen discipline
Choose one kido discipline (Hádo, Bakudo, Healing), Your caster level is assumed to be 1 higher for the purpose of casting spells from the chosen discipline
Kido Dedication
Prerequisites: Kido focus with the chosen school
You can cast spells of the selected school without the incantation at your full caster level, instead of half caster level.
Restorative Bindings
Metakido
Prerequisites: Kido focus (healing)
When you use a Bakudo, you can choose to make it so anyone inside the spell gains fast healing equal to 1 + the highest level of healing spell you can cast. this increases the number of powerpoints needed for the spell by 2. This costs an Aditional 2 SEP
Destructive Bindings
Metakido
Prerequisites: Kido focus (Hádo)
When you use a Bakudo, you can choose to make it so anyone inside the spell suffers untyped damage each round equal to 1 + the highest level of Hádo you can cast. This costs an aditional 2 SEP
Kido strike
Metakido
Prerequisites: Able to cast spells
Whenever you make a melee attack, you can choose to use this ability. You can bind one touch range/single target kido spell you know into part of the attack. If the attack hits, the targets suffers the effect of the spell as well as the attack. this consumes your swift action for the turn, and costs an aditional 4 sep. this cost is not increased because the spell is cast incantationless.
Spells
Bakudo
Bakudo 01: Sai (block)
[force, creation]
level shinigami 1
incantation unknown
range Medium (100 ft + 10 * caster level)
target: Unlimited; see below
casting time standard
duration 10 minute per caster level
save: strength/escape artist
spell resistance no
effect: the caster points at their target, causing their arms to be locked behind their back by a rush of force.
the target is unable to ake use of their arms until they break free of the bind, though they can still perform any action that does not require use of their arms.
breaking the bind is either an escape artist test (at dc + 5) or strength test that can be performed as soon as the spell is cast, and then each further round as a move equivelant action.
alternitavely, the caster may target multiple foes with this spell. the save dc and duration is split equally (rounding up) between each victim
Bakudo 04: Hainawa (Crawling Rope)
[light, creation]
level shinigami 1
incantation unknown
range medium (100 ft + 10 * caster level)
target: single
casting time standard
duration 10 minute per caster level
save: relfex negates; see below
spell resistance no
effect: A stream of golden rope extends from the casters fingers and surounds the victim, preventing them from moving or acting. The target may take a reflex save to avoid the rope. If they fail, then the victim is Stunned for a number of rounds equal to the caster's caster level. if they pass the reflex save, they are instead entangled.
Escaping from the ropes is a standard action that requires either a strenght test, or a dc+5 escape artist test.
the rope is both flamabble (though this does not destroy it) and conducts eletricity
Bakudo 08: Seki (Repulsion)
[force, creation]
level shinigami 1
incantation unknown
range medium
target: single
casting time standard
duration 1 minute per caster level
save: no (harmless)
spell resistance yes (harmless)
effect: a clear disk of force forms somewhere, protecting the target. this disk repels anything that strikes it, and temporarily paralyzes them.
the target of the spell gains a +4 shield bonus to AC and +4 spell resistance, though they gain no penalties for using a sheild (and still gain the bonus even if they have no free hands).
In addition, when the shield is struck by a close combat attack, the attack must pass a will save or be stunned for 1 round, and knocked back 10 ft.
Bakudo 09: Geki (strike)
Incantation: "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat!"
[Conjuration
Level: Shinigami 1
Casting time: Standard
Range: 30 ft
Target one creature
duration: sustained; see text
Saving throw: Yes, reflex negates
spell resistance: No
Effect: the caster draws a symbol in the air, which glows briefly with bright red light. The light then surrounds the caster and the target, locking them in place, in a battle of wills to maintain or break the shield
As soon as the spell is cast, the target of the spell can make a reflex save. If they succeed, nothing happens. If they fail, then they are stunned the next round, and maybe for longer. Each round after the first, the Target and the caster make an opposed strength test; if the victim wins, the spell ends and they are free; otherwise, they are immobilized for another round. The caster can choose whether to use their strength or caster level for this test.
However, holding the foe like this comes at a price. The energy surrounds the caster as well, locking them in place. As long as they sustain the spell, they too are immobilized.
Bakudo 10: Hórin (disintegrating circle)
incantation: Unknown
[conjuration, Illusion (mind effecting)]
Level: Shinigami 1
Casting time: Standard
Range: medium (100 ft + caster level * 10ft )
Target one creature
duration: 1 minute/caster level
Saving throw: Yes, will reduces effect
spell resistance: Yes
Effect the caster creates a line of golden rope that shoots from her fingertips in much the same manner as Hainawa, but more focused. The user can direct the rope of light towards their target, and can seer it to avoid obstacles. They can also set up the rope as a trip-wire or trap.
Anyone touched by the ropes is caught, and the rope connects to them so long as they stay within range of the caster/rope location. This rope does not impair movement or action, but it does shed the same amount of light as a torch. The rope is as strong as a length of fine steel chain, and can be used to pull willing targets. Targets connected by the rope can communicate through it like a telepathic bond
In addition to that effect, the rope can also be used to capture and restrain the victim. If the caster wills it, they must make a will save each round the rope stays connected to them, or be fascinated for 1d4 rounds. Two consecutively successful will saves causes the rope to detach. A fascinated victim is always considered willing to be moved with the rope.
The caster generates an additional rope for every 4 caster levels they possess, up to a maximum of 4 as caster level 13.
Bakudo 22: Sekienton (Red Smoke Escape)
incantation: Unknown
[conjuration]
Level: Shinigami 2
Casting time: Standard
Range: Personal
Target burst (cloud spreads ½ CL * 5 ft spherically)
duration: 1 minute/caster level
Saving throw: No
spell resistance: No
the practitioner raises their hand, and a sphere of red mist forms in it. They then thow this orb to the ground at their feet, where it explodes into a cloud of blinding smoke. It is stationary once created. The Mist obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has total concealment. The caster always knows where the smoke ends.
A moderate wind (11+ mph), such as from a gust of wind spell, disperses the fog in 4 rounds. A strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round. A fireball, flame strike, or similar spell burns away the fog in the explosive or fiery spell’s area. A wall of fire burns away the fog in the area into which it deals damage.
Bakudo 26: Kyokkó (Bent Light)
incantation: Unknown
[Illusion(glammer), conjuration]
Level: Shinigami 2
Casting time: Standard
Range: touch
Target special; see below
duration: 1 minute/caster level
Saving throw: will (harmless)
spell resistance: No
effect the caster uses their powers to bend light around the chosen object into veil that conceals it from sight, but also distorts any reitsu.
the target is invisible until he attacks another creature. In addition, the target gains a +10 circumstance bonus to their suppress reistu skill thanks to the cloak's effect
Bakudo 30: Shiotsu Sansen (Break-Thrust Tri-flash)
Incantation: Unknown
[conjuration]
Level 03
Range: Short (30 ft + caster level * 5)
Target One creature within one size category of the caster
Duration: 1 min per caster level
Save: Reflex negates
Spell resistance: no
Forming a golden triangle with one's finger, it shoots three beams of light that pin the target to one place on a surface, slamming into his or her body in three places in a shape of an equilateral triangle.
The subject must pass a reflex save or be paralysed and held in place by the beams of light, and pushed away from the caster to the maximum range of the spell, or until they hit another creature or object that could reasonably stop them. If they hit an object, the creature suffers 1d6 bludgeoning damage for each 10ft they moved, to a minimum of 1d6
A trapped creature must pass either a dc 10+caster level strength test, or a dc15 + caster level escape artist test to escape, which takes a standard action. The binds can also be damaged; they have a resilience of ½ caster level (minimum 3) and 20 hit points
Bakudo 37: Tsuriboshi (hanging star)
Incantation: Unknown
[conjuration]
Level 03
Range: Medium (100 ft + caster level * 10)
Target Burst (caster level * 5 ft radius)
Duration: 1 min per caster level
Save: none (see below)
Spell resistance: no
The practitioner creates an orb of spiritual energy, which erupts in a number of springs that latch on to the surrounding area, creating a web or net that is used primarily to catch.
When cast, it creates a net of spiritual energy with a total area of 5ft per caster level vertically or horizontally. At least two sides of the net must be in contact with a solid object, or the net will fall to the ground (see below)
The net is a solid object of light, and provides a stable footing for creatures to stand on. Due to the design of the net, the caster may decide if creatures falling onto it suffer falling damage. The caster can also decide what can pass through the net, and what cannot.
The net has a resilience equal to caster level (minimum of 3, maximum of 10) and 20 hp. Due to the springy design of the net, it's resilience is doubled against bludgeoning damage. When casting the spell, the caster can choose to sacrifice area to increase the resistance, at a rate of 5 hp and 1 resilience per 5 feet sacrificed.
The caster is automatically aware of every creature touching the net
If the net falls on a creature, it functions like a web spell, save the net retains it's normal resilience and hp
Bakudo 39: Enkósen (round lock fan)
Incantation: Unknown
[conjuration]
Level 03
Range: Personal
Target Self
Duration: 1 round
Save: none (harmless)
Spell resistance: no (harmless)
The practitioners raises their hand or weapon before them, twirling it round as a spark of dull yellow light form. This becomes a circular shield that dulls an enemies strike, protecting the user.
This spell creates a shield of energy that protects the user. Pick a direction, the shield increases the users AC by their caster level (maximum 10), and grants concealment 5 per caster level (maximum 50%) from all attacks from that direction
The shield is also designed to neutralise energy-based attacks of the same intensity or less. The shield prevents and level 3 or lower Kido from the chosen direction. It also negates 5d6 damage from an area effect (line/cone/burst), and any secondary effects. If the effect is entirely negated, then it's progression stops past the caster (though a burst/cone will continue spreading, save for a direct line from the user to the shield will be unaffected) if the shield is used to block an attack like this, it does not provide the AC/concealment bonus this turn as it's energy is used negating the attack
Special: This spell can be cast incantationless as a reaction. It counts as using the standard action for the next round
Bakudo 58: Kakushitsuijaku (Summoning of the tracking sparrow)
Incantation: "Heart of the south, eye of the north, finger of the west, foot of the east, arrive with the wind and depart with the rain."
[conjuration, Divination]
Level 05
Range: Personal
Target Self
Duration: Instant/sustained
Casting time: 2 rounds
Save: will
Spell resistance: yes
Kakushituikaku is primarily used for tracking and locating any spiritual force the user focuses on. The practitioner draws a circle with the appropriate symbols set apart in four quadrants upon the ground using a black powder. They then place their hands palm down just under the circle to activate the spell. The circle glows with a blue light as the symbols are animated within the circle, causing various numbers to appear within until the specific set is found.
This spell gives the exact co-ordinates of a target you know the spiritual pressure of well (known for a long time etc). If you are less familiar with the person, it requires a DC (10 + target's suppress reitsu) sense motive test. If all you know of the person is a name, description or a brief flash of reistsu then the DC is doubled. The target of the spell is allowed a will save to detect they are being spied on.
The caster of this spell can choose to sustain this spell. If so, the co-ordinates constantly update so long as the target stays on the same plane of existence. They are allowed a further will save every minute if they did not initially detect the scrying.
This spell cannot detect someone actively suppressing their resitsu. This spell cannot be cast by skipping the incantation; it must be cast at it's full time. Metakido cannot be applied to this spell (no fell-draining with scrying. That's wrong on all levels possible...)
Bakudo 61: Rikujōkōrō (Six rods prison of light)
Incantation: “Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six“
[conjuration]
Level 06
Range: Medium (100ft + 10 * caster level)
Target One creature
Duration: 1 minute/level
Casting time: standard
Save: will negates
Spell resistance: yes
The practitioner points his/her index finger at the target generating a spark of yellow energy. That energy summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's midsection, holding them in place. The target is then unable to move any part of their body including the parts that were not struck by the beams
The victim is paralysed and freezes in place. It is unable to move any part of it's body or act, but it can still speak. A victim is allowed a further save each and every minute to break free of the binding, or each round if it suffered damage since the last round.
A flying creature cannot flap it's wings, and a swimming creature cannot continue swimming. This causes the expected consequences.
Special: this spell can be cast on a target entangled with another Bakudo spell incantationless without halfing your caster level. This consumes the other Bakudo effect
Bakudo 62: Hyyaporankan (Hundred-step rail perch)
Incantation: Unkown
[conjuration]
Level 06
Range: Medium (100 ft + 5* caster level)/Short (30 ft + 5 * caster level)
Target Line/cone
Duration: 1 minute/level
Casting time: standard
Save: reflex negates
Spell resistance: no
A rod formed of energy is thrown towards the target before it disintegrates into numerous short rods . These rods speed forward, impaling and propelling everything in their path and pinning them together, ready to be annihilated.
Each creature in the cone must pass a reflex save or be caught in the spell. Creatures caught are propelled backwards to the maximum range of the spell, or until they hit something that would reasonably stop them. Size has no effect on saving themselves from the spell, such is the power of the rods.
If the creature caught in this hits another creature or object, both suffers d6 points of damage for each 5 feet it has moved, to a maximum of 10d6
Creatures effected by the spell are paralysed, though they can still speak. Each round, a creature trapped may make a dc 15 + caster level strength test, or a dc 20 + caster level escape artist test. These binds can also be destroyed. They have a resilience equal to caster level (minimum 6) and 20 HP. Each creature must be freed independently.
sorry bout the last post - I can edit them to use whatever system you want if my hP system offends you
oh, and some more spells and feats and such things:
Bakudo 63: Sajó Sabuka (Chainlink chain bonds)
Incantation: Unknown
[conjuration]
Level 06
Range: Medium (100 ft + 5* caster level)
Target One or many. All targets must be within 30 ft of each other
Duration: 1 minute/level
Casting time: standard
Save: reflex negates
Spell resistance: no
The practitioner gestures towards their intended target, and numerous links of heavy chains burst forth, that wrap around the intended target and begin to constrict.
Each victim is entitled to a reflex save to try and escape the effect. If they fail, then they are grappled and stunned by the spell. Each round, the victims of the spell can attempt to escape it as though they where escaping a grapple, with the chains having an effective strength of 15 + caster level. The chains count as a medium creature for this purpose.
The chains slowly but surely tighten around their victims, so long as the caster wills it. This is a constrict attack that deals damage equal to caster level + rounds entangled to each entangled creature.
The chains may be broken, however there is a risk. The chain has a resilience equal to caster level (minimum 6) and 20 hp. All links of chain after the break (calculated from the central target) fall inert, but those before the break remain active. However, there is a chance that the constantly shifting chains manage to snare and entangle the attacker, and they must make a reflex save to avoid this if the attack was made at close range. Due to the moving nature of the chains, all attacks made from over 30 ft away have a 50% chance of hitting the creature entangled instead.
The caster may choose to keep hold of a link of the chain. If his link of chain is broken, however, all other links of the chain go inert
The chain conducts electricity, and are undamaged by it.
Bakudo 73: Tozanshó (Inverse mountain crystal)
Incantation: Unknown
[conjuration]
Level 07
Range: Short (400 ft + 10* caster level)
Target Cone (see below)
Duration: 1 Minute/level
Casting time: standard
Save: reflex negates
Spell resistance: no
The caster ignites a single point of light, which then splits and forms into a pyramid shape. The pyramid is mostly used for defence, but it can also be used to trap a target, or to hold something in place.
Designate a starting point somewhere within range. From that point upwards, an inverted pyramid is created with a height equal to caster level * 5 ft. this them forms into four solid walls, with 50 hp and a resilience equal to caster level (minimum 7). The created pyramid repairs any damage to itself in each of the caster's turn, until the duration ends. The inner walls are much more fragile, and have half that resilience and HP
the walls are transparent, and anyone can see through them (with a minor blue-ish tinge), though they stop all projectile attacks that strike them and does not destroy them. Sound travels feely through the walls
Bakudo 75: Gochútekkan (Five Post Iron Weights)
Incantation: Unknown
[conjuration]
Level 07
Range: Long (400 ft + 10* caster level)
Target: One Create/area (see below)
Duration: N/A
Casting time: standard
Save: reflex negates
Spell resistance: no
The casters clasps their hands together as if praying, and five small orbs of light form and circle them. As the caster raises their hands above their head, the lights form a spinning halo, before dispersing. When the caster slams their hands down, and the lights form into 5 incredibly large Iron Pillars, linked together by lengths of chain.
The caster selects where the 5 Pillars come down. No one pillar can be more than 10 feet from another Pillar. Each Pillar is 5 feet wide, 5 feet long, and Caster level * 5 feet high. A creature is a square a Pillar comes down in can take a reflex save to avoid being hit by the pillar. A creature that fails this reflex save suffers 6d6 bludgeoning damage and is knocked down. They are unable to get up or move until they can get the pillar off of them/turn intangible/teleport etc. They suffer a further 6d6 bludgeoning damage a round.
The crushing pressure of these posts is enough that they can break through objects with a hardness lower than or equal to their resilience without slowing down
Alternatively, this spell can be used to create 5 thinner, targeted spears at one specific target. This target must make a reflex save be knocked down, pinned in place, and suffer 10d6 bludgeoning damage, and another 10d6 each turn until they can free themselves.
These poles have a resilience equal to 10 + caster level, and 50 Hp each. If used against a single target, they work together as a single object with resilience of 20 + caster level, with 75 hp.
These poles last until the caster wishes to dispel them or they are destroyed.
Bakudo 77: Tenteikúra (Heavenly Void Net)
[Evocation]
Incantation: "Black and white net. Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns and belts. Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, engulfing land, hidden in the night, sea of clouds, blue line. Form a circle and fly though the heavens."
Level: Bakudo 7
Range: Extreme (see below)
Target: Burst
Casting Time: 1 ½ rounds
Duration: Instant
save: Will (harmless)
Spell resistance: no (harmless)
The practitioner draws the symbols of the incantation on their arms, hands and the surrounding area whilst chanting. At the climax of the incantation, the practitioner thrust their hands ahead of them, where a mirror of light forms.
This spell allows the caster to instantly send a telegraphic message to every creature in range with an intelligence greater than 3. this message can be of any length, and the caster can also transmit any image reflected in the mirror. The caster can choose to exclude people in the vicinity from hearing so long as they are familiar with their spiritual pressure. They can also seclude areas
Alternatively, the spell can be used to forge a telepathic bond with creatures that the caster is familiar with the spiritual pressure of. This link can be forged with 1 other creature, and another creature per 2 caster levels.
This spell effects an area of 1000ft, plus 100 ft per caster level.
This spell cannot have metakido applied to it, nor can it be cast by skipping the incantation
Bakudo 79: Kuyó Shibari (Nine-Daylight Bonds)
[Conjuration, Darkness]
Incantation: Unknown
Level: Bakudo 7
Range: Medium (100 ft + caster level * 10 ft
Target: single
Casting Time: standard
Duration: 1 hour/level
save: Reflex
Spell resistance: yes
As the practitioner completes the hand seals, eight large wells of endless darkness form around the target. When the target is entirely surrounded, a ninth void forms in the centre, sealing their fate.
The target is entitled to a reflex save to avoid the effect of this spell. If the target fails their save, then they are captured by the intense gravity of the spell. They are unable to perform any actions whatsoever until the spell ends, other than talk.
Bakudo 81: Dankú (Severing Void)
[Conjuration]
Incantation: Unknown
Level: Bakudo 8
Range: Close (30 ft + caster level * 5)
Target: Wall 4 ft/level wide, 2f/level high
Casting Time: standard
Duration: 10 minutes/level
save: none
Spell resistance: no
The caster conjures a transparent wall of force, with a six-pointed star in the centre. The wall only stops spiritual energy; physical matter may pass strait through it. However, to spiritual energy, the wall in entirely solid, and almost impossible to overcome. Any kido of 8th level or lower, or any effect that uses 15 or less SEP (including dispelling attempts) as a base resource is prevented entirely by the wall. Creatures with beneficial buffs that would be stopped by this wall can pass through, but they have their abilities dispelled.
The wall also stops any SEP assisted movement, such as shunpo/shunko; the character merely hits the wall at a very high speed.
Any activated Shikai, fullbring or quincy bow from a character with an effective level of 15 or less is also unable to pass through the wall, as are any effects of these abilitites (such as a prismatic sphere/created water etc). Inner bow (quincy), fullbring evolution (fullbringer), ressureción (arrancar) and Bankai are all powerful enough to pass through the wall, but are subject to the effect below.
An effect strong enough to overcome the wall can still be disrupted by it. The creature that used this attack must make a will save, or have the effect weaken. This counts at the caster having spent 8 less SEP/8 level levels lower for the effect. In the case of sustained abilities, the creature sustaining the ability may instead make either a will or fortitude save, or have half of the abilitites duration removed.
Special: the caster may use this ability incantation-less as a reaction. This consumes their standard action for the next round. If they have the incanting ability (most likely for an activated shikai), they can cast this spell with the incantation as a reaction. This still consumes their standard action for the next round, but it is cast at full caster level
Bakudo 99: Bankin (Great Seal)
[Conjuration]
Incantation: "First Song - Halting wrap" "Second Song - Hundred Serial Bolts")"Final Song - Full Ban Great Mount”
Level: Bakudo 9
Range: Long (100 ft + caster level * 20
Target: One or multiple targets. Each target must be within 30 feet of each other
Casting Time: 3 * 1 round (see below)
Duration: Special (see below)
save: special (see below)
Spell resistance: special (see below)
This unique spell is the most potent of all the sealing arts. This spell consists of three parts, each of which is cast as a separate spell, and each must be cast again in order. Any metakido applied to one part of the spell must be applied to the other two parts.
If, for any reason, the caster takes any action other than continuing the spell, or fails to cast one part, they cannot cast the next part without starting the process again.
None of these spells can be cast without the handseals/incantations
part one: Halting wrap:
The caster buries their fingers deep into the ground, suffusing it with spiritual energy, which burst forth in coils of white rope around the intended target. After entangling the target, numerous metal pegs descend from the sky to pin these threads tight to the ground, preventing escape. Each target is entitled to a reflex save to try and avoid the ropes. If they are successful, then they are entangled for D3 + 1 rounds; otherwise, they are entirely immobilized and unable to take any actions, other than attempt to break the thread. This is a DC 10 + caster level strength test that takes a full round action. The twisting ropes slowly get tighter and tighter, causing constrict damage each to caster level, and increasing their escape DC by 2, each round. After 5 rounds, the victim also starts to suffocate.
Each round a victim is entangled by these wraps, they must make a second reflex save, with -2 to the dc for each round since it was cast, or be fully captured as if they had failed the first reflex save.
Someone unaffected by the wraps can attempt to cut them. This requires a slashing weapon. The wraps have a resilience equal to twice caster level, and hp equal to 5 * caster level.
The wraps are immune to, and conduct, energy damage.
These wraps last until they are destroyed.
Second Song: Hundred serial Bolts:
The caster claps their hands together, and numerous razor sharp blades form in the air around the victims, before flying unerringly towards the wrappings. Here, they impale the victims body, rendering it inert and useless, as well as riddled with holes.
Each creature fully entangled by the 1st song is impaled by the flying knives, digging in deep to strike at the body's pressure points. They suffer 6d6 piercing damage, as well as 3d6 strength and dexterity damage. They are entitled to a fortitude save to reduce the piercing damage by half, and the ability damage to 2d6. A creature that fails two of these three fortitude saves also has it's Rietsu flow sealed; it is unable to use any spiritual power for 3d6 hours.
A creature that was merely entangled by the ropes suffers the 6d6 piercing damage, but are entitled to either a reflex or fortitude save for half, whichever is higher. They suffer no ability damage.
Third Song: Full ban great mount
To end the spell, the caster raises their hands above their head, and a vast stone pillar forms above each captive, which then slams down on the sealed victim, before alighting with spiritual energy and forming the final seal.
Each creature that had it's rietsu sealed by the second song, and that is disabled by the first song, is forced to take a will save, with the DC increased by 1 for each 10 SEP the caster has remaining. If they fail, they are sealed by the spell. They are frozen in time, and completely severed from the rest of existence. The method to unseal them is up to your DM.
Because this fragment of the spell warps space/time, it is forbidden by soul society.
Casting this spell drains the casters current SEP to 0, regardless of any other factors. Ever. Even if you have unlimited SEP, it's now 0. you still recover it in the normal way
Hádo
Hádo 01: Shó (clash)
A beam of force shoots out of the casters fingers, forcing the target away from the shinigami
[force]
incantation: currently unkown
level: shinigami 1
save: no
spell resistance no
range: medium (100 ft + 10 ft * caster level)
targets: 1 object
duration: instant
casting time: standard
normal This spell creates a burst of force that the user can manipulate for a numer of purpouses. the wave of force has an effective strength of 10 + caster level + Kido stat.
when used against an object/willing creature, this works like pushing/pulling or lifting something normally, save it uses the strength listed above instead of the casters strength score, and it can be done at range. if the user chose to lift the target, then they can choose to maintain the spell for an extra SEP per turn.
this spell can also be used to make a ranged bullrush attack with the beam of force working like a medum sized creature. The target is knocked either directly away from the caster, or directly towards them. they move 5 ft for every point they failed the opposed strength test by.
Boosted the boosted version of the spell unleashes numerous lines of force, as opposed to just one. they can target a number of objects/creatures equal to 1/2 their caster level, to a maximum of 5
Hádo 04: Byakurai (White Thunder)
The caster shoots a bolt of white lightning from their finger tip
[electricity]

normal a powerful line of electricity shoots out from the caster's fingertips, dealing d6 lightning damage per manifester level, to a maximum of 5d6, and a range of 20 feet per manifester level
Boosted: the lightning becomes much more wild and untamed. as well as traveling in a line, it will jump to any nearby victims once it first makes impact. After the line hits a target, it begins to arc. this hits a target within 10 ft of the origional impact point, and deals 1d6 less damage, as well as the reflex save dc being reduced by 2. this bolt will continue to arc until there are no more targets within 10 ft of the last victim, the save DC falls below 10, or the damage becomes 0. a target cannot take damage from this spell more than once per turn.
Hádo 11: Tsuzuri Raiden (bound lightning)

If used against an enemy, this ability deals 1d6 + 1 lightning damage per caster level, to a maximum of 5d6 + 5. in addition, so long as whatever is touched could reasonabily channel electricity, everything else in contact with the item or enemy takes 1d4 damage per caster level to a maximum of 5d4, though they can attempt to avoid this fully with a dc (10 + caster level + cha modifier) reflex save so long as they could get away from the source of the shock. the damage dealt is empowered if the target is wearing metal armour, or grappled/entangeled by whatever the shinigami touched origionally
Boosted: the potency of the shock is increased enough to temporarily paralyze the victim. anything that takes damage from Tsuzuri Raiden must then pass a dc (10 + 1/2 caster level + cha modifier) fortitude save or be paralyzed for one round, and stunned for 1/2 caster level rounds. Creatures that pass the fortitude save are instead stunned for 1/4 caster level rounds
Hádo 12: Fushibi (lain fire/ambush flare)
the caster creates a sphere of energy that latches onto the victim. this sphere reacts to reitsu, and explodes violently when it senses any
[fire]
Incantation: unknown

target single
save:reflex for half
duration 1/2 caster level rounds
casting time: standard
normal: The catser makes a ranged touch attack against the chosen target. if sucesfull, the sphere of energy attatches to them, ready to blow. if the victim is hit by another Kido spell before the flare dissipates, then the flare explodes, dealing d6 fire damage per caster level, to a maximum of 5d6, to everyone in a 10 ft radius of the sphere. there is also a small chance that the flare will activate when the victim utilizes spiritual energy. whenever they'd use SEP, they must pass a suppres a reitsu test with a DC euqal to 1/2 the SEP used, or provoke the explosion
boosted the boosted sphere has a much greater radius, increasing to 20 ft. in addition, the maximum damage raises to 6d6 as opposed to 5d6

boosted instead of firing as an orb, the energy bursts forward from the casters hand in a pillar of destruction. the attack becomes a line with a radius equal to 1/2 caster level * 5 that extendeds for the full 100 ft. in adidition, the maximum damage is increased to 12d6 as opposed to 10d6
Hádo 32: Ókasen (yellow fire flash)
The Shinigami raises their hand or blade, and a widening yellow orb is formed. the orb then burst forward into an arcing lightning bolt, much like Byakurai, but more intensive
[lightning]
incantation: Currently Unknown

targets: Line/Cone
duration: instant
casting time: standard
spell resistance: yes
normal: You release a powerful stroke of electrical energy that deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum 10d6) to each creature within its area. The bolt begins at your fingertips.
Alternativley, you can choose to channel the spell as a 60 foot cone. this option requires the user to have access to their sword to direct the energy, so if their zankaputo is out of their hand, or destoyed/missing the blade in any way, you can only use this spell as a line
The lightning bolt sets fire to combustibles and damages objects in its path. It can melt metals with a low melting point, such as lead, gold, copper, silver, or bronze. If the damage caused to an interposing barrier shatters or breaks through it, the bolt may continue beyond the barrier.
Boosted: The damage of the spell is increased to 1d6 + 1 per caster level, and the maximum is increased to 1d12 + 12. in addition, the range of the spell is increased by an extra 50%
Hádo 33: Sókatsui (pale fire crash)
The caster creates an attack simmilar in form to Shakkaó, which then splits into a number of smaller lines of blinding energy that crush the target in a cascade of destruction
[fire, light]

casting time: standard
spell resistance: yes
normal: The caster fires a ray or burning light, and an additional ray for every 3 levels beyound 5. Each ray is a ranged touch attack that deals 4d6 damage, increased to d6d versus undead.
Alternitavely, the blindingly bright ray can be used to light the shinigami's path. The shinigami can choose to target any patch of darkness, as opposed to a character. this functions like a daylight spell cast at the specific location, though the duration is changed from 10 minutes per level to rounds per level.
Boosted: The energy orb splits into a much greater arc of beams. An aditional ray is added for every 2 levels over 5, as opposed to one every 3 levels
Hádo 54: Haien (Abolishing flames)

Any creature struck by the ray takes 2d6 points of fire damage per caster level (to a maximum of 30d6). Any creature reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by this spell is incinerated entierly, leaving behind only a pile of burnt ashes.
Anything hit by the blast may make a fortitude save to reduce the damage to 1/4
When used against a non-living target, it incinerates a 10 foot cube of flamable material, regardless of the actual melting point
Boosted: The area of the blast is increased to a widening blast, incinerating more victims. If the ray hits, then every creature within 5* 1/2 caster level feet is effected as well, and the save only reduces the damage to 1/2. When used against objects, this causes destruction in a 10 foot cube per 2 caster levels
Hádo 58: Tenran (Orchid Sky)
[Air]
Incantation: Currently Unkown
level: shinigami 5
Range: 50 ft cone
Target: cone

casting time standard
normal The shinigami generates a widening huricane from either their blade or their palm, and unleash it in the direction of their choice.
every creature in the cone suffers 1d6 air damage per caster level, and must pass a fortitude save, or be blown back 10 feet for each size catagory they are below large. flying creatures, and those smaller than small are far more succeptable to the strong winds, and suffer 2d6 damage per level. Flying creatures, as they have no way to brace themselves, auotomatically fail the fortitude save.
In addition, every creature affected by the huricane suffers the effect of the gust of wind spell. creatures that pass the fortitude save suffer half damage.
boosted By imbuing the winds created with more power, the shinigami can allow it to continue moving of it;s own accord.
After it's creation, the huricane continues to move until the energy that created it disipates.
The cone's size is increased by 5 feet per caster level, and the DC of the fortidue save is increased by 1 for every 2 caster levels, for both the main effect and the gust of wind effect
the cone moves 30 feet in the direction it was aimed in each of your following turns, however, as the energy ebs away, the size of the cone is reduced by 10 ft per round. this increases the duration to a number of rounds equal to 1/2 caster level
Hádo 63: Raikóhó (thuder roar sear)
[lightning]
Incantation: "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle!"

duration instant
save: reflex for half
spell resistance: yes
casting time standard
normal The shinigami generates a massive ammount of lightning in the palm of their hand, before launching it at their target, where it explodes with devestating efect. Choose either an enemy in range, or one point (both height and location). a bolt of energy streaks towards this target, and explodes when it reaches it - or if it hits anything solid before it reaches the intended target. Anything in the centre of the explosion takes 1d6 lightning damage per caster level to a maximum of 20d6. everything else in the radius of the blast suffers 1d6 lightning damage per caster level to a maximum level of 10d6.
boosted the shinigami launches the lightning energy into the sky, where it strikes down indirectly to incinerate the target. the damage for the main target is increased to 2d6 per level. in addition, due to the change in targeting method, the range is changed to long, and the caster can choose to have the lightning bolt originate form their hand, or from directly above the target

normal The practitioner raises their right arm foward and outstretched, occasionally using their left hand to grip the right arm for extra support, with the palm facing toward the target flat toward the opponent and fires a gigantic beam of electrical and spiritual energy resulting in a truly enormous explosion.
The caster chooses a direction, and the blast of energy extends in that direction hitting anything in it's path. If the beam encounters an obstacle larger than the radium of the beam, it stops unless it can destroy the obstacle.
Anything hit by the beam suffers 1d6 + 2 damage per caster level, to a maximum of of 20d6 + 24 damage. this damage is 1/2 lightning, and 1/2 spiritual. the target can take a reflex save to attempt to reduce the damage to 1/2. the sheer force of the blast can leave the caster stunned, and they must make a sucesfull dc 18 fortitude save or become stunned for a round. failure by more than 5 means the caster is instead knocked down
boosted the sheer destructive force of the beam becomes the stuff of legends, eaisly capable of reducing anything in it's path to rubble.
the radius of the beam is increased to 40 ft, and the damage caused is increased to 2d6 + 2 per level. the backforce of the boosted spell is increased as well, however, increasing the DC of the fortitude save to 23.

When the coffin fades, the victim must make a fortitude test to avoid being rendered unconcious from the shock.
If cast with the full incantation, then the spell takes the form not of an insubstantial black box, but a pilar of solid, physical energy. the box encloses the target and prevents any movement from the victim. This functions as the previous version, however, the victim is also locked within the coffin. they continue to suffer 1d6 per caster level gravity damage each round until they escape. characters in the coffin, and they begin to suffocate aas the air within the coffin runs out. the coffin is an object with a hardness of 5 and 50 hp.
Hádo 91: Senjú Kóten Taihó (Thousand-hand bright heaven-culling spear)
[Light, force]
Incantation: "Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired"

any foe hit by 3 or more spears is hit by a radius 20 burst explosion causing 2d6 force damage for each spear hit. the victims of this explosion can make a reflex save to reduce the damage by half.
Hádo 94: Ittó Kasó (lone blade cremation)
[fire]
Incantation: None - the cost for Ittó Kadó is much steeper
level: 9
Range: short
Target: 40 ft wdth line
save: none
spell resistance: no
duration: instant
casting time: standard action
normal: Ittó Kató is a spell of sacrifice, a forbidden Hadó with near unmatched damage potential. The caster must sacrifice one of their limbs as the cost for the spell. The spell creates a pillar of fire in the shape of a katana's tip
Anything caught in the blade suffers 2d6 damage per caster level, with no maximum limit, even more so, the nature of the flames means it ignores any fire resistance, immunity or absorption and the miss chance against cncorporeal foes. the speed at which the blade manifests means that no save is possible against the damage - however, a creature capable of teleporting as a reaction can teleport out of the radius, and thus suffer half damage.
Even the caster's limb is not enough to pay to the ravenous flames - they also suffer damage equal to half the damage from the flame.
anything killed by the flames in incinerated imediatly, and will require a true resurection or a whish spell to revive.
Alternatley, Ittó Kató can be boosted in a fashion. using the spell in this manner consumes the caster's life, imediatly incinerating their corpse and increasing the damage dice by an ammount equal to the casters own hit dice.

this thread is just used to hold the kidoey stuff so far, so it doen't get bogged down and lost in a topic or chased off the front page. if you want to comment, come to this thread
Kido:
Kido, or the demon arts, is the school of magic taught to shinigami to aid them in their duties. Kido is cast through the use of complex hand sytmbols and incantation.
Kido is split into three schools: Hádo - the destructive arts - Bakudo - this binding arts - and the healing arts. Hádo and Bakudo coonsistt of 99 spells, each with their own name and number. Healing spells, however, have neither a name nor an incantation.
Casting Kido
To cast a Kido spell, the shinigami has to spend Spirirtual Energy Points (or SEP) from their pool. the cost of each level of spell is shown in table 1.
All Kido is cast spontaniously,with no need for preperation, so long as the shinigami has enough SEP to cast it.
All Hádo and Bakudo spells have both a somatic and a vocal component (incantation and hand seals) and unless otherwise stated, casting a Hado/Bakudo spell is a full round action that provokes an atack of oportunity. It is possible to cast a Kido spell without the incantation etc, but it comes at a cost. Casting like this is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of oportunity, but the spell is cast at 1/2 caster level.
Healing spells are designed for speed and efficiency. these have no incantations or hand seals, and are cast as a standard action at full caster level.
There are also unclassified spells. the exact casting details, time and cost are given in the spell description
Spell Level | cost |
1 | 1 |
2 | 3 |
3 | 5 |
4 | 7 |
5 | 9 |
6 | 11 |
7 | 13 |
8 | 15 |
9 | 17 |
Augmenting Incantations
as well as the standard way of casting kido spells, it is possible to enhance them by spending extra SEP, such as metakido feats etc. A shinigami can spend an number of extra SEP equal to their caster level on each spell as augmentations. A warrior shinigami can only spend 1/2 their caster level on augmentations.
Incantationless Kido can also be augmented, but every shinigami except for a Kido Shinigami must pay twice as many points per augmentation on an incantationless Kido spell (unless it was made incantationless through feats/augmentation/zankaputo abilities etc)
optional rule: Included in some of the Kido spells is a boosted version. if you want Kido in your game to be more highly powered, then any shinigami can cast the boosted version of the spells they know for an extra 4 SEP. spells cast like this take a full round action, and then a standard action.
If you want Kido in you're game to be much more powerful, consider having the listed standard effect be the effect for skipping the incantation instead of 1/2 caster level, and the boosted version to be the effect of speaking the full incantation.
Maintaining a spell
some spells can be maintained, for the cost listed. the spell stays in effect until it is negated by an outside force, the shinigami stops paying to maintain it, or they cast another spell. in addition, whenever a shinigami takes damage, they must pass a dc (10 + level of spell maintaiend + number of rounds maintained) concentration test or the spell ends.
Kido Feats
Twin Incantation
Metakido
The shinigami channels two spells together at once, mixing the incantations and hand symbols. not only is this effective, it is also very hard to counter due to being unable to precicely determine the spell being cast.
the caster uses 2 spells as a standard action, rather than one. Both spells are cast as if the caster skipped the incantation. The caster chooses which order the spells take effect, and both spells must have the same target(s). this costs as much as casting the two spells together, + an extra 4 SEP for each spell (though it only counts as 4 points of augmentation, and the cost is not increased further because the spell is being cast without the incantation).
In addition, due to the mixed nature of the spell and seals, the dc to identify the spell is increased by 10
examples: Mixing Hado 12: fushibi with any other Hado spell will produce a very large bang, or mixing Tszuiri raiden with a Bakudo to trap the victim will not only bind them, but increase the damage and stun the target temporarily
Merged Incantations
Metakido
prerequisites: Twin Incantation, level 7 kido
This is an improved version of the twin incantation method. it creates not a half effect from each spell, but their full effect.
This functions as the twin Kido metakido feat above, however, both spells are cast at full power (and can be boosted together for a 1.5 round casting if that rule is in use). this costs an extra 10 SEP per spell (though it only counts as 10 sep for the maximum augmentation limit)
False incantations
Metakido
The shinigami has become addept at masking their spell behind incorrect incantations, false hand symbols and - in some cases - even using simple conversation as the incantation.
this costs 2 extra SEP for any spell that does not have a reflex save, and an extra 3 SEP for every spell that does. the DC to detect the spell being cast is increased by 10, and the DC of any reflex save is increased by 2. this can only be used on a spell cast with the incantation.
Kido Focus
Prerequisites: able to cast spells of the chosen discipline
Choose one kido discipline (Hádo, Bakudo, Healing), Your caster level is assumed to be 1 higher for the purpose of casting spells from the chosen discipline
Kido Dedication
Prerequisites: Kido focus with the chosen school
You can cast spells of the selected school without the incantation at your full caster level, instead of half caster level.
Restorative Bindings
Metakido
Prerequisites: Kido focus (healing)
When you use a Bakudo, you can choose to make it so anyone inside the spell gains fast healing equal to 1 + the highest level of healing spell you can cast. this increases the number of powerpoints needed for the spell by 2. This costs an Aditional 2 SEP
Destructive Bindings
Metakido
Prerequisites: Kido focus (Hádo)
When you use a Bakudo, you can choose to make it so anyone inside the spell suffers untyped damage each round equal to 1 + the highest level of Hádo you can cast. This costs an aditional 2 SEP
Kido strike
Metakido
Prerequisites: Able to cast spells
Whenever you make a melee attack, you can choose to use this ability. You can bind one touch range/single target kido spell you know into part of the attack. If the attack hits, the targets suffers the effect of the spell as well as the attack. this consumes your swift action for the turn, and costs an aditional 4 sep. this cost is not increased because the spell is cast incantationless.

Effect: the caster draws a symbol in the air, which glows briefly with bright red light. The light then surrounds the caster and the target, locking them in place, in a battle of wills to maintain or break the shield
As soon as the spell is cast, the target of the spell can make a reflex save. If they succeed, nothing happens. If they fail, then they are stunned the next round, and maybe for longer. Each round after the first, the Target and the caster make an opposed strength test; if the victim wins, the spell ends and they are free; otherwise, they are immobilized for another round. The caster can choose whether to use their strength or caster level for this test.
However, holding the foe like this comes at a price. The energy surrounds the caster as well, locking them in place. As long as they sustain the spell, they too are immobilized.
Bakudo 10: Hórin (disintegrating circle)
incantation: Unknown
[conjuration, Illusion (mind effecting)]

Target one creature
duration: 1 minute/caster level
Saving throw: Yes, will reduces effect
spell resistance: Yes
Effect the caster creates a line of golden rope that shoots from her fingertips in much the same manner as Hainawa, but more focused. The user can direct the rope of light towards their target, and can seer it to avoid obstacles. They can also set up the rope as a trip-wire or trap.
Anyone touched by the ropes is caught, and the rope connects to them so long as they stay within range of the caster/rope location. This rope does not impair movement or action, but it does shed the same amount of light as a torch. The rope is as strong as a length of fine steel chain, and can be used to pull willing targets. Targets connected by the rope can communicate through it like a telepathic bond
In addition to that effect, the rope can also be used to capture and restrain the victim. If the caster wills it, they must make a will save each round the rope stays connected to them, or be fascinated for 1d4 rounds. Two consecutively successful will saves causes the rope to detach. A fascinated victim is always considered willing to be moved with the rope.
The caster generates an additional rope for every 4 caster levels they possess, up to a maximum of 4 as caster level 13.

the practitioner raises their hand, and a sphere of red mist forms in it. They then thow this orb to the ground at their feet, where it explodes into a cloud of blinding smoke. It is stationary once created. The Mist obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has total concealment. The caster always knows where the smoke ends.
A moderate wind (11+ mph), such as from a gust of wind spell, disperses the fog in 4 rounds. A strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round. A fireball, flame strike, or similar spell burns away the fog in the explosive or fiery spell’s area. A wall of fire burns away the fog in the area into which it deals damage.

Forming a golden triangle with one's finger, it shoots three beams of light that pin the target to one place on a surface, slamming into his or her body in three places in a shape of an equilateral triangle.
The subject must pass a reflex save or be paralysed and held in place by the beams of light, and pushed away from the caster to the maximum range of the spell, or until they hit another creature or object that could reasonably stop them. If they hit an object, the creature suffers 1d6 bludgeoning damage for each 10ft they moved, to a minimum of 1d6
A trapped creature must pass either a dc 10+caster level strength test, or a dc15 + caster level escape artist test to escape, which takes a standard action. The binds can also be damaged; they have a resilience of ½ caster level (minimum 3) and 20 hit points
Bakudo 37: Tsuriboshi (hanging star)
Incantation: Unknown

Target Burst (caster level * 5 ft radius)
Duration: 1 min per caster level
Save: none (see below)
Spell resistance: no
The practitioner creates an orb of spiritual energy, which erupts in a number of springs that latch on to the surrounding area, creating a web or net that is used primarily to catch.
When cast, it creates a net of spiritual energy with a total area of 5ft per caster level vertically or horizontally. At least two sides of the net must be in contact with a solid object, or the net will fall to the ground (see below)
The net is a solid object of light, and provides a stable footing for creatures to stand on. Due to the design of the net, the caster may decide if creatures falling onto it suffer falling damage. The caster can also decide what can pass through the net, and what cannot.
The net has a resilience equal to caster level (minimum of 3, maximum of 10) and 20 hp. Due to the springy design of the net, it's resilience is doubled against bludgeoning damage. When casting the spell, the caster can choose to sacrifice area to increase the resistance, at a rate of 5 hp and 1 resilience per 5 feet sacrificed.
The caster is automatically aware of every creature touching the net
If the net falls on a creature, it functions like a web spell, save the net retains it's normal resilience and hp

Spell resistance: no (harmless)
The practitioners raises their hand or weapon before them, twirling it round as a spark of dull yellow light form. This becomes a circular shield that dulls an enemies strike, protecting the user.
This spell creates a shield of energy that protects the user. Pick a direction, the shield increases the users AC by their caster level (maximum 10), and grants concealment 5 per caster level (maximum 50%) from all attacks from that direction
The shield is also designed to neutralise energy-based attacks of the same intensity or less. The shield prevents and level 3 or lower Kido from the chosen direction. It also negates 5d6 damage from an area effect (line/cone/burst), and any secondary effects. If the effect is entirely negated, then it's progression stops past the caster (though a burst/cone will continue spreading, save for a direct line from the user to the shield will be unaffected) if the shield is used to block an attack like this, it does not provide the AC/concealment bonus this turn as it's energy is used negating the attack
Special: This spell can be cast incantationless as a reaction. It counts as using the standard action for the next round
Bakudo 58: Kakushitsuijaku (Summoning of the tracking sparrow)
Incantation: "Heart of the south, eye of the north, finger of the west, foot of the east, arrive with the wind and depart with the rain."
[conjuration, Divination]
Level 05
Range: Personal
Target Self
Duration: Instant/sustained
Casting time: 2 rounds
Save: will
Spell resistance: yes
Kakushituikaku is primarily used for tracking and locating any spiritual force the user focuses on. The practitioner draws a circle with the appropriate symbols set apart in four quadrants upon the ground using a black powder. They then place their hands palm down just under the circle to activate the spell. The circle glows with a blue light as the symbols are animated within the circle, causing various numbers to appear within until the specific set is found.
This spell gives the exact co-ordinates of a target you know the spiritual pressure of well (known for a long time etc). If you are less familiar with the person, it requires a DC (10 + target's suppress reitsu) sense motive test. If all you know of the person is a name, description or a brief flash of reistsu then the DC is doubled. The target of the spell is allowed a will save to detect they are being spied on.
The caster of this spell can choose to sustain this spell. If so, the co-ordinates constantly update so long as the target stays on the same plane of existence. They are allowed a further will save every minute if they did not initially detect the scrying.
This spell cannot detect someone actively suppressing their resitsu. This spell cannot be cast by skipping the incantation; it must be cast at it's full time. Metakido cannot be applied to this spell (no fell-draining with scrying. That's wrong on all levels possible...)
Bakudo 61: Rikujōkōrō (Six rods prison of light)
Incantation: “Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six“

Target One creature
Duration: 1 minute/level
Casting time: standard
Save: will negates
Spell resistance: yes
The practitioner points his/her index finger at the target generating a spark of yellow energy. That energy summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's midsection, holding them in place. The target is then unable to move any part of their body including the parts that were not struck by the beams
The victim is paralysed and freezes in place. It is unable to move any part of it's body or act, but it can still speak. A victim is allowed a further save each and every minute to break free of the binding, or each round if it suffered damage since the last round.
A flying creature cannot flap it's wings, and a swimming creature cannot continue swimming. This causes the expected consequences.
Special: this spell can be cast on a target entangled with another Bakudo spell incantationless without halfing your caster level. This consumes the other Bakudo effect

Casting time: standard
Save: reflex negates
Spell resistance: no
A rod formed of energy is thrown towards the target before it disintegrates into numerous short rods . These rods speed forward, impaling and propelling everything in their path and pinning them together, ready to be annihilated.
Each creature in the cone must pass a reflex save or be caught in the spell. Creatures caught are propelled backwards to the maximum range of the spell, or until they hit something that would reasonably stop them. Size has no effect on saving themselves from the spell, such is the power of the rods.
If the creature caught in this hits another creature or object, both suffers d6 points of damage for each 5 feet it has moved, to a maximum of 10d6
Creatures effected by the spell are paralysed, though they can still speak. Each round, a creature trapped may make a dc 15 + caster level strength test, or a dc 20 + caster level escape artist test. These binds can also be destroyed. They have a resilience equal to caster level (minimum 6) and 20 HP. Each creature must be freed independently.

Bakudo 63: Sajó Sabuka (Chainlink chain bonds)
Incantation: Unknown
[conjuration]
Level 06
Range: Medium (100 ft + 5* caster level)
Target One or many. All targets must be within 30 ft of each other
Duration: 1 minute/level
Casting time: standard
Save: reflex negates
Spell resistance: no
The practitioner gestures towards their intended target, and numerous links of heavy chains burst forth, that wrap around the intended target and begin to constrict.
Each victim is entitled to a reflex save to try and escape the effect. If they fail, then they are grappled and stunned by the spell. Each round, the victims of the spell can attempt to escape it as though they where escaping a grapple, with the chains having an effective strength of 15 + caster level. The chains count as a medium creature for this purpose.
The chains slowly but surely tighten around their victims, so long as the caster wills it. This is a constrict attack that deals damage equal to caster level + rounds entangled to each entangled creature.
The chains may be broken, however there is a risk. The chain has a resilience equal to caster level (minimum 6) and 20 hp. All links of chain after the break (calculated from the central target) fall inert, but those before the break remain active. However, there is a chance that the constantly shifting chains manage to snare and entangle the attacker, and they must make a reflex save to avoid this if the attack was made at close range. Due to the moving nature of the chains, all attacks made from over 30 ft away have a 50% chance of hitting the creature entangled instead.
The caster may choose to keep hold of a link of the chain. If his link of chain is broken, however, all other links of the chain go inert
The chain conducts electricity, and are undamaged by it.

The caster ignites a single point of light, which then splits and forms into a pyramid shape. The pyramid is mostly used for defence, but it can also be used to trap a target, or to hold something in place.
Designate a starting point somewhere within range. From that point upwards, an inverted pyramid is created with a height equal to caster level * 5 ft. this them forms into four solid walls, with 50 hp and a resilience equal to caster level (minimum 7). The created pyramid repairs any damage to itself in each of the caster's turn, until the duration ends. The inner walls are much more fragile, and have half that resilience and HP
the walls are transparent, and anyone can see through them (with a minor blue-ish tinge), though they stop all projectile attacks that strike them and does not destroy them. Sound travels feely through the walls
Bakudo 75: Gochútekkan (Five Post Iron Weights)

The casters clasps their hands together as if praying, and five small orbs of light form and circle them. As the caster raises their hands above their head, the lights form a spinning halo, before dispersing. When the caster slams their hands down, and the lights form into 5 incredibly large Iron Pillars, linked together by lengths of chain.
The caster selects where the 5 Pillars come down. No one pillar can be more than 10 feet from another Pillar. Each Pillar is 5 feet wide, 5 feet long, and Caster level * 5 feet high. A creature is a square a Pillar comes down in can take a reflex save to avoid being hit by the pillar. A creature that fails this reflex save suffers 6d6 bludgeoning damage and is knocked down. They are unable to get up or move until they can get the pillar off of them/turn intangible/teleport etc. They suffer a further 6d6 bludgeoning damage a round.
The crushing pressure of these posts is enough that they can break through objects with a hardness lower than or equal to their resilience without slowing down
Alternatively, this spell can be used to create 5 thinner, targeted spears at one specific target. This target must make a reflex save be knocked down, pinned in place, and suffer 10d6 bludgeoning damage, and another 10d6 each turn until they can free themselves.
These poles have a resilience equal to 10 + caster level, and 50 Hp each. If used against a single target, they work together as a single object with resilience of 20 + caster level, with 75 hp.
These poles last until the caster wishes to dispel them or they are destroyed.

The practitioner draws the symbols of the incantation on their arms, hands and the surrounding area whilst chanting. At the climax of the incantation, the practitioner thrust their hands ahead of them, where a mirror of light forms.
This spell allows the caster to instantly send a telegraphic message to every creature in range with an intelligence greater than 3. this message can be of any length, and the caster can also transmit any image reflected in the mirror. The caster can choose to exclude people in the vicinity from hearing so long as they are familiar with their spiritual pressure. They can also seclude areas
Alternatively, the spell can be used to forge a telepathic bond with creatures that the caster is familiar with the spiritual pressure of. This link can be forged with 1 other creature, and another creature per 2 caster levels.
This spell effects an area of 1000ft, plus 100 ft per caster level.
This spell cannot have metakido applied to it, nor can it be cast by skipping the incantation

As the practitioner completes the hand seals, eight large wells of endless darkness form around the target. When the target is entirely surrounded, a ninth void forms in the centre, sealing their fate.
The target is entitled to a reflex save to avoid the effect of this spell. If the target fails their save, then they are captured by the intense gravity of the spell. They are unable to perform any actions whatsoever until the spell ends, other than talk.
Bakudo 81: Dankú (Severing Void)
[Conjuration]
Incantation: Unknown
Level: Bakudo 8
Range: Close (30 ft + caster level * 5)
Target: Wall 4 ft/level wide, 2f/level high
Casting Time: standard
Duration: 10 minutes/level
save: none
Spell resistance: no
The caster conjures a transparent wall of force, with a six-pointed star in the centre. The wall only stops spiritual energy; physical matter may pass strait through it. However, to spiritual energy, the wall in entirely solid, and almost impossible to overcome. Any kido of 8th level or lower, or any effect that uses 15 or less SEP (including dispelling attempts) as a base resource is prevented entirely by the wall. Creatures with beneficial buffs that would be stopped by this wall can pass through, but they have their abilities dispelled.
The wall also stops any SEP assisted movement, such as shunpo/shunko; the character merely hits the wall at a very high speed.
Any activated Shikai, fullbring or quincy bow from a character with an effective level of 15 or less is also unable to pass through the wall, as are any effects of these abilitites (such as a prismatic sphere/created water etc). Inner bow (quincy), fullbring evolution (fullbringer), ressureción (arrancar) and Bankai are all powerful enough to pass through the wall, but are subject to the effect below.
An effect strong enough to overcome the wall can still be disrupted by it. The creature that used this attack must make a will save, or have the effect weaken. This counts at the caster having spent 8 less SEP/8 level levels lower for the effect. In the case of sustained abilities, the creature sustaining the ability may instead make either a will or fortitude save, or have half of the abilitites duration removed.
Special: the caster may use this ability incantation-less as a reaction. This consumes their standard action for the next round. If they have the incanting ability (most likely for an activated shikai), they can cast this spell with the incantation as a reaction. This still consumes their standard action for the next round, but it is cast at full caster level
Bakudo 99: Bankin (Great Seal)
[Conjuration]
Incantation: "First Song - Halting wrap" "Second Song - Hundred Serial Bolts")"Final Song - Full Ban Great Mount”
Level: Bakudo 9
Range: Long (100 ft + caster level * 20
Target: One or multiple targets. Each target must be within 30 feet of each other
Casting Time: 3 * 1 round (see below)
Duration: Special (see below)
save: special (see below)
Spell resistance: special (see below)
This unique spell is the most potent of all the sealing arts. This spell consists of three parts, each of which is cast as a separate spell, and each must be cast again in order. Any metakido applied to one part of the spell must be applied to the other two parts.
If, for any reason, the caster takes any action other than continuing the spell, or fails to cast one part, they cannot cast the next part without starting the process again.
None of these spells can be cast without the handseals/incantations
part one: Halting wrap:
The caster buries their fingers deep into the ground, suffusing it with spiritual energy, which burst forth in coils of white rope around the intended target. After entangling the target, numerous metal pegs descend from the sky to pin these threads tight to the ground, preventing escape. Each target is entitled to a reflex save to try and avoid the ropes. If they are successful, then they are entangled for D3 + 1 rounds; otherwise, they are entirely immobilized and unable to take any actions, other than attempt to break the thread. This is a DC 10 + caster level strength test that takes a full round action. The twisting ropes slowly get tighter and tighter, causing constrict damage each to caster level, and increasing their escape DC by 2, each round. After 5 rounds, the victim also starts to suffocate.
Each round a victim is entangled by these wraps, they must make a second reflex save, with -2 to the dc for each round since it was cast, or be fully captured as if they had failed the first reflex save.
Someone unaffected by the wraps can attempt to cut them. This requires a slashing weapon. The wraps have a resilience equal to twice caster level, and hp equal to 5 * caster level.
The wraps are immune to, and conduct, energy damage.
These wraps last until they are destroyed.
Second Song: Hundred serial Bolts:
The caster claps their hands together, and numerous razor sharp blades form in the air around the victims, before flying unerringly towards the wrappings. Here, they impale the victims body, rendering it inert and useless, as well as riddled with holes.
Each creature fully entangled by the 1st song is impaled by the flying knives, digging in deep to strike at the body's pressure points. They suffer 6d6 piercing damage, as well as 3d6 strength and dexterity damage. They are entitled to a fortitude save to reduce the piercing damage by half, and the ability damage to 2d6. A creature that fails two of these three fortitude saves also has it's Rietsu flow sealed; it is unable to use any spiritual power for 3d6 hours.
A creature that was merely entangled by the ropes suffers the 6d6 piercing damage, but are entitled to either a reflex or fortitude save for half, whichever is higher. They suffer no ability damage.
Third Song: Full ban great mount
To end the spell, the caster raises their hands above their head, and a vast stone pillar forms above each captive, which then slams down on the sealed victim, before alighting with spiritual energy and forming the final seal.
Each creature that had it's rietsu sealed by the second song, and that is disabled by the first song, is forced to take a will save, with the DC increased by 1 for each 10 SEP the caster has remaining. If they fail, they are sealed by the spell. They are frozen in time, and completely severed from the rest of existence. The method to unseal them is up to your DM.
Because this fragment of the spell warps space/time, it is forbidden by soul society.
Casting this spell drains the casters current SEP to 0, regardless of any other factors. Ever. Even if you have unlimited SEP, it's now 0. you still recover it in the normal way

range: medium (100 ft + 10 ft * caster level)
targets: 1 object
duration: instant
casting time: standard
normal This spell creates a burst of force that the user can manipulate for a numer of purpouses. the wave of force has an effective strength of 10 + caster level + Kido stat.
when used against an object/willing creature, this works like pushing/pulling or lifting something normally, save it uses the strength listed above instead of the casters strength score, and it can be done at range. if the user chose to lift the target, then they can choose to maintain the spell for an extra SEP per turn.
this spell can also be used to make a ranged bullrush attack with the beam of force working like a medum sized creature. The target is knocked either directly away from the caster, or directly towards them. they move 5 ft for every point they failed the opposed strength test by.

If used against an enemy, this ability deals 1d6 + 1 lightning damage per caster level, to a maximum of 5d6 + 5. in addition, so long as whatever is touched could reasonabily channel electricity, everything else in contact with the item or enemy takes 1d4 damage per caster level to a maximum of 5d4, though they can attempt to avoid this fully with a dc (10 + caster level + cha modifier) reflex save so long as they could get away from the source of the shock. the damage dealt is empowered if the target is wearing metal armour, or grappled/entangeled by whatever the shinigami touched origionally
Boosted: the potency of the shock is increased enough to temporarily paralyze the victim. anything that takes damage from Tsuzuri Raiden must then pass a dc (10 + 1/2 caster level + cha modifier) fortitude save or be paralyzed for one round, and stunned for 1/2 caster level rounds. Creatures that pass the fortitude save are instead stunned for 1/4 caster level rounds

Alternativley, you can choose to channel the spell as a 60 foot cone. this option requires the user to have access to their sword to direct the energy, so if their zankaputo is out of their hand, or destoyed/missing the blade in any way, you can only use this spell as a line
The lightning bolt sets fire to combustibles and damages objects in its path. It can melt metals with a low melting point, such as lead, gold, copper, silver, or bronze. If the damage caused to an interposing barrier shatters or breaks through it, the bolt may continue beyond the barrier.
Boosted: The damage of the spell is increased to 1d6 + 1 per caster level, and the maximum is increased to 1d12 + 12. in addition, the range of the spell is increased by an extra 50%

Boosted: The area of the blast is increased to a widening blast, incinerating more victims. If the ray hits, then every creature within 5* 1/2 caster level feet is effected as well, and the save only reduces the damage to 1/2.

Flying creatures, as they have no way to brace themselves, auotomatically fail the fortitude save.
In addition, every creature affected by the huricane suffers the effect of the gust of wind spell. creatures that pass the fortitude save suffer half damage.

Anything caught in the blade suffers 2d6 damage per caster level, with no maximum limit, even more so, the nature of the flames means it ignores any fire resistance, immunity or absorption and the miss chance against cncorporeal foes. the speed at which the blade manifests means that no save is possible against the damage - however, a creature capable of teleporting as a reaction can teleport out of the radius, and thus suffer half damage.
Even the caster's limb is not enough to pay to the ravenous flames - they also suffer damage equal to half the damage from the flame.
anything killed by the flames in incinerated imediatly, and will require a true resurection or a whish spell to revive.
