A domain is, by nature, is a set of coordinates determined by its owner. For the sake of simplicity, that set is usually a simple one, going from x point to y point in all 3 dimensions.

Since more complex sets are harder to maintain, having a domain with multiple cases and exceptions will cause it to be fragile, and that's exactly what Counter Conjecture relies on.

Counter Conjecture

- Overview -

Counter Conjecture is an anti domain technique that relies on the clever usage of barriers to create exceptional cases that destabilize a domain's integrity or even "disprove" the existence of said domain.

- Functioning -

By creating one or more barriers inside a domain, the user forces it to consider (or disconsider) the new volume/area on its calculations, difficulting its existence.

A simple analogy to Counter Conjecture would be comparing a domain to an wall and the technique to a whole in that wall. The hole affects the wall's capacity to sustain its own weigh, and with a big enough hole, the wall simply turns into some floating bricks, collapsing instantly.

- Examples:

- Sub Stars: By creating multiple ball-shaped barriers, the user forces the domain to consider these balls as subdomains containing special sets of coordinates. Somewhat effective, somewhat hard to maintain.

- World Intersection: The user creates a simple wall that divides the domain's volume in two smaller ones, locking the its caster in only of them. That division causes the volume without the domain's caster to collapse, destroying a considerable portion of the domain. Extremely strong, but it can be partly countered if the domain's caster is skillfully enough to maintain two barrier at the same time.

- Notes -

Got inspired after watching a video of an engineer explain barriers in JJK.

During festivals and celebrations, something that seems to always be present is the phenomenon called "Batuque". Footsteps around a salon, vibrations echoing from wood, brass and flesh things and even the very heartbeat of every person involved. Batuque is most honest and undeniable evidence of human life and joy, and also is what this very technique embodies.

Batuque do Pandeiro

A simple technique that utilizes the power of motion and rhythm to convert malevolence into pure happiness.

By rhythmically hitting their body against itself or another surface imbued with Cursed Energy, the user can force an process of RCE production through multiples collisions of CE. It can be anything: claps, footsteps, drumming, what matters is the act of "batuque".

That RCE produced is released omnidirectionaly, but can be focused in a more specific area, given enough ability.

This Cursed Technique is of the support type by nature, healing people around its user and keeping cursed spirits away (or dead, depending on the distance).

- Notes -

I got inspired after hearing some "Pagode" songs. It is a brazilian musical genre (related to jazz I think?). Very cool.

​

During the final strife against Sukuna, one of Yuji's gauntlets broke, reveling to the King of Curses its true purpose: to cover Yuji's missing fingers.

But what if it was something more?

What if it could serve a greater purpose?

What if it could turn anyone brave enough into a vessel for Sukuna's power?

Those were the questions made by one of the greatest curse-smiths from modern era. And they made the answers.

Hand of the Forced Bodhisattva

After being broken, Yuji's gauntlet was repaired into a functional cursed tool that mirrors its owner.

- Functioning -

By inserting one (or more, if possible) of Sukuna's fingers into the gauntlet's "finger sockets", it gives whoever is wearing it access to the Cursed Energy reserves and output sealed in the finger(s).

Hand of the Forced Bodhisattva is also capable of using Shrine, Sukuna's technique, with strength, range and control proportional to the amount of fingers being used.

The gauntlet can only channel that power through itself though, meaning that the user cannot use it to reinforce their legs or head, for example.

- Downsides -

There's a catch to the overwhelming amount of power it gives, though.

In order to achieve its effects, the gauntlet has to connect the user's soul to the soul inside the fingers, aka Sukuna. Because of that, putting it on is similar to swallowing the fingers, what allows Sukuna to attempt taking over. To prevent that, a couple of failsafes were created:

- The gauntlet will actively utilize a fraction of the user's and Sukuna's CE and output to help them to suppress Sukuna's soul.

- In case the user's natural output is too low to suppress Sukuna, the gauntlet will attempt to wear itself off of them by cutting their arm out.

But even then, those measures aren't perfect. If one of the following situations happens to the person wearing Hand of the Forced Bodhisattva, it will fail to hold Sukuna and he will take over. The situations are:

- Unconsciousness: The user won't be able to consciously fight against Sukuna due to obvious reasons.

- Death: Same as above.

- Gauntlet running out of CE: Although very unlikely, if its reserves, and consequently Sukuna's reserves, runs out, it won't be able to suppress him nor detach itself from the user. Sukuna won't be that much different from a normal person, at least not while he doesn't recover his CE.

- Notes -

I had been thinking about this one recently, so I decided to write it.

I like when my ideas are somewhat vague. It allows people that red them to change and build things off of what I made. I makes me happy.

I suck with names.

Friction is movement, and movement is, between many other things, heat. And if friction is heat, you better stay away from this technique's user, or you might get burnt.

- Cursed Technique: Skin Burn -

- Overview: Skin Burn allows its user to turn friction into dust and heat through their body's attrition against objects. The more attrition their skin suffer, the more power the technique becomes.

- Cursed Energy Trait: Powdery -

This CT causes the Cursed Energy of its user to adquire a similar texture to sand or dust, being easily detached of its origin. This makes the user's CE waste increase, but in exchange allows a better usage of the technique's nature.

- Extension Moves -

- Sand Breeze: The user rubs their fingers against a surface, sending heat outwards.

- Self Laceration: The user puts one of his hands in the opposite side shoulder and starts bringing it to the other hand, following the arm's surface. Then, once that hand reaches the other, a slash-like heatwave is released forwards. This slash is way more powerful than an regular attack since more skin area is being put under attrition.

- Sun Mark: Instead of using an object's surface, the user uses the body of an enemy to cause damage on said foe, similarly to how the very user suffers damage while using the technique.

- Sand Storm: By using the technique while moving constantly, the user creates a curtain made out of heat and dust-like CE that obstructs anyone's view and causes nausea and vertigo due to constant heat exposure.

- Downsides -

The produced heat's potency diminishes exponentially the longer it travels, meaning it's better suited for short to medium range attacks. It also means that the heat is at its strongest right when it's released, being directly in contact with the user skin.

- Notes -

I have had this one on my mind for quite some time, so I decided to finally bring it to the real world.

Thank you for reading!!

Cursed Technique: Selenenion

In the course of life, bodies come and go, flowing like water and modifying each other's path like planets to their moons.

Selenelion utilizes this very undeniable fact to its user's favor.

- Concept: By binding two objects into a forced gravitational system, Selenelion allows its user to change the trajectory and speed of them.

- Lapse : Moon Hunt -

The user marks two objects: one of them will be a moon and the other, a planet. The planet will have its gravitational effect on the moon increased extraordinarily, while remaining unaffected by the technique. The moon will be forced into a orbit of 0.000...01 eccentricity (basically a perfect circle) around the planet and it can be pushed/pulled away from its orbit, but will always be brought back to it by the planet's gravity.

The orbit's radius will increase with the technique's output and the mass of the planet. The planet's gravitational pull (speed in which the moon will return to orbit) will also increase with its mass, but can't be changed with output.

If the bodies colide or get too far away from each other, the technique will be released.

More than one pair of a planet and a moon can be selected, but a body cannot belong to more than one pair, and the pair will have no effect on each other.

- Reversal : Binary Dance -

Used on an already selected pair of bodies. If Lapse aims for a stable binary system, Reversal does the exact opposite.

Once the Reversal is activated, both bodies become planets and moons, causing their stability to break. After some time, the system will be totally shattered, and both bodies will be launched at opposite directions, or will collide against each other.

- Notes -

This technique was inspired by the song Selenelion (it's where I got the image from, you should give it a chance!)

I wanted to make a versatile and complex technique to use, and I think succeed in my quest.

please don't call this physicslop.

Everyday, we have countless tasks to do, which one requiring a different set of skills. Doing them is so engraved in our nature that it's expected for humans to search complete tasks willingly. So natural that just thinking about being unable to finish one can be unnerving.

Because of that, one of the many primitive fears of humanity is the one of getting and having a disability, and of course a cursed spirit would be born from that.

Curse of Disability: Nikutai-No-Nai Nogitsune (Bodiless Wild Fox)

- Grade: Grade 1

- General Concept -

Nikutai-No-Nai Nogitsune embodies the negative emotions directed towards disabilities, in special, anger and sadness.

At first glance, it looks like an weak curse that can barely

hold itself together, walking slowly with its head down. But, once someone is close enough or the curse feels threatened, the nogitsune propels itself towards its foe, aiming to bite the closest body part.

While its technique is dormant, Nogitsune is considerably weak physically, but can still be a threat even to mid Grade 2 sorcerers. Nogitsune is also extremely intelligent, having the same amount of consciousness of a typical human being, or even higher. Its smart enough to make binding vows with sorcerers, strategize, manipulate, hide and even flee, if necessary.

If Nogitsune manages to activate its technique, the threat it represents grows absurdly. Due to that amount of danger, plus the high intelligence it has, avoiding combat is advised.

- Cursed Technique: Pity Bite -

Pity Bite serves to counter, or better, pass down the curse's weakness of body.

By biting the body part of a person, Nogitsune's body gets bigger and stronger, equivalently to the importance of said body part. On the other hand, the target loses control of the region bitten and, consequently, their output decreases, proportionally to the size and importance of body part bitten.

Additionally, Nogitsune can release Pity Bite, making the effects decrease until their total nullification in some seconds. Also, increasing the technique's output increases the bite's area of effect.

- Appearance -

Without Pity Bite, Nogitsune looks like a quadrupedal, sluggish curse, with slight resemblance to a slim sick dog/fox.

Once Pity Bite is active, the body of Nogitsune will start to take a more defined form. It will grow in strength, size and beauty, taking the shape of a big wild fox in its neutral form. The amount of tails increase with the strength of Pity Bite as well.

Nogitsune can (in a very limited amount) alter its appearance to its like.

- Notes -

Thought about it, like, one hour ago

I would like to describe it better, since I originally thought about this curse thinking about the sadness that disabilities causes to those that have to bear them. Sorry if I didn't represent the concept accurately, or even decently.

I really have to lock in on learning to draw, it sucks to depend on fucking Pinterest to get every single picture I use.

also i pretty sure the japanese title is wrong

Plebian's Sleeve of Need is, much like the New Shadow Style, a group of barrier techniques created to compensate one's lack of ability.

Scorching Jacket

Created with the purpose of improving one's performance in close quarters fights against foes with high strength and endurance, Scorching Jacket turns the imprisoning nature of Veils into hand-to-hand armament.

- Functioning -

Scorching Jacket serves as a temporary armor, protecting the user against physical impacts and boosting their striking force. On top of that, due to the friction of Scorching Jacket with attacking cursed energy, the external surface of it gets slightly hotter with every blow taken, adding a bit more of damage to its own attacks, while also reducing its physical integrity.

Some problems of Scorching Jacket are its time of deployment, since it is still a Veil and needs to be deployed through chants, and the lack of mobility it causes, although reduced by Binding Vows.

- Requirements -

Through the use of a Veil, the user envelopes a part their body, imposing the following Binding Vows:

- Nothing can go through the Veil, in exchange, the outside gets tougher. (essential for the purpose of this technique)

- The Veil can't be closed entirely, in exchange, the Veil gets more flexible. (necessary for allowing the Veil to envelope and move accordingly to the body)

- The Veil's form and restrictions cannot be changed while it's active, in exchange, it will cover the body part chosen without the need of high experience with barrier techniques. (not needed if you can visualize the barrier and maintain it)

- The Veil can only be active for x seconds, in exchange, it gets even tougher depending on the value of x. (optional)

Many more BVs are possible, but these are the most essential ones.

- Appearance -

Scorching Jacket looks exactly like the body part it's covering, except by its deep black color. The more damaged it is, the more transparent it will look. Its color may get a bit more redder with the increase of its surface's temperature

- Secret Art: Misanthrope Arms -

If the user is at least a little aware of their own soul, they can utilize their knowledge on how souls are shaped and apply it into Scorching Jacket, creating Misanthrope Arms. It usually functions through the following Binding Vow:

"The Veil will not block nor improve any conventional physical attack. On top of that, the Veil will start to burn away rapidly and will be put on cooldown of x seconds after it burns entirely. In exchange, it will target the soul of the foe being attacked and greatly enhance the damage against said soul."

- Notes -

This one was based on the concept of Haki in One Piece.

Not much to add really, I just hope you guys enjoy this one (even though it's highly non-original).

(repost 'cause I forgot the picture)

Plebian's Sleeve of Need is, much like the New Shadow Style, a group of barrier techniques created to compensate one's lack of ability.

Ionized Camp

Ionized Camp was created with the purpose of utilizing an enemy's high output against themselves, be offensive or defensively.

- Functioning -

By forcibly spinning Cursed Energy, the user creates an vortex of CE. The speed of said vortex causes any CE caught in it to disassociate from its origin and mix into the sea of rapidly going Cursed Energy.

- Requirements -

Through the use of a simple domain, the user sets up an area in which Cursed Energy is trapped. Then, they input a high amount of their CE in the domain and start spinning it.

Although simple, deploying Ionized Camp requires great CE control in order to keep the barrier up, spin CE and avoid letting Ionized Camp affect your reserves, all in the same time. Because of that, using a Binding Vow to automate at least one of the aspects of Ionized Camp is recommended.

- Appearance -

Ionized Camp itself is, much like a Simple Domain, basically invisible, but it can be perceived due to small quantities of CE leaking from the area of effect, that causes its surroundings to produce a sort of diagonal heat haze.

When analyzing the Cursed Energy flow of Ionized Camp, you will notice that the CE follows a "twisted horn torus" form.

- Notes -

The main use of Ionized Camp is to protect its user from attacks that can't be safely defended against or avoided, such as AoE attacks and Domain Expansions, but it can also be used to redirect minor attacks, depleted one's CE reserves and more, with the right strategy.

This one was based on some "industrial" processes of ionization (of course) and also on Geto's Uzumaki.

no im not gonna explain what a twisted horn torus is look that up if ya want to know

That's it for now, thank you for reading my hallucination-induced text!

Plebian's Sleeve of Need is, much like the New Shadow Style, a group of barrier techniques created to compensate one's lack of ability.

Empty Domain

Also called of Complex Domain and Domain of the not so weak, Empty Domain is made with the sole purpose of countering an enemy domain expansion whose refinement overwhelms yours.

- Requirements -

Through a Binding Vown, the user gives up any chance of winning a domain clash and its advantages in order to negate the possibility of lossing.

The sure-hit of one's domain is totally cancelled. In exchange, the refinement and durability of the barrier skyrockets.

The hand sign is the same for a normal domain expansion, but it can be changed to a more complex seal to boost even further the domain's refinement.

- Appearance -

Inside the domain there's nothing. Just pure pitch black. The nothingness is so intense that nothing can be seen, even your own hands.

Outside the domain, nothing changes. It looks like a normal DE.

​

- Phiber -

- Lapse :

Phiber allows its user to unravel objects (physical or made of CE) into golden threads of Cursed Energy that can be remotely controlled, being highly versatile in mobility and battlefield control. They are very weak though.

Some possible uses are:

- Turning CE directly into threads

- Dismantling the environment to create shortcuts, and complicate mobility

- Using threads as sharp weapons

- Increasing terrestrial and aerial mobility by pushing and pulling threads.

- Creating traps

- Reversal :

By applying RCE into golden threads, the user causes them to take the form of a desired object. During the formation, the shiny yellow tone of each line turns into a foggy silver color. Once the formation is complete, the user loses the ability to control the threads, but in exchange they get wat more durable.

- Maximum Technique - Remend : By forcing the threads to take the form of one's soul, the user can create prosthetics to replace missing limbs and "heal" open injuries.

That's it! Simple idea I had earlier today. I think I could have flesh out and explained it better, but whatever.

A simple wooden staff, said to have been used by a Buddhist sorcerer from the past. Despite it's innocent look, Monk's Broom is a highly versatile weapon, especially against fast foes.

Monk's Broom's imbued technique allows it to accumulate and redirect force into air manipulation.

By spinning the staff, the user builds up energy, more spins = more force. Once the it's charged, the staff can use the energy stored to move the air around it with great strength.

Even though Monk's Broom lacks offensive capabilities, it's still a great tool to improve or disrupt one's mobility (or just to throw someone around).

Created by a loving sorcerer, Boundary and Bridal is a pair of rings imbued with the sorcerer's technique, each one caring one aspect of it.

- Boundary (Black ring): Must be worn on the right middle finger.

The user can use cursed energy to mark targets. Once marked, the target won't be allowed to come near the user, being forced out of a certain range.

The user can increase the range through by increasing the ring's output.

- Bridal (Silver ring): Must be worn on the left ring finger.

The user can use cursed energy to mark targets. Once something is marked, the user can call it to them. When called the target will accelerated rapidly towards the user.

The user can stop the target at will and also increase the ring's output in order to accelerated a called target even more.

Quick drawing.

Plebian's Sleeve of Need is a group of advanced barrier techniques created to cover the lack of skill one may have in comparison to their immediate foe.

Examples - Your enemy expands their domain and they have a better barrier refinement then you, you are being overwhelmed in h2h, your foe has a strong CT, etc.

Suijin's Sublime Aquarium

Suijins are mythological creatures that are said to facilitate and simplify the path towards objectives, such as a good crop, of farmers and fishers. Suijin's Sublime Aquarium expands that help for sorcerers whose enemies's CT are too complex and/or strong to fight against.

- Requirements -

Through a Binding Vown, the user sacrifices all personality their domain have: sure-hit, appearance, technical advantages, etc., and also allows anything to enter and leave the domain. In exchange, the sure-hit becomes a very effective version of Domain Amplification that makes everyone inside suffer from all the downsides of using regular DA, and has no effect on the user (aside from the CT nullification). The Karana and the Abhaya Mudras are used to deploy the domain too.

- Trivia -

Suijin's Sublime Aquarium looks like a giant ball of transparent, pristine water.

Since everything inside the domain is a viable target, enemy domains effects are completely nullified inside the Aquarium.

I have had this idea for some time. Honestly, I think there should be more barrier techniques.

​

Cursed Technique: Maneuver

Allows its user to rotate the direction of their average acceleration.

No, the technique doesn't change your speed, kinect energy or acceleration's intensity, at least not directly.

Due to its simple nature, Maneuver lacks direct application. In exchange, it is very versatile, having many extensions, depending on the user. Here are some of them:

Extension Technique - Falling Forward: When falling directly down, your acceleration is equal to gravity (~10m/s). Since gravity is constant, you can "rotate" it to accelerate yourself to any desired direction without having to worry about changes in intensity. Due to normal force, you need to not be touching any surface to use this technique at its fullest. It's probably the extension technique of must importance to this CT

Extension Technique - Relative Carrousel: By changing your acceleration's direction continually, quickly enough, in all directions, you causes your position to stay the same, even if you're standing mid air. This technique requires some mental effort though, since losing concentration will make the balance keeping you still break. Mostly useful to avoid falling.

Extension Technique - Bullet Corpse: Utilizing Falling Forward, the user changes their acceleration in order to maintain themselves in a circular path. While following this path, the user accumulates speed without leaving the area they were initially in. Useful to prepare long distance surprise attacks.

That's it! I have been thinking about this CT for a while now, so I actually have thought about some other extensions, but the post is already big enough.

(and don't you dare to call this one physicslop)

​

Living beings are like machines and, therefore, they need fuel to survive. In order to obtain such resource, their bodies break and dissolves food down. However, if the body cannot find enough food to satiate its hunger, it starts to devour itself, turning everything judged unessential into fuel and energy.

But what if that hunger isn't for the nutrition of meat, but for the sweetness of battle?

# Appearance

Bittersweet Drum can be noticed by the substancial increase in the heart's size and mass, as well as by the clear red-ish tone of the affected person's skin.

Although the cause of this mutation is unknown, it has been observed to have some correlation with pregnancies where the mother was exposed to a considerable amount of mental/physical stress (alcohol, exhaustion, depression, starvation, etc.).

# Effects

Bittersweet Drum alters the heart to make it part of a pseudo-digestive system, turning it into a "center" of cursed energy flow, much like the stomach, and giving it the capacity to produce CE, although in a very different way: the heart is able to "digest" materials in the bloodstream deemed unnecessary in situations where the body recognizes the need for (cursed) energy, similarly to autophagy.

In order to digest components, Bittersweet Drum makes some changes to the circulatory system:

Blood gets denser due to an increase of blood cells and also more acidic, causing it to passively break down smaller chunks of resources. In simpler terms, the blood is the gastric acid of BD.

The heart grows in size and strength, serving as the teeth of BD. By expanding and then collapsing in on itself like a stress ball, the heart breaks down everything passing through it, even blood cells. This type of digestion is active, and will only start working automatically during intense physical exercise or stress.

Bittersweet Drum has a couple of catches though.

Firstly, the cursed energy acquired by BD is not fully absorbed into the user's reserves, with a considerable amount leaking into blood cells, that deliver it just like they would deliver oxygen to the body. That leaked CE reinforces any cell that comes in contact, staking with the user's actual output.

Secondly, when the heart collapses with enough strength and speed, it causes CE-infused cells to collide against one another with great force. In the collision, some cursed energy may escape and collide with more cursed energy, forcing those two instances of CE to combine, what results in Reversed Cursed Energy. Although the amount is very low, the RCE produced can heal small injures such as cuts and mostly internal fractures.

# Disadvantages

Putting a V8 engine in a vintage car without making the proper modifications is usually not a good idea, and the same applies here.

Even though Bittersweet Drum grants some acid resistance, it is not sufficient to prevent all damage caused by the blood.

On top of that, the heart gets so strong that blood pressureis expected to stay at Stage 1 Hypertension levels if the person affected by the mutation follows a regular routine and diet. The combination of these two harmful consequences results in lots of micro injures in the bloods vessels and nearest tissues. RCT can be used to heal them, though.

Better the engine, better the fuel needed and, therefore, Bittersweet Drum will make the demand for food and oxygen skyrocket.

Inhaling more oxygen faster is going to be necessary, what can be a disadvantage in the middle of a close quarters fight or while the user is chanting, and starvation will occur if the person affected doesn't keep eating a considerable amount of food regularly.

Also, due to the increase in size, the heart ends up squeezing the left lung, difficulting its expansion.

That's it! This one was inspired by Chainsaw Man's regeneration and autophagy but you probably already noticed that.

I think I could have explained this one better, so I will ask you guys: what did you like or dislike about this one? Any critique is welcome, thanks!

(Oh, also, we now have a proper flair for these kind of posts! Thanks to the one that added it.)
