Energy Shift

Energy shift is a transformation quirk used by Haisui Fantomu

## Description

At its basic level, energy shift allows the user to transform their body into a pure energy cloud that slightly resembles a human, but with a ghostly tail. In this form, the user is mostly sentient electricity, but also emits warmth and light. Sub powers of this quirk allow the user to absorb all forms of electricity, even bio-electricity from living things through direct or conductive contact; they are completely impervious to damage as their body will just shift around and reform once the attack is completed. The user in their energy state travels at 300mph but can only travel in a straight line through air, being unable to stop unless they hit a solid, non-conductive object, are conducted into another object or they simply turn off their quirk; they can freely move around in conductive objects or circuitry though. Whenever the user transforms back into a physical state, they keep the momentum they had in their energy state until they slow down naturally or they turn back and shoot themselves in another direction. The user can instantly heal any wound the moment they transform into their pure energy state no matter how severe it is. As a passive effect, the excess energy the user builds up within them courses through their muscles, boosting their strength, speed and durability, even accelerating their healing, but this is pretty much worthless compared to the insta heal the form provides. One final thing, the user is immune to energy based quirks like electric types and even laser types; those quirks are simply absorbed into their body.

The main drawbacks of this quirk are that the pure energy form only lasts a base 3 minutes without constant energy drainage and once those minutes are up, unless they drain more energy to accelerate the process, the form and all its abilities, even the passive ones, cannot be accessed for 3 hours. While the pure energy state can heal any wound instantly, it shortens the time limit of the form and depending on the wound, it can drain a lot; a small cut, scrape or bruise may take a few seconds from the form while a sprain, broken bone, big gash could take a up to a minute from the transformation; sometimes, if the wound or damage is great enough, the user may only be able to transform for a second only to instantly shift back due to lack of energy. If impacting an object physically with the speed of their energy form, the user can deliver a massive amount of damage both to the enemy and themselves if the body isn't properly trained, causing them to shift and heal, therefore shortening their time limit. This quirk is moderately difficult to control, but it is incredibly difficult to master, taking many years of constant training like Haisui did. One last drawback is the opposite of the first; should the user absorb more energy than their body can contain, they are forcefully transformed into their energy state and cannot turn back into human until they've used up all the excess, leaving them unable to physically attack or possess living creatures that have no energy resistance as the sheer amount of power coursing through them would stop their heart.

## Special Abilities

Through years of training, the user can learn to hone and use these abilities.

**Possession:** The user absorbs themselves into a living being, blocks their brain signals and uses their own energy to move the body around. A welcomed side effect of this is that, due to the user coursing through the body of another, they slowly drain them of their bio-electricity, replenishing the form only slightly slower than it can be drained, extending the form up to about 6 minutes while possessing a living creature.

**Electronic Control:** If the user absorbs themselves into an electronic device, they can control what the device does. Haisui has gotten in trouble a few times after stealing one too many snacks from the vending machines.

**Selective Drainage:** While the base drainage just drains energy from the entire body, with enough precision training, the user can drain only certain parts of an object, such as draining the power from the vending machine lasers so that the thing never registers that a food item has fallen. The user can also selectively drain bio-electricity from specific limbs, causing temporary paralysis while still keeping their enemy alive and conscious.

**Selective Shifting:** With training, the user can selectively shift parts of their body into energy states while keeping the rest a physical form, these parts are still attached to the body and will pull it along if fired, but it increases energy and combat efficiency by a huge amount.
