The Asakura Clan
I got inspiration for this from a challenge
Noritoshi Kamo stood still, witnessing the small, lifeless child - as he felt his soul entering a blank page. The man looked, as the child used another binding vow to specifically smile at the right time - but, grasping his hands together, he used a binding vow, "My output, other than this moment, will decrease exponentially for forty-eight hours," but then, he created another one, "I will never torture any soul again, until I find another body," and then - another one, and another one, and another one! After all of these, Noritoshi Kamo used some of the peaks of the Kamo Clan's Blood Manipulation in order to, by a skim, survive almost-determined death. He groaned.
Hell's Kiss
Biological Mutation
Hell's Kiss is a biological mutation similar to the Six Eyes mutation. The mutation increases the output of anything chanted by 200% (3x) without cost and the efficiency of anything chanted by 80% (1.8x.) These chants also affect the limit of binding vows, allowing the user to rig some binding vows to their favor through five "rounds" of chants.
For example,
"My cursed technique is Reflection, instead of being able to Reflect and counter slashes, I swap out this ability for a fire-based cursed technique which is .80x weaker."
"My cursed technique, Fictionalization, will be lost for the next two weeks. In exchange, I get a new one that perfectly counters my opponent, but the usage of it is significantly - by -100% (2x) - hindered."
These two binding vows would require their own chants, and, also, the negative effects of these vows are semi-negated by the biological ability itself.
For example (corresponding in order to the two previous statements:)
"Ounces of evaporation, Hell's friend, The origin of Man's power."
"[Description for how the counter reacts to its opposite, like fire evaporating water,] Hell's friend, [Historical/scientific description of the new technique.]"
These are just examples of the peak of this binding-vow abuse.
Asakura Clan
This mutation was a rare blessing among the sorcerers from the old, destroyed Asakura Clan. Originating from the Edo Period to the Meiji Era, the clan was utterly exterminated by Noritoshi Kamo after two decades of "hunting." Many Cursed Techniques from the Asakura Clan include:
- Reflection
- Organic Fire from Hell
- Cursed Energy Discharge Enhancement
- Fictionalization*
- Daisy's Bell
The clan housed many cursed objects, which were all stored by the sorcerer, Kenjaku, or lost to history. One of these cursed objects was a fragment of the Vengeful Cursed Spirit, Taira no Masakado, was found and stored in the island of Honshu - which is where the household of the Asakura Clan lived.
*Trust me bro this fits with the Asakura Clan's technique theme
Cursed Technique:
Reflection
Redirection is the cursed technique common in the ancient Asakura Clan. The technique allows the user to create a shield of cursed energy that, once hit, stores and copies an attack which is then aimed, and fired, back at the original "sender." This includes anything with cursed energy.
Cursed Technique:
Organic Fire from Hell
Organic Fire from Hell is a "hot!" technique that involuntarily transforms all used cursed energy into volatile "hellfire" which is used defensively and offensively. During this, the user is protected by a thin layer of cursed energy which protects them from burns. The hands are involuntarily the most volatile area, and usually "erupt" with cursed energy periodically, meanwhile, the feet can be chosen to have "discharges" of this fire-like cursed energy to allow for bursts in speed, flight, and more.
Cursed Technique:
Daisy's Bell
Daisy's Bell is a cursed technique which creates sounds that destroy cursed energy. These sounds are familiar to the chime of a loud bell, with some interpretations accounting for the fact that these sound like the mechanical "clanking" and "screeching" of gears in a machine - or specifically, the sounds of a large bicycle, almost as if its size was built for two.
Cursed Technique Reversal:
Daisy's Bell
The cursed technique reversal of Daisy's Bell uses reversed cursed energy to create a silent fire. This silent fire heals people by forcing their cursed energy to multiply on itself - but kills curses by removing their "matter" - as in their cursed energy. Some accounts say that the effect of this reversal is a being known as a "blessed spirit."
Cursed Technique:
Cursed Energy Discharge Enhancement
Cursed Energy Discharge Enhancement is an innate technique which was first used by Ryu Ishigori, who married into the clan later in his life. Although, this technique has never been optimized alike to Ryu Ishigori's power due to the fact that no Asakura has been born with this technique along with Hell's Kiss.
Cursed Technique:
Fictionalization
Fictionalization is a technique that can implant anything made of cursed energy into the pages of a book. This is a technique that requires high-output, high-efficiency, and, by anyone without Hell's Kiss, a dozen binding vows. Fictionalization and Hell's Kiss, like Limitless and the Six Eyes, come hand in hand - and Fictionalization is almost impossible to use without Hell's Kiss.
Also, another requirement for this technique is, that, the user must discharge their cursed energy and directly hit the target that they wish to fictionalize (or the thing that makes said thing created by or with cursed energy.) This technique temporarily works on technique applications and any target's cursed energy.
During the extermination of the Asakura Clan, the last Asakura with Hell's Kiss and Fictionalization fought the sorcerer Kenjaku. The Hell's Kiss user was a child, who just awakened their powers. The child chose to create a death binding vow which attempted to fictionalize Kenjaku without requirements, who was in the body of Noritoshi Kamo. Kenjaku used barrier techniques, Blood Manipulation, and multiple binding vows to survive.
