Spirit Energy

**Spirit Energy** (霊気, *Reiki*?) is a power aligned with the spiritual sensitivity and willpower of the user. It is used by Psychics and other spiritual beings to provide power for their various abilities.

## Description

All humans emit Spirit Energy from their souls. Spiritually aware humans known as Psychics can wield this power by using their emotions to manipulate their spirit.

Spirit Energy can be very powerful if used correctly, but it requires intense training and emotional growth to nurture the power of one's spirit. One's strength of feelings is an important part of controlling Spirit Energy. It is essential that someone understands their own feelings and in order to access deeper levels of the power emitted by their souls.

Spirit Energy is generally blue in color but this can vary from person to person. It can only be seen or sensed by others with high Spiritual Awareness. Spirit Energy can also be measured using special machines and items.

## Usage

Psychics can utilize Spirit Energy in a variety of ways. Spiritual abilities can protect shield their body from harm or enhance their muscles. It can also be used to heal wounds and can even be forged into weapons.

### Spiritual Awareness

Humans who are "Spiritually Aware" can sense the Spirit Energy of other humans, as well as the presence of Spirits and Demons. Such as in the case of the Kuwabara family, Spirit Awareness can be genetic and passed down through a family line.

As one's spiritual faculties grow, they can not only sense but also see Spirits and Demons as well. A Psychic's perception grows as their Spirit Energy does. Someone with high spirit responsiveness can train themselves to develop advanced spiritual implements.

Psychics with a strong awareness of the Spirit World possess a type of clairvoyance thanks to their enhanced perception. (i.e. Kuwabara accurately guided Yusuke's team through Maze Castle, which is infamous for its traps, by sensing the energy emitted by the Four Saint Beasts.)

Strong Psychics can also establish a telepathic connection to another spiritually aware being if they share a strong emotional connection. (i.e. Kuwabara was able to establish a mental link with Yukina because he believed he was in love with her. This enabled him to create a guide to her position and after he got closer to her, he was able to speak telepathically with her as well as view her memories.)

### Strength and Capacity

Spirit Strength refers to the raw power of a person's focused Spirit Energy. Spiritual energy and physical energy can be used as one to attack with devastating force. Strikes with high spiritual attacking power are much stronger than normal physical attacks. These types of attacks can be used to vanquish demons and to assault humans covertly. Energy with high spiritual power can also act as a shield to cancel out incoming attacks.

All attacks created from Spirit Energy rely on the strength of their user's spirit. Physics with considerable spiritual attacking power generally have access to great spiritual capacity, as someone with greater amounts of energy can use more of it to attack.

Spirit Capacity refers to the amount of Spirit Energy someone can use before needing to recharge their spiritual power. Overusing one's Spirit Energy can result in their power running dry, leaving them vulnerable. However, in some cases, intense emotions can draw out power beyond the limits of the user.

### Adaptability and Growth

For a Psychic's abilities to become stronger, their spirit must be able to adapt. Spiritual adaptation relies on how the user's spirit reacts to different situations depending on their emotions. This can allow the user to replenish their spiritual capacity more quickly or use high concentrations of Spirit Energy in the area to increase their own power. The ability for Spirit Energy to adapt is key for the user to gain access to more powerful techniques used to match any danger they're facing.

The energy emitted from the human soul can only be truly harnessed by controlling one's emotions. Spirit Energy responds to powerful emotions more than anything else. A mental or emotional block can impede a psychic's abilities from growing. In contrast, by overcoming personal demons, a Psychic can grow far more powerful than they were. For example, Yusuke's spiritual power grew exponentially when he finally found a reason to use all his strength to protect others.

### Spirit Skills

By utilizing their own Spirit Energy to carry out a function, Psychics can create a paranormal ability that is known as a "Spirit Skill". (i.e. Yusuke can shoot his energy from his finger using Spirit Gun and Kuwabara can forge a sword from his energy using Spirit Sword.)

Spirit Skills can have a vast range of effects because they're personalized techniques manifested from the user's spirit. After being developed, Spirit Skills can be passed down or stolen by other psychics or even demons.
