### Shikigami Skills Adjustments

For information on the newly established indirect damage as well as poison effects, see the article on damage.

Below are the shikigami whose skills have been adjusted:

1. Ryomenbotoke
2. Shoyo
Note
Curse Book of Heaven works on immune targets. Calculation rules are: first calculating all damage to target while status stays, then damage is calculated based on target defense and Shoyo crit/damage, finally checking against the damage limit. This damage is in line with the rules of indirect damage: it does not trigger mitama effects, cannot be distributed, and is guaranteed to crit against targets with 0 defense.
Compensation Details
Considering that adjustment to Shoyo will affect his use, we've decided to compensate for this, as follows:
6-star Shoyo: 800 ofuda, 1 6-star shikigami conversion ticket (30 days)
5-star Shoyo: 400 ofuda, 1 5-star shikigami conversion ticket (30 days)
Compensation is for the first high-star Shoyo that fulfills requirements, besides this, all other copies get corresponding star level conversion ticket (30 days). (Shikigami conversion ticket can be used in 5/6-star shikigami's "Nurture" -> "Conversion" function)
3. Shiro Mujo
4. Kiyo Hime
5. Chin
6. Jorogumo
7. Sakura no Sei
8. Aobozu
9. Hotarugusa
10. Koi no Sei
11. Juzu
Compensation Details
Considering that adjustment to Juzu will affect her use, we've decided to compensate for this, as follows:
6-star Juzu: 800 ofuda, 1 6-star shikigami conversion ticket (30 days)
5-star Juzu: 400 ofuda, 1 5-star shikigami conversion ticket (30 days)
Compensation is for the first high-star Juzu that fulfills requirements, besides this, all other copies get corresponding star level conversion ticket (30 days). (Shikigami conversion ticket can be used in 5/6-star shikigami's "Nurture" -> "Conversion" function)
12. Kudagitsune
13. Kacho Fugetsu's "World of the Painting" skill control blocking rules have been adjusted:
	* If ally is in controlled status, and the same type of control takes effect again, birds have no chance of blocking.
	* If ally is attacked once and is subject to different control effects, blocking by birds will be calculated separately.
