Costs are more of a placeholder than anything else! Eager to get some feedback on that.
Technique Name: Espinas [Thorns]
Technique Class: 7-1, maximum class is equal to Caballero's, but they can use it at lower classes at will.
Technique Type: Hollow [Custom]
Technique Cost: 50 +50 per class above 7
Description: A rather straightforward technique that allows Caballero to weaponize their entire body, instinctively developed as a defense to not get eaten due to their originally small size. A myriad black spikes erupt from Caballero's body, although they do not detach themselves. This allows the Hollow to skewer opponents coming from all directions at once. Caballero may keep the spikes out for as long as they want, though this is hardly recommended--instead, the Hollow's preferred usage is to retract them as soon as the target has already been pierced. OS used is Reiatsu Strength, since Caballero's 'body' from which the spikes generate is nothing but condensed black Reiatsu.
The spikes bloom and retract at projectile speed, but they don't reach very far: maximum range is Caballero's height at class 7, gaining 1.5ft per class (for example, Caballero's Vasto Lorde form is 6'0'', maximum is 15ft at class 1). For Gillian stage only, range is 30ft, but speed is equal to a Cero.
Drawbacks: Since they are made out of Caballero's body, damaging/destroying the thorns via an OS clash effectively deals damage to the Hollow as well. Each spike can't change directions and blooms in a straight line. Indiscriminately skewers allies in range as well. Due to a Gillian's massive size, not too useful during this stage--if anything, it creates a lot of extra surface for attacks to hit on an already sluggish target.
Technique Name: Focalizar [Focus]
Technique Class: Equal to Caballero's maximum class (7-1)
Technique Type: Hollow [Custom]
Technique Cost: 50 +50 per class above 7
Description: A technique based on the nature of the extremely dense Reiatsu that comprises Caballero's body. Through sheer strength of will, Caballero can compress this dense Reiatsu even more, repairing and rebuilding their body and giving them access to three uses of techniques named "Focus:" (which would be unusable otherwise) or enhanced effects on their normal ones, in any combination. Healing ability is directly proportional to the technique's class and Caballero's Healing Expertise stat. When purging harmful effects, however, Caballero's Reiatsu Strength will be used in the clash to overcome said effect.
Drawbacks: No other offensive action can be taken in the same post Focus is used. Only three enhanced techniques can be used before Focus needs to be reused. Only certain custom Hollow techniques, as as well as the basic versions of Cero and Bala, can be enhanced via Focus; this must be explicitly stated in the technique description. Healing via Focus can only ever affect Caballero.
Technique Name: Filo [Edge]
Technique Class: 7-1, maximum class is equal to Caballero's, but they can use it at lower classes at will.
Technique Type: Hollow [Custom]
Technique Cost: 50 +50 per class above 7
Description: This technique is affected by Focalizar. A realization of Caballero's intention to become a Shinigami. Caballero uses part of the Reiatsu that forms their body to create a long, sword-like spiritual weapon (85% of their height, so about 2.5ft as a Hollow, massive as a Gillian, 5.1ft as Vasto Lorde...). Since Caballero's 'body' is nothing but their condensed black Reiatsu given form, Filo uses Reiatsu Strength as its offensive stat when cutting something or clashing against other techniques.Caballero's ability using Filo can be upgraded and refined via their Weapons: Sword skill. Filo can be split into two separate swords and recombined at will, but nothing else besides those two forms. It can't stretch, it can't change shapes, it can't curve, nothing.
Enhanced effect after Focalizar: the created Filo gains the 50% OS Clash property as if they were a "Focus" technique.
Drawbacks: Filo cannot be reassimilated to refresh Caballero's Reiatsu. Cannot be used without at least one skill point in Weapons: Sword.
