Innate Cursed Technique: Reaction
Well, it's time to change the science, instead of space and physics that is used with techniques like limitless or shrine, ladies and gentelmen, today I bring you a cursed technique based in chemistry: Reaction
-Concept: The user can manipulate the rate and behavior of chemical reactions by infusing matter with cursed energy
The technique DOES NOT create matter or elements from nothing, the necessary reactives need to exist so the user can manipulate them
IMPORTANT: The user cannot create a chemical reaction that is impossible under the existing conditions. They can only manipulate a reaction that could naturally occur
- Passive Ability: Chemical Perception: The user has an exceptional chemical perception, if the user touches a substance, he can identify: composition, stability, approximate cursed energy cost to alter a reaction and things like that
It is not omniscience, for example: the user can recognise that a substance is highly reactive but he cannot completely identify what mix it is without studiying it properly
This makes scientific knowledge = power for the user, because a dumb sorcerer would have a very limited technique but a brilliant scientist would have a nuclear bomb
-Base Technique
- Catalyst: It's the fundamental application, the user introduces cursed energy to a reaction to reduce it's activation energy, result? The reaction happens very fast, for example: a little flame wouldn't be able to make a intense combustion, however, the user catalyzes it and... BOOM.
BUT, the user needs something that can react, you can't look at a rock and say "explode" if it isn't any viable reaction, catalyst can't create it
-
Inhibitor: The inverse application, instead of accelerating a reaction, it slows it down, so this technique can: slow corrosion, stop a chemical reaction and stabilize inestable substances. It consumes less cursed energy that catalyst when its used on small reactions
-
Oxidation: The user accelerates oxidation processes.
Against metals: Rapid oxidation, corrosion, structural weakening.
Against organic materials: they can accelerate their degradation, although living organisms are considerably harder to affect because of the complexity of their chemical systems and their cursed energy reinforcement.
This prevents the technique from simply allowing the user to touch someone and turn them into dust.
- Combustion: The user manipulates existing combustion reactions, they can increase: The rate of combustion, the temperature and gas expansion, so things like a small flame can become a significant attack if enough fuel is available
However in an environment without enough fuel, this application becomes practically useless
-
Neutralization: The user can manipulate acid-base reactions, they can alter corrosive elements or neutralize them, in combat this technique is useful to: neutralize dangerous substances, destroy certain materials and create rapid reactions between compatible substances
-Curse Technique Reversal: Equilibrium, the normal technique pushes a reaction away from it's natural state, either accelerating it or inhibiting it
Equilibrium does the opposite: it forces a chemical system towards equilibrium, so this technique attempts to reduce chemical differences within a system (like tryinig to reverse a nuclear explosion)
-
Reaction Suppresion: An ongoing reaction can be forced towards equilibrium example: a combustion reaction can be slowed until it stops
-
Stabilization: The user can temporarily stabilize extremely reactive substances like, a dangerous substance that normaly would react inmediatily can be kept stable as long as the user its sending cursed energy in it
-
Equilibrium Shift: The user can alter the equilibrium of a reversible reaction, instead of directly accelerating the reaction, they change which side of the equilibrium is favored this would probably be the most difficult application of the technique to master
-Maximum Technique
Chain Reaction: Apocalypse: the user creates an extremely small initial reaction, then they use cursed energy to make every subsequent reaction to act as the catalyst for the next reaction A → B → C → D → E...
The reaction spreads through every availible reactant within the area, it isn't an explosion created from nothing, it is a chemical accelerated chain reaction, therefore, it's power depends entirely on the environment
-Domain Expansion: Absolute Laboratory
-
The barrier takes the form of an infinite laboratory, every object within the domain is automatically analyzed by the technique so the user knows which reactions are possible between the materials present.
-
Sure-Hit Effect: The user can instantly initiate a chemically possible reaction inside the target withous physical contact, however there is a fundamental rule remains: the reaction must be chemically possible with the materials already present
