Cursed Technique: Shock absorption
This technique had some inspiration from the image above.
Cursed Technique Lapse: Shock Absorption (Base Form)
The core activation. The user generates an internal "shock membrane" throughout their body (skin, organs, bones) that converts incoming CE force into storable energy. The impact is still felt, but its energy is siphoned. Using stored CE, the user can drastically alter physiology, increasing muscle density and size, hardening tissues to steel-like durability, reshaping limbs into weapons, or reattaching severed limbs with exceptional efficiency (slightly cheaper than standard RCT). Small amounts enable minor buffs (faster reflexes, denser bones). Large reserves allow temporary "super modes".
Cursed Technique Extension: Resonant Redistribution
The user channels stored CE not just internally but through their body into external vectors. This creates "shock pulses" — releasing absorbed energy as concussive waves, targeted beams, or vibrating fields. Counter-attack by firing back a percentage of an opponent's own technique. Release low-level pulses to disrupt enemy footing or CE flow. Turns defense into offense. Can "store" an opponent's technique and mimic it imperfectly, creating hybrid attacks.
Maximum Technique: Cataclysmic Overcharge
The user deliberately pushes their reservoir to the absolute brink, then triggers a controlled overload. Instead of a random explosion, they shape the release into a massive, directed cataclysm. Enormous temporary power spike: Body transforms into a colossal, ever-shifting monstrosity of reinforced flesh, bone blades, and CE vents. Releases a devastating radial blast combined with a physical rampage, and all modifications become hyper-efficient for a short window (30-60 seconds).
