Aiming to make sure she can actually use this technique after her most recent CiU.
Technique Name: Lanze der Ketten (Lance of Chains)
Class: 5, 3, 1 (Class 3 TTP Cost. Learning this technique teaches all three Classes.)
Technique Type: Quincy Technique.
Usable By: Vandenreich Quincy.
Technique Element: Shadow.
Technique Description and Effects: Making use of the Vandenreich ability to manipulate shadows, Lanze der Ketten is a technique that aims to solidify the shadow of a Quincy’s arrows, creating powerful binding traps from an arrow’s location, or by temporarily allowing the Quincy to utilize these chains for various purposes.
By doubling the cost of a Class 5, 3, or 1 arrow, the user can manifest a chain, formed at 800 speed, from the fletching of a reiatsu arrow fired from their Quincy bow. These chains are treated as arrows, and have a durability based on the Class used; a Class 5 chain has 50% of the user’s SpPr, a Class 3 chain has 100% of the user’s SpPr, and a Class 1 chain has 200% of the user’s SpPr. Depending on the stage of Mastery of Lanze der Ketten, these chains have the option to connect to a few different points.
Learned: Chains will point directly toward the nearest surface when the arrow strikes a target, binding the target struck to that surface. At Learned, an arrow infused with Lanze der Ketten must strike a living target in order to take effect. Up to one chain can be manifested from each individual arrow.
Proficient: Chains can now connect from surface to surface, retracting from both points until pulled tightly upon binding. At Proficient, an arrow infused with Lanze der Ketten no longer needs to strike a living target, and a chain can be manifested up to three posts after the arrow impacts, instead of being required right away. Up to three chains can be manifested from each individual arrow, requiring the cost be paid for each extra chain.
Mastered: Chains can now connect from a surface to the user’s hand, retracting if and when the user wills it. At Mastered, a chain can be manifested at any point after an infused arrow impacts. When pulling on a chain that connects to their hand, they pull with a physical force equal to the chain’s durability, but the chain will break immediately thereafter. Up to five chains can be manifested from each individual arrow, requiring the cost be paid for each extra chain.
How to use technique: Channel extra reiatsu through an arrow in order to create a chain when they see fit.
Technique Drawbacks: Despite being able to learn this technique as early as Class 6, the cost is rather expensive, and the higher-classed versions can only be used when normally able to obtain those techniques. While slightly cheaper, the lower the Class of the chain, the less durability it has. Only a total of ten chains can exist at a time; Class 5 chains count as half a chain, and Class 1 chains count as two.
