Furyoku

Furyoku is the essential sixth sense for shaman fighters. It is a product of will power that can be generated naturally or artificially. Furyoku depends on the being's conviction and varies from one organism to another. The King of Spirits grants a certain amount of Furyoku to every living thing (plants, animals, and humans) before they are born, so they can live their own lives. When they die, their Furyoku and memories return to the planet, enriching its spirit and sustaining the cycle of life.
Furyoku is not easy to increase. It is like the five basic senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste) that are innate and cannot be improved by physical training alone. To increase their Furyoku, shaman fighters usually undergo a "pseudo-death" experience, where they lose their physical senses and rely on their sixth sense. During this ordeal, they have to face their own negative emotions and overcome them with their strength of heart. This can either strengthen or break their spirit, sometimes irreversibly.
Another way of increasing Furyoku is by experiencing actual death or near-death. When a shaman fighter is fatally wounded and then revived, their Furyoku level rises significantly.
