Invention: Kido storage device

Like it says it is a Kido storage device the thread is Here.

I will outline the basic ground rules on it

- You may only put a non-target specific kido such as Hado 4 white lightening, Hado 33 blue fire crash down, or Bakudo 10. Hōrin inside of it.
- If the kido inside has an effect that allows the caster to guide it or is immune to the effects (such as Senko), that part is nullified because it does not count the person "Firing it" as the caster.
- It takes 3x the normal energy of the kido to charge the seals and put the kido inside
- The device only holds the charge for 2 weeks before it renders the kido inside useless.

- To prevent misfires it has a basic deflection barrier on it, who's power is drawn from the other barriers and the kido inside, effectively, you can use it to deflect a Reiatsu based attack, the power of the deflection is directly related to the power of the Kido inside. (the # basically) [If the barrier activates this way, ALL the energy inside is put into the barrier, All or nothing]
- 2 of these cannot be within a foot of each other otherwise the Barrier above reacts to each other, rendering both useless.

- You may fire a kido that someone else put in the device, so long as you are able to in regards to the rule below

- ANYONE can use this device, the only restriction is that in order to fire the kido, your SP must be equal to or greater than 2/3rds the kido's number.
A quick way to calculate that is add 50% of your SP on top of your SP, and does it equal the kido's #.

For example Student A has 25 spirit and student b has 20, they both try to fire a Blue fire crash down, out of this device,
Student A can fire it because 25+12.5 =37.5 which is greater than the blue fire's 33, but Student b cannot, because 20+10=30 and 30 is less than blue fire's 33.

So a captain could charge a Blue Fire Crash Down in one, and give it to an academy student who has 25 SP, in case of emergencies. (If you could get a Captain or high rank to even do that for you)

Description: A large round silver coin about 4 inches across and about 1cm thick, has a 1 inch spherical hole in the middle, and both sides are covered in runes and symbols.

To Fire the kido: Put a finger in the hole in the center, charge a little bit of Energy into your finger and push. (doesn't use any significant amount of spiritual energy to fire the kido.)

NOTE: this is a generalized invention, not character specific. Anyone can make and use one (provided they have the materials and the blueprints).
At the time of my posting this there are only 3 made;
One is on MY character, Draylon Kerosu.
The Second My character gave to Arawn's as a thanks for allowing him to use a lab.
The 3rd was submitted along with a copy of the blueprints to the Research and Development labs.


Seeing as Inventions don't have a specific format I hope I sufficiently Explained myself and My invention.

I like this. Tis like lightning in a bottle. Approved.

Well I have somethings I am curious about.

1.) How exactly does this coin shaped storage device work? Does it absorb the kido when it is cast...does this mean it could be used as a modified Jūshirō Ukitake shikai specifically geared towards kido and absorb an enemy's kido and fire it back at them later in a battle?

2.) What are the drawbacks for this invention other than have to have the right spiritual power? I mean anything stored over time will begin to lose it's original power of when it was cast, so does the kido use potency when used this way?

3.) Is it possible for the device to be stolen? What would happen if say a Superhuman stole one of these devices and my first question was correct about it being able to absorb a kido like a shield and fire it back at the caster.

4.) Is it only able to absorb one kido at a time, I mean a coin does have two sides is it like heads for one tails for the other?

5.) Does this coin only apply for Hado or can it absorb Bakudo as well? What happens if a student instead of needing an attack needs a barrier as well.

"You may only put a non-target specific kido such as Hado 4 white lightening, Hado 33 blue fire crash down, or Bakudo 10. Hōrin inside of it.

- It takes 3x the normal energy of the kido to charge the seals and put the kido inside
- The device only holds the charge for 2 weeks before it renders the kido inside useless."

That should answer questions 2 and 5.

No. With the barriers and seals I chose, if you tried there is a 99.9999999% chance you would fail and get hit. Instead, and you would use a lot of energy in the attempt.


2.) What are the drawbacks for this invention other than have to have the right spiritual power? I mean anything stored over time will begin to lose it's original power of when it was cast, so does the kido use potency when used this way?

The 4 that Sal mentioned, 2 weeks is when the barriers start to weaken, the kido will slowly start to leak out and then the reiatsu barrier will reverse contain itself, using the all the energy inside to stop itself.

3.) Is it possible for the device to be stolen? What would happen if say a Superhuman stole one of these devices and my first question was correct about it being able to absorb a kido like a shield and fire it back at the caster.

Yes! the device can be stolen! If a superhuman went through the same way a shinigami stores his kido in it it could possibly store one for a superhuman as well (only reiatsu based attacks)! Also They can fire them the same way a shinigami can. Say a Superhuman steals mine (Charged with 33. Blue Fire, Crash Down) so long as the superhuman meets the pre-requisites of the Spirit Power and knows how to fire it, He could fire it at me.

4.) Is it only able to absorb one kido at a time, I mean a coin does have two sides is it like heads for one tails for the other?

Only one kido, it isn't stored on the side, it is stored in the hole in the center.

5.) Does this coin only apply for Hado or can it absorb Bakudo as well? What happens if a student instead of needing an attack needs a barrier as well.

Yes it can be used with Bakudo. If the Student needs a barrier, they could attempt to utilize the deflection barrier part of the seals on it. and yes as long as the Bakudo barrier spell is non-target specific it would work, so you could use Bakudo 8 Seki, as well.


Any more questions? I would be happy to answer them.

Okay well now I only see one minor problem. On this forum we dont have a set way of measuring time. So what is to stop you from just keeping it for a few threads and saying it has only been a day or two? I really dont think that two weeks limit is a valid drawback.

I honestly don't know how to solve the time thing,

I don't think the time thing is that big of a problem

but one of the things i was thinking and forgot to enter above, was that you would have to RP getting something in it you couldn't put in it yourself.

You can only really carry 1 safely, so you would only be able to really store 1 even if it was a powerful one from a captain, and you would still have to RP to get another one from them in a later thread. Not to mention actually convince the captain to do it.

Plus finding them online is always a problem...Mod approved

Aaaand-

After a Conversation in regards to the Deflection and being asked to define it, it takes the form as a protective barrier, and gains certain properties from whatever type of attack was stored in it. (as it uses the attack's energy in the barrier)

The barrier in question is 1 cubic foot, except that it is round. it was designed to protect the device, not the person.
