Mystic Powers

In *Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,* **mystic power** is a seemingly magical power associated with the Yōkai, and is used in various forms throughout their society. It takes many forms, including individual supernatural abilities as well as spells, potions, mystical objects and portals.

## Origin

As revealed in the series finale "Rise", all mystic power in the Yōkai world is ultimately derived from Empyrean, a mutagenic substance which in the very ancient past poured from the eyes of a sacred giant statue in the Hidden City called the Crying Titan. Inside the statue's head lies the long-deceased skeletal remains of a Krang along with broken canisters which originally held the Empyrean. This same substance was also responsible for mutating the Yōkai in the very distant past.

The Kuroi Yōroi also has mystic powers, and it is implied that the Foot Clan use other mystic powers, such as the disembodied flames that appear on top of the heads of certain fully-inducted Foot Clan Members like the Foot Lieutenant and Foot Brute. But the history of the Hamato Clan tells that the Kuroi Yōroi was gifted to Oroku Saki 500 years ago by an oni—an individual of the same species as the skeleton found inside the Crying Titan's head. It is not specified whether these two Krang are the same individual or two separate individuals, and as such it is also not specified whether the power of the Kuroi Yōroi derives from the Empyrean or is a separate Krang technology.

## Types of Mystic Powers

### Manipulations

Some Yokai have the power to manipulate, shape and create anything. This includes fire, water, ice, music, food, etc. They can manipulate anything from their surroundings. For example, if there's a flame nearby, they can manipulate it. The most common power is the power to manipulate the elements. But some Yokai can control other things like objects, weapons, snow, waves, clothing, hair, etc.

### Constructs

Some Yokai have the power to create something out of anything/everything/nothing. They can use anything to create something. This includes their energy or chi, metal, psychic, acid, and even elemental constructs such as fire, water and electricity.

### Enhancements

Some Yokai have the power to deal with the enhancement of anything/something. They can enhanced themselves or can enhanced others as the support-type. Some can even enhanced mystic powers or mystic weapons.

### Support Powers

Some Yokai have the power to support others. They can heal any injuries. Some may possess an aura that surrounds them. Some may have other abilities like invulnerability, extrasensory perception, and regenerative healing factor to name a few.

### Almighty Powers

Some Yokai have the power to either directly or indirectly create, control, manipulate, shape and reshape, everything and anything. Almighty Powers are one of the most powerful forms of mystic powers in the Hidden World. Only a few Yokai could possess one of the Almighty Powers.

## Trivia

* In contrast to the mystic power of the Yōkai, there is another supernatural force, the Hamato Ninpō, which is instead described as a *spiritual* power rather than as a mystical one. This power comes from the combined spiritual force of all living and deceased members of the Hamato Clan, strengthened by the bonds they share as family.
