Enchanted Tool

**Enchanted Tools** (魅力具, *Miryoku-gu*?, lit. "Charm Tools") are weapons and support items used by Apparitions, Sorcerers and normal humans. These items are purposefully and permanently imbued with both Qi, Shamanic Arts and Sorcery during their creation.

## Overview

### Origin

The concept of an Enchanted Tool has been around since the origin of civilization in the world of both apparitions and sorcerers during the fight against the fiends.

### Creation

The Enchanted Tools are created from a type metal known as **Aethereal Metal** (幽玄金属, *Yūgen Kinzoku*?, lit. "Mysterious Metal"). These metals have the properties of the ores that create the Nichirin swords plus the supernatural ores that exist in myths and have an extremely high saturation of Qi in them.

During the process of the weapon or item being created, the Qi attribute of the item's future user is imbued into the metal during the manufacturing process. The forging is done by members of the Hosogane Clan and other elite weapon forgers who are masters in forging these items using Sorcery spells specializing in forging the item. it is stated that the maximum time to forge this items is twelve days due to the complexity of the spell and the detailed forging process of the item.

### Description

Enchanted Tools are weapons infused with Qi, Shamanic Arts and Sorcery. Due to this, even non-Umoya can use them to combat Fiends. Conventional weapons such as swords, arrows, and bullets can become semi-Enchanted Tools over time if the user constantly imbues it with their Qi and adds sorcery continuously. However, weapons new to the user that are reinforced with Qi are not considered Enchanted Tools.

As with most Apparitions, the Enchanted Tools are categorized from rank black (highest) to bronze (lowest) on their power and potency. The higher the rank, the greater the advantage granted to the user in a battle against their opponent.

Enchanted Tools are also the trademark weapons of the Umoya. Apart from damaging the physical bodies, they are also capable of cutting the life forces and souls of living entities and spiritual bodies, they are among the few weapons which can be used to combat demons more effectively and kill them more easily.

* Unlike the bladed and clubbed weapons, Enchanted Tools that can fire projectiles like arrows and bullets fire these said projectiles out of Qi molded into the shape of the listed projectile and their respective weapon, instead of firing the actual arrows and bullets. This enables the weapon to have a seemingly infinite amount of ammunition for both bows, crossbows and firearms.

### Item Repairing

Unlike most normal weapons, when an Enchanted Tool (more specifically a bladed weapon) is broken, the weapon can restore itself similar to regeneration. This process can be sped up by simultaneously pouring Qi into the weapon and using a Sorcery restoration spell. Apart from the spell, the following requirement is also needed:

* **Above-Average levels of Qi:** An Umoya must have sufficient levels of Qi to repair the weapon, and will not be able to unless their power increases.
* **Above-Average Qi Control:** An Umoya's skill, mastery and control of Qi also contributes to the restoration of their weapon. The higher the skill in Qi control, less time the weapon will be fully repaired.
