Saber Filo [Edge Lore]: Being created from their very being, Caballero has an affinity toward Filo that they just can't achieve for any other weapons, and they have incorporated aspects of the Shinigami they've so far trained with into their technique. This skill dictates Caballero's level of weapon mastery when wielding Filo, how refined their style is. 1 point means they can use Filo adequately, as if trained for a year. 2 means 5 years of experience. 3 means their mastery is unheard of, with the equivalent of decades under their belt. 4 means they go far beyond, and can reliably implement almost impossible maneuvers into their combat style with great success. Being incredibly specialized in this particular weapon, Saber Filo would give them a superior level of mastery than someone with a general Weapons: Sword skill would have, even if both are at 4 SkP. In the event Caballero becomes an Arrancar, Saber Filo applies to their sealed Zanpakuto as well.
However, make no mistake. Being a sword skill, it is possible for others to pick up Saber Filo techniques. These are available to anyone with an appropriate Sword Weapon skill, even if it's not specific; they can even take up Saber Filo to get the highest level techniques, provided they meet Caballero and they agree to teach them.
Apparently, ranks are named corresponding to how Caballero feels about their students's progress when they take these techniques. I'd take them with a grain of salt if I were you:
Happy!
{Tizona}Saber Filo - Tizona [Edge Lore - Tizona]
Technique Class: Weapon's own class.
Technique Type: Saber Filo, Other.
Usable By: Any
Technique Cost: 50 per sword swing.
Description: Flare the user's Reiatsu Strength on their spiritual blade, making it resonate and suffer a spiritual shift. While Tizona is active, take 200% of the foe's Reiatsu Strength: that, and not Strength, will be the stat that dictates how much damage they take when hit by these strikes (100 would be 200). A Proficiency and Mastery reduce this number to 175% and 150%, respectively. Note that this does not allow a 500 Reiatsu Strength foe to flex against incoming attacks; it would just mean they take a lot less damage.
Drawbacks: Reiatsu cost per swing. Requires 1 SkP in Saber Filo or 2 SkP in a suitable, specific sword skill, as well as 300 in Reiatsu Strength. As with all Saber Filo offensive techniques, requires a spiritual blade (e.g. Filo, or a sword made of fire), and does not work with physical items. For Release weapons, they must be based off of Spiritual Pressure or Reiatsu Strength, but the technique still uses Reiatsu Strength in any case, and the blade must still be spiritual in nature. Weapon must be in the user's hands for this technique to be effective. Does not affect any clashes against Strength based techniques.

{Conquista}Saber Filo - Conquista [Edge Lore - Conquest]
Technique Class: 5, 3, 1
Technique Type: Saber Filo, Other.
Usable By: Any
Technique Cost: 50/100/200 Reiatsu per post.
Description: Deploys a simple domain that decreases the post-type speed of those inside except for the user by a flat amount, due to the increased Reiatsu density within the domain. As such, this effect is based on a Reiatsu Strength difference: -20/25/30 Speed per every 50 Reiatsu Strength difference. When deploying Conquista, it uses Reiatsu Strength to clash against someone else's spiritually-based techniques and overall abilities. Physical techniques are not clashed with (a punch would go through normally), but they are subjected to the speed drop, if any, the moment the foe enters the range.
Drawbacks: Requires 1 SkP in Saber Filo or 2 in a suitable, specific sword weapon skill. Requires 450 Reiatsu Strength. Very limited range: 6ft at Learned, 10ft at Proficient, 12.5ft at Mastered. The opponent can easily escape with a step technique regardless of speed, though be warned that the step speed will be reduced given the lowered base number. A foe's after-type speed can never drop below 150. For the speed drop, only whole differences of 50 are counted: if the user's RS is 100 and foe's is 25, it's a 75 difference, and that means only a 20/25/30 speed drop will be applied, depending on technique class. Since the opponent needs to be inside the domain for the speed drop to occur, those with longer range weapons are largely unaffected. If winning a clash against an opponent's field-like effect (as in, something happens around the user within an X feet range), it does not remove it, only neuters them for the user of Conquista.

{Sempiterno}Saber Filo - Sempiterno [Edge Lore - Ceaseless]
Technique Class: 5
Technique Cost: 100
Usable By: Any
Technique Type: Saber Filo, Offensive
Description: Swings of the user's weapon emit power waves with the arc of the swing, at the weapon's Reiatsu Strength. Proficiency allows to unleash them in quick succession. Mastery allows usage of Sempiterno even at melee range, following a normal hit. Shockwave class is equal to its base weapon without enhancements.
Drawbacks: Requires 650 Reiatsu Strength, as well as 2 SkP in Saber Filo, or 3 SkP in a suitable, specific sword skill. As with all Saber Filo offensive techniques, requires a spiritual blade. For Release weapons, they must be based off of Spiritual Pressure or Reiatsu Strength, but the technique still uses Reiatsu Strength in any case, and the blade must still be spiritual in nature. Weapon must be in the user's hands for this technique to be effective. Just like with a strength user's shockwaves, repetitive usage can quickly tire the user. 3 swings per technique activation.

{Elegía}Saber Filo - Elegía [Edge Lore - Eulogy]
Technique Class: 3
Usable By: Any
Technique Type: Saber Filo, Offensive
Technique Cost: 400 Reiatsu
Description: Strike that uses the weapon's OS to break the foe's spirit, causing a three post Reiatsu bleed (100 per tick) that ignores the pseudo-infinite Reiatsu clause for things like Resurrección and Vizard mask. Gaining Proficiency causes it to also strip the foe's spiritual defenses (Cutback, Hierro, Blut...) for the duration of the Reiatsu bleed. Gaining Mastery causes it to further break the enemy's spirit, removing the capacity for a Reiatsu Strength to Spiritual Pressure conversion (and viceversa) for the duration of the Reiatsu bleed.
Drawbacks: Requires 700 Reiatsu Strength, as well as 3 SkP in Saber Filo, or 4 SkP in a suitable, specific sword skill. As with all Saber Filo offensive techniques, requires a spiritual blade. For Release weapons, they can be based off of Spiritual Pressure or Reiatsu Strength, but the technique still uses Reiatsu Strength in any case, and the blade must still be spiritual in nature. Weapon must be in the user's hands for this technique to be effective. Those with +100 Reiatsu Strength than the weapon's OS are unaffected. Effects do not stack, or refresh in any way. Of course, if a defense like Hierro or Blut stops the strike, it stops all the effects.

{Regicida}Saber Filo - Regicida [Edge Lore - Kingslayer]
Technique Class: 2
Usable By: Any
Technique Type: Saber Filo, Offensive
Technique Cost: 400 Reiatsu
Description: 5 hit combo that seeks to tear an opponent to shreds, looking more like a dance than a destructive attack. Implementation of the actual combo is left to the user's mastery and context of the situation. Regicida strikes at the foe with the weapon's current OS, and each hit will eat away at the durability of an armor, defensive construct or item. Class clashes use the weapon's base class.
Drawbacks: Requires 800 Reiatsu Strength, as well as 3 SkP in Saber Filo, or 4 SkP in a suitable, specific sword skill. As with all Saber Filo offensive techniques, requires a spiritual blade. For Release weapons, they must be based off of Spiritual Pressure or Reiatsu Strength, and the blade must still be spiritual in nature.

{Viento Huracanado}Saber Filo - Viento Huracanado [Edge Lore - Hurricane Wind]
Technique Class: 3
Usable By: Any
Technique Type: Saber Filo, Step.
Technique Cost: 300
Description: Some opponents may try to launch a quick first strike or catch someone by surprise with an offensive step technique, such as Sonido Garra or Shunpo Karin. When confronted with an offensive step technique, a Saber Filo practictioner may use Viento Huracanado to launch a quick counter-attack of their own with their own step technique, aiming straight at the opening created by the attack. Speed of this counter-attack is equal to that of the step technique.
Using Úlcera, however, allows for a different application of the technique. While this step is nowhere near as fast, it does not need to be to counter an attack. The user can step in place, flickering in and out of the Valley of Screams, allowing the strike to safely phase through and returning with a counter strike at x5 speed, Úlcera's boost.
Drawbacks: Requires 3 Skill Points in Saber Filo, or 4 SkP in a sword skill. The nature of the technique also requires 300 Instinct. Unless Úlcera is used as a base, if the opponent's step technique is faster, then 2 points in both Battle Focus AND Battle Analysis are required, and it only allows to block, not counter, depending on normal clash rules. Most importantly, this technique can ONLY be used as a counter to an offensive step technique, not the normal usage. Takes up a step tech slot in the post it's used. Strains the user's muscles, much like Shunpo Karin or Sonido Garra.
