Even though Hollow Wraith is a path only Beast is on right now, I would like to make some suggestions for how to improve the Path to make it more of an option for others.
First, Hollow Wraith's Nectar, which forces Hollow Wraiths to participate in and win PvP that kills other characters or participate in Adventures, needs a rework in my opinion. I have an IC reasoning for how we can go about that. The Inner Hollow can use a specialized Kidou created by Beast and an NPC Hollow Wraith (which I will attempt to write up) that chains the Shinigami Spirit more permanently. This creates a Seal on the Inner Shinigami that allows the Hollow Wraith to be more stable and not explode like a Failure if they take too long before killing. In exchange, they lose their ability to gain Ressureccion in the Vizard path and instead get a Fusion Release. A release that is half body, half weapon, to go with the Arrancar/Hollow/Shinigami fusion that a Hollow Wraith is. They can unlock (by same process as having to earn Ressureccion) a transformation that changes up to a pair of limbs and their Zanpakutou into a weapon and body transformation with a single Overall Ability and two Techniques. I would call this Wraith Form, though I'm definitely up for suggestions on name, since I'm not good at naming things.
For example, Beast's Wraith Form would look like this.
Wraith Form Appearance:
Beast's Wraith Form transforms his arms into large Gorilla limbs. Thick, beefy arms covered in fur. These arms are about as thick as a small tree's trunk, and measure out long enough for him to be able to touch the ground with them without bending over too much. This transformation brings him back partially to his Hollow Form of his Youth. His pair of Zanpakutou merge and form a flaming Hammer. The hammer takes the form of a Maul, with a heavy flat end on one side and a spike on the opposite end.
Wraith Form Overall Ability:
Beast's Wraith Form embodies the Aspect of Gluttony and Rage, aspects of Beast's personality that are very close to his core essence. The flames of the Hammer don't burn like normal flames do, but instead incite rage and anger in people whom they cast a shadow on. The flames cast a bright light in a ten foot radius around Beast's Maul and dim light in a ten foot radius beyond that. Within that aura of Beast's weapon, enemies and allies alike will find that patience and clarity of thought are more difficult to find. The Calm Mind and Battle Focus skills are reduced by 2 in the Bright Light and reduced by 1 in the Dim Light. If Calm Mind or Battle Focus would be reduced to a negative value, instead the character is Enraged if they do not possess double Beast's Offensive Stat. An Enraged character acts like a Berserker, making it harder to focus on tactics and instead pursue their enemies with full force. Kenpachi's would find it hard to hold back their strength, Technique Masters would find it hard to not use their strongest techniques, characters in general will go All Out against Beast if he is their enemy or against whomever their enemy is.
Beast's Wraith Form also embodies Gluttony. His arms are able to draw in reiatsu like they were using the Gonzui technique. Rather than drawing in Souls, his large mitts are able to draw in any reiatsu based construct or attack and if it has at least half of the attack's offensive stat it can absorb it. Doing so will cause damage to Beast's arms equivalent to taking pain as a Technique Master based on the class of the construct that he takes in. If he doesn't have superiority to the attack, he takes twice as much damage (not just pain, he actually suffers the damage a TM would be pained at). If he succeeds in absorbing the attack, half the reiatsu that went into the attack is added to his pool and his arms exude an aura of that element for two posts. It is two inches wide off the surface of the massive fists, and is not applicable to class clashes. It is unclassed, so it is simply an offensive stat vs offensive stat clash when it collides with reiatsu techniques.
Wraith Form Techniques:
Gluttony Cero:
If Beast has absorbed a Technique's element and is imbuing his Fists with that aura, he can, for 200 Reiatsu, shoot it out in a large Cero like beam that explodes with that element equivalent to the force of a RPG.
Incite Rage:
For a cost of 200 Reiatsu per post, Beast can increase the power of his flames. Each post this technique is active, the range of the flames increases to 30 feet of Bright Light and 30 feet of Dim Light off of the Maul.
