Mirror Realm

This realm is summoned in two turns. Once summoned this realm consists of 16 mirrors on the bottom level, which rests flush with the ground, these mirrors are 5 feet 6 inches in height, 3 feet wide, and three inches thick, the spacing between them is 5 inches. This creates a circle around the two opponents with a circumference of 54.666667 feet. The second level of mirrors resting 5 inches above the bottom level. At the same dimensions of the lower mirrors (3" x 3' x 5'6" wink with a spacing of 5 inches between each mirror. 16 mirrors reside upon this second level creating a circumference of 27.333334 feet. This second level of mirrors varies from the first level because these mirrors tilt slightly at a 45 degree angle. On the third level a mirror with circumference of 27.333334 feet 5 centimeters thick hovers over the opening of the second level at a height of 5 inches. A mirror on the bottom level appears as well as it rises from the ground the bottom layer of mirrors rises and hovers 5 inches above this basement level mirror. This mirror has a circumference of 54.666667 feet. This traps the two opponents inside the mirror realm. This realm will only reflect the image of Katze and not the other person as they are his mirrors. To procure this realm Katze must let drop three drops of his own blood upon the floor just before him the first level of mirrors springs up the instant the first drop of blood hits the ground then the second level the third drop of blood hitting the ground happens in the second turn. In the second turn the last two mirrors close off the realm completely. The only way out is to break a mirror. Once the mirror realm is completed Katze's reflection is shown in every single mirror stepping back into a mirror his physical body joins the reflections. As soon as Katze enters into a mirror his physical body vanishes from the realm into one of the 34 mirrors that make up the mirror realm. From this position using mainly long range weapons Katze will attack, this attacking will simultaneously happen through out all the reflections yet only the ranged weapons that the actual form of Katze throws will be thrown. The way of travel through the mirrors is by reflection the basement level mirror can not be broken, how ever the other 33 mirrors can be. Traveling from reflection to reflection allows Katze to attack from any direction he wishes, his body moving at the speed of light from mirror to mirror. This movement is done in such speed so that when he leaves a mirror his reflection does not falter. While traveling from reflection to reflection and once inside a mirror Katze can not be harmed. Once again the only way to break out is to break a mirror. Magic attacks against the mirrors will simply be reverted onto the caster of the magic bouncing off the mirrors only physical attacks will break the mirrors. This realm can only be summoned once in a match.

Soul Trapping

This is done on the 5th turn of the mirror realm being in play. (1) The top and basement mirror begins to glow a luminary light from the outside edges of the mirror. (2) The basement mirror begins to liquefy still keeping its reflective properties it begins to reflect the image of the victim to the third level mirror. (3) The feet of the victim begin to sink into the liquefied mirror as though it were quick sand. (4) the full image of the victim is shown in the upper mirror. (5) The soul of the victim is taken trapped inside the third level mirror killing the opponent below. The body of the victim sinks into the basement level mirror, leaving only the realm and Katze behind. The only way to escape this is to escape the mirror realm.

Mirror Trapping

This is a technique that traps the body as well as the soul in a mirror. (1) By letting a drop of blood from his right hand fall from each of his fingertips

(4 turns) This ability is an odd sort of ability it allows for the user to cast small strings of his chakra from the tips of his fingers. Normally the strings are produced using the left hand and come from the tips of the fingers. The strings of chakra are not breakable by the use of weapons or strength. Being strings they are vulnerable to magical fires of a certain temperature. This temperature must be stated in the attack post and must be directed at the strings. Any magical flame of the temperature 1000 degrees/F or above is the only means of destroying the strings. The strings snake slowly from the left hands fingers in hair thin lines and are meant for one purpose. The thin lines glow a soft blue color and are that of the life force of the caster. The will of the caster determines the glow of the strings. Once willed from the opponents life force they will glow from a soft pulsating glow to that of a vibrant strong blue. The strings have a limit of distance of 30 feet before the effectiveness of them is null. When the caster raises his left hand and wills the life force of himself into the thin strings they will slowly snake forth through the air toward the opponent of the caster. The caster has full control of the strings, they will not flow with the wind nor will they be turned against the caster. Meant specifically to attach themselves to an opponent this is their primary function. If they reach their mark (which can be any part of the body, yet they are normally aimed at the chest cavity) they will sink through the pores of the skin painlessly. Once inside of the opponent they wrap around the organ or bone of the casters choosing. They can only wrap around the nearest organ, for example if they sink into the left side of the chest they will wrap themselves around the heart or left lung, once they have wrapped around the organ the opponent will feel nothing. The strings detach from the casters fingers and reside around the organ they have captured. At this point the caster only has to will the strings of his life force to begin constructing and the strings will begin the task. They will constrict until they are burned from the organ/bone or until the organ/bone has been sliced through. If the strings are burned out no harm to the opponent is done, yet if any other means of removal is attempted the strings will react violently and strike out at the surrounding organs lashing and whipping creating damage until the caster stops them. The turn bases as follows; turn one the strings flow from the fingers and toward the opponent. Turn two the strings have reached the opponent and are sinking into the skin (the strings can be dodged yet they are controlled individually and may be sent in various directions, it only takes one sting to do enough damage to kill or destroy). Turn three the strings are wrapping around the organ. Turn four if the caster wills it death.

These are weapons used in hand-to-hand combat. Brass knuckles are pieces of metal, usually steel despite their name, shaped to fit around the knuckles. Designed to deliver the force of punches through a smaller and harder contact area, they result in greater tissue disruption and increased likelihood of fracturing the victim's bones on impact. The design also allows for the force of the punch to be distributed along the attacker's palm across a greater area so that his or her fingers are not damaged. Katze Kurosaki BlackMamba made this set of Twin Gold Knuckle Dusters from an alloy of titanium and gold, since gold is a soft metal the titanium increases the dexterity of the weapon. The Gold Knuckle Dusters are the single most destructive weapon Katze Kurosaki BlackMamba has created in such as the hardness of the metals the weapon was created with creates much disruption of the tissue when force is used with the weapon. These Twin Gold Knuckle Dusters are in the regular fashion. The weapon is no bigger then the size of the users palm in this case the size of both is 3 1/2 inches in length the four finger holes range in varying degrees of size from the smallest at the pinky to the largest at the forefinger. The rings are round upon the sides but inter lock providing a smooth fist however the top of the ring is flat providing more surface area to cause damage to flesh upon impact. The base of the weapon is sculpted to the palm of the wielder the overall width of the weapon is 3 centimeters in width, 3 1/2" long in length and its highest peak rests at 4", easy to conceal this weapon can be hidden any where on the body but is most commonly kept in the back pockets for easy retrieval

Tessen (鉄扇⁠?⁠) were folding fans with outer spokes made of iron which were designed to look like normal, harmless folding fans or solid clubs shaped to look like a closed fan. Samurai could take these to places where swords or other over weapons were not allowed, and some swordsmanship schools included training in the use of the tessen as a weapon. The tessen was also used for fending off arrows and darts, as a throwing weapon, and as an aid in swimming. These twin pair of tessen are pure red in back coloring with white dragons imprinted upon the right and left side of a ying yang which resides in the dead center of the tessen the spokes are made of the same titanium/diamond alloy that Kawashika is made from increasing the strength of the weapons exponentially, this also makes them heavier to the wielder yet in the same instance allows for easier deflection of projectiles. The construct of the tessen makes them to heavy for throwing but it can be done with enough force. This act should only be done when it is in a dire situation as the stability of the tessen is not great due to their weight. The Twin Red Dragon Tessen are specially made to go along with the katana Kawashika when used in junction with one another the tessen act as a shield to deflect attacks the fabric thin metal that makes up the red of the tessen allow it so that glancing attacks are deflected if taking a direct blow one should take caution in making sure that the blow lands in the middle area of the tessen this will provide the wielder to deflect the blow and provide the wielder with a instance to close the tessen trapping the opponents weapon between the spokes after the weapon is trapped the possibility of disarming the opponent of their weapon is great. When a tessen is closed upon a blade the act of disarming an opponent is almost a sure thing. For the spokes of the Twin Red Dragon Tessen are grooved with small spikes that will dig into the metal of the opponents blade creating a grip upon the blade that takes a massive amount of force to relieve the blade from this grip. The purpose of the tessen is not so much to be used as a weapon as it is to be used as a guard however the tessen can be used as a weapon, it can be thrown, or the thin metal fabric made of the same titanium/diamond alloy can be used as a blade this usage is not so much to harm an opponent as it is to distract them from another attack such as an open handed palm strike from the free hand the metal fabric will cause severe damage if it slices the right place it does not create large gashes, but it does create deep incisions in the flesh the tips of the spokes rise out a centimeter from the thin metal fabric to help in the cutting process or if thrown to work as a projectile the spokes cutting through the flesh if they make their mark capable of leaving a one inch gash. How this works is the grooves previously mentioned tear the flesh as the tessen slices across the skin. The tessen are a very precise weapon to use taking years of practice and mastery. The tessen can be your best way to defend your self or be a brutal attack. Pretty yes, but don't let the beauty of these tessen distract you from the deadly usage of them.
