Hengen Muso Style:
*By sending her own life energy into an opponent she can do a defensive rating attack, an attack which damages a target's insides directly. The damage a target receives is directly proportional to the difference between their defensive rating and Rishia own attack power, making it deal much more damage to those with higher defensive ratings.

**Wall: The user creates an invisible wall which can impede an opponent’s movements and block attacks.
**Bead: A counterattack which collects magic attacks together and throws them at the enemy. Producing an effect similar to Naofumi’s magic reflection.

**Hengen Muso Secret Technique, Forth Form; Demon: Rishia's weapon glows red at its tip, but leaves a trail of darkness behind it. It has a blinding status effect.
