Shidai Spiritual Torc

[Arantima Kawada]

Name: Shidai Spiritual Torc

Description: Each of these Necklaces are a Torc style Necklace made of Spiritual steel with Sekki sekki rock at the ends compressed into balls resting against the wearer's clavicles. These Torcs are likewise inscribed with a seal on the back and set with several gems made of crystallized Reaitsu infused blood that sits against the back of the neck. This seal paired with the gems are Connected through Specialized Kido to the Actual gates of the Senreimon, the walls of the Seireitei. Each Gate has the seal inscribed in Reaitsu ink to solidify the connection between the gate and the Torc. The Torcs are Truly their best when in range of the Gate they are attached too, and yet still produce an effect without being in proximity to the gate.

These Torcs create a Shakonmaku around the bearer, this Shakonmkau is small and weaker in scope than the Shakonmaku that protects the Senreimon. The Shakonmaku Barrier Has a Durability equal to the IP of the worn Torc. This Shakonmaku only works against physical things formed of spirit particles, The bodies of Shinigami, Hollow, Arrancar and Sinners. As well as manifestations charged with Reaitsu, Ice shards, Stone projectiles, Metal shards.  While Within Range of the Gates the Torc makes the Senreimon and the Shakonmaku created by the Senreimon Impenetrable. However the Gatekeeper must be OUTSIDE of the Shakonmaku for this effect to manifest, while within the Shakonmaku the Torc can not properly charge the Gate and walls.

Alright, let me make sure I understand this item properly.

The short of it is that these are necklaces that are keyed to Seireitei's four gates, and that they are able to produce a barrier. This barrier has a durability equal to the Torc's IP (500/650/800). It only blocks objects made of spiritual particles, so it would have little use against, say, Human World Dwellers attacking in melee range. As an IC-only effect, it boosts the barrier of whichever of Seireitei's Gates it is near to be impenetrable, essentially forcing an invader to fight the Gatekeeper (who is outside of the barrier and thus vulnerable) in order to get through.

If any of this is incorrect, let me know, but I'll be going on those assumptions for this preliminary grading.

Now, what is the point of the Reiatsu Bank, if you don't mind my asking? Short of races that can regenerate Reiatsu (mostly Quincy), putting that Reiatsu into a separate bank to just be withdrawn later seems to really make no difference as opposed to just holding onto it. The only two uses I can see for it are to avoid abilities that drain Reiatsu from the target, and to maintain Reiatsu if you dropped your maximum spiritual pressure and tried to save the extra in a separate device so that you don't actually lose it. The latter is a bit of a loophole that will need to be considered, but if you have another purpose for it, let me know. I'm more curious than anything.

One thing that concerns me is the limits on use of this. I understand the IC purposes, but if it's limited to two squads and only the top three in those squads, it feels a bit too limited and a bit exploited to draw those funds from a family that has been mostly inactive up until this point. I would ask that the funds actually be provided by the people using them, simply because family funds are to be used for family matters, not general ones.

I think you were mostly just arranging costs on this, so for the time being I'm going to remove this from the queue; feel free to bump and report the bump when you've updated this!

I also would like clarification on what the Reiatsu Bank is for in the Bonuses section before I can pass this.

[Arantima Kawada]

In all honesty. Its been so long I cant recall what it was placed there for other than a method of Having the character Place a "Reserve" of reatsu So that in the event they were drained to 0 it would be able to act as a safety net. As the torc Drains extra Reatsu from the user The entire time it is worn so it's a safety net that The user can put away to ensure that they dont overspend.

It entirely can be removed without issue.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

I'll 1/2 it either way up to you.

[Arantima Kawada]

Ill leave it in as a safety net. Thanks Kyo!
