Technique Name: Soulbind
Technique Class: 4 - 40 TTP (120 with False Shikai); Requires Dedicated Thread.
Technique Type: Soul Release.
Usable By: Shinigami, Vizard.
Technique Element: N/A.
Technique Cost: Half of Shikai Cost.
Description: This is a special technique that was discovered through the use of deep meditation and communion with one’s Zanpakuto spirit. When activated, the user’s Zanpakuto simply disappears, burning away in blue flames. At the same time, the user gains the ability to channel their Zanpakuto’s overall ability through their body. For example, a fire-based Zanpakuto would allow the user to light their fists on fire for hand-to-hand combat, or their entire body as a defensive measure. This is customized by the user upon the learning of this technique, but must be posted in the Create a Technique section and treated as a reserved custom technique for that character. To activate the technique, the user pays half of their current Shikai cost. This technique has the same post limitation as the user’s Shikai duration. Mastery of this technique increases the post duration by five posts. This does not require Release to be active, though if activated during Release, the Shikai used for Soulbind ends.
How to Use: To use this technique, the user quickly communes with their Zanpakuto Spirit, asking their permission to use it. If permission is granted, the user absorbs their Zanpakuto into their body, causing it to burn with a bright blue flame as it disintegrates away, the spiritual ash merging with their material form.
Incantation: N/A.
Drawbacks: No Zanpakuto techniques can be used during Soulbind; only the overall ability is enabled. Also, no other stage of Release can be used for the Zanpakuto that Soulbind is active with. This also causes spiritual damage to both the user and the Zanpakuto; the user is literally consuming their own soul and making it perfectly align with their material bodies as well, which tears at and weakens the spirit. Excessive use of more than twice in a thread without extended rest will leave a Shinigami comatose or kill him. Only Shinigami with Shikai unlocked and usable can learn and use this technique; Kenpachi types that give up Shikai or Technique Masters would be excluded, for example. Vizards may also learn this technique, but commune with their Inner Hollow instead of a Zanpakuto Spirit.
To learn this technique, the user is required to complete a training thread in which they commune with their Zanpakuto Spirit to learn this technique; it is dangerous for both user and spirit, and is incredibly painful for the latter to be forcefully aligned with a material body, so trust must be earned. For users with multiple Zanpakuto, this technique must be learned for each one separately, taking up more technique slots.

{Camila’s Soulbind}
Given her Zanpakutō’s focus toward the theme of draining and consuming blood, Soulbind’s augments come with rather similar effects, all things considered. What this does is allow Camila to actively augment the blood within her body in order to inflict lasting wounds on those she strikes. While her Soulbind is active, Camila utilizes her Spiritual Pressure in order to inflict physical wounds, as her very blood is being charged with the reiatsu of her Zanpakutō. In addition to this, she begins to keep track of Blood Counters as her release would normally call for, and gains an amount as she normally would while releasing her Shikai and through normal means, based on every 10% of her remaining Reiatsu. Any Blood Counters saved from the duration of her Soulbind will transfer to her Shikai/Bankai, should those be released. These blood counters she gains from activating Soulbind are counted toward the ten free she would gain from entering Shikai normally, and does not stack. Bankai will still grant additional counters, however.
While Soulbind is active, Camila can spend 50 reiatsu to forcibly eject blood from any part of her body at a speed of 800; this cost is paid per attack and instance of use, instead of per stream of blood. This blood can be shaped, hardened, and liquefied at-will, and does not need to remain attached to her body. Damage from said blood will grant Camila a Blood Counter. By spending two Blood Counters, Camila can treat her Strength as equal to her Spiritual Pressure for one post, for the purposes of blocking attacks as her blood harmlessly hardens within her veins in order to tank hits.
