Terminology

This page explains the different terms that appear in the Shaman King Fanfiction series.
==Guardian Ghost==
: are the spirits that accompany their Shaman Fighters, similar to partner Shaman Fighters. They can communicate with them and enable them to use various skills such as Spirit Unity or Spirit Control. The relationship between the Guardian Ghosts and the Shaman Fighters can affect their fighting ability, as well as their loyalty. Depending on the Shaman Fighter, the Guardian Ghost can be treated as a friend or a companion. However, if the Guardian Ghost does not agree with the actions of their Shaman Fighter, they can choose to disobey or abandon them, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.
==Furyoku==
: is a term that refers to the amount of sixth sense a person has. It can be enhanced by experiencing a near-death situation, such as when Renton Michael Thūrwolf Jr. trained with three of Hao's followers. His power gradually increased and became stronger, but most shaman fighters can create a Spirit Control with their own Furyoku level. This means they can control not only their own guardian ghost, but also more powerful forms of Spirit Control.
==Reiryoku==
: is the spiritual power and strength of a ghost, which can manifest as magic and supernatural abilities. A shaman fighter needs to consider the Reiryoku level of a spirit when creating a Spirit Control, because it affects how much Furyoku, or shaman fighter's own energy, is required to form an S.C.
===Reiryoku Levels===
==Liljien==
The : is a medium-sized red book that contains all the knowledge that Eliza Snape has written down. Lilly, who found a copy of this book, often carried it around with her and sometimes read all the information about other people, cultures and other subjects in it.
==Hitodama Mode==
 is the typical form of a guardian ghost before using Spirit Control. In this form, the ghost can shrink in size and sometimes have a fiery tail with some minor details. Occasionally, the guardian ghost can assume this form without intending to use Spirit Control, perhaps to save space.
==Spirit Unity, Spirit Control, Double Spirit Control, Double Medium, Armor Spirit Control and Spirit Control Multi-Spirit==
: is a type of Spirit Control that lets the spirit possess the shaman fighter's body. The spirit does not appear in the real world, but only takes over the body for a short time. This type of Spirit Control uses very little Furyoku, because the spirit does not materialize, but only inhabits the shaman fighter. It is one of the first types of Spirit Control that was shown.
===Spirit Control===
: is the result of a Shaman fighter placing his guardian ghost into a shaman Medium to create a powerful weapon or to manifest the ghost into the real world.
===Double Spirit Control===
:
===Double Medium===
: A Double Medium where two shaman Mediums that are combined into a new single shaman medium in order to create one single Spirit Control.
===Armor Spirit Control===
: The most powerful and most efficient form of Spirit Control that excels in offence and defense.
===Spirit Control Multi-Spirit===
: A Spirit Control where two spirits are channeled across two shaman mediums in order to create one single Spirit Control.
==Shaman Medium==
A shaman medium is an item that is used for Spirit Control. It is usually something that reflects the shaman's guardian ghost, such as Eliskūya Michael Thūrwolf's evil katana, Dark Harusame, or Renako Kuina Tearson's kendo sword. However, some shaman mediums can change to show a power increase of the shaman fighter or their guardian ghost. This happened to both Eliskūya and Renako, who needed a second shaman medium to enhance their second power and learn new techniques.
==Dobie Tribe==
The Dobie Tribe was an Apache tribe that participated in the Grand Shaman Fight as council members. The Dobie were skilled shaman fighters and had developed their own unique shaman techniques. However, the Dobie were also notoriously poor. Some council members had complained about this, but the main reason for their poverty was that they had to pay for the lodging and repairs of the poor shaman fighters who came to their area every five hundred years. The Dobie followed a policy of "do what's necessary", which most of the council members respected, but some caused trouble for them.
