**Emperor's Rule** (帝法 (テイハッ), *Teihatsu*) is the Inherited Technique [Placeholder] inherited from the Kizen Family. This Inherited Technique is similar to the Cursed Speech of the Inumaki Family as it reinforces the user's words to compel listeners and even objects to act or be acted upon the orders. Although, unlike the Cursed Speech technique the user can use Emperor's Rule at will as it does not require the use of a cursed tool or a particular set of seals, but it is also much more taxing on the user's Cursed Energy and physical body, especially on the throat. In addition, Emperor's Rule directly affects the reflex arc systems of the body as well as the auditory functions in the brain.

## Description

To execute an Order, the user must condense cursed energy into their vocals and activate a cursed technique with a set number or range of words. The shorter the sentence the weaker the effect On the other hand, if the order is longer than it can be more precise and its potency increases proportionally but it becomes much more taxing on the user.

Emperor's Rule commands take a form similar to a programming language, denoting a target, command type, and variables as well. Their commands compel both objects and listeners within the area of reach to act or be acted upon for example, the user can command an object to accelerate in a straight line towards a target. Thus, the object will accelerate continuously until it reaches the point where the target is or was if they moved out of the straight line trajectory. The strength of compulsion and power of the commands on inanimate objects depends on the skill level of the user and their talent to use the cursed techniques.

On another note, the initial manifestation of "Emperor's Rule" is an upgrade to "Lords Authority" (卿権 (キョウケン), *Kyōken*), which is present within any and all Kizen Family members. It allows the Kizen to instill fear and awe within anyone in the vicinity, bearers of this cursed technique naturally make surrounding people "desire" to kneel before the user. However, this is limited only to people with cursed energy levels similar or lower than that of the user or, if the other has a strong enough will to resist the imposing presence. Thus, the user can use their "Authority" to bluff and make themselves look much more imposing to their opponents.

### Strengths

The primary strength of the Emperor's Rule is its immense versatility due to this1 techniques being based on a language. It is especially effective against opponents unaware of the nature of the technique as they may not know the user is able to affect both inanimate and animated objects, making them vulnerable to the users words. On another note, the Kizen are capable of simply mouthing or wording the commands without raising their voice, although this will reduce its power it allows them to catch opponents by surprise.

Contrary to common belief, protecting yourself by manipulating the flow of cursed energy to their brain's section that controls the ear function will not completely protect the user from the users commands. The Commands given not only affect the ears but also the nervous system, more precisely the reflex arcs responsible for a persons reflexes and automatic movements which do not directly pass through the brain.

### Weaknesses

The overuse of cursed speech takes a physical and mental toll on the user. and on the object cursed. The stronger the commands the worse the side effects are, in some cases it may break the object being commanded due to curse energy overflow or backfire the command on the user. This can result in sore throats, coughing up blood, lung damage and losing the ability speak. Although the physical symptoms can be remedied with cough syrup or medicine, the wielders of this ability must train themselves to withstand the mental strain.

Another great weakness of Emperor's Rule, the user must finish their command for it to take full effect. So, finding a way to disrupt the casters command can greatly weaken or even destroy their technique.

However, sending cursed energy to the section of the brain that controls the ears function can lower the effects of the cursed technique and make it possible to counter and/or resist commands much more easily.

## Techniques

### Cursed Technique: Poltergeist

**Cursed Technique: Poltergeist** (術式 「騒霊」 (じゅつしき 「ソウレイ」), *Jutsushiki・Sōrei*), this technique gives commands, similar to a coding language, to inanimate objects and gives a force and direction in accordance to the users command. One very common command the Kizen use is:

```
Effect: Single Target; Generate: Kinetic Force, Homing:<homed target>. Discharge
```

During this they denote the range of effect of the technique as well as, choosing the type of force and energy and qualities of the effect. Thus, turning an item into a fast homing object with variable kinetic energy depending on the amount of cursed energy poured into the technique.
