Kilokilo

**Kilokilo** (Hawaiian for *Witchcraft/Sorcery*) is a spellcasting art created by Nu'u that acts as the primary spellcasting art for the residents of Kai Kai, primarily seen as the Neo's spellcasting art. Unlike most other spellcasting arts, Kilokilo uses an accessory in the form of a wearable Moai as the medium for its usage, empowered by a user's own Reiryoku. Kilokilo spells primary follow a central theme in **Connections**, instead utilizing a user's direct past life to perform spells. Upon unlocking Kilokilo, a user that has not activated their Inner World will suddenly gain the ability to enter, and leave, their Inner World as they see fit.

There is a distinction between a Neo Kilokilo user and a non-Neo Kilokilo user, and that is entirely based upon the origin of the past life for its user. A Neo Kilokilo user will draw out the power of Kilokilo from their **Laulā**, a physical and spiritual representation of their past life, whereas a non-Neo Kilokilo user will only be able to draw out the power of their past life in a spiritual sense. As such, non-Neo Kilokilo users generally exhibit half the power than a Neo-based Kilokilo user, but this limitation can eventually be circumvented by proper training and hard work. A spiritual representation of a past life also doesn't allow for Kilokilo users to access and utilize a Neo race's own techniques. It was reasons like these that Kilokilo was seen as possible for all races, as there are cases of people being unsure as to why they are acting a certain way, where it's speculated that their past life is having a sort of influence on their reincarnation.

A Moai for Kilokilo's purposes are often an accessory, as in a necklace, or even something as small as a ring with a Moai acting as the gemstone. A user of Kilokilo will divert their past life into the Moai accessory to begin performing spells. An **Oli** (Hawaiian for *Chant*) can be used to enhance the strength of the casted spells, but more through the connection between the user and their past life. Finally, a plethora of Kilokilo spells utilize connections between the user, their past life, and another aspect. It is for reasons like these that residents of Kai Kai are very spiritually inclined, and treat their connections with others, including non-sentient life, as something that outsiders could see as religious.

## Nomenclature

Kilokilo is unique compared to the other spellcasting types, instead following its own nomenclature system that always consists of a **Kuʻuna** (Hawaiian for *Essence*), and can sometimes consist of either, or both, a **ʻIkepili** (Hawaiian for *Identity*) and **Manao** (Hawaiian for *Version*).

### Kuʻuna

**Kuʻuna** (Hawaiian for *Essence*) is a component to Kilokilo that is absolutely needed, and will always be used, where it will function as the core of the spell. Because of Neo being reincarnated from various types of races, along with Neo incorporating other types of cultures from all races, Kilokilo was developed with these cultures in mind, as a Kuʻuna is not only limited to Kuʻuna-specific terminologies, such as one being able to utilize a concept like Kahiʻipo, the Neo speed technique, as a Kuʻuna, and then augment it with the other categories of Kilokilo. It is possible for spells to have multiple Kuʻuna to them, but in doing so, it divides the power of the spell between the Kuʻuna. Examples include if there are two Kuʻuna being used, each of those would be at half power, whereas if one used three Kuʻuna, each of those would be at 33% of their power.

Furthermore, Kilokilo-based Kuʻuna, similarly to the majority of Kilokilo usage, is amplified through the connections the user makes. As such, already available elements augments the potency of a Kilokilo spell. However, this does not include Kilokilo-made elements. For example, a user cannot use a **Ke ahi** Kilokilo spell and then use another Ke ahi spell to connect with that fire to augment their next one. Even when using other similar spells, such as a Fire-based Kido spell, does this limitation apply. If someone other than the user would use a Fire-based spell, then it would be possible to augment their own Fire-based Kilokilo spell. It seems like a user trying to connect with something they produced prior is treated as connecting with themselves, thus making it impossible for augmentation through Kilokilo means.

* **Papau** (Hawaiian for *Shallow*) is the term used to denote the usage of spells lacking any elemental designation.
* **Kihapai** (Hawaiian for *Field*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Earth**.
* **Malu** (Hawaiian for *Shade*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Darkness**.
* **Uku** (Hawaiian for *Charge*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Electricity**.
* **Ke ahi** (Hawaiian for *Blaze*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Fire**.
* **Hau** (Hawaiian for *Frost*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Ice**.
* **Hoʻohihi** (Hawaiian for *Dazzle*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Light**.
* **Nani** (Hawaiian for *Scenery*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Nature**.
* **Haumia** (Hawaiian for *Pollution*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Poison**.
* **Palemo** (Hawaiian for *Drown*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Water**.
* **Makani** (Hawaiian for *Breeze*) is the term used to denote the usage of **Wind**.

### ʻIkepili

**ʻIkepili** (Hawaiian for *Identity*) is an optional tag-on onto a Kuʻuna that comes before it, where its sole purpose is to indicate its potency. If one were to use the Eastern Soul Society's Kido as an example, this is Kilokilo's variant of their numerical system. Any Kilokilo spell that does not have an ʻIkepili is considered to be in its weakest form.

* **Haumana** (Hawaiian for *Pupil*) is the prefix used for a Kilokilo spell that's considered the weakest with a prefix.
* **Hoʻonui** (Hawaiian for *Enhancement*) is the prefix used for a Kilokilo spell that's stronger than Haumana.
* **Holomua** (Hawaiian for *Advance*) is the prefix used for a Kilokilo spell that's stronger than Hoʻonui.
* **Akamai** (Hawaiian for *Skilled*) is the prefix used for a Kilokilo spell that's stronger than Holomua.
* **Kiekie** (Hawaiian for *Superior*) is the prefix used for a Kilokilo spell that's considered to be at its strongest.

### Manao

**Manao** (Hawaiian for *Version*) is an optional tag-on onto a Kuʻuna that comes after it, holding the sole purpose to indicate the form it would take, be it as an offensive spell, defensive spell, or any other type of category that a user would be able to think of. Like with Kuʻuna, it is possible to use multiple Manao for a spell, but as a result its power is divided between the components.

* **Pehu** (Hawaiian for *Swell*) is the suffix used for **Enhancement**.
* **Laau** (Hawaiian for *Cure*) is the suffix used for **Healing**.
* **Heleuma** (Hawaiian for *Anchor*) is the suffix used for **Stationary Transportation**. This is primarily used to transport to another person, place, or thing, in response to having a connection formed with them. This technique is mainly used in the formation of the **Moai Network** that Kai Kai residents use to transport themselves between locations, even between Worlds and Realms, through connections. This is only necessary during the setup. After a connection is made, the user will setup a name for that specific area, and then can freely call the name to transport themselves there. However, to freely transport, it does require for one to be near an object that's been added to the Moai Network, or else it will not work.
* **Holo** (Hawaiian for *Ride*) is the suffix used for **Mobile Transportation**. Unlike its Heleuma variant, this allows for users to transport themselves within a specific World, or Realm, to any coordinate they are aware of as a result of sensing. While Holo is more useful in combat situations, since it allows the user to teleport freely, its glaring flaws are circumvented with Heleuma, as Holo can become obsolete when connections, such as through sensing, are disrupted.

## Trivia

* The image used for Kilkilo's infobox is that of Magicians Unite from the Yu-Gi-Oh! series.
* Kilokilo's nomenclature was suggested by Marcus, which was then inspired by the nomenclature used by the Zatch Bell series.
* If one were to relate ʻIkepili to Kido's numerical system, it'd be:
	+ Unclassified as 1-10.
	+ Haumana as 11-30.
	+ Hoʻonui as 31-50.
	+ Holomua as 51-70.
	+ Akamai as 71-89.
	+ Kiekie as anything 90 or above.
