In order to understand how such a move came to be, let us go back to a few months ago.
After witnessing Yamamoto turn the battlefield into a living hellscape with a mere swipe of his sword, Sora realized something crucial—
Elemental attacks were terrifyingly strong. And also, after getting hit by fire so much he got PTSD, he knew he needed that shit... badly.
And not just because they looked flashy or destructive—no, it was deeper than that. And definitely not because he got his ass beat and was stealing Yamamoto's whole flow for pettiness' sake. No, he was a bigger person than that.
Fire wasn't just hot plasma, it was a force of consumption.
Lightning wasn't just a bright zap, it was instantaneous, precise, and deadly.
Water wasn't just a wave, it was a relentless pressure that crushed and drowned.
'If Reishi was everything—then shouldn't a Quincy be able to create true elemental forces, not just blue arrows and beams?'
That was the logic he was going by. Shouldn't he be able to do that? He should be able to do it.
That thought consumed Sora.
For weeks, he locked himself in his study, filling dozens of notebooks with theories, equations, and tests. His room looked less like a Quincy training ground and more like a mad scientist's lab.
There were diagrams, scribbled notes, pages tacked onto walls with lines connecting them like he was solving a murder case.
Step 1 – Breaking Down Elemental Composition in Reishi
Fire:
Problem: Reishi is inherently spiritual, meaning it doesn't combust like regular matter.
Solution: Use high-frequency vibrations in Reishi particles to generate heat, simulating combustion.
Lightning:
Problem: How do you create a charge imbalance within Reishi?
Solution: Manipulate the ionization of Reishi particles to create a charge differential, then release it as a bolt.
Water:
Problem: Reishi isn't liquid, so how do you make it flow like real water?
Solution: Reduce Reishi cohesion and introduce molecular-level fluid dynamics.
Wind:
Problem: Wind is just moving air, but Reishi exists in a vacuum-like spiritual state.
Solution: Adjust Reishi density to create pressure differences, forcing movement and cutting power.
Ice:
Problem: Freezing requires heat transfer, but Reishi doesn't naturally conduct thermal energy.
Solution: Force Reishi particles into a state of near absolute zero through energy negation techniques.
Sora's progress was insane—but he hit a wall.
The science behind certain elements was too much.
His knowledge of physics, chemistry, and energy transfer was limited.
He wasn't a nerd. For him to complete that shit, only a true nerd, someone with no hoes, bitchless beyond belief, and into stuff like, I don't know, sewing or some shit like that—
A true nerd. Someone who was a professional in the "well, actually" face.
Sora had been staring at the same page for hours, frowning so hard it looked like he was trying to break reality with sheer willpower.
He heard a familiar scoff behind him.
When the world needed him most, he came.
"Tch. You're doing it wrong."
Sora looked up.
Standing there, arms crossed, glasses gleaming, full smug mode engaged—was Uryu.
"...What do you mean I'm doing it wrong?" Sora asked, narrowing his eyes.
Uryu stepped forward, grabbed a red pen (because of course he had a red pen), and began correcting Sora's notes like a professor fixing a failing student's homework.
"For starters," Uryu said, circling something aggressively, "you're treating Reishi like a normal molecular structure. But it's not. Quincy Reishi manipulation is quantum-based, meaning the elemental transformations have to work at a subatomic level, not just with raw energy transfer."
Sora blinked. "...What?"
Uryu sighed, rubbing his temple.
"In simple terms, you're thinking too basic. Fire isn't just heat. It's an oxidation reaction. You need to alter Reishi to behave like excited particles in a rapid exothermic reaction, not just vibrate it super fast."
Sora squinted at him. What kind of ooga-booga was this guy spouting?
"...Bro, just say make it more fire-y and move on," Sora said, looking at his cousin.
"That's literally what I just said, but smarter," Uryu shot back.
He moved to another page. "And for lightning, you need a stronger charge separation. Reishi naturally exists in a neutral state, so you need to force an artificial polarization. Try adjusting the Schrödinger coefficients to—"
Sora grabbed him by the shoulders.
"NERD."
"LET GO OF ME."
"I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE A NERD."
Uryu struggled, but Sora had already lifted him off the ground.
"PUT ME DOWN."
"NEVER."
Sora spun him in a circle, laughing like a madman.
"I HAVE THE SMARTEST BROTHER EVER."
"STOP LOVE-BOMBING ME, YOU PSYCHOPATH."
Sora just hugged him tighter.
After a few minutes of Uryu's futile escape attempts, Sora finally put him down—though he kept an arm slung over his shoulders.
"Thanks, nerd. I was really stuck on some of this."
Uryu adjusted his glasses, huffing. "Obviously. If you didn't have me, you'd still be drooling over fire like a caveman."
"Yeah, yeah. But I do have you. Which means this spell is gonna be insane." Sora had a smile on his face.
And it was.
Together, they perfected it.
Sora did the practical applications.
Uryu worked out the physics.
And soon—
Elementarschöpfung was born.
A/N
Spell Name: Elementarschöpfung (Elemental Creation)
Category: Angriffsharmonie (Harmony of Attack)
Creator: Sora Ishida and Uryu Ishida.
Description:
Elementarschöpfung is an advanced Quincy spell that allows the user to create and manipulate genuine elemental forces—fire, water, wind, lightning, and ice—by directly shaping Reishi into tangible elements.
Unlike standard Quincy attacks that merely form Reishi constructs, this technique fundamentally transforms Reishi into elemental states, making the flames burn, the lightning strike, and the ice freeze just as real as any natural phenomenon.
Mechanics:1. True Elemental Reishi Manipulation
By understanding the intrinsic nature of Reishi, the user alters its state to fully embody elemental properties rather than merely imitating them.
This means that:
Fire burns and consumes oxygen.
Lightning conducts and surges through metal and water.
Water flows and can drown an opponent.
Ice freezes and can lower temperatures.
Wind cuts and creates pressure differences strong enough to generate storms.
2. Manifested Elemental Forms:
Feuersturm (Firestorm): Superheated Reishi combusts into roaring flames, launching a wave of burning destruction.
Blitzspeer (Lightning Spear): Condensed Reishi crackles with electrical surges, forming a lightning javelin that delivers powerful electric shocks.
Frostfessel (Frost Shackles): Rapidly condenses Reishi into crystalline ice chains that freeze and immobilize foes.
Sturmklinge (Storm Blade): Wind-based Reishi generates razor-sharp gusts, forming cutting tempests.
Flutkralle (Flood Claw): High-density Reishi liquefies into a forceful torrent that drowns enemies or sweeps them away.
Combat Applications:
Close-Range: Elemental weaponry such as flame swords, ice daggers, and wind-imbued fists.
Mid-Range: Launching projectiles like fireballs, lightning strikes, or frozen lances.
Long-Range: Creating environmental hazards such as an electrified battlefield, an ice-covered terrain, or a storm-filled sky.
Casting Process:
1. Incantation (Optional for mastery users):
"Forme den Willen der Welt, lasse die Elemente meinem Befehl folgen—Elementarschöpfung!"
("Shape the will of the world, let the elements obey my command—Elemental Creation!")
2. Manifestation:
The user gathers Reishi into their palm, altering its state to form real, physical elements.
The element stabilizes into its natural form—fire roars, water ripples, lightning crackles.
3. Execution:
The Quincy releases the attack, sending waves of fire, bolts of lightning, or torrents of water at their opponent.
The elements retain all their natural destructive properties, making them highly effective in battle.
Strengths:
✔ True Elemental Destruction – The elements are real and interact with the environment as naturally occurring forces. Fire burns, ice freezes, and lightning shocks.
✔ Extreme Versatility – The ability to generate multiple elements allows for adaptability in any combat scenario.
✔ High-Speed Manifestation – Since Reishi manipulation is instantaneous, elemental attacks can be formed and unleashed without delay.
✔ Elemental Synergy – Fire ignites wind, water conducts electricity, ice absorbs heat—combining elements allows for devastating combos.
Weaknesses:
✖ Reishi Dependency – Requires a high concentration of Reishi to sustain and manipulate elements effectively.
✖ Environmental Influence – Some elements, like fire, may be weaker in water-filled areas, while lightning could be enhanced by storms.
✖ Energy Consumption – Creating and maintaining real elemental constructs drains spiritual energy rapidly, making prolonged use a risk.
Advanced Feature – Dual-Element Fusion:
A master of Elementarschöpfung can fuse two elements to create hybrid attacks:
Infernosturm (Inferno Storm): Fire + Wind = A tornado of flames.
Donnerfrost (Thunderfrost): Lightning + Ice = Electrified ice shards that freeze and paralyze on impact.
Aqua-Knall (Aqua Burst): Water + Fire = Superheated steam explosion capable of both scalding and concussive force.
