Shadow Prison

Shadow Prison, also called Prison of the Dragon, is one of the Vritra's Sacred Gears. It has the power to control shadow to create a prison.
==Summary==
Shadow Prison is among the numerous Sacred Gears created by the Biblical God before his death under the hands of the Four Great Satans in the Great War.
It is one of the four Sacred Gears which hold fragments of the soul and consciousness of the legendary Evil Dragon Vritra from Vedic mythology inside of them. It is unclear how and why the Biblical God managed to get his hands onto Vritra's soul, though Indra has stated that neither him nor the Hindu Pantheon have any intention to ever find out why - Not before, not now, and definitely not in the future.
Sometimes in the British Raj, Azazel began to collect Vritra's Sacred Gears in an attempt to decipher and understand the Sacred Gear system created by the Biblical God, though he only managed to collect three of them while the Absorption Line was lost to the Catholic Church. Later on, when the Three Factions signed the Kuoh Treaty, Azazel decided to implant the remaining Sacred Gears into Genshirou to satisfy his curiosity and see what would happen if one possesses all four Vritra's Sacred Gears.
==Appearance==
Shadow Prison takes the form of dozens of snake-like purple tentacles with golden rings and small ruby eyes. When the user's angered or feeling threatened, the tentacles will assume a much more frightening form of massive coiling venomous serpents growing out of the wielder's hair and body.
==Abilities==
At its base, Shadow Prison grants its wielder a limited control over shadows and darkness, which - while isn't as great as Attribute/Elemental-Type Sacred Gears such as Canis Lykaon or Night Reflection - still an immensely great control that ordinary Elemental Magic has difficulty performing.
For the most part, it allows the wielder to bind, imprison, and/or otherwise stop any object or being by completely surrounding them within a field of absolute darkness. While sealed within the field, any imprisoned being will have their life-force slowly drain from them until their body disintegrates into the darkness after an extended amount of time. They can also control their targets pinned to the ground by their shadow and drag into the field via tendrils of darkness.
It is extremely difficult to break through the darkness, not even by the light created by top-tier Light Magic or the gods' ethereal energy, as only the light constructs created by the angels' and fallen angels' celestial energy are capable of this particular feat.
==Forms==
===Malebolge Vritra Promotion===
Malebolge Vritra Promotion, also called Dragon King's Flame Prison of Guilt, is Genshirou Saji's X-Side Balance Breaker of all four Vritra's Sacred Gears, Shadow Prison included. It creates a black Scale Mail which strengthens Genshirou's capabilities, with a dark aura surrounding him that instantly disintegrates any weapon or attack that comes into contact with him. The aura also automatically reaches out to bind any being whose bloodlust is directed toward him within a 10-meters radius.
==Trivia==
*Like other Vritra's Sacred Gears, it's categorized as a special Trap-typed Sacred Gear.
