Law of Equivalent Exchange

Quirk Name: L.E.E.

Quirk Type: Transformation / Emitter

Quirk Overview: Law of Equivalent Exchange allows the user to obtain something in exchange of something else of the same value. It also allows him to create portals by placing salt near a special ritual formula. The quirk manifests through lightning forming around the object that’s going to be given and the object that’s going to be changed. The lightning is harmless, but it can also appear at will from the user’s palm to act as light. The user also has manipulation in a 10 meter range radius around him over his exchanged objects, and is able to move them at such speed that they appear like a blur.

Quirk Limits/Drawbacks: As stated above, to obtain anything, you must give something of equal *value*. The value can be interpreted in many ways, but there are three main ones that can be considered; value as in how expensive an object is, value as in how useful an object is; and value as skill.

For example, for the ‘value as in how expensive an object is’, if there are two gold watches without any difference between them, if one of the watches has a Rolex logo on it, it will value more than the other one because human’s consider it more valuable. Value as skill is something pretty weird. The user can give up on one skill temporarily to gain a boost in another thing. He can give up his strength for speed, or his ability to balance things very well for skill in mathematics. He is limited to a range of 10 meters for his exchanges. The quirk also works on humans or organic stuff. The user could give his own life in exchange for another person, or could exchange an arm and fingers from the other hand for a robotic arm. When trying to exchange things from another human being, he has to have their permission, otherwise the quirk won’t work.

He can create almost anything from his imagination as long as the value is equal. The user can also bring back an object to the original form it had before being exchanged, but it doesn’t work on organic stuff. For example, if the user gave up his own arm, he couldn’t get another organic one back.

When using the teleportation formula, the amount of salt placed near it depends on how many people will travel through the portal. 50 grams of salt are enough for one person. The portal can only travel to other formulas drawn by the user, to a position which he sees, or to coordinates if he knows them.

Quirk Strengths: It grants a versatile arsenal due to his ability of changing objects nearly instantly.

Quirk Weaknesses: L.E.E. doesn’t have many weaknesses, as it isn’t something simple like an elemental quirk. Lightning manipulation quirks can interfere with his exchanges and make a complete mess, or an explosion. The exchanges and portals don’t seem to tire the user more than normal quirk usage should, but exchanging body parts is incredibly painful, even considered worse than death. Even if the user isn’t exchanging his own body parts, both him and the patient will suffer the same pain. Depending on how much is changed at once, it can even make him tired and weak for a whole week. The user cannot exchange organic body parts from someone else if he doesn't have their permission.

Future Development: The quirk is pretty simple, and it isn’t a quirk that technically allows the user to have many moves or abilities, but there’s still many aspects to it that haven’t been found out by the user yet.
