Vitality

**Vitality** is an innate technique belonging to...

## Description

Vitality while simple in nature, is a fairly versatile innate cursed technique, with it being able to manipulate the "Vitality" of an individual. While the word Vitality is used, in reality it is a manipulation of any energy connected to the target's Vitality. Meaning they can effect the Stamina, Physical Strength, Cursed Energy, etc. of a target.

Typically this technique works by absorbing or pilling out the desired energy, when used in an area it pulls it out via a gas escaping the skin of the target. Vitality coming out in a green tint, Cursed Energy in a Blue Tint, Physical Strength inca Red Tint.

While simple at surface level, the use and skill of it beings out great possibilities from the technique.

## Usage

The first and main original use of the technique is the ability to draw out and manipulate the "Vitality" of the desired target. This can be done in two main ways, the first being by acting as a vacuum, being the center point of a specific area within the user's range. An example being a group of targets within a five to ten meter range, can slowly have their "Vitality" pulled from their body. Though a much faster method is established through contact against a foe. This can be done by sapping away by slamming their attacks against them or by prolonging the contact between them.

While simple in its nature, this technique can quickly become a game changer in combat. This will turn any fight against the user as one against the clock as they'll subtly drain them of their strength in many ways. For example against a group of foes they can drain their vitality, quickly cutting the time they can fight shorten as the user will only grow in energy. By draining their strength, the user's attacks will only grow larger while the target's gets weaker, making one side ineffective and the other surpassing it. By absorbing the target cursed energy they can shorten the fights even more, especially against the likes of Cursed Spirits as it'll make them terribly weak and weaken their own innate techniques. This also disrupts the targets flow of cursed energy, disrupting the use of their cursed techniques.

Another skill granted by the technique the user can store up Stamina within them. Besides giving the user a second wind in a time of need, making sure they can last longer in a fight, the excess stamina can be used to physically enhance the user, making them faster, stronger, and more durable. Then adding on the stolen strength of the target makes them even a greater force in battle. This makes the user very physically imposing, able to consistently improve their body as long as they have the excess stamina on hand

The user can also take the stolen energies, condense them down to into a small ball size orb no bigger than a gold ball. They can then just carry them around for future use. The orbs may then be either absorbed (by the technique user) of broken, the "vitality" then begins to flow into the person, refreshing and empowering them with this energy. This means not only can the user of the technique benefit but also acts as a great support. By debuffing their enemies and buffing the allies of the user. Though the user can only form two balls of each respective energy.
