JJK: Shadow Ritual Technique

They are made of cursed energy, energy that non-sorcerers emanate, and therefore they do not know how to control their cursed energy, which prevents them from storing it and from generating and releasing cursed energy every time they feel negative emotions.

After the cursed energy is concentrated in a place, a cursed spirit is born, taking form, attitude, and with powers or abilities somehow related to the concept that provokes the negative emotions.

For example, hatred, repulsion, fear or disgust towards an animal creates a cursed spirit in the form of that animal, with a terrifying appearance and abilities that have to do with the genetics of a common animal.

Cursed spirits are not visible to people, they will only be able to see them if they are in a situation close to death or if the place where they are has a high concentration of cursed energy.

Sorcerers are able to observe and combat cursed spirits, which can only be killed by Cursed energy. Furthermore, if a sorcerer dies, it is recommended that they be killed using Cursed Technique, because if they die naturally, a Cursed Spirit is likely to emerge with their powers and abilities.

Cursed spirits do not usually leave the place where they were born, although sometimes they follow a person who generates a lot of cursed energy and bother them, causing bad situations to feed and become stronger with the cursed energy that comes out of the person.

Most curses aren't very powerful, though they do grow stronger over time. Most curses in the countryside and towns are fourth-class, at most second-class, though there are hardly any. But in cities, it's possible to find first-class cursed spirits, though most will be fourth and third-class.

The world of jujutsu kaisen (jjk) is a world where there are spirits that are born from the negative feelings of people, these spirits are called curses by humans called sorcerers.

Sorcerers are humans who have the ability to control their negative feelings that provoke what is known as cursed energy, which they use to perform cursed spells, techniques, or rituals that serve to exorcise curses.

Wizards and curses have ranks, although a wizard of the same level is usually a curse of the same class. The classes from lowest to highest power are: Sorcerers/Classless Curses: People in this class are barely able to overcome normal humans. Curses in this class can only cause discomfort or inconvenience to people. Fourth Class: Individuals or curses in this class are only slightly better than normal humans; they only pose a danger to small groups of people. Curses are not capable of severely harming individuals and can only inflict severe ailments or illnesses. Third Class: Wizards of this class can be a danger to large groups of people, even armed ones, and can often destroy a neighborhood. Curses of this category can engage people directly; they cannot kill multiple people at once. Semi-Second Class or Class 2.5: Sorcerers of this class can pose a danger to somewhat large communities or several neighborhoods, at most estimated to be entire blocks. Curses of this class are more dangerous, as they can fight several people at once, but it is estimated to be no more than 5 at a time. Second Class: Wizards of this class can be a danger to even fairly large villages. Curses of this category can deal with fairly large groups of people, but it's estimated they'll only be a few dozen. Semi-First Class or Class 1.5: Wizards of this class could single-handedly destroy a small town if they set their minds to it. Curses of this class can pose dangers to entire neighborhoods or communities.

First Class: Sorcerers of this class can single-handedly destroy cities or capitals; the strongest are said to be capable of destroying even small states. Curses of this category can pose a danger to villages or even small towns. This class is often the pinnacle for both sorcerers and curses. Sorcerers of this class are typically extremely powerful and often work directly for the Sorcery Association, serving as fundamental pillars of its strength. Special First Class: A class superior to the first class, capable of destroying a large state or several small or medium-sized ones. It is only granted to individuals of extreme political or economic importance, or with great power and potential within sorcery. Semi-Special Class: Capable of destroying even several large states and a portion of a country. They are extremely rare, so named because they have already surpassed the power of a First Special Class, but have not yet reached the power of a Special Category. Most sorcerers do not usually rise above this rank, as it is extremely difficult, and only geniuses of extraordinary or anomalous talent can surpass this class. Special Class: This class is so named because its power is often immeasurable, and there are usually vast differences in power even among them. Common Special Class sorcerers can destroy countries, the strongest can destroy several small countries, or even extremely powerful world powers. Curses of this class typically pose great dangers and can destroy entire states or even large parts of a country, and only a tiny fraction of them can destroy one or more countries.

The higher the class, the fewer sorcerers or curses of that level there are; in the special class there are barely 5 special category sorcerers registered and not much more than 10 special category curses.

Description Mahoraga is a shikigami with a humanoid body, at least twice as tall as the average person. He has long wings on either side of his face where his eyes would be, and a long tail behind his head. Floating above his head is a wheel with eight handles, in addition to the sword attached to his left arm. Unlike other shikigami of the Ten-Shadow Technique, this one doesn't require the user to form a hand shape resembling its body. Its summoning simply requires the user to hold both hands closed and extended forward, one behind the other, while reciting the incantation "With this treasure, I summon you..." before stating the shikigami's full name. After the ritual is performed, Mahoraga is summoned. It also possesses the ability to adapt to any phenomenon; if affected by a particular attack, the wheel of eight handles will rotate, allowing it to adapt. Furthermore, if the opponent uses the same technique again, Mahoraga will counter it or become immune to it. The sword attached to its hand, known as the Sword of Extermination, is surrounded by positive cursed energy, making it highly effective against cursed spirits. Its power is equal to that of a powerful sorcerer of the special category. Mahoraga is capable of regenerating from even a mere pool of his own blood to a perfect state in a single second or less. Mahoraga can create a wheel like his own, which allows the user to adapt to his form, though it doesn't grant regeneration and the adaptation process is slower. This wheel is smaller, but the user can force its creation without Mahoraga's assistance.

Shikigami are animate objects or beings created from the molding of cursed energy and are therefore considered artificial cursed spirits. There are many Shikigami users, however, it is common to see them owning a type of Shikigami. The Ten-Type Shadow Technique is one of the legacies of the Zenin Clan and can only be used by members of the Zenin Clan. Through this technique, they have the ability to exorcise curses.

Training The actual process of shikigami creation is relatively unknown. It is implied that a shaman will have to mold their own cursed energy to form the shikigami, and to do so, they must have a model or outline of how they would like their creation to look. After its creation, it must undergo a purification or exorcism process (depending on the level of creation) so that the shaman can take control of it.

To use a shikigami, the shaman must make a certain sign or shape with his hand, without the need to use a talisman, amulet or anything in particular as an intermediary, to form and summon the shikigami of his choice.

Characteristics of a shikigami. Shikigami forms often have certain animal characteristics, such as dogs, snakes, birds, toads, elephants, and others. They can vary considerably in size and capacity. Some have certain symbols or patterns on parts of their body, which resemble the symbols of the Ten Sacred Treasures. Once a shikigami is created and summoned, it can be dispelled and summoned again as many times as necessary. Some shikigami can be used by those who cannot use cursed energy. When a shikigami is completely destroyed during a battle, its energy is inherited by another shikigami, allowing for the creation of stronger variations of the death shikigami. Uses The primary purpose of shikigami is to exorcise curses. However, because the shaman forms the shikigami from his own cursed energy and a desired image, its creation can be used in a variety of ways beyond exorcising curses, such as surveillance or scouting.

Shikigami, like cursed spirits, cannot be seen by non-spellcasters unless certain conditions are met. Shikigami can be dislocated at any time, returning to the user's shadow.

Shikigami can be fused, either temporarily or permanently. Temporary way: Unknown bottomless abyss Permanent manner:Totality

If a shikigami dies, its power can be bequeathed to another random shikigami.

It is possible to partially summon shikigamis, by doing so their figure will be almost identical to the normal ones, but their body will be made of shadows and even if they die the shikigamis can be summoned without problems at another time, since the shikigamis only dies if it is destroyed after being tamed and being completely summoned.
