Cursed Technique: Hollow Boundary

- Cursed Technique: Hollow Boundary

The user gains access to an isolated dimension, overlaid on top of the 3rd dimension. This allows the user to transport matter into this dimension, making it intangible. This includes their own body. However, spending too much time in the dimension can cause mental detachment from one's body and senses. (Similar to DPDR if that helps)

o Extension techniques:

§ Invisibility: By constantly transporting matter to and from the dimension, the matter loses the ability to reflect light.

§ Teleport: By transporting their whole body into the dimension, the user can move instantaneously across short distances.

§ Dimensional Implosion: By compressing the dimension in a specific space, the user can create an implosion in 3D space itself.

§ Higher Dimensional Awareness: The user has a heightened sense of 3D reality, allowing extraordinary insight into cursed energy structure and flow.

§ Dimensional Storage: The user can store physical items in their dimension, allowing them to be retrieved at any time. The user can also store cursed energy there, giving them a backup store.

Domain Expansion: Null World

o Materialises as a plane made of total darkness, with a dark grey sky illuminating vast monolithic structures in the far distance.

o The domain separates the victims from their perspective and causes them to be unable to fully connect with the world, massively reducing depth perception and making objects seem disproportionate, as well as affecting coordination.

Any help with refining the technique would be appreciated. I tried to balance it out to make it realistic within the world, and not too "I made a technique that could solo the verse," while still making it a top-tier technique. (Sorry repost)

Expanding on Bag-Man's ''Cloning Technique''

As we all know, the original user of this technique was a monumental bum, to the point that even Gojo himself had to make it clear that his cursed technique had potential, but its user was just kind of a loser. So I have taken it upon myself to expand on what I think is a logical progression of how this technique could develop and evolve in the hands of an 'honoured one-type character'.

~Cloning Technique:

This technique allows the user to clone themselves using a mud-like liquid manipulated with their cursed energy. The user can produce up to four clones, for a total of five bodies, and swap their real body for a clone at any time. Every clone is identical to its original caster. A new clone cannot be created immediately after a clone is destroyed. [Taken from wiki]

~Extension Technique – Ranged Recall

This technique is only possible through a pair of highly difficult binding vows. These binding vows are as follows. One increases the 'cooldown' period between clone productions when a clone is destroyed by an outside source, and the other is a life-sacrificing binding vow that instantly destroys the clone. In return for these constraints, a clone may be resummoned at a drastically reduced cooldown, even when significantly injured. This allows the sorcerer to rapidly reposition their clones in real-time combat to create unexpected attacks or retreat quickly.

~Technique Reversal – Fusion

Reversing this technique allows multiple clone bodies to be fused into a single form. It can also be used on the sorcerer’s ‘real body’ to fuse any number of clones into it. In either case, the resulting body gains the combined might of all fused clones across all categories, from strength and speed to talent and brainpower. Some of these combined characteristics ‘scale’ better than others, and some may have ‘soft’ caps on their combined growth, so a simple 1+1 might not always result in 2, but could yield 1.5x or 3x the effect.

~Extension Technique – Cicada Sheds Shell

Using this technique allows the sorcerer to transfer any and all negative conditions onto his clone (short of complete annihilation). This technique can be used during fusion to forcibly eject a body, along with any injuries or status effects it might have, while retaining all positive traits it possesses at that moment. Through this technique, the sorcerer effectively has 4 extra lives while in a fully fused form with all of his clones.

~Imaginary/Compound Technique – Egocentric Lifeform

This technique is essentially an exploit of the system by which clones are ‘made’. By fusing 1 ‘clone body’ with the ‘true body’, the sorcerer will gain the strength of two bodies. The sorcerer must then create a new clone – but the technique's strength lies in the fact that this new clone will have the strength of 2 bodies, as it is an ‘identical’ copy of the original. This exploitation can be repeated until the sorcerer reaches their cap of 5 clone bodies, adding 2+2 for the 2nd clone, then 4+4 for the 3rd, until finally gaining the strength of 16x themselves by adding 8+8 upon fusing with the fourth. This technique is inherently unstable, however, and requires extreme skill and bodily control to contain such power, in addition to large amounts of cursed energy to create and maintain such powerful clone bodies.

~Domain Expansion: Proof of Existence

This domain uses the sorcerer's soul as a barrier and therefore can only affect the sorcerer; coincidentally, it lacks a sure-hit effect as well. In return for these conditions, this Domain Expansion is incredibly cheap to use. The effect of this domain is to grant any clone the property of being the 'true body'. This means that another sorcerer must exercise every clone before another can be created for the CT user to truly be killed. In addition, this relaxes other restrictions, e.g. how far the clones can go from the 'true body'. In return for a constant drain of cursed energy, this domain expansion can be used to create up to 5 ‘true bodies’

Feel free to tell me what you think of my ideas and add on any ideas you personally have.

Directors Cut is a Domain based technique that is grounded in the world of acting and theater.

Innate technique- Once opened the user and anyone in the domain will be put into a scene of The Directors choice. The Director is a Shikigami who controls everything in the scene , it is sitting outside the scene in a theater watching the occupants of the domain from in front of a screen , Anyone within the domain who is not the User of the technique will be unaware of the Director and will just be cast as a mindless Character within the scene ,the script being the sure hit. The caster of the domains job is to move the director with their performance. If The Director is pleased with the Users performance they will be given their time to shine as The Director in the real world. The domain shatters and the Shikigami is turned into Cursed Tool of the same name , a Bullhorn in which actions can be spoken into and manifest.

The Directors Abilites:
Que- Allows the user to manifest phenomena into the world such as lightning or A tree falling over
Casting- Allows willing participants to be given commands by the Director be it temporary abilities or moving to another set (location)
Action and Cut - This turns the Bullhorn into Clapboard which can freeze and or resume action within the set (The user is also unable to move during these actions)
Extras - This ability allows the user to summon Shikigami shaped like regular “people” to do tasks nothing too crazy just mundane things or basic combat
Props- The user can summon everyday objects to spice up their performance nothing insane like cursed tools just things such as rope and clothes for wardrobe changes

Passive ability: Like Hikari the user is able to use an ability from the domain this ability is called Mic Check it allows the user to adjust the volume of their voice in any way gaining the ability to speak at devastating volumes. The user can also summon one prop of their choosing once a day It will materialize in their pocket or hand once they known what they want.

Limitations:
Sets: A set is the only place The Director will work they are the size of a smaller arena stadium (about 250 meters) from where the domain was cast.
The users is able to use The Director in previous Sets they have made before.
Cursed Energy Consumption: Surprise Surprise the ability to warp reality is very taxing and basically useless for sorcerers with a low reserves only being able to give out 5-6 commands at a time
Casting: The Director can not cast themselves in their own production and those they do cast must be willing to participate in the exhibition
The Directors choice : The Director is very precise with his decisions in his production so the user must give a truly award winning performance to gain its praise and abilities
Time Limit: The Director is very busy and can not take too much time out of its day to mess around so the user can only access its abilities for no longer than a scene in a movie about 1-3 minutes the only way to extend this is to keep The Director interested in the performance
