Kido/Urado

**Uradō** (裏道, *Hidden Way*; *Viz* "Hidden Path"; ; ) is the most powerful and most versatile form of Kidō.

## ***Mechanics***

Like Bakudō and Hadō, Uradō is cast by expending one's reiryoku on the exertion and manipulation of a reiatsu that is not unnatural to oneself.

However, unlike Bakudō and Hadō, Uradō does not expend conventional reiryoku and it does not exert a normal reiatsu. Instead, Urado expends an abnormal kind of reiryoku called **Urayoku** (*Kanji*: **裏力**; *English*: **Hidden Power**) and it exerts an abnormal kind of reiatsu called **Tokuatsu** (*Kanji*: **特圧**; *English*: **Special Pressure**).

## ***Uraryoku***

Unlike reiryoku, uraryoku is not generated by oneself. Instead, uraryoku is procured whenever one integrates reishi into one's soul. Whenever one breathes in air composed of reishi or eats food composed of reishi, one will accumulate uraryoku within one's body. As uraryoku is reiryoku that is generated by and remains within the non-living. Notably, reimyaku and uraryoku are NOT the same. As reimyaku is the spiritual energy of a World, while uraryoku is the spiritual energy of the non-living matter within a World. Just as reiryoku is not reimyaku because reiryoku is the spiritual energy of the living matter within a World rather than the spiritual energy of the World itself.

Because uraryoku is not generated by oneself, uraryoku can only be replenished through breathing and eating rather than through rest. In addition, a supermajority of the uraryoku that one could attains is converted into reiryoku by one's body. As such, breathing and eating does not allow one to accumulate uraryoku with ease. Also, the uraryoku that one does attain is impure from being affected by the World's reimyaku. In order to cast Urado, one must access and use pure uraryoku that has been isolated from the World's reimyaku by one's reiatsu and thereby refined into being as potent and pure as it can be. Overall, uraryoku is difficult to replenish and short in supply. Because of that, even for those with the greatest amount of spiritual energy, uraryoku can not be spammed with as much ease as other spiritual energy.

## ***List of Urado Spells***

### *Raijino Jotai*

The **Raijino Jōtai** (*Kanji*: **雷神の状態**; *English*: **Thunder God's State**) - Is an Ura Hadō created by Ōe Hayanari.

It expends one's uraryoku as a means of exerting a tokuatsu which is able to convert one's reiryoku into reimyaku. Subsequently, by inducing a resonance between one's reimyaku and the World's reimyaku, one can exert a unique and special reiatsu from oneself.

The Raijino Jōtai's reiatsu bypasses all absorption, immunity, and resistance. As such; it can only be blocked, dodged, or redirected. In addition; the Raijino Jōtai's reiatsu can be altered into any Kidō effect as long as one exhibits a sufficient amount of knowledge and skill. Notably, Ōe Hayanari alters the Raijino Jōtai's reiatsu into electricity-elemental reiatsu.

Also of note, Ōe Hayanari's version is known to kill any user whom does not exhibit any variation of Hayanari's genetic identity.
