Shikigami Jutsu

Particular Jutsu Type:
Backstory:  A fundamental technique to the Kamigawa. Their bonds to the spirit are the strongest in the world, almost so they become part of their very will and answer their call—even the smallest. In the world of spirits, there are small nature spirits known as "Shikigami," said to exist in all things from rocks, leaves to even objects people value like lamps, fans, and other common tools. In that sense, they are all very much alive. What makes this useful is that a Kamigawa clan member can utilize them in the form of an offensive force to protect themselves from enemies. It works similar to those who conjure snakes or animals for one-time attacks—a form of an Onmyouji technique and ninjutsu.


Appearance: After performing the jutsu, inanimate objects suddenly come to life and begin to lift off the ground. They appear like a form of telekinesis to the naked eye, lifting objects and tools to attack with no physical contact. To those with chakra (or spiritual vision), they can see round, whimsical small creatures surrounding each object-- the shape of Shikigami spirits that fly out to attack their caster's enemy. The 'spirits' fly out to attack the enemy with the manifested object before they disappear shortly afterward.

What it does: After forming hand seals, the caster lands a hand on the ground, and the spirits are 'summoned' from the surrounding objects in the area. From leaves, stones, drops of water, small tools... and seem to levitate, but in reality, they are spirits manifested from the objects. The 'spirits' can only be seen with chakra (or spiritual) vision.  As a result, they fly outward towards a target to pelt and smack into them with extra force due to the spirits propelling them. Can fire a maximum of 5/8/12 projectiles or objects at once.

If mastered, this unlocks another effect. Should an enemy had used shuriken, kunai, discarded or broken sword, or remains of a ninja tool spent-- the same spirits will be animated in their remains. If used on enemy discarded objects, any offensive effects (sharpness or explosive nature) are added to the jutsu's effects, but at 50% effectiveness. Object manipulated can only be as large as 30 centimeters in size max. The projectile must be within 10 meters from the user to be picked up. The same number of manipulated objects apply to this effect as well. Cannot manipulate objects still held and in possession by enemy.
