Blood Archive ( completed)
I had an idea for a Special Grade cursed technique called Blood Archive and I wanted to know what you guys think about it.
The technique summons an old book that works like an archive of forgotten sorcerers. Every open double page contains one cursed technique. On the pages there is a drawing of the original user, a short biography, an explanation of how the technique works and also its strengths and weaknesses.
The user can only use the technique from the page that is currently open. If the book closes, the cursed technique instantly stops working and only one technique can be active at a time.
The book has around 40 cursed techniques so about 90 pages in total. The techniques are fixed forever and cant be changed or added. Every original user has been dead for atleast 100 years. Every technique has to be an innate cursed technique, inherited techniques are excluded and there are no Special Grade techniques in the book. Most of them are around Semi Grade 1 or below, with only about 13 Grade 1 techniques.
The idea is that the user isnt overpowering people with one broken ability. Instead he wins by picking the right technique for the situation, almost like Batman with prep time. I wanted it to feel more like an archive of forgotten cursed techniques than just another copy ability.
For example one Semi Grade 1 technique lets the user turn everything he touches into a bomb. That makes it really effective against groups since multiple targets or objects can be turned into explosives very quickly.
Another technique is around Grade 2 and lets the user summon two durable shikigami. They arent extremely powerful on their own but they constantly pressure the opponent, create openings and make it easier for the user to fight strategically.
Do you think something like this would fit into JJK or does it still sound too overpowered? Im trying to make the strength come from versatility and planning rather than every individual cursed technique being insanely strong.
