## Abilities

### Embryo

**Cruel Mercy of Starving Fodder, Jigokuhen** (餌餓慈惨　ジゴクヘン): A Form VI Type Elder Arms Embryo that takes the form of an inkpot. It's ability allows Kikyo to absorb the Resources of those she has killed and transform them into MP in the form of ink stored in the pot.

* **Jigokuhen - To Paint, The Scenery of Death** (末期の景色、描きたりジゴクヘン): Jigokuhen's ultimate skill. An active skill triggered by turning the inkpot upside down and using all of the resources it has collected, multiplying all of the total collected resources by three times and converting it into MP.

### Job

**Formula Princess** (式姫フォーミュラ・プリンセス): A Superior Job from an unknown grouping. As a caster job, its stat growth focuses on MP. The job focuses on creating and summoning shikigami, a type of formless spiritual being similar to those summoned by the Summoner grouping. However, unlike the creatures summoned by the Summoner grouping whose abilities are mostly random, shikigami can be created with their own abilities and status specified by the user. However, a shikigami with ability greater than the user cannot be created no matter the materials used. Also, the more complicated and powerful an ability is created, the harder it will be for the shikigami to be created and even if it can be, the MP cost will be several dozen times greater than a summoned creature of similar power.

Kikyo managed to solve these issues with the MP supply from her Embryo, by simplifying their abilities such as removing any restrictions on who they attack and making their abilities extremely difficult to activate.

* **Meteor** (式神：流星童子めておーる): A shikigami created by Kikyo that takes the form of a humanoid warrior armed with a spear. It flies around and indiscriminately attacks everyone in front of it.
* **Smile** (式神：笑顔姫すまいる): A shikigami created by Kikyo that takes the form of a little girl whose face is covered by a paper with a smiley face on it. After a curse preparation period equivalent to the MP resist of all targets has passed (during which time Smile cannot move) Smile counts down from 10 and any living being in its point of view (120° horizontal and 130° vertical) will be cursed to have their eyeballs, nose, ears and mouth fall off their faces. Once there are no targets in its point of view after 10 seconds, Smile is deactivated.
* **Sacrifice** (式神：矢衾童子さくりふぁいす): A shikigami created by Kikyo that takes the form of a monster resembling a dirty looking scarecrow. Any damage or status effects suffered by Kikyo, her equipment or her other shikigami will instead affect Sacrifice. Its HP is based on the MP used to summon it.
* **Splatter** (式神：粉砕童子すぷらったー): A shikigami created by Kikyo that takes the form of a demon with horns and a physique several times larger than those of humans. It has a wolf fang stick that hides its face with a sheet of paper. It attacks those that Kikyo points at except in self defense. It was made using Kikyo's own Daimyo after she killed him.
* **Toughness** (式神：剛健童子たふねす): A shikigami created by Kikyo that takes the form of a monkey-like monster that resembles a gorilla. It is a shikigami that excels in both physical attacks and physical defenses to function as a tank.
* **Bugs** (式神：胡蝶姫ばぐず): A shikigami created by Kikyo that takes the form of a bewitching woman wearing a butterfly-patterned long-sleeved kimono whose face was covered with a sheet of paper. It has the ability to release countless insects that looks similar to butterflies from its sleeve. These insects have wings as sharp as blades and releases poisonous sclaes that is powerful enough to stop a person's heart even from just a graze.
* **Aramitama Kikishin: Rival** (荒御霊式鬼神 : 阿修羅童子あらみたましききしん : らいばる): A shikigami created by Kikyo that takes the form of a demon god with multiple faces and six arms.
