Torrent Sorcery
“I've done the math. When you pull this trigger, one plus one equals zero. Every time.”
The Innate Technique of “????? ?????”. Granting them the ability to create momentary glitches in themselves, much like glitches or errors in videos, to create falsities their position, senses, features or properties, visualized by a visual distortion akin to video's low frame rate or glitching.
When activating Torrent Sorcery, it is visualized as the user's body distorting with digital bytes manifesting around the user as they activate the Technique. Parts of their body overlayed with the pixelated visual as the Technique manipulates and shapes their state and body. The Technique has no requirements for activation, and can be activated at any time, but is limited to only working on the user and cannot have its abilities passed onto other individuals.
The power of Torrent Sorcery lies in the falsities it can create through activation. The Technique offers the ability to create momentary falsities in the user, akin to editing a video recording on an older system, as if editing a live feed of themselves and altering themselves based upon the edits made. This grants the user a wide range of abilities. For example, much like videos of the era, the user will be able to transport themselves great distances instantaneously, similarly to the jump-cuts and freeze frames of videos of the time. Where the video would pause only for it to cut multiple seconds forward in time. They can distort their body to make it harder to track themselves, increasing their speed alongside the distortion.
The user can additionally cause visual changes in their physical features and properties, such as changing the placement and size of their facial features. Distorting themselves visually to match the appearance of another individual, in which the user will have a digital covering of the appearance in which they create. They can create visual clones of themselves that match the user visually which can be passed through, and even turn invisible by covering themselves in their Technique fully to match their background.
Technique Weaknesses:
- The major drawback of Torrent Sorcery lies in excessive usage. Every activation of the Technique in quick succession builds up Lag, in which the Technique gains the potential to delay activation or even pause in effect at random. The more excessively the user activates the Technique in any way, the more lag they produce, and thus the more likely the Technique is to be delayed upon activation, or even freeze the user in place due to the amount of lag they've built up.
- Visual distortions caused by Torrent Sorcery can be discerned and caught by momentary pauses in movement or expansions in places they shouldn't be. Such as if the user were to alter their face, their mouth or eyes may visualize strangely or may look in different directions for a moment, where an onlooker can catch the momentary distortion.

This is my first time posting here! I have about, like, 40 or so Cursed Technique's that I've written out in my spare time over the past few years since becoming a JJK fan, both for myself and my friends. This one is a more recent one, so I hope you enjoy!
