Aura Restructure

**Aura Restructure** (オーラの再構築 *Ōra no Sai Kōchiku*), formerly known as **Weakness** (弱点 *Jakuten*), is the Quirk used by Kei Yamagishi.

## Description

Aura Restructure allows the user to interact with the life energy of all physical matter, allowing them to destroy said physical matter through the deconstruction of its aura, and then reconstructing it into whatever form the user wishes, if not simply leaving it destroyed, just as one of the quirk's parent, Overhaul, does with standard physical matter.

Just as Overhaul is capable of doing, Kei, through his own quirk, is capable of deconstructing matter and reconstructing it into shapes favorable to himself and hostile to his enemies. When activating Aura Restructure on an entire area, the deconstruction is almost instantaneous, however the reconstruction of the object takes slightly longer, as the objects physical matter needs time to catch up to its aura. In the case of fractured terrain, where the surface is split into disconnected pieces, Kei is able to reconnect the terrain through the conglomeration of the terrains aura, allowing him to reform the surface into one solid mass.

Kei is able to recombine two different objects or beings into a single entity that possesses components of both subjects, including Quirks. He performs this by holding both elements he wants to merge with each separate hand. It's possible for a combined entity to further transform as well, as long as Kei merges it with additional objects.

### Weakness

Similar to Overhaul, Aura Restructure requires the user to make physical contact with the element they wish to deconstruct with their hands, meaning they become completely restrained if they are unable to use their arms.

Another weakness of the quirk is that, due to it adapting the properties of Etheria Phantasma, it has a passive effect of affecting its users body, enhancing their physical capabilities using their aura and powered by their fighting spirit, however, due to Kei's more pacifistic and non-confrontational nature, the quirk often times works to make him more frail, as his aura attempts to absorb the aggression and fighting spirit from others' attacks in order to allow it to flare up, but failing in the attempt. In other words, the user needs to retain some form of inner aggression in order for the quirk to work with their body rather than against it.

Finally, like Etheria Phantasma, the user's mental state plays a large part in their control of the quirk. However, this can also play a part in protecting them, as, when Kei was in life-threatening danger, and he fully believed that he was close to dying, his aura would flare up to protect him.

## Usage

Kei's typical usage of Aura Restructure in battle is to deconstruct the terrain around him, usually reforming them into whatever shape or form he needs it to be in for a given situation. This typically ranges from shields to protect from oncoming attacks, or forging the terrain around himself into weaponry, similarly to what his mom does with her own quirk.

Due to the nature of the quirk, allowing its user to alter the metaphysical "body" of a construct to affect its physical body, the user is able to create much more complex shapes and constructs from disassembled substances due to the more fluid nature of it, however, prior to Kei's acquisition of the remnants of Musashi's Etheria Phantasma, it was still relatively stagnant and linear in its application. Following the acquisition, Aura Restructure allowed Kei a much wider range of constructs at his disposal.
