## Abilities and Powers

Yukino Gozen was one of the Inquisitors of the Justice Ministry, tasked with subduing the Yonkishi. Her codename is **Manjusaka** (曼珠沙華, *"Red Spider Lily,"*) she is highly adept at fighting against opponents who specialize in Ars Manus since her entire style allows her to effectively shred apart auras and damage the meridians of those who come in contact with her strikes. Skilled in unarmed combat as well as armed combat, she can dispatch her enemies with powerful consecutive attacks that bombard and destroy the enemy from within. She is incredibly agile and flexible, easily able to manuever throughout the battlefield with numerous somersaults and acrobatic techniques to gain the upper hand against a more powerful opponent. She is also highly adept at Ars Magna to the point where she can compete with Inspector-Class Operatives of Orpheus.

A fatal flaw of Yukino's is that while she is powerful she must be considerate when it comes to how much punishment she can endure in battle. Her endurance is high but her defense is not, meaning that a few devastating blows can leave her in fatal condition or worse. Because of this, she makes use of her high speed techniques such as Senpo and Senbu to create openings where she can exploit the vulnerabilities of her enemies.

### Equipment

#### Nakitsura no Tsurugi

The Nakitsura no Tsurugi is the treasured sword of Manjusaka, reflecting the shadow she once casted away. It is a 66 centimeter katana forged with tamahagane that has magic inscriptions that allow the user to easily and effectively cut through spells with less resistance.

### Innate Abilities

* **Halfling Physiology**: As a demon halfling, Sōma has all of the qualities that would be expected of them such as superb physical capabilties and supernatural blood that allows them to infect humans and resist demon blood to a greater extent.
	+ **Enhanced Smell**: As a member of the Yaksha Clan, she has an acute sense of smell and can even track people who are far away. They work like bloodhounds, being able to find a trail which is made up of a chemical cocktail of scents including breath, sweat vapor, and skin rafts. Once the Yaksha identifies the trail, it will not divert its attention despite being assailed by a multitude of other odors.
	+ **Demonic Transformation**: When she is pushed too far or is exposed to too much demon blood, she succumbs to demon madness. While in this state, all of her capabilities increase dramatically, allowing her to fight against beings that are stronger than her without immediately keeling over.
	+ **Multiple Selves (Type 1)**: As a member of the Justice Ministry, she assumes the identity of Manjusaka who is a ruthless killer that seldom shows remorse for her actions. Her primary goal in this mindset is to hunt demons and bring the Yonkishi down. This change can occur when certain circumstances arise that force her to resort to her old ways.
* **Seithr Manipulation**: She can control eir or it's truest form, seithr. This is described as a sentient, quinessential force that binds all things living or dead, commanding a power that is commonly interpretated as psionic. It is the foundation of every person and is brought to life by becoming an awakener or a maledictus. Yukino is a Maledictus.
* **Master Swordsmanship**: She is very proficient in sword fighting, being able to dispatch greater or lesser foes with strategic wit or battle intuition. She has been shown numerous times to be able to even generate compressed razor winds with a swing of her sword.
	+ **Master Hand to Hand Combatant**: She is also considered a formidable fighter when it comes down to hand to hand combat. She can even manipulate the pressure points on the body to inflict life-threatening damage.
	+ **Acrobatics**: She is incredibly gifted at using parkour in and out of combat. She can also navigate rooftops by leaping great distances, climb buildings with minimal effort and make use of environmental things to get around easier.
* **Ki Manipulation**: As an individual who practices Ars Manus, she is well-acquainted with the internal energy system called Ki. She is even strong enough to manifest an aura of might, which is quite uncommon in the Ayn Sof Universe. She has two aura types Black and Blue, she can also manipulate the abilities of both simultaneously.
	+ **Limited Illusion Creation**: She can generate illusions by using the technique called Senbu or by manipulating the elements to create an illusory field.
	+ **Causality Perception**: With her Blue aura type she can understand all forms of cause and effect relationships, allowing her to effectively see all possible outcomes to a scenario and deduce the correct course of action.
	+ **Hypercognition**: She is capable of making light work of incredibly complex scenarios and finding the best alternatives to solve the issues presented. She can do this in an incredibly short unit of time and this can even be applied in battle since she is able to slice up rain drops and react to enemies who move faster than light.

### Ars Magna

* **Primary Magick**: As with all awakeners or maledictus, Yukino can manipulate all of the elements that are available to her as a person with a natural affinity for Hydro.
	+ **Water Magic**: At 100% Aptitude.
	+ **Fire Magic**: At 80% Aptitude.
	+ **Dark Magic**: At 80% Aptitude.
	+ **Earth Magic**: At 60% Aptitude.
	+ **Wind Magic**: At 40% Aptitude.

* **Secondary Magick**: Yukino can use secondary magick by focusing on a particular aspect of a primary element or by combining two of the primary elements.
	+ **Bubble Magic**: Yukino can combine Wind and Water Magic to create Bubble Magic.

* **Teritary Magick**: She can use multiple teritary magick arts that can give her the much needed edge in any battle or encounter by debilitating her enemies or augmenting herself.
	+ **Spira**: Allows Yukino to create an elemental cloak that enhances all of her physical capabilities.
	+ **Medela**: Allows Yukino to combine Water, Earth and Fire to accelerate internal and natural healing. This can restore broken bones, recreate lost organs and tissues and revitalize the cells.

### Ars Manus

* **Senpo**: She can dash over long distances in a very short window of time by kicking off the ground or air in the blink of an eye, essentially creating a form of pseudo-teleportation.

* **Senbu**: While opponents are glaring at her aura, she can cause them to hallucinate, ruining their sense of direction and time, allowing her to not only dash and cut their meridians but to get in close and get away before they recognize what has happened.
