Hibiki Amaterasu (ヒビキ・アマテラス, Hibiki Amaterasu lit. Sun Goddess's Echo) is the name of a powerful fighter within the Kingdom of Aeternum and the leader of some division or something. Thanks to her overwhelming might, Hibiki has landed a position as one of the Nine Elementals of the Kingdom's military. Known as the Valkyrie of Cherry Blossoms (桜花の戦乙女, Ōka no Senotome) for her mind-blowing speed in the fields of war, her unparalleled skill with her two swords, and as Ōkuninushi (, Ōkuninushi lit. Great Land Master) for her signature magic, Green Magic, Hibiki is feared by a great number of the kingdom's enemies – but even so, despite what her reputation hints about her, Hibiki Amaterasu is generally quite lazy and refuses to do work for her division, with most of her subordinates picking up the slack in light of her tardiness, as Hibiki prefers to simply screw about without a care in the world unless forced to or annoyed enough to take care of something personally.

There are some rumours that Hibiki is much more powerful than the so-called "god of magic" himself, because despite her bluster and buffoonish nature, she has displayed record-breaking prowess and a knowledge of magic far beyond what many in the kingdom have shown and incorporates minute aspects of that into her fighting style in a rather subtle manner as to constantly give her the edge in battle; however, thanks to her love of close-combat and her general apathetic nature, Hibiki simply relies on her swordsmanship and physical prowess to get the job done – any more than that is too much effort.

Appearance
Hibiki Amaterasu is an odd pretty lady with an enigmatic and ephemeral air about her, described as by those around her, especially those of the opposite sex. This is especially shown in the way she presents herself, going from her oddly colour-coordinated clothing to her two-toned hair; she is a petite young woman who seems to be in her late teens/early twenties, though truthfully, her age is incredibly difficult to properly determine, even by those who have known her from the very beginning. Due to the almost flawless grace that she displays while in combat, she is described as a maiden with a fair skin tone that never really seems to be affected by anything, being peachy-white in colouration. Hibiki has a slender, waif-ish build; her skin is said to be so white and smooth that it appears almost like she's made of porcelain. Her facial features are very child-like to the point that when she smiles, it is completely radiant. She has snow-white skin that is akin to a princess's; along with a beautiful figure- large breasts, long, slender legs, and a shapely rear. However, because of her constant poker face, it is known to be damn near impossible to guess what she's thinking commonly. Perhaps Hibiki's most notable physical trait is her blonde hair that burns like a raging inferno, cut into a neat bob with numerous strands of hair extending outward in various directions but are mainly curling upwards, left like those stragglers are naught but a bother but she isn't the kind of person to really put any care into her personal appearance. Hibiki's golden bangs frame her face on both sides and are parted in the middle to slightly expose her forehead, as two long clumps trail downwards to frame her youthful face. There is a trio of bundles of blonde hair exposed in the very middle of her forehead, with the longest extending down to reach her nose. However, most strikingly, Hibiki possesses a large forelock of hair that stick straight up from her head, curling backwards – additionally, she has a small ponytail only reaching down to slightly above the nape of her neck which is tied by a black ribbon.

In terms of attire, Hibiki, when not clad in her Setsuna no Haori, wears a rather decorated outfit, but at the same time, she is also fairly lightly-clothed. In addition to the headband that holds her neat bob of hair in place, Hibiki is mainly clad in darker colours, especially the numerous shades of black – this, when combined with her fair skin and blonde hair, gives the impression of Hibiki herself being the embodiment of yin and yang as displayed in Taoism, mixing light and darkness into the appearance of a slender girl who possesses an inhuman beauty about her. Clad in a slinky black dress that draws from eastern styles, specifically that of China, the majority of the dress resembles a tight-fitting qipao made of satan satin which is short enough to not even cover her legs; much less her lacy red undergarments for that matter; the dress is fitted closely to the neck, and the stiff collar as well as the lower parts of the dress appear as if they were hewn from black leather, with a cutout around the chest area that exposes her cleavage ever-so-slightly – the cleavage window is accented by an almost transparent material that has numerous leather patterns etched onto it. The shoulders of Hibiki's dress resembles puffy sleeves that extend downwards while retaining a certain stiffness before terminating at her elbows with numerous purple feathers erupting from the black portion of her sleeves – the rest of the fabric is mostly white and seems as if the ending segments of her sleeves are merged with her black gloves. The skirt portion of the black dress that Hibiki is known to almost constantly be wearing possesses a slit which reaches high to the waist, and it is embroidered with flowery patterns that are made apparent by dull golden linings. Clad upon her long legs are borderline transparent thigh-high darkly-textured stockings that are accented by black knee-length high-heeled boots that despite their appearance, don't hamper Hibiki's movements in any way.

Personality and Traits
Despite giving off the air of being a hardened samurai whom seems to have gone through quite a fair bit of bullshit, Hibiki comes off as rather relaxed and casual with a burning desire to not have to do anything unless forced to do so, rarely taking anything that's thrown her way seriously – she's generally disinterested in the affairs of the world around her, and prefers to go at her own pace without any regard for the wishes and concerns of those whom are forced to follow her lead in the first place – it's said that many people upon meeting her – if they do meet her at all – are put off by her general lazy attitude. While giving off an air of being somewhat aloof, she also seems to be fairly boisterous and arrogant, and while she is generally not pragmatic and she will act according to her impulses. Most of the time, Hibiki is hot-headed, wild, and relatively inconsiderate to others, constantly putting her own needs before the needs of others – if something inconveniences somebody else, no matter who they are and the position they're in, and yet it proves advantageous for Hibiki, she will do it, no matter the backlash that she faces.

Hibiki herself, on top of all of this, is fairly eccentric, constantly thinking of ways of how to improve her combat style, and seems to disregard everything else thrown her way that could constitute 'doing her job', preferring to laze about without a care in the world and just stick to her own goals. For this reason, she's rarely seen, even amongst the other Nine Elementals – it's mentioned that Hibiki can't remember the names of over half of them, and just gives them their own personal nicknames in accordance to what she figures out just by taking a passing glance at her colleagues; amusing, since she can't care to remember even these nicknames, their personal epithets change each time she meets somebody. It's not that Hibiki herself hates people, but rather, it would be more correct to simply refer to not being a big fan of talking to people she's not familiar with for long periods of time; while she often feels uncomfortable talking with people, she won't go out of her way to avoid conversation or act rude to somebody unless they go after her specifically, displaying a rather serious lack of social skills.

Even so, despite her ego being as big as a continent, Hibiki tends to downplay her skills when others are around – it's not well-known that she's actually a master of the arcane as she seemingly prefers to focus solely upon speed-based combat with her dual blades. This is because she seemingly gets a large amount of salary from her "job" as one of the Nine Elementals, and she believes that her pay would be jeopardized if she displays her true potency as a magic master matching and perhaps surpassing her "boss-person" of sorts; as such, this is one of the major factors in her rarely showing up to help her colleagues, as she might accidentally reveal how powerful she really is and thus the cash would stop flowing in. However, despite her countless vices and unpleasant personality, Hibiki is fond of nature—she loves each and every aspect of it, even the "nastier" parts of nature such as the more ferocious animals. She is a proud 'tamer' of animals—she's capable of getting even the biggest of creatures to act like a docile puppy; indeed, she prefers flora and fauna to actual people. Hibiki is quite possibly the least culturally-sensitive person around as while she doesn't go out of her way to be a jackass and break the laws of the cultures around her, she also doesn't bother changing her behaviour in accordance – because of this, it's said that Hibiki can never visit the desert region of the western continent.

Equipment
Kabutomaru and Kuwagamaru (甲丸と鍬丸, Kabutomaru to Kuwagamaru lit. Rhinoceros Beetle Circle and Stag Beetle Circle): Kabutomaru and Kuwagamaru are the name of Hibiki Amaterasu's personal weapons – they are swords which incredible might. Visually, both blades are sleek-looking katana, swords which were forged in the eastern regions of Earth Land. Both Kabutomaru and Kuwagamaru are rather extravagantly decorated, with various starburst patterns around the crossguard and pommel – they are in all sorts of colours, with golds and silvers being the most prominent of its textures – though its silver blade with golden speck gilds stands out the most. The cross-guard of the swords are a vibrant golden in texture, possessing a slight oval shape with short straight thin radiant green lines that appear similar to stars that illuminate the heavens strewn about inside the cross-guard on both top and bottom. The twin swords have a rather distinct tapering that covers the grip, being mainly a slightly bright shade of red with diamond patterns in the direct center on the grip that expose the light-brown wood used to forge the handle. The pommel of the swords are relatively extravagant, shaped like a few masses of stars that orbit a moon with various multicoloured tassels attached to the stars, making it appear as if they were shooting stars. With a blade of borderline golden steel that curves ever-so-slightly, the forms of the swords are said to be almost half as long as Hibiki is tall – however, Kuwagamaru is slightly taller than her. The dual swords are an existence similar to that of the exceptionally powerful katana referred to simply as "" (不倶戴天, Fugutaiten) owned by the strongest member of known as  as all three blades are known as God Mowers (神薙, Kannagi); the highest class of sword, magical or otherwise, around. Indeed, if unsheathed, these "God Mowers" could cause a cataclysm of unimaginable proportions- the skies, the earth, and the sea are all sliced in twain before the might of a God Mower-class sword as they display the ability to cut through anything; Hibiki can casually call upon its full power.

Both of Hibiki's swords are composed of a special alloy that has been lost to the sands of time; this alloy is downright mystical, as it contains the properties of both exceptional sharpness and durability without sacrificing light-weight as a drawback, enabling Hibiki to swing them around with relative ease. Both blades were created to be dual-wielded; the right sword is used mainly for speed strikes, and the left sword, due to being in Hibiki's dominant hand, is used mainly for power strikes; enabling Hibiki to mix it up in battle a fair bit, swinging stealthily and dangerously as to keep the opponent in a constant state of defense. Both Kabutomaru and Kuwagamaru have a special charm cast upon the swords that ensures that once Hibiki draws the blade, it can never leave her hands unless she wills it to- this is due to her previous weapons either breaking or being lost once they were knocked out of her hand. This is overlaid with a Nullification Magic spell which ensures that this charm cannot be undone. Because they were designed to be wielded together, they possess a strong bond with one another, linked together through their magic signature which enables both swords to attract each other like magnets- this link also extends to Hibiki's own magic signature, enabling them to return to her even if she loses both of them; expanding from this, if Hibiki throws a single sword at anything while holding its partner, once it has reached the limit of its flight, it will return at high speeds to her like a boomerang, and through the magic link between its partner, the other sword will always land safely within Hibiki's hand without harming her. They can also negate the impact shock that her fighting style would usually cause, absorbing and dampening the recoil that she receives when using her Green Magic by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into heat, which is then dissipated, protecting Hibiki and her weapons from catastrophic events such as high-speed collision and getting an arm dislodged due to the sheer power of her magic-infused strikes. As such, Hibiki does not suffer from backwards momentum after discharging all forms of attacks from her blows, meaning that the time between what would normally be recoil and the launch of another attack is reduced to zero as she can launch multiple attacks in a row without being impeded by her own body in any way.

Setsuna no Haori (, Setsuna no Haori lit. Formal Coat of a Juncture): The Setsuna no Haori is the main garment worn by Hibiki Amaterasu – it's her personalized Shielder Suit (, Shīrudā Sūtsu lit. Combat Protective Clothing); which is an extremely versatile and ubiquitous field-type defensive spell that summons a construct woven by a magician's magical energy utilizing Shape Transformation once they have projected their magical energy outwards as to enclose around their own body, forming a compact magical armour which is capable of protecting a magician from external harm. Unlike other protective spells, it is usually auto-cast by the user's Magic Origin upon entering combat and only dispelled when it is critically damaged, destroyed, or deactivated by the magician. Resembling the jackets worn by the Shinsengumi forces in Kyoto during the Bakumatsu period, a morally dubious group whom requested and were granted policing powers to deal with the revolutionaries who wished to see the return of the emperor to power, the Setsuna no Haori is a rather distinctive sky-blue-and-white triangle-designed haori that has a black obi sash wrapped around her stomach, and the sleeves are, to put it lightly, oversized- in fact, one could simply refer to the sleeves as capes for her arms; though there's an open slit down the sides of each sleeve to allow Hibiki to reveal her hands through. Interestingly, for offense usage, Hibiki is capable of increasing the size of the long sleeves and whipping them towards opponents, which (strangely), can deal a fair amount of damage. Whatever normal clothes Hibiki is wearing at the time disappear until the Setsuna no Haori is dismissed. Technically, the Setsuna no Haori consists of multiple layers of barriers and defensive fields; providing protection against magic due to a special coating that is applied on the surface of the cloth; it is powerful to the point where ranged firearms cannot score decisive hits against them and may only shave off small pieces of it. The armour strength is positively influenced by Hibiki's magical energy, thus if she runs out of magical energy, the Setsuna no Haori's defensive capability will drop. However as the foundation is strong, the drop is minimal. Unlike other field-type spells, the Setsuna no Haori does not constantly consume Hibiki's magical energy while active; she has to will it away manually and it does not fade when she is unconscious, so somebody is able to remove it from her like it was normal cloth. As the Setsuna no Haori is forged from Hibiki's magical energies, it can be considered an extension of her own body, and as such, she is required to will it away manually- and since it is woven from her magical energy, it is weak against abilities which nullify magic, such as Nullification Magic and. In any case, the Setsuna no Haori is incapable of being permanently damaged no matter how much of a beating it takes, and even if it is dispelled Hibiki is capable of re-summoning her Shielder Suit as she can instantly repair it with her own magical energy. The Setsuna no Haori is more often than not compared to steel in strength, leaving Hibiki unable to be wounded by either weapons or supernatural powers except with the greatest of attacks and its own weaknesses; allowing her to cancel out physical attacks and supernatural powers which aren't capable of mass devastation, enabling her to tank attacks from a high-ranked Etherious without a scratch, and all spells and attacks are effectively reduced to pathetically weak attacks, meaning even qualifying blows directed towards vital points are rendered as minor scratches that can be healed at a quick rate. The defensive capacities of Shielder Suits are very high as they act as an impregnable armour made from magical energy overpowering others, allowing magicians to survive in life-threatening conditions, however, they cannot be completely relied upon for protection.

Swordsmanship
Grandmaster Swordsmanship Specialist: Being her forte in battle and her greatest asset, it should come as no surprise that Hibiki Amaterasu is one of the finer warriors of the way of handling a blade around. Indeed, Hibiki is consistently competent in the art of swordsmanship, being one of the finest sword masters in history, as she constantly displays nothing but the utmost of proficiency with a blade, said to have a near-mastery of swordsmanship no matter the size of the weapon – but only as long as she is wielding her own swords as they are the only blade that she knows the ins and outs of, making them "supreme weapons" which are the only armaments that bring out her full potential. Hibiki's swordsmanship style is classified as a form of swordsmanship known as Niten Ichi-ryū (, Niten Ichi-ryū lit. Supreme Power of Two Swords as One: Two Heavens as One Style), which involves the usage of two swords at once – her Sodom and Gomorrah blades are her weapons of choice, and she wields them near-perfectly in the heat of battle; she's also relatively dexterous, sometimes even spinning one of her blades on a single finger during an attack. As befitting it being the only weapon she has ever wielded, Hibiki constantly makes liberal usage of her dual swords in the heat of combat, showing absolute zero signs of mercy towards those that she fights. Originally, Hibiki utilized the more traditional sword-fighting style that she learnt from her teacher whom took her in as a child; however, Hibiki's soul yearned for the touch of steel and witnessing the visceral sight of iron cleaving into the bodies of helpless foes – it was a beginning sign of her own skewed morals, something she wasn't aware of at first. Hibiki herself possesses a rather "boring" fighting style according to those who have witnessed her in action. In a setting where most characters have all sorts of flashy powers, Hibiki is simply focused on nothing extravagant- but rather, it's a style that does the job of assisting her in the heat of battle, but almost any other feat as well. Even so, Hibiki is known to be exceptionally powerful among fellow magicians of a similar caliber, going on nothing but skill and strength alone.

Hibiki Amaterasu is noted to be such an incredible bladed-fighter that it is well-documented that she has four separate styles of bladed combat alongside the extremely generic swordfighting style taught to her by her teacher that she more often than not utilizes when she isn't giving a battle her all – she has shown that when using any of her swordsmanship styles, she is capable of switching from one fighting style to another as naturally as breathing without any time needed to re-calibrate her swordsmanship, flawlessly transitioning from an offensive battle method to a more defensive style and then changing to focus on speed near-instantly and with such smooth movements that to onlookers, it more often than not appears as if Hibiki has not changed her stance in the slightest, utterly confusing them as they're left to keep guessing which fighting style Hibiki has "activated" at the moment while she darts around them like a gentle breeze which suddenly intensifies to become a searing gale and then a gust that pushes the opponent back; all this, in the blink of an eye. Hibiki is known to fight in a manner which seems as if she is making things up as she goes in order to overwhelm the opposition through a combination of strength and unpredictability, reflecting and parrying blows from all sorts of opponents, many of them stronger and faster than herself with ease while also pushing towards them and going on the offensive. Indeed, her swordsmanship does the title of the "Valkyrie of Cherry Blossoms" justice, as her reputation echoes throughout every corner of the land, her skills having stepped into the realm of unbelievable presentations and near-effortlessly surpassed the prowess of many of those whom worked alongside her in the Kingdom of Aeternum in terms of bladed combat.

The black steel of her dual blades howl like a savage beast thirsting for the blood of her enemies as Hibiki swings her blades around with wild abandon, cleaving the air apart as every thrust launched with the blades release an output akin to cannon fire, unleashing roaring gusts- but more than that, the sheer destructive force of her attacks are the result of his immense physical strength and transcendent movements; she swings her weapons at speeds invisible to the naked eye while displaying only the smallest of movements, keeping her own senses observant of her enemy so that she could take advantage of any mistake that they make. Hibiki places heavy focus on offense, utilizing bold, direct motions while unleashing a flurry of blade-work which give off the impression that they are unconnected and unpolished- no 'style' at all - though one of the greatest strengths of Hibiki's fighting style is its unpredictability, displaying unparalleled swinging speed and an overwhelming power as her attacks give off the visage that she is wielding countless blades at once - moving blindingly swiftly to the point that her attacks flow into each other the perfect precision, moving too fast to properly see and thus creating a rapid hurricane of winds that are referred to as 'sword strikes', a near invisible weave of steel blurs around in the heat of combat. It is said that Hibiki's swordsmanship is akin to that of a lightning strike descending from the heavens and crashing down upon the vulnerable earth, dealing relatively moderate amounts damage no matter any precautions taken- it is an incredible method of utilizing the power of swordsmanship which can do naught but utterly annihilate the enemy, causing untold amounts of destruction with her swords for every swing, effortlessly knocking enemies away who would normally be able to evade or block.

Attacking swiftly and aggressively, Hibiki discards all sorts of defensive techniques in favour of overwhelming speed and strength, more often than not defeating her opponents through sheer power; no matter the weapon, all of Hibiki's attacks are versatile and execute immediately, they do great damage, can variably lead to her launching the opponent into, and in some cases, through a wall, before darting after the opponent- she attacks while dashing and leaping through the air with ease; after striking, she can continue her attack while her opponent is still staggering, and she can choose the orientation of where the final blow of her aerial attacks will send the opponent simply by applying subtle movements to where her weapon lands; this makes all of her attacks unpredictable and exceptionally difficult to evade. Not only are each of her physical attacks swift and powerful, the wide yet precise and fast strikes, stabs, and swings that she performs with her dual blades can effortlessly overcome almost any opponent that attempts to stand in her way. Hibiki can telekinetically or physically throw her weapons at her opponent, allowing her to strike them from a distance, and if attacked, she has shown that she isn't too averse to kicking an enemy way before following up with a counterattack. Unlike many other swordfighters, Hibiki's fighting style is more combo-oriented, and thus, focuses more on dealing consecutive blows instead of having single strikes which deal the full amount of damage, defeating her enemies through a continuous onslaught of two or more strikes for every split second; indeed, she often attacks rapidly side-to-side with wide, sweeping combos that leave little time to block or evade, leaving a trail of pure magical energy behind in the wake of her slashes. At the end of many combos, Hibiki unleashes a powerful dual-outward strike after a delay, leaving shockwaves in the process before dashing forward in order to continue her offensive game. Her knowledge of the concept referred to as a "blade" has transcended many other practitioners of the way of the sword, to the point that Hibiki could be considered a definitive master of swordsmanship.
 * Hiraseigan no Kamae (平晴眼の構え, The Stance of Turning the Edge Sideways and Aiming at the Eye): The Hiraseigan no Kamae is the name of Hibiki's main sword stance, designed by herself in order to maximize her attacking and retaliating options in the heat of combat as well as minimize her exposure to blows of all kinds. When invoking the Hiraseigan no Kamae, Hibiki assumes the position of bending both of her knees ever-so-slightly as to drop into a partial crouch while her dominant hand is retracted back with one of her blades positioned parallel to the solid surface below her, close to her shoulder as she grasps the hilt of the sword with said hand – on the opposite side, her opposing arm extends forward, resting her small fingertips of this hand near the tip of her sword. Interestingly, the Hiraseigan no Kamae can apply to all of Hibiki's striking methods, albeit with some minor modifications to suit the kenjutsu style she harnesses currently – for example, the Style of the Undrawn Longsword simply has Hibiki wielding one of her sheathed blade in the same position; and in the case of Impact Spinner, Hibiki automatically assumes the Hiraseigan no Kamae in the brief moments that she isn't whirling like a violent buzzsaw of death as if on instinct. When dual-wielding as she usually does, Hibiki commonly just has her secondary blade resting in its sheath, still slung around her waist – when preparing to strike with two blades, Hibiki quickly removes the sheath (with sword in it) from its current position by pulling it upwards, disengaging the magnetic force that keeps the katana attached to her outfit – all of this occurs in a single, fluid motion that appears almost instantaneous. The Hiraseigan no Kamae is deemed to be a "position of utter perfection", with Hibiki using it to prepare for almost anything that's thrown her way, whether it is physical or supernatural in nature.
 * HibikiPerTenkuujin.pngGorin Mikazukijin (, Gorin Mikazukijin lit. Five Rings Crescent Moon Blade): Not a power that has anything to do with Sword Magic or the special properties of Hibiki's swords per-se, but rather, it is the product of Hibiki's usage of magic in conjunction with her recognition of the inherent properties of her swordsmanship and the conductivity of the blade in regards to its reactions when interacting with other forms of supernatural energy, even in a modified form. Effectively, at any time, because of this property, Hibiki is capable of channeling spells of all kinds as well as her own magic along either Kabutomaru or Kuwagamaru, bolstering its power significantly and allowing her blade to change properties according to the power installed within the weapon; but to sum it up for the impatient, it can be considered an existence similar to that of a Combination Spell as it combines swordsmanship and magical energy together harmoniously. When inducing Gorin Mikazukijin, Hibiki focuses as her grip upon her swords intensifies, infusing her own magical energies into the very blade itself, giving her two swords the appearance of having a wire-thin layer of magical power rotating around its sharp edges. Instead of enhancing the cutting power of her blade, this layer of magical power amplifies the conductivity of her swords, increasing the malleability of the steels that compose its blade to the point that instead of slicing through any magic that is launched in Hibiki's direction, both Kabutomaru and Kuwagamaru accepts the opposing attack's properties unconditionally, causing the spell to become absorbed into the stainless blade of her swords - this is signified by the blades of Kabutomaru and Kuwagamaru being emblazoned with a serial of runic symbols corresponding to the traditional five elements along its length, as an aura begins to surround the blade. The colours and textures of both the aura and the crests engraved upon the steel of the weapon depend on what was absorbed and its elemental affinity. With the aura and sigils embedded upon the two katana blades, the hard metal that the weapon normally is appears as if it was replaced with a blade of pure energy of varying properties, similar to a laser- this laser shapes itself into a long, curved blade with the aura still shrouding its form, extending out to three meters with an impossible sharp edge and beautiful luster. The size and length of the blade appears to correspond with the amount of energy that was once fuelled into the spell that Gorin Mikazukijin absorbed. Because of its ethereal form, Gorin Mikazukijin causes both Kabutomaru and Kuwagamaru to lose its classification of a "physical weapon", but rather, it becomes known as "a hilt with magical energies protruding from it", and depending on what the swords have integrated into its composition, this grants it drastically enhanced slicing power as it becomes super-heated to the point of burning through all sorts of alloys and magical defenses upon contact. No matter what is installed within her swords, Hibiki is capable of combining the effects the opposing magic spell would have normally to use those effects as if they were an ability of her blade in addition to the enhanced cutting power doing so gives her weapon- not only this, with a spell equipped into her blade, Hibiki can release blade strikes as usual that possess properties of the spell, such as harnessing Hissatsu: Zantetsuken to project a wave of nature with Green Magic embedded within Kabutomaru or Kuwagamaru. While Gorin Mikazukijin is in effect, any abilities, including spells that Hibiki uses will have their power, area-of-effect, and speed amplified if her ability is the same element as the absorbed spell- and of course, Hibiki is capable of launching the absorbed spell in its original form back at the opponent. However, as a downside, Gorin Mikazukijin will only last for two minutes as it seems to hurt her swords itself, and if she releases the spell, it will obviously end instantly as there is no fulcrum left for Gorin Mikazukijin to keep the powered-up state of her blade going.
 * Hissatsu: Zantetsuken (, Hissatsu: Zantetsuken lit. Certain Kill: Iron-Cutting Sword): Hissatsu: Zantetsuken is the name of Hibiki's most powerful attack – it is a godspeed almighty strike that focuses all of her power by discarding everything else into a single slash without any equal. While it can be harnessed by any school of swordsmanship, the Hissatsu: Zantetsuken is best utilized in conjunction with Iaidō, as the style's focus on drawing, attacking, and re-sheathing produces a vastly more powerful slash. In any case, when performing the Hissatsu: Zantetsuken attack, Hibiki sheathes her blade and casts away the most basic of sword skills, waiting for the enemy to approach upon her while making it appear as if she is not targeting her opponent; seemingly discarding any and all malice she holds towards the foe. During this time, Hibiki listens for the enemy's heartbeat, focusing her hearing as to hear the enemy's breathing patterns as to assist her in anticipating the foe's next action. While this is happening, Hibiki focuses intently, gathering the entire amount of her magical energy into the blade of her sword – converging these supernatural energies upon her sword, the sheer amount of magical power compacted within Hibiki's sword results in the weapon glowing brilliantly, illuminating the immediate vicinity with a bright crimson shine from within the scabbard, even if it was never night in the first place. Once the foe gets close enough to Hibiki, almost as if on instinct, she will move her hand to their hilt, manipulating her power into the motion of a single swing as she swiftly unleashes her blade from its seal – at the moment of such an action, Hibiki harnesses Shape Transformation to mold the burning scarlet aura radiating off of her swords into two "parts", with the bottom part becoming pure magical energy and the second half highly resembling a feather – doing so and completing the entire process results in the entirety of Hibiki's magical energy and her other attributes being fuelled into her dual blades to bring forth a single attack without equal at the price of discarding all of her defensive measures, leaving Hibiki vulnerable if she was to be struck while utilizing the attack, swinging upwards at a speed and power beyond mortal comprehension; the motion of this swing is augmented by Hibiki transferring the full force of her kinetic energy as if it were regarded as a mass through the blade and then through the air, attacking with a devastating blow that splits the threads of the enemy's future into innumerable pieces. The slash itself is the medium through which Hibiki's energy travels, with the end result manifesting as a devastating wave of pure kinetic energy released in a focused shockwave that is capable of devastating and destroying Hibiki's enemy in a single blow; dealing a single strike of massive damage in a single especially intense, full-powered physical assault. The Hissatsu: Zantetsuken is capable of busting through the opponents defenses with relative ease; destroying everything in its path in order to deal a large amount of damage in a single wide swath. This attack will defeat most enemies in a single hit as the sheer force and speed of the slash coupled with the shockwave unleashed by the swing more often than not results in truly astounding amounts of damage dealt which can render the enemy incapable of standing up again if not killing them outright- and no enemy is immune to this instant defeat condition, however, it more often than not, deals extremely high damage to them. Whether or not the Hissatsu: Zantetsuken kills the enemy is determined by the amount of energy poured into the attack; meaning that if Hibiki spends all of her power into the strike then it is a sure kill. When it kills the opponent, it seems as if the slash did absolutely zero damage at all; but moments later as the user walks ten feet away from them, the enemy realizes that Hibiki has killed them as the cut only appears seconds after Hibiki has landed the attack successfully; then, they are bisected and their body slides apart before vanishing.

Style of the Undrawn Longsword
 (抜かぬ太刀の型, Nukanu Tachi no Kata): The Style of the Undrawn Longsword is a rather unorthodox sword style which involves the use of a sheathed blade. The Style of the Undrawn Longsword is a fighting style that seems to have first originated in the region of - while not much is known about its origins, it seems to have certain ties to swords of any kind which possess unparalleled sharpness; those swords that are stated to be capable of cutting somebody who just gives the blade a passing glance; these swords are referred to as God-Mowers (神薙, Kannagi); the highest class of sword, magical or otherwise, around. Indeed, if unsheathed, these "God Mowers" could cause a cataclysm of unimaginable proportions- the skies, the earth, and the sea are all sliced in twain before the might of a God Mower-class sword. This might beyond all compare in terms of weaponry is uncontrollable and a wielder, no matter how powerful they are is unable to suppress this world-destroying power- for this reason, a new method of fighting for the owners of these blades had to be created- unwilling to sacrifice speed and power drastically, yet still keep an incredible amount of strength (and somehow not just doing the simple solution and just using a new sword), something never seen before was forged in order to accommodate for the handicap of being unable to use a God Mower's full power.

The Style of the Undrawn Longsword is something completely out of ordinary- in fact, it is uncertain if it can be classified as a sword style or not; as technically it does not incorporate the cold steel properties of a weapon. Every attack is initiated by the user wielding their blade's sheath with the left hand and resting their right hand in correspondence to the weapon's pommel. While this style of swordsmanship does exactly as its name indicates, never exposing the cold steel of their sword, it has an unusual property which enables a user of the style to slash into and pierce an opponent as naturally as if they were wielding an unsheathed blade- this is achieved through minute magical manipulation, bringing out a small portion of their blade's inherent sharpness, extending it outside of the sheath. While it is commonly perceived that wielding a sheathed blade would cause limitations to a swordfighter's movements, such as having to suffer through the addition of weight and the possibility of their blade slicing through the sheathe itself, there are no such drawbacks to the Style of the Undrawn Longsword- it is as swift as lightning, enabling a practitioner of this fighting style to engage and overpower fellow swordfighters with a flurry of slashes as swift as lightning departing from the heavens, crashing onto the earth. Since the user's sheathe is layered over their blade, when the user deems it appropriate, they are capable of modifying the properties of their blows, enabling them to switch between slashing attacks and inflicting blunt damage on a whim.

Hibiki herself is one of the most skilled practitioners of the Style of the Undrawn Longsword (as she is with almost anything related to bladework); though the way she goes about it certainly is unorthodox- that's right, even crazier than smacking people around with a sheathed blade. Incorporating the Way of Drawing and Resheathing (居合道, Iaidō) into her own iteration of the Style of the Undrawn Longsword, Hibiki is able to quickly unsheathe her blade for a rapid attack and then sheath again even in mid-motion, performing a variety of smooth controlled motions of drawing a blade from its container, more often than not just a standard scabbard, striking out at the opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then returning the sword to its container in one flawless move. This movement is almost impossible to predict, transcending any precognition skills -supernatural or otherwise- and any humanly possible reaction speeds, effectively giving the practitioner a clean hit upon the enemy. But there's more; Hibiki is capable of executing all sorts of attacks against single or multiple enemies creatively, stabbing, piercing, thrusting, slashing, and simply whacking the enemy with her sword once it has been drawn from its container, often executing multiple slashes in a row of numerous types in the blink of an eye before the motion ends.

Normally, a practitioner's speed at drawing and unsheathing is so fast that that they are capable of attacking before spells are cast and weapons are manifested, making it extremely efficient against the likes of both Caster and Holder Magicians- though not as effective against regular warriors; as their lack of magical powers could hamper the user's advantage because obviously, they have no magic to take advantage of. Hibiki herself is shown to be able to slash at enemies that are seemingly out of her blade's range, as the air pressure unleashed by the speed and force of her swings possess a power all of her own- indeed, the air pressure released is effectively an extension of her slash, a swift moving blade of invisibility that possesses the properties of the original sword swing. Furthermore, Hibiki's speed with her blade is shown to enable her to deflect numerous bullets, whether supernatural or not, in rapid succession in a single swing and she is able to strike so fast that the opponent does not realize they have been cut until Hibiki returns her blade to its seal; slicing up to ten times in a row in the span of a few moments while the enemy is unable to do anything about it. The speed and precision of the Style of the Undrawn Longsword is able to inflict a lethal blow on Hibiki's opponent without staining her blade with blood, and even slice open the head of a large demon. Hibiki herself has a notoriously quick draw speed; measured at about 0.17 seconds.
 * : Modified (〝斬〟の方・改, Zan no Kata – Kai): One of the more basic attacks of the Style of the Undrawn Longsword – it's a strike which involves a diagonally upwards slash preceded by swift movements – unlike the original version of the technique, Hibiki has altered the movements of the technique and its end result to produce a much more powerful strike. When performing the Slashing Form, Hibiki focuses intently, resulting in minute amounts of eternano which were saturated within the atmosphere compressing upon the sheathe of one of her swords (though she can also perform the technique while dual-wielding); from here, Hibiki goes into a semi-crouching stance where she turns the edge of one of her sheathed blades sideways while pointing it forwards, aiming at the eye of her opponent. Now having taken up the stance required of the legendary position, the Slashing Form: Modified comes into play – Hibiki kicks off ten times in the blink of an eye while transferring the majority of her weight into her legs, stomping her foot where most of her weight is focused upon the solid surface of where Hibiki is standing at a rapid velocity before shifting the weight back to the rest of her frame, generating enough thrust to propel Hibiki forward at incredible speeds with the Reduced Earth technique, visually vanishing from the sights of her opponent and any onlookers, effectively turning invisible with the only indication of her existence being that of a continuous serial of air bursts that ripple outwards from her current location – these ripples are capable of stirring up winds and pushing anything that the bursts come into contact with, even if only ever-so-slightly, away with great force, throwing even grown men off of their feet. While in motion, Hibiki is invincible against any damage during the invisibility portion of the technique, and it can be performed when she is airborne, and as the length of the dash forward is fixed, it can also be used to extend the amount of time that she is within the air, causing Slashing Form: Modified to slightly resemble . Even so, this sudden yet amazing acceleration lasts only momentarily, as her physical form becomes visible once more in order to deal the actual attack – grasping her sheathed blade, once in front of the opponent, Hibiki manipulates the kinetic energy of her movements into the motion of a single swing as she slashes forward at what can be assumed to be the speed of lightning, with her sword landing upon the helpless opponent's vulnerable frame almost instantaneously with a physical might that has no peer, dealing an overwhelming amount of damage that more often than not is capable of defeating an opponent in a single strike while completely annihilating the ground around the point of impact, reducing it to naught but rubble as various craters form, similar to . Overall, while referred to as a modified version of the bog-standard Slashing Form of the Style of the Undrawn Longsword, Slashing Form: Modified takes cues from all three attacks of the swordsmanship method, combining them to create a technique which is truly fearsome.

Impact Spinner
Hibiki's secondary fighting style is commonly referred to as the Impact Spinner (, Inpakuto Supinā lit. Godspeed Rotating Serial Flash Style), a special type of Assassination Sword (暗殺剣, Ansatsuken), which is the most primeval form of swordsmanship around as it induces a reversion of the skill of the fighter to focusing solely upon the basics of what a bladed weapon is capable of doing – the Assassination Sword was forged with intention of murdering an opponent, as befitting their roles as assassins- essentially, the Impact Spinner mainly revolves (heh) around Hibiki rolling up into a concussive ball of sorts with her Stance of the Buzzsaw which is born from her small figure and incredible reflexes while holding one of her swords outwards in a reverse grip and another in a normal grip, and bouncing around without any limitations as to where she can go, effectively turning herself into a hyper-destructive ballistic cannonball that bounds around at velocities that seem inhuman – because it is so unorthodox, the Impact Spinner is a fighting style that many people who have associated with her detest vehemently, seeing it as "preposterous nonsense". Indeed, the Impact Spinner incorporates liberal usage of both her speed, which is at such a point that she is capable of breaking the sound barrier and unleashing sonic booms in the wake of her movements, and her mastery over the art of wielding the blade, combining both absolutely incredible aspects of her abilities as well as reflexes to serve as a precognition of sorts in order to give birth to a fighting style that is downright intimidating to witness in action – and even worse to those whom are on the receiving end. Effectively, Hibiki's fighting style known as the Impact Spinner is born from the fact that the merger of her swiftness and peerless swordsmanship enables her to fight so fast that her enemy rarely, if ever, is able to react, blitzing the enemy through her speed and aggressive blade strikes.

With this speed-based fighting style, Hibiki is known for unleashing innumerable flurries of sterling steel in various omni-directional onslaughts while spinning at such a velocity that she appears as if she were a human buzzsaw that rends the air and everything else she comes into contact with asunder while in motion; each and every one of her movements is accompanied by a release of kinetic force akin to a shockwave (more detail below) that devastates the vicinity where she lands as she accelerates around, moving so fast that she instantly reduces the earth between herself and her opponent before the opponent can properly react. It should be made apparent that this speed that transcends all other forms, going beyond all speed-enhancing techniques such as High Speed, Slowing Magic, and the like was only enabled by Hibiki's short stature, which granted her a much lower centre of gravity in comparison to other magicians and combatants in general. Against supernatural defenses such as Defenser, such things are as good as wet tissue paper as the kinetic energy transferred through Hibiki's incredible motion and her furious blade strikes enables an attacking speed that Hibiki can land her slashes in a fraction of time that it takes for her enemies to activate their protective skills – though this depends on the level of master her opponent displays, as exceptionally powerful fighters can still defend against her strikes. With her speeds, she can slaughter an entire platoon of an army; thanks to her speed, her enemies cannot do anything about it, and she can attack over fifty times with her blade in two seconds, which is more often than not enough to end any adversary.

Really though, the Impact Spinner can't really be considered a "series of blade slashes as Hibiki dashes about" but rather, the high-speed fighting style known as the Impact Spinner is more like a flash of lightning blasting the opponent from innumerable directions continuously until the enemy falls defeated, never slowing down enough to become visible once more. The sheer velocities that Hibiki displays catches opponents off-guard as she blitzes them instantly; she usually utilizes this to her advantage to surprise her enemies and strike them down immediately as they cannot react properly to such revolutionary speed. Every time she briefly stops for not even a fraction of a second, the ground explodes from the kick-off, resulting in widespread devastation as Hibiki leaps around, undeterred by trivial matters such as wind resistance and directional influence – she can move along the pathway most suitable to herself and as such never experiences any interruptions as she darts around the opponent, leaving them bewildered and vulnerable. It's a rule of thumb that as long as she's whirling around in the air, Hibiki is for all intents and purposes invincible, carving incredible trails of death and destruction in each and every wake of her movements while her enemies are incapable of properly stopping them as while she's accelerating in any direction, her entire body has effectively transformed into an "ultimate spear" that can bust anything to shreds. Her knowledge of the concept referred to as a "blade" has transcended many other practitioners of the way of the sword, to the point that Hibiki could be considered a definitive master of swordsmanship.

Hand-to-Hand Combat
Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Obviously, the art of hand-to-hand combat is not Hibiki's forte—being a blade girl and all—but notably, she at least has a fair amount of skill in the area; indeed, Hibiki's fighting style is still fairly polished, commonly mixing in hand-to-hand strikes with her invincible blade attacks to create a deadly combination – while dual-wielding, Hibiki more often than not simply tends to kick her opponent, commonly to disable them by stomping on their foot or attempting to break their leg by using the kinetic energy transferred through her motions, granting her the ability to land a free strike with her peerless swordsmanship when this right chance is opened up to her. However, in more serious applications or when completely disarmed with no opportunity to manifest a Kachō Fūgetsu with her Green Magic, Hibiki has displayed impressive proficiency with literal hand-to-hand combat, and she has shown the ability to strike as swiftly with her hands as she does with her swordsmanship. Hibiki's combination of overwhelming speed and strength, along with her hand-to-hand prowess and minute application of her magical energies allowed her to become a MMA champion in Aeternum or somewhere else.

Hibiki uses Bāguàzhǎng (, Bajikuan, lit. Eight Extremities Fist), also known as Reverse Soul (反魂, Hangon), which is a martial art that features explosive, short-range power and is famous for its elbow and shoulder strikes; it is one of the many exotic martial art styles which originate from Joya. Hibiki's Bāguàzhǎng is an ultimate technique born from the miraculous fusion of the normal Bāguàzhǎng and her own magic; but more than that, it is a merger between the normal explosive power of regular Bāguàzhǎng and a special form of sealing magic by targeting the Magic Pathways in the opponent's body and thus the organs in close proximity to the affected area. Generally, Bāguàzhǎng focuses upon elbow strikes, punches with the arm and fist, hip checks, and shoulder strikes- these are all executed with short yet efficient motions, being impossibly fast to the point that only the best of martial artists can keep up with the fighter's motions; entering from a long range with a distinctive charging step. Most of Bāguàzhǎng's moves utilize a one-hit push-strike method from very close range; the bulk of the damage is dealt through the momentary acceleration that travels up from the waist to the limb and further magnified by a charging step. It is a style that takes the shortest route without any initial movement to damage the inside instead of the outside; Hibiki's knowledge of this fighting style makes her a "sacred spear" capable of defeating a normal person with a single, piercing strike.

Indeed, the level of Hibiki's training has resulted in her body transforming into a weapon when utilizing this martial art; as everything about her movements in the fields of battle attributes to releasing an instantaneous burst of power into her fists. The stance of Bāguàzhǎng, known as, well, the originally named, "Moving Stance" (移動の構え, Idō no Kamae) enables Hibiki to advance towards the enemy by sneaking with a sight step, and without a second wasted, Hibiki can shorten the distance between herself and her opponent, swinging her fist mere millimeters away from the enemy, with the sheer kinetic force delivered forwards in motion being released and channeling the full force of her body into a single strike, capable of dislocating an enemy's limb through sheer air pressure. Indeed, she can predict the opponent's next move purely on the brief moment when her arm blocks that of her opponent, meaning that having a blind spot or having an enemy too fast for the human eye to see is not a problem. While attacking with her Bāguàzhǎng, alongside the kinetic force produced, Hibiki additionally subtly covers her hands with her magical energies, her palms never really displaying much indication of her having done the deed other than small azurite sparks of eternano scattering off of them at random intervals – but upon contact, Hibiki transfers these supernatural energies into the opponent's body via the "Internal Energy Release" (発勁, Hakkei) method, causing the opponent to be struck by an attack that lands from within and thus is unavoidable, with the magical energies making contact with the opponent's Magic Pathways and surrounding organs.

Hibiki generally aims for the enemy's pressure points with Bāguàzhǎng at astounding speeds before the opponent can properly react, causing the magic channels in the enemy's body to short-circuit and give out leaving them unable to perform any form of magical manipulation, stopping the flow of eternano within their body, reducing their muscular strength, and disables their ability to cast magic temporarily; this is known to be particularly devastating for people who rely solely on their magic to fight- even the most armoured of enemies are not spared from the effects of Hibiki's fighting style. The disabling of the magic channels in the enemy's body results in them feeling a sharp, cutting sensation while their physical strength diminishes, leaving them extremely vulnerable to Hibiki's strikes. Hibiki has ability to be able to control the damage done by such means, and additionally, attacking the foe in certain spots results in the loss of movement in that part of their body, as they lose voluntary muscular function within a region localized around the attack, essentially becoming paralyzed. When she wishes to make sure that the opponent won't be a threat again, she directly targets pressure points in the bodies associated with magic casting, and, by attacking the bodies internally, and by using her supreme magical manipulation as a basis for some form of internal attack, Hibiki causes near irreversible damage to the pressure points associated primarily with magic arts, blocking any user from their magic, permanently.
 * Bāguàzhǎng – Shénqiang (, Bajikuan – Shenchīangu, lit. Eight Extremities Fist: Internal Energy Release Divine Spear): Bāguàzhǎng – Shénqiang is the name of a powerful Bāguàzhǎng technique that involves Hibiki striking the opponent with a single palm strike which discharges a vast amount of magical energy and kinetic energy towards the opponent with a motion that resembles a one-inch punch. When performing Bāguàzhǎng – Shénqiang, Hibiki focuses intently, charging her magical energy into one of her hands, condensing it unto its utmost limit until her hand starts overflowing in pure energy, radiating eternano so brightly that it seems to blind those whom turn their gaze upon her; curling her fist up into a ball, when in close proximity to her enemy, which is normally around zero to six inches apart from the opponent, Hibiki then produces incredible power and velocity with a quick movement of her wrist, with her knuckles facing outwards on a horizontal axis as her wrist moves forwards and upwards, before she transitions into an open-hand palm strike which lands upon the opponent's chest that harnesses the concept of Fa Jin (, Fa Jin lit. Hand Power) ever-so-prominent in Bāguàzhǎng in order to generate a truly astounding amount of explosive impact force, essentially transferring Hibiki's own magical energy into the opponent's body, causing a powerful surge that grievously wounds them from within. The motions and direct sequence of this attack is shown to be at such a velocity that it is said to be essentially invisible, and as such, it is near-impossible to evade or defend against this strike, which has been said to possess the force akin to that of a cannonball, creating a number of surreal shockwaves that impact upon Hibiki's opponents instantly, sending them flying away from Hibiki; the aftershocks can devastate the surroundings, uprooting trees and busting steel to shreds in the blink of an eye – those struck by the sheer power unleashed by Bāguàzhǎng – Shénqiang are commonly killed instantly, as they are annihilated through a rather severe form of circulatory shock. However, this attack can be stopped if the eternano cannot flow through Hibiki's arm or hand, essentially resulting in a blunt strike that, while powerful, does only one third of the damage that it normally would.

Physical Prowess
High Strength: In stark contrast with the fact that she's, well, a scrawny-looking kid, Hibiki possesses positively enormous amounts of physical strength, at least at a level higher than her would realistically have; the actual reason why she seems so strong is unknown—however, what is known is that it certainly amplifies her threat level to the point that she could kill an Etherious in five strikes, as a contrast to others of her position, whom would fall quite easily to the hands of the animalistic abomination; however, something to note is that effectively, Hibiki possesses the physical constitution of a fragile teenager, but the sheer momentum that she moves about at is what forms the bulk of her strength. Indeed, her strength is to the point that she is able to casually lift gigantic scaffolding after it has fallen upon the ground with a single hand in her human form, displaying absolutely zero signs of straining herself by doing so. The fact that she is able to break off a steel pillar deeply rooted into the ground and swing it around as if it were naught but a twig that had been snapped off of a tree has amplified this further - not only this, she is capable of effortlessly snapping any object that would regularly serve the purpose of restraining her and overpowering those who even use parameter-enhancing abilities; Hibiki can also throw a Giant, a member of a race whom are known for their size, through a wall without any strain. It is well known that in the heat of battle, Hibiki more often than not overpowers enemies much larger and more imposing than herself- generally, it doesn't matter what race they are; the moment Hibiki gets her hands on them, they're good as dead as a serial of blades strike hard and fast, potentially crippling the enemy's movements and defensive options in a matter of moments. Hibiki is known to possess complete control over her central nervous system, constantly reinforcing her strength to the absolute limit of somebody of her build – she can strike with such a force that an entire cliff was reduced to naught but falling rubble by a serial of her punches, and craters form when she stomps her foot into the vulnerable earth, and anything that she throws instantly becomes a high-speed projectile that can pierce alloys and concrete – this immense physical strength extends to her legs, which is elaborated upon below. And of course, her naturally immense speed does factor into how much of her strength that she displays at any given time, as the momentum that she dashes about in the heat of battle is transferred into her physical attacks both unarmed and while wielding her blades, bolstering the kinetic energy transmitted through the strike seven-fold or even more, granting Hibiki the ability to bust dense compositions of magical energies and eternano to smithereens with her blows, rendering anything and everything in the path of her incoming assault asunder, breaking down magical defenses with a single godspeed blow as enemies and allies alike are left with their jaws dropped upon the ground, utterly mystified by the sheer power that Hibiki Amaterasu has dwelling within her tiny frame.
 * Shockwave (, Shokkūeibu lit. Force-Generated Destruction Wave): Not a spell nor a supernatural ability per-se in any of its existences, a shockwave is a natural phenomena that is said to be one of the highest forms of vibration; it is an emission of pure concussive force that can cause intense amounts of destruction. It is actually relatively simple to induce a shockwave – as it's simply a propagating disturbance, all the user is required to do is focus a large amount of kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by any moving object; into one or more of their limbs, gathering it in a single movement by making a movement with the selected limbs in question at high speeds to ensure that the ensuing blow would cause an intense acceleration of the kinetic energy to grant it amazing force as the user launches the extremity of choice from any direction – once their strike has made contact with something, they release these incredible amounts of kinetic energy from the "small point" known as the end of their limb, and as long as the medium is even slightly tangible, the shockwave comes into existence as a form of a high-pressure wave of pure concussive force that travels faster than the speed of sound and can propagate through the point of impact, shaking both the medium and anything around it, causing the objects around the point-of-impact to vibrate erratically in an extremely hard and fast wave, which causes other things that the material touches to vibrate too, resulting in a powerful explosion that does even more damage – it is called a "shock wave" because the wave of concussive force reverberates up and down like a crashing wave in the ocean. Upon releasing the shockwave, the wave of pure concussive of sorts more often than not damages the surrounding environment, blasting through the medium it was transferred through at astounding speeds in any direction that the user chooses upon release; these shockwaves can ripple through the ground or in the atmosphere, bringing mass destruction to anything that they come into contact with- they can repulse enemies away with incredible force while pushing over those on the fringe of the shockwave and shattering delicate substances; at the highest point, a shockwave can even cause minor earthquakes by shaking the ground or dislodging underground tectonic plates. The shockwaves can uproot trees, rend the earth, cut the skies, and smash small buildings, radiating throughout the vicinity, even disrupting enemy spells if they are being cast at the time, sending them careening across the landscape preceding their own reactions. As mentioned before, a shockwave can ripple along anything at all as long as it is even slightly tangible; however, not only this, the consistency and makeup of what this wave of pure concussive force runs through has a rather subtle effect on how the shockwave reacts – for example, while a shockwave that travels through the ground is an earthquake, a thick liquid such as an ocean would result in the shockwave having a wider area-of-effect, but in contrast, a thin material like air would have the opposite effect, though in all manifestations, a shockwave is extremely deadly as it is both fast and powerful, making it easy to use and practical.

Immense Speed: As per her "high speed, high power, low defense" fighting style whether she's wielding her dual blades or going at her opponent with just her hand-to-hand skills, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Hibiki Amaterasu is almost stupendously swift on her feet despite her blindness with the ability to move at unprecedented amounts of speed, and of course, her relatively slim build only augments such a thing even further- it could be theorized that Hibiki wears so little because supposedly "too many clothes increases the drag one's body produces while in motion" or something stupid like that, but there's a more obvious reason at work. she displays very little physical strain or exertion when in motion; not only this, each and every one of her movements possess a consistent trait of being extremely fluid and precise, never wasting any time while darting around and keeping up an economy of motion in a fight; in fact, it was documented that Hibiki moves at velocities that casually outstrip the motions of the finest athletes, showing that even when limited by a lack of magical power, her physical limits still aren't the limits of a regular human – best displayed by the fact that she darted across five city blocks in four seconds with only her senses to guide her. Of course, Hibiki is known to possess complete control over her central nervous system, and similar to what she does with her strength, because she has achieved such a mastery over her nervous system, Hibiki's speeds are far beyond what most other magicians are capable of, magic-assisted or not. Indeed, Hibiki has shown to be so agile that she is capable of leaping to the top of a lamp post with ease while jumping from rooftop to rooftop- Hibiki was an avid practitioner of parkour in her younger years, and even now, still practices it- this, along with her enhanced senses, has granted Hibiki what can simply be referred to as "speed beyond speed". Hibiki's full control over her speed and her status as a traceur has given her maximum potency in battle, leaping around and performing gymnastics-heavy moves in order to dodge projectiles or other physical attacks as easy as going out to get the newspaper; Hibiki makes liberal use of back handsprings, pushing off of walls, doing twists in mid-air and finding safety without getting a single scratch; thanks to this agility, she can use the battlefield to her advantage, jumping from wall to wall to keep her opponents unsure of her attack patterns. She is capable of moving at such a velocity in both on the land and in the air that no human eyes can perceive her movements and actions- even more-so, anyone with some sort of future sight cannot predict her motions, moving at a blindingly swift pace, effortlessly evading attacks and dodging projectiles launched towards her at close-range. Thanks to her impossibly tough leg muscles, Hibiki is capable of moving at such a swift velocity that she can instantaneously close long distances without using any speed-enhancing techniques. Hibiki displays full control over the absolutely incredible velocities that she moves about as well as the resultant momentum, and she is capable of integrating it into her fighting style while accelerating to her maximum speed instantly without any build-up – but of course, to contrast, she is also capable of stopping and turning on a dime, dashing straight up vertical surfaces such as skyscrapers as well as running upon ceilings, and darting across bodies of water like some other guy in a book that a buncha people follow.
 * Reduced Earth (縮地, Shukuchi) is a basic high-speed movement technique, developed long before magic became commonplace; effectively, through the user slamming their foot upon earth ten times in a split second, they are capable of kicking off the ground in the blink of an eye and live up to the technique's name of "reduced earth" as the technique shrinks the distance between the user and their target in a split second. When performing Reduced Earth, the user focuses the majority of their body weight to one of their legs of the briefest of moments, before stomping the foot where most of their weight is focused upon the solid surface of where the user is standing at a rapid velocity before shifting the weight back to the rest of their frame, generating enough thrust to propel the user forward at incredible speeds, at least akin to a master of High Speed and defying the abilities of Slowing Magic; accelerating at velocities that are almost untraceable to reach short or long distances near instantaneously- it should be taken into consideration that in order to perform the technique at all, the user requires a solid surface to kick into and thus produce enough thrust. According to the untrained eyes of those watching on while the user performs this technique, more often than not it appears as if the user has effectively teleported using sheer power and speed alone, moving faster than anyone is capable of following as they seem to reduce the earth between the themselves and the opponent in the blink of an eye. As the Reduced Earth technique is focused entirely on speed, it can be best characterized by 'the velocity at which the user gets from the starting point to the finishing point in the least amount of movements', attempting to waste no unnecessary motions while attempting to achieve its goal. Generally, in regards to how much any user is capable of getting out of the Reduced Earth technique, things like racial traits such as perhaps elves being faster than humans do not factor into the end result- rather, it relies solely on the user's training and skill to determine how fast they can actually move, and it is mentioned that if the user neglects the skill and rarely harnesses it or practices with it, they would move at a slightly slower pace as the body would have to be accustomed to undergoing the motions of the technique regularly- this is something that could quite possibly lead to a theoretically weaker user of Reduced Earth accelerating towards their point of choice at a swifter pace than somebody who was previously deemed stronger. However, despite being heavily compared to "true" Teleportation Magic, a user of Reduced Earth is capable of being stopped in their tracks if anyone who is in the vicinity of the distance between the user and their destination calculates the miles-per-hour as well as the ending phase of the technique that the user is accelerating at and takes steps to intercept the movement accordingly, and as such it can be quite predictable in comparison to actual movement-type magics, as it doesn't use supernatural energies to prevent any sort of interruption- indeed, with Reduced Earth, an opponent with swift enough reflexes can properly counterattack the burst of speed simply by blasting them with a higher-speed projectile no matter its origin, as in the case of most users, it is near impossible to stop and turn on a dime, requiring great effort of simply stop before reaching the destination, meaning that while in motion, a user can be seen as almost powerless against an opponent's attacks- however, commonly, it is shown that due to the speeds that they move at, this generally isn't a serious concern.

Impressive Reflexes: Hibiki is shown to possess incredible reflexes; for example, was capable of evading a Sword Magic spell that caused the user's blade to expand near-instantly like a spear simply by keeping focus on the motions of the sword when the ability was about to be activated and then subtly stepping out of the way while it was still in mid-flight, making it appear to onlookers that the extending blade had missed her completely while Hibiki simply stood in place. Hibiki's reflexes are known to be ten times greater than that of an ordinary fighter, being superior to most foes that she goes up against; because of her superhuman senses enhancing all of her physical parameters, Hibiki's agility, sense of balance, and her coordination are leagues beyond even the finest athlete. Indeed, Hibiki displays astounding amounts of control over her kinetic energies, borderline supernatural precision, and uncanny reaction times – all of these accompany her inarguable super speed. Thanks to her incredible reflexes, Hibiki has shown herself to be a rather impressive acrobat, which factors heavily into her skill with parkour as she is almost constantly seen leaping around while effortlessly evading any obstacles that would normally bring her movements to a complete halt with her flawless yet delicate movements. Whereas normally, anyone moving at velocities even close to Hibiki's speed would commonly have their surroundings vanish in a split-second in their own eyes, thanks to Hibiki's enhanced senses and reflexes, she is capable of experiencing the surroundings as normal as to process everything going on around her and react accordingly without missing any detail no matter how small it is as a byproduct of her incredible speed, she sees everything in a "bullet time" of sorts; this extends to the point that she is able to recognize incoming attacks from behind her – though her agility certainly helps. She can evade powerful projectile while balancing herself on one hand, reacting so swiftly to current events in her battles that it seems as if she has a sixth sense of sorts; even being able to react to attacks before they're released; this enables her to evade point-blank blasts from several opponents simultaneously while coming off no worse for wear. As she moves about, Hibiki's agility and reflexes assist her in adjusting her position to assume any stance possible by instinct while additionally achieving perfect balance on any terrain.
 * Stance of the Buzzsaw (円鋸の構え, Marunoko no Kamae): The Stance of the Buzzsaw is a special fighting stance that was only made possible through a combination of Hibiki's small frame and her incredible reflexes and flexibility; it consists of Hibiki curling into a perfectly compact ball, enabling her to spin around at high speeds; effectively, it's a continuous somersault that omits the ending portion of the move. The Stance of the Buzzsaw is relatively bare-bones in execution, as it simply requires Hibiki using her incredible reflexes and flexibility in order to curl tightly into a ball. Normally, a more traditional spin-type attack yaws left-to-right across the body, but the Stance of the Buzzsaw involves Hibiki pitching forward into a roll of sorts. Thanks to Hibiki curling into a perfect sphere of sorts while invoking the Stance of the Buzzsaw, her body has no real openings for the enemy to exploit. As she whirls about, Hibiki can still use the velocities produced by her incredible speed while transitioning into spherical form as an acceleration tool of sorts, and the momentum gained by retracting into a ball enables her to remain in motion for a fair amount of distance, with her rotational speed increasing depending on how fast she's moving; at its highest point, the Stance of the Buzzsaw can enable Hibiki to move faster than her already impressive top-speed while using Reduced Earth or by running by herself without any enhancements – she can also instantly propel herself forward from a stationary position into the curled stance in motion without prior need for a build-up of momentum, and Hibiki can additionally launch herself upwards in a spinning jump. While airborne and still in this curled position, she is able to shoot downwards and then rebound like a hyper-destructive bouncing ball. When using her fighting style, the Stance of the Buzzsaw is combined with Hibiki's unparalleled swordsmanship as she holds her swords in both forms outwards while spinning with one sword in a reverse grip and another in a standard grasp, effectively transforming her very existence into that of a human buzzsaw as per the name of the stance, unleashing a never-ending rolling circular slash by spinning around continuously, meaning that whenever anything is unfortunate enough to come into contact with her, they are more often than not instantly exposed to her knives whirling around like a vicious tempest, rending everything asunder in the wake of her seemingly infinite flurry of blade-work.

Low Durability: As expected of a purely speed type fighter whom relies solely on her superhuman senses to "defend" herself by just anticipating the strike and leaping out of the way, Hibiki is known to be almost completely incapable of taking a hit; if she were to take a hit, she'd be knocked out in a single strike unless she created a magical defense first or blocked with her blades. Hibiki is generally quite 'flabby' in that her body contains almost zero muscle, but is otherwise quite thin. It is virtually impossible for Hibiki to take a 'serious' hit no matter the type of strike thrown her way, and if struck and sent careening across the ground, Hibiki will, more often than not, have her legs buckle inwards as she slides, as contrast to almost any other close-range fighters, who tend to keep their legs bent strong. Hibiki even notes that in a straight up close-quarters battle with anyone worth their salt, she would go down in "five seconds, give or take" and this was well shown as a physical warrior was able to knock her out in a single strike; because of this, she figured that instead of taking a more confrontational job where she used her combat skills, being an assassin was her best bet as she is completely unable to fight prolonged battles in close-quarters, and thus, she opts to utilize hit and run tactics by leaping into the fray, bombarding the opponent with a swift flurry of bladework, and then jumping out of there as her primary means of offence, hoping to incapacitate a target before taking them out; additionally, her slender and small frame makes her a difficult target as she's shown that Hibiki is able to make minute dodges that, to the untrained eye, is just Hibiki standing still and the opponent's attack misses, whereas she's actually moving her body rather subtly to evade an attack – while risky, it minimizes her chances of being struck and it allows her to remain in close-quarters and still attacking a mile a minute. However, it can easily be displayed that with each hit that Hibiki takes by somebody with immense physical strength, she more often than not gets sent careening across the landscapes, tumbling through the ground and skies before she eventually manages to catch herself. However, if she's forced to physically exert herself for more than an hour at a time, she tires out extremely quickly- though she frequently goes for hour-long-walks at least once a day because she enjoys experiencing the sensations of the peaceful surroundings and helps her take her mind off things, but after this, upon returning to her private villa, Hibiki Amaterasu is pretty much not going to do anything else for the rest of the day because of how lazy she is.

Other
Notable Intelligence: Despite her demeanour, Hibiki is shown to be fairly crafty. This is due to her time as a street rat, where she was forced to fend for herself and develop a certain cunning in order to survive. Because of this, she's shown herself to be fairly analytical and deductive despite her relatively unassuming appearance. Despite the fact that she more often than not focuses solely upon her physical skills to overwhelm an opponent through her speed and bladework, Hibiki is capable of completely analyzing and thinking up an appropriate countermeasure for her opponents' techniques no matter their origin through sensing the atmosphere with her enhanced senses, which grants her the ability to somewhat predict the opposing attack a second time around—though this is not fool-proof. Simply through her superhuman senses, Hibiki is capable of discerning the opponents' battle style and powers, quickly grasping the situation at hand and immediately going to form plans to work according to her current advantages and countering possible threats. On that note, Hibiki is generally aware of her capabilities and limitations, which assists her in properly coordinating every effort she makes in the heat of combat. Hibiki is a recognized genius; though this only applies to certain subjects, i.e. the things that interest her; which isn't very much due to her narrowly defined interests. While it is obvious that her intellect does not extend to her piss-poor knowledge of behaviour of other beings -either because she possesses horrible social skills or everyone around her needs to see a shrink- in regards to minor things such as little bits of trivia about the most random of subjects. Even so, she seems to have lost the ability to even formulate proper mathematical equations as after her departure from the school, Hibiki decided to simply say "screw this" to the ghastly and heretical practice known as "school work" but to be fair, nobody likes mathematics.

Kinetic Energy Manipulation: Thanks to her extensive training, Hibiki possesses a not-too-common ability to manipulate her own kinetic energy, which is effectively the energy that is possessed by any object while in motion and the necessary work that is required for anything at all with a given mass to move from its stillness. Because of this ability, Hibiki Amaterasu has displayed a thorough understanding of how to make the most of her natural speed, which grants her the capability of harnessing the momentum she produces in any sort of environment –not limited to but including the seas, the air, and the ground- and she can channel the forces produced by her movements for various applications, including lightning-quick offensive and defensive measures. These techniques and abilities that are only available through her mastery of her body's momentum and top speed are highly varied, with almost countless applications at her disposal. While she's darting around, Hibiki has shown that she is able to transfer the momentum generated by her movements into kinetic energy through numerous parts of her body, resulting in each and every one of her blows possessing a rather explosive amount of force – this is a major reason why Hibiki possesses such incredible strength despite her seeming fragility as her attacks and movements impart the kinetic energies that build up with her speed into each point of impact, often releasing shockwaves that radiate across the flat surface accompanied by a small explosion as Hibiki lands on a solid surface; this also enables Hibiki to instantaneously blast off and shoot forth like a speeding bullet from a stationary position while casually unleashing a furious flurry of blade strikes that land at amazing speeds rend anything that they come into contact with in twain. However, the kinetic energy gathered while she is accelerating forth is modified once her momentum also becomes altered, meaning that once she stops moving, the kinetic energy in her body built up through her movements vanishes. Not only this, Hibiki is able to induce a vibration of her molecular structure while in motion, enabling her to become intangible to phase through objects of all sorts, and Hibiki's law-defying movements are accompanied by intense winds that she is able to manipulate ever-so-slightly as a form of aerokinesis.

Magical Abilities
Immense Magical Power: Hibiki is known to be one of the great magicians to have ever lived despite her young age- what baffles grown adults, officials, allies, and enemies alike is how much magical energy she has; her raw power output is truly immense, bordering a tactical nuclear device; she has high amounts of magical power that is more than a force to be reckoned with; a fact that she proves without a doubt. While she usually keeps it under control, when sufficiently angered and deciding to go all-out, she can release it to its full extent. Hibiki's magical power is unlike anything ever felt before; or rather, not felt before as she is known to be one of the great magicians to have ever lived despite her young age- she is said to be in-tune with the essence of magic itself, through her eyes, magic is simply an extension of her willpower. Hibiki's body stores energy actively within her soul as an energy pattern that is linked to her body's Magic Origin. This energy powers most of Hibiki's magical abilities, giving her an enormous boost in her magical capacity over other "normal" magicians, something that is only enhanced by having full mastery over all four magic styles, meaning that one could easily mistake Hibiki's sheer magical power for that of a never-ending amount. Her efficiency with her magical energy can be considered to be comparable to a car that can move across an entire state with only one liter of gasoline powering it.

The current head of the Magic Council, when asking her to test the Magic Power Finder, was unable to fully gauge Hibiki's exact amount of magical energy. As a contrast to this truly immeasurable amount, her magical power is noted to be not detrimental to the environment or others unless she herself wishes it to be. Her skill and control at using manipulating her magical energy aura allows her to perform a variety of abilities; her magical energy constantly interacts with the energy in the vicinity even when not in combat, changing their properties in a very minimal way. Unlike other magicians, Hibiki's magical energy is invisible to the naked eye—any magic-inclined being is incapable of seeing it with their own two eyes unless she voluntarily shows them; such a phenomenon can be likened to "How an ant is incapable of doing anything about the human about to tread on them"; indeed, it's shown that Hibiki's magical power is only capable of being rendered visible by somebody on a similar level of power- indeed, the level of her magical power is said to be impossible to truly perceive, seemingly a bottomless well from which her energy springs- it never seems to run out, and theoretically, unless taken out by a physical attack, she could fight for extremely long periods of time without rest.

Hibiki has shown the rare skill which allows her to convert anything into something to do with magic; this is done by Hibiki's Magical Aura "dominating" all forms of particle energies and changing its particle composition to that of Eternano, which is absorbed into her Magic Origin (魔原, Magen), which is exactly what the wording indicates—it is a special organ that is located within the body of a magician, that absorbs eternano and bunches it up into clusters, which is processed into magical power. Every magician has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power; this is precisely what a Magic Origin is. If the case becomes empty, eternano will come from the atmosphere and enters the magician's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored. Interestingly, via tweaking the "properties" of her Magic Origin, Even when worn-out in battle, she can continue fighting effectively while still using her spells to their fullest extent; being a magical juggernaut who, most of the time, is unable to be impeded unless it is via the strongest opponents. Her magical power, at times, feels like a bottomless well- and is so great it can be felt from a great distance and it has the tendency to make people perspire in fear. Overall, Hibiki's magical power can be simply regarded as immeasurable, that any individual that tries to sense the depths of her power will only find themselves lost in its vastness.
 * Magical Aura (魔力の霊気, Maryoku no Reiki): A Magical Aura is a common term given to the exertion of magical energy into a form outside of the user's body that isn't used in the formation of spells. It has been demonstrated by various mages of varying potency, and is a common means of intimidation. A magical aura is created when the body's container of Eternano particles exceeds the limits of what it contains, or is purposefully released by the user. Upon doing so, the magical energy surges around the body and is exerted outwards in the form of an aura, which holds considerable pressure surrounding it. Depending on the level of magical power one possesses and the control behind it, it can be used as a means to intimidate another individual, or as a preparation for a powerful spell. It should be noted that the density of this aura can cause physical attacks to be repelled with notable ease; Hibiki's aura almost consumes her in its colour, leaving nothing but a phantom-like apparition to remain. It is also worth noting that the pressure exhibited from such an aura can form a large column of energy, leaving the pressure enough to visibly cause strain on people even from a considerable distance away from the exertion of the aura, indicating at the sheer level of power within this aura; this has the additional effect of affecting entire areas to the point of disrupting spells from enemies, as well as affecting others from seemingly miles away. Generally, Hibiki is shown to have the ability to control her own magical aura, keeping it repressed so it won't harm people she deems not needing a good smack in the face, though she always leaves some part of her magical energy leaking out to give off an aura of intimidation. Hibiki can also use her own magical aura in order to nullify the enemy's own magical aura, and thus drastically weaken the output of their own spells; by syncing her output of magical aura with the opponent's and keeping them exactly equal, Hibiki is capable of preventing a change in atmosphere through magical powers, instead creating a threshold for any spell or technique that seeks to change the atmosphere to overcome in order to take effect; she herself is unaffected by this property of her magical aura.
 * Magic Skill: Eternano Haste (, Majikku Sukiru: Ēterunano Heisuto lit. Internalized Magic Arts: Magic Power Restoration): The Magic Skill known as Eternano Haste is a rather rare skill that only the most powerful of magicians are born with, or they develop later in life. However, firstly, as it has been discovered, some magicians, once they have mastered the art of magic, are capable of manipulating eternano, or just plain showing off unique ways to utilize magic, far beyond the norm. These skills are collectively known as Magic Skills (, Majikku Sukiru lit. Internalized Magic Arts) instead of magic proper; thanks to being simply a manipulation and extension of the basics, as opposed to using magic to create a new function entirely. In this case, while normally, eternano flows into the magician's Magic Origin from the atmosphere after their magical power has been expended. However, if the magician has access to Eternano Haste, then eternano will enter the magician's body much quicker; it works by converting half of the nearby eternano into magical power, which the user's Magic Origin absorbs, thereby cutting the cost of regular spells by half the amount, as the name suggests, enabling them to gather magical energy much faster than many other magicians who even use less magic; especially when they have been recently drained of power, allowing the user to get back to casting powerful spells easily, in addition to this, when they are half out of energy, the user's Magic Origin initiates a suction effect, absorbing any ambient eternano from the atmosphere and drawing it into the user's body, restoring their magical power. However, this can only be done five times per battle, as after that, the area will be devoid of eternano, rendering both magicians' magic effectively useless.

Magic in General
Masterful Magic Usage: Magic (魔法, Mahō) is the main form of combat for Mages; it is the physical embodiment of the spirit. When the physical spirit of an organism connects with the spiritual flow of nature, the spirit forms Magic as a product of the connection. To utilize Magic, a Mage must use Magic Power (魔力, Maryoku) in their body. Magic Power is the source of Power for all Mages, it is composed of Eternano (, Ēterunano lit. Magic Particles), which is the term coined to name particles of Magic. Eternano dwells inside all living organisms and throughout the atmosphere. Nobody knows when Magic began, or how Eternano originated. Eternano is the source of Magic Power for all Mages; and every Mage has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power. If the case becomes empty, Eternano will come from the atmosphere and enters the Mage's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored. Eternano has near-zero rest mass - though, like any particle, its mass increases to reflect its potential or kinetic energy - and can carry either a positive or negative charge.

In order to cast spells, a magician derives the power necessary from two sources: their own body's Magic Origin (魔原, Magen), and the atmosphere. A Magic Origin is exactly what the wording indicates—it is a special organ that is located within the body of a magician, that absorbs eternano and bunches it up into clusters, which is processed into magical power. Every magician has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power; this is precisely what a Magic Origin is. If the case becomes empty, eternano will come from the atmosphere and enters the magician's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored. It appears that the concept of using a proportion to the user's Magic Origin or the atmosphere is dependent entirely upon the magic used in question. With internal magic such as High Speed, one requires the use of their own magic far more than external magic such as Fire Magic, where they generally rely more on atmospherically magic. By collecting eternano and subsequently imbuing it with a certain 'command' through either an incantation, hand gesture or a simple spell name, allow it to then mysteriously take upon a characteristic unique to that spell. Interestingly, some magicians, if they are descended from unique families, have shown that they are capable of replenishing their eternano faster thanks to unique traits.

However, Hibiki herself is a unique beast on her own – Caster, Holder, none of those classifications are of any concern to her. To somebody whom has spent a majority of her life studying and researching the various effects and interactions that the supernatural energies that bring light to the world, when combined with her rather aloof and methodological nature when it comes to her line of work, the art of harnessing the arcane comes off as naught but child's play. She sneeringly looks down on those who treat magical energies and magic as something "special" and "mystical", seeing them as immature children who refuse to grow up. Her spellcasting is seemingly one-of-a-kind; deriving its main influence from her own nature as cool, collected, and most of all, a very technical woman who seems to have a fondness for long, detailed explanations, rather than any cultural quirks, Hibiki discarded the traditional aspects of magic like they were nothing but trash, substituting her own views on the arcane and adopting them as her main method of spellcasting and combat in general. While most magic users see the art as something amazing, something beyond mortal comprehension – a mystic force to be admired and work in tandem with, Hibiki herself, due to her cold and methodological nature when it comes to her job, sees magic as a tool to achieve her goals and desires, but as she has spent a majority of her life around it, magic is a portion of her very being, as she sees and uses it as an extra limb of sorts. Casting spells of all kinds and ranks and manipulating magical energies comes as easy to her as breathing or blinking. Hibiki is shown to have an understanding of Magic that no-one else does- indeed, if one were to consider this arcane power a sentient force, it would be more inclined to assist Hibiki more than anyone else.

Hibiki's personalized method of spellcasting is known as Unlimited Rotation (, Anrimiteddo Rōtēshon lit. Magical Energy Full-Body Numerology Revolutionary Conversion) it is, put simply, the result of taking advantage of how the emergence of magic has modified the body to be compatible with the new particle- when casting a spell, Hibiki generates magical energy from her Magic Origin, and instead of releasing it from her body, she allows it to pass through her body while invoking the conversion and fusion of the eternano outside with the magical energy inside her body by applying her knowledge of magic in order to draw the ambient eternano suspended in the environment towards her instantly; by the time her magical energy has passed through her limbs, it is already complete so to speak, utilizing the magic channels in her body in a similar manner to that of a gun in order to launch the spell instantly without any delay, being expelled in such a method that causes the arms and legs that launch the spell to resemble rocket burners; her outstanding reflexes and prediction act in synergy with the powerful force of the spells she releases with both hands. The spells cast through Unlimited Rotation are completely different than spells which are cast through both modern and ancient magic styles; since the latter two function through a fission of sorts in order to fuse the magical energy and eternano, Unlimited Rotation has an 'insta-cast' effect that disregards the influence of nature in order to launch Hibiki's spells instantly without any prior requirements or preparations, using her body's own kinetic energy in order to bring the required fusion tools into the current plane of existence.

What is referred to as "Unlimited Rotation" is undoubtedly simple yet efficient and powerful; while a bit monotonous as it's the same activation sequence over and over, it's also quite an advantage because it's the same activation sequence over and over; there's no delays in casting time and thanks to her general mastery over magic, each spell that Hibiki unleashes is consistently overwhelming in both terms of scope and power, far beyond almost any other user of the spell. Not only this, due to the activation sequence starting and finishing in less than a split-second and using the same sequence all the time, Hibiki has displayed the ability to abort any spellcasting in progress in order to perform a more favourable maneuver as required during the flow of combat, in a very similar manner to that of 'move-cancelling' theory as seen in fighting games; and by simply harnessing its power- no, by working in tandem with the eternano saturated all around existence, Hibiki redefines the laws and customs of the arcane with every usage, smashing down every taboo, strength, weakness, and mechanic, reconstructing it from the ground up on her own terms, ignoring and surpassing every supposed limitation contained within every spell or magic in general. Her usage of magic is more like a conductor directing a symphony to their own liking and the band following their every whim, the desires of everyone harmonizing flawlessly into a divine piece of music, as a contrast to other magicians, whom simply cast the spell and be done with it. It could be considered more of an artwork of utmost brilliance than somebody harnessing a weapon; showing her mastery of magic to be above any other "contemporary" warrior.

However, it should definitely be taken into consideration that thanks to her general laziness and downright maddening need to never put in more energy than is required in a fight due to dislike of showing off more than is necessary (which is still a lot), Hibiki consistently downplays her own mastery over the arcane to keep her true skill under wraps at all times, refusing to overtly broadcast the mere existence of her power, preferring to apply it in a subtle manner in select intervals to gently affect the course of a battle, making it appear as if she were teleporting around with impunity while evading everything thrown her way if she does not simply form a barrier to deflect it, and it often appears as if surroundings and opponents were being busted to naught but shreds simply by Hibiki mentally commanding such a thing to happen, granting her an immense psychological advantage over her adversaries while giving off the air of being downright invincible. Because of this, it could quite possibly be said that Hibiki is much more powerful than the seeming "god of magic" in Aeternum, but because she prefers close-range combat and is quite lazy herself, not many people know about how powerful she truly is.
 * Spell Manipulation: An essential for the most die-hard of masters over the way of the arcane is the ability to manipulate and shape magic in any way they deem suitable – this also isn't limited to the caster's own magic as well. Hibiki herself, thanks to her calm and precise method of harnessing magic in addition to her harmony with the supernatural particle known as eternano and its variants, possesses a level of control over the art that translates to an immense knowledge of the particle, far beyond than what is released to the public, what is inscribed within grimoires and exceeding the powers displayed in legends. Knowing the ins and outs of every magic recorded in conjunction with her own perceptive nature in regards to spellcasting, Hibiki has mentally recorded all available knowledge on this special magic art into her memory, leading her to know the exact eternano composition and the formation mechanics of any spell, and as such, she has displayed the ability to flawlessly and swiftly manipulate and shape all spells in accordance to her mental commands. For example, upon bringing the mid-tier fire-elemental magic spell known as Fire Bullet into the current plane of existence, she is capable of molding it into a crescent wave or wall of flame brought up in front of her that burns away almost anything that attempts to push through and land a clean hit on this wondrous magician. These actions aren't even "variants" per-se, but rather, as there is nothing more or less added to the magic spells, they are still the exact same, but simply forged into a different form to serve an alternative purpose. As with her regular spellcasting time hewn from her fast activation sequence, the process of repurposing a spell of any kind occurs in less than a split-second, taking enemies and allies by surprise no matter how many times she is shown doing such an impressive feat. This is part of the reason why her natural dominance over magic is only enhanced- thanks to her immense intelligence and craftiness, Hibiki has shown the ability to forcibly swipe ownership of a spell from enemy magicians by subjugating the elements of eternano in the atmosphere while her aura pulverizes her hapless foes; their spells rendered null and void under Hibiki's masterful handling of the art. Even if the spell is something withdrawn from the public, even if the spell is unique to the enemy, as everything and anything within the essence of magic is the fusion of magical energy and eternano, Hibiki can determine the strengths, weaknesses, and numerous other factors of a spell and then replicate it perfectly most of the time.

Magic Energy Control
Magical Energy Control: Despite the downright immeasurable quantities of magical energies which are compressed within her slender frame, Hibiki has displayed an almost uncanny precision and the knowledge of how to harness it to its fullest extent, making perfect usage of these vast amounts of supernatural powers dwelling in her body with a fine control over her magical energies to the point that she could be confused by onlookers as having only a miniscule amount of magical energies of all kinds dwelling within her slender body. Thanks to her coolness even in the fires of combat and her intricate knowledge of magic energies no matter their properties, each and every maneuver and action she makes guarantees one-hundred-percent efficiency with no wasted movements, never making any mistakes in the battlefields of war. Every action, every spell cast, every measure taken —all of these are performed with economy of motion in mind, gracefully transitioning from ability to ability with no magic power leakage that would cause her energy total to unnecessarily drop at any moment. Despite her large levels of magic energy, being somewhat of a perfectionist, Hibiki aims to finish each battle that she partakes in with a level of magical energy drop as she predicted, and loathes having to use more and less force than what is required for the current task at hand.

Not only this, thanks to her careful utilization of her magical energies, Hibiki is shown to possess a natural affinity for utilizing magical energies in any way that she deems suitable- as long as she is capable of imagining it being done, effectively, the sky is the limit. Hibiki is capable of bringing out the power of her own eternano-enhanced-and-based attacks to the utmost maximum as well as stunt her enemy's own magical prowess through minute amounts of manipulation of various opposing projectiles of any kind- visually, this appears as Hibiki making rather subtle movements with her hands, directing the eternano which are saturated within the atmosphere to interfere with the mass of energy heading straight towards her, serving as a semi-solid barrier of pure magical energy that does not "defend" but rather works as a super-adhesive glue, slowing it down to the point that any motion that was once apparent in the seemingly almighty blast shooting in her direction, streaking through the skies in an attempt to knock her off of her feet turning into naught but a useless wad of energy that moves at the rapid pace of a snail, allowing Hibiki to simply walk around it or induce her mastery over sorcery upon this pathetic excuse for an attack; she can also compress more magical powers into her various spells to give them an enormous boost in speed, strength, and scope simply absorbing the composition of opposing powers thrown her way.

This method of harnessing the miraculous particles which are consistently saturated throughout the atmosphere can be compared with that of a user of Molding Magic, who utilize the particles of eternano which are saturated throughout existence itself in order to form the majority of their skills- however, a user of Molding Magic uses the eternano in the vicinity and merges it with their magical power in order to create weapons of many kinds, thus fighting with a power from outside of their body, whereas Hibiki cannot reach the same level of feats displayed by a user of Molding Magic as she doesn't use the magic, she is able to hold some semblance of dominance over eternano as she can simply manipulate them and do pretty much anything with them – it could even be said that the distinction between a Molding Magic user's control over eternano and Hibiki's own is something she made up and that there's no real difference in potency in regards to manipulating the eternano. Indeed, Hibiki is able to manipulate the eternano for offensive, defensive, and supportive purposes in any way that she wishes; enabling her to harness her magical energies more efficiently and utilize it in a variety of different ways than most other magicians, once again, mimicking a user of Molding Magic, Hibiki has displayed such a fine control over eternano that she is capable of invoking the "Spirit Weapon Summon" command, molding and shaping eternano in conjunction to form armaments of pure energy on a whim – generally, because of this, Hibiki's prowess with eternano and the like functions as a defense against illusions due to her sheer mastery over it, making her all but immune to everything except the strongest of fabrications, shrugging them off effortlessly while her mastery over her domain transcends any other.

Green Magic
Green Magic (緑の魔法, Midori no Mahō), also referred to as Nature Magic (自然の魔法, Shizen no Mahō) is a Caster Magic that involves the manipulation of nature and elements that are connected to it, such as flora and fauna. It is a rare magic, and was once considered to be a Lost Magic, though as more magician wielding its power appeared, this classification has been debunked.

Green Magic, as mentioned above, is a magic which enables the user to manipulate the essence of nature itself. When activating Green Magic, the caster momentarily surges their magical energy outwards, placing ambient eternano which is saturated within the atmosphere under their thrall before utilizing nothing but mental commands in order to focus the masses of magical energy which had just formed, shooting it into the earth before the vast quantities of supernatural energies expand exponentially, seeping through the cracks in the ground while washing over the surface, granting the caster the ability to manipulate the soil and anything related to it in any way that they wish even without directly touching it- as long as their magical energy washes over something and it could be considered to be connected to plant life, the user is capable of modifying it, even through thought alone; they can also infuse their magical energies with dead or living roots of trees. Through this process, they are able to cause the roots to restart their growth cycle; in the case of Green Magic, this enables the caster to communicate, influence, manipulate, and control flora and fauna, as well as natural phenomena, such as the geology of the vicinity, and the matter and energy of which all these things are composed – nature itself functions similarly to a "hive mind" of sorts, meaning that the caster can control masses of flora and fauna at once. Previously, it was said that Green Magic was non-offensive, but once more, this has been proven false, as it can be utilized in a similar manner to that of other Elemental Magic.

With Green Magic, the user is capable of freely manipulating nature, creating nature, rapidly accelerate the growth of plants; this can be done to rather minuscule plants on the ground, or on the user's own body, and interacting with nature enables them to heal their body and restore their magical power. Because of this, it works best in lush, forested environments. The nature can take on a variety of functions, such as offensives, supplements, and altering of properties. Because of these aspects, the user can create nature and plants from the ground of or their very being, causing them to grow to great sizes and manipulate them to diverse shapes and battle uses at will and in an instant, they could shape the entire battlefield for their own uses. Indeed, the user can create massive forests and gigantic flowering trees whose pollen can render a foe unconscious; by communicating with nature, the caster can become instantly familiar with their surroundings, with the earth responding to their emotions and desires, causing flower fields to beautifully blossom instantly as thousand of trees erupt from the once barren earth along with lush grass. The user can use large-scaled and highly destructive techniques such as creating numerous massive trees with which to attack their opponents directly, and a dense forest of flowering trees, whose pollen can render a foe unconscious; and the user is able to merge with and hide within trees.

It is said that simply by possessing Green Magic, the caster is capable of surviving in any and every natural environment on the planet – even if said environment were to be modified in any way, Green Magic would help them adapt to the change or revert the surroundings back to their previous state, enabling the user to consistently function and do battle efficiently no matter their location. With Green Magic, the user is also capable of creating single or multiple nature clones using the pre-existing vegetation and wood in the immediate vicinity as a medium; arguably the most dangerous aspect of the magic is that everything that is connected to the environment, including plant life underwater, plants from the group, and even pre-existing forms- effectively, what the user is capable of influencing ranges from secret seeds (秘種, Hidane) to even flowering trees, giving the user an extremely large range of versatility; the caster is able to summon forth vines to entangle or snare their opponents, or act like whips to lash out at enemies viciously, and the caster is capable of controlling both flora and fauna, mimicking their abilities and forms – a good example of this is by controlling animals to attack the user's enemies and calling upon various forms of both flora and fauna to instinctively defend the caster or serve as diversions.

With the power over nature under their belt, the caster is able to induce a form of Healing Magic upon nature itself by focusing on "weak spots" discovered through careful observation, which is usually damage taken by outside forces. By placing their hand upon the damaged nature, whether it be flora or fauna, the caster can pulse their magical energies into the area and then heal and purify, as well as generally influence the health of nature, restoring it to top shape once more. A master of Green Magic can manifest complete trees, including wood, vines, plants, fruits and flowers, even moss and fungus; allowing plants to grow from the soil, move/attack or even rise from the soil and 'walk', mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure, and revive withered or dead plants. This ability can also be used to create other aspects of trees, such as seeds or flowers by modifying the properties. Taking this versatility further, the user can force their trees to sprout seeds/fruits/berries, or even to possibly use plant chemicals to heal people or objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects; producing different types of fruits and even synthesizing new types of nature from nothing, which they can utilize with various effects or transform them into golems to assault the opponent, manipulate the sharpness of the flowers and grass to cut through anything, and many other effects. This Magic can also be used to slow down, and halt, desertification.

Hibiki Amaterasu's own form of Green Magic is known as Hika Rakuyō (, Hika Rakuyō lit. Evanescence of the World), a powerful version of the ability to manipulate all forms of nature that is a vast cut above any other type; it's obvious that even nature-element Slayer Magics would never be capable of reaching the heights of manipulation and dominance over nature that Hibiki has ascended to. As such, she has complete and absolute control over any and all source of nature, even from other magicians and the environment itself – all of Hibiki's spells can also absorb opposing sources of nature in order to bolster the strength, speed, and scope of her own spells. The level at which Hibiki bends the existence of nature is seemingly exclusive to her and her alone, as nobody else has displayed such potency – indeed, even nature-inclined Slayer Magics and Lost Magics are noticeably weaker in terms of power and scope, proving that the ingenuity of the caster is what truly determines the power that a user of elemental magic displays in this case. Indeed, Hibiki has displayed the ability to induce terraforming upon the landscape through her Green Magic, completely altering the immediate vicinity into a structure that's more advantageous for herself in order to grant her an edge in the heat of combat – while in other cases, this process would gradually come into effect, Hibiki's sheer power ensures that it happens in the blink of an eye.

As per her cherry blossom motif, Hibiki's Hika Rakuyō mainly revolves around the manifestation and manipulation of those aesthetically pleasing petals and the trees from which they scatter, being one of nature's most beautiful –and possibly painful depending on how one picks it up- plants; easily noticeable by its pink-red petals and thorny stem – in the hands of Hibiki, cherry blossoms (桜花, Sakura) are some of the most versatile and dangerous aspects of nature around. In any case, Hika Rakuyō enables Hibiki to form countless barrages of razor-sharp cherry blossom petals, manipulate the petals into any structure in a similar manner to that of Molding Magic such as weaponry, most notably a sword and shield for close combat, and launch cherry blossom thorns at her enemies at high speeds. However, Hibiki has also displayed a certain proficiency in wielding and generating bamboo (竹, Take), which are some of the fastest-growing plants in the world, characterized by their hollow stem with scattered vascular bundles in the cross section – bamboo possesses a higher compressive strength than ordinary wood, bricks, or concrete, effectively rivaling steel. Hibiki mainly harnesses her bamboo constructs to form weaponry and defensive structures, as well as to trap opponents.

The nature –no matter its composition and origin – that she creates using Green Magic is astoundingly durable and strong, capable of withstanding a Dragon's Roar even against a user of, which, logically, Green Magic would have a severe weakness against. The precision and speed that Hibiki displays with her Green Magic enables her to form countless weapons and structures instantly similar to that of the Wood-Make Molding Magic, but on a vaster scale, granting her the ability to perform countless actions from all angles even if she is standing in place. Interestingly, through a method referred to as "Natura Synthesizer" (, Nachura Shinsesaizā lit. Thought-Created Additions to the Natural Realm), Hibiki has displayed the ability to form completely new and exotic types of plants and woods to suit the situation at hand. These constructs are not preexisting, but rather, through thoughts alone, Hibiki can take any type of nature that she has thought up and, by using her magical energy as well as Green Magic as a catalyst, bring it into the current plane of existence, giving these nature creations physical substance. Through this method, Hibiki is capable of mitigating the perceived weaknesses inherent to Green Magic, such as creating plants that possess the properties of water, thus dampening flames as well as types of wood that are able to withstand any sort of attack thrown her way no matter its scope – Natura Synthesizer is an existence similar to that of Arc of Embodiment and Memory-Make in that regard.

Hibiki herself is one of the strongest users Green Magic around, if not the strongest, quite possibly far surpassing that Wizard Saint in Ishgar. Commonly, while Hibiki doesn't really show off her full mastery over Green Magic in regards to its projectile and life-giving capabilities as she is known to continuously hold back in the heat of battle, she does however integrate the power of Green Magic into her predominantly close-range fighting style, using it in a merger of both of Hibiki's main methods of fighting and physical abilities with her expertise in handing her special magic, focusing almost entirely upon unleashing various combos with a certain brutality in conjunction with her agility. When fighting with Green Magic, Hibiki focuses the nature produced by her Green Magic into her limbs and the like, that infuses Hibiki's Green Magic into her body for all sorts of purposes, each and every one of her blows unarmed or not augmented by working in tandem with her Green Magic, constantly releasing short-range pulses of nature with each strike, creating an existence similar to that of Slayer Magic, unleashing powerful punches, kicks, sword strikes, and body blows which move at such a velocity that the magical energies released by her strikes instantaneously induce the conversion breakdown of eternano within the atmosphere, terraforming the vicinity into lush forests instantly as Hibiki releases attacks of all kinds which are directed towards the opponent, more often than not in the form of streams and rings of nature.

This incredible method increases Hibiki's combat abilities as she releases concentrated barrages of nature to overwhelm opponents, keeping up a vicious assault as her swift flurries of unarmed and armed strikes instantly bring countless diverse shapes forth for offensive attacks, changing simply by coming into contact with them while landing deathly blows upon the enemy over and over, attacking viciously with many of her strikes aimed at an opponent's face or neck; she can additionally cause the microscopic flora within her enemies bodies to grow out and kill them from the inside, displaying such a fine control over nature that is completely unmatched. No nature-based Lost Magic, Slayer Magic, or even a Curse is safe from the absorption ability of Hibiki's Green Magic, as for the latter, the moment that the demon particles that compose the Etherious ability come into contact with her nature, her serene aura converting the particles into eternano before absorbing it and using it to enhance her next attack. What should be noted is that Hibiki's Green Magic is unable to be consumed by any nature-element Slayer, especially a Wood or Forest Slayer. When a foolish Slayer attempts to consume the elemental magic, it will seep into their bloodstream and then cause tree branches to impale them from inside out. There is no actual way to consume Hibiki's Green Magic a fact that will never change.

Supplementary Abilities

 * Hyakka Ryōran (, Hyakka Ryōran lit. Many Flowers Blooming in Profusion): Hyakka Ryōran is the name of a special method of activating Green Magic that is exclusive to Hibiki Amaterasu – it is said to be one of her hidden trump cards, a power that enables her to manifest nature without even being in proximity to nature, generating her natural element out of thin air. When inducing Hyakka Ryōran, Hibiki snaps her middle finger and thumb on any one of her hands- this gesture acts as a conduit which focuses and dictates the flow of magical energy, tapping into the magical energies that already exist within the earth and matter; representing the cyclical flow of eternano and turns that power to manipulable ends; allowing Hibiki to mold and initiate the fusion of magical energy- however, from here, instead of performing the usual actions of activating Green Magic via extending her magical energies into the solid surface below, Hibiki focuses her thoughts and feelings, beginning to imagine any portion of anything that could be considered to be manipulable within the confines of her Green Magic and then as if it were a series of gears beginning to whirl together like a well-oiled machine, Hibiki's thoughts begin to transfer from the realm of her mind into the physical plane before that aspect of nature is generated from thin air, this entire process could be compared to a "Molding Magic without an element" and a revolutionary series of steps in themselves as it was once said that shaping in a similar manner to that of creation magic requires an element to be physically present in order to actually achieve such a feat; indeed, the only limitations are Hibiki's own imagination, and it requires no prior movements which are all in-born with Molding Magic, instead, Hibiki can form countless forms of nature simply by shaping her magical power and thinking about it, not even using the proper modification technique known as Shape Transformation in order to bring her thoughts into reality; for this reason, it can be said that Hyakka Ryōran is far more effective than bog-standard nature-based magics or powers similar to them. With Hyakka Ryōran, Hibiki is capable of harnessing her Green Magic no matter her current location, even if sources of soil and nature are not present simply by generating what she needs in accordance to the situation at hand from nothing, giving her the advantage in combat as, when combined with the properties of her Hika Rakuyō Green Magic, she can manifest nature from naught which is incapable of being banished, allowing her to fight at full power no matter what happens.
 * Kachō Fūgetsu (, Kachō Fūgetsu lit. The Beauties of Nature): Kachō Fūgetsu is a special sub-ability of Green Magic- it can be considered an existence similar to that of the Wood-Make Molding Magic. It is Hibiki's main usage of Green Magic other than simply using it to bolster her close-quarters capabilities; in any case, Kachō Fūgetsu is triggered by Hibiki either using the Hyakka Ryōran method or by the traditional activation sequence, surging her magical energy outwards, placing ambient eternano which is saturated within the atmosphere under her thrall before utilizing nothing but mental commands in order to focus the masses of magical energy which had just formed, shooting it into the earth before the vast quantities of supernatural energies expand exponentially, seeping through the cracks in the ground while washing over the surface, granting Hibiki the ability to manipulate the soil and anything related to it in any way without the need for direct contact. From here, Hibiki uses her imagination in order to mold the nature created into anything that she deems suitable in a matter of seconds. The natural structures that Hibiki manifests all carry the natural overwhelming power of her Green Magic, even when Hibiki isn't touching them, making them a cut above most other forms of structure-creation magic. Hibiki is known to manipulate the density of her structures formed through all forms of Kachō Fūgetsu so that they can become as hard as diamond to as brittle as glass so that once they scatter near the enemy, Hibiki can direct the stray portions of nature scattering off of her spells to trap them and induce a death by a thousand blasts. With it, Hibiki can create a variety of objects out of nature itself to be used for offensive, defensive, or miscellaneous purposes. While so, one of those miscellaneous purposes are used for making medicines, drugs, and so on in the element of nature being primarily present in Hibiki's raw magical energy reserve. The items created out of nature are purely curable against any Poison-base magics and Bacteria-base magics by all forms. The nature of Kachō Fūgetsu can also be used as wound dressing, stanching bleeding and preventing micro-living bacteria/germs/poisons from anyway being physically spread across the wound itself. This type of magic can cure illnesses/viruses that they were infected with during their lifetime. As a result, all injuries inflicted upon any situations will be fully healed in the process.
 * Field Spell: Great Forest (, Fīrudo Superu: Gurēto Foresuto lit. Terrain Modifying Magic Art: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees): Great Forest is a Green Magic spell which enables the user to affect the terrain around them, morphing it into a form more suitable to their magic; this spell is said to be the trump card of Green Magic. When activating the Field Spell called Great Forest, the user slams their palm into the ground, activating the Green Magic, instilling their magical power into the ground, forcing trees to grow on any surface, easily creating a dense forest anywhere that the user chooses to. When Great Forrest morphs the terrain, a small plant can grow into a forest in an instant. By pouring more and more magical power into the spell, the user maneuvers it as they see fit for attack and defense; and furthermore, this omnipotent technique even allows them to capture the enemy at the same time. With tremendous magical power, the trees can pierce through earthen walls, and extend their branches at their prey in an instant; creating a dense forest of flowering trees. The pollen produced by these flowers is then released into the atmosphere and when inhaled, renders any afflicted target unconscious. With enough willpower, it is possible to regain consciousness. However, in order to counter the technique fully, either the trees themselves must be destroyed completely or the target must continue to remain elevated above the dispersed pollen. Within the confines of this battlefield, the user can manipulate the sharpness of the flowers and grass to cut through anything; they can summon a massive fist from a tree to punch their opponent, and also create multiple, smaller tree fists to pummel their opponent viciously as well- generally Great Forest has countless applications only limited by the user's imagination. Such a hazardous battleground can be dispersed by a powerful enough attack. A side-effect of Great Forest is that it also enables the user to merge their body with the ground and flora and travel at very high speeds; effectively giving the user the advantage in almost any situation during the heat of battle. Overall, Great Forest is a highly versatile spell, with many powers and abilities that the user can extend at their disposal.
 * Plant Manifest (, Puranto Manifesuto lit. Secret Seed High Speed Bloomer): Plant Manifest is a core Green Magic spell; it can be likened to Plant Magic (植物の魔法, Shokubutsu no Mahō) in that it enables the user to create and manipulate plants of different variety; though, as Green Magic is oftentimes stated to be the 'original' nature-based magic, one can assume that Plant Magic was derived from it and watered down to the point of being unrecognizable. In any case, when performing Plant Manifest, the user slams their palm into the ground, activating the Green Magic while gathering magical energy and shaping that mass of supernatural energy into the form of a glyph of magical energy which shines magnificently while she envisions a proper plant; at which point, the user is capable of manifesting said plant from this glyph of magical energy by instilling their magical power into the surface below by merging the secret seeds (秘種, Hidane) that they can form through the magic with the ground and their magical power, allowing them to instantly grow any number of plants which have countless effects, all according to their wills. The plants formed have enhanced abilities that can be used in various ways during combat, including offensive and support roles. As plants are a main element in this spell, the caster can summon anything, from vegetables to large carnivorous creatures and can even utilize it as a shield to protect themselves from an assault. Additionally, each seed can summon multiple plants within a matter of seconds; and in certain cases, a user can grow a variety of plants from a single seed, using their magical power to get the desired result. While Plant Manifest focuses on plants of magical energy, animals and the like can also be formed; the caster can also manifest full humanoid beings; the user more often than not utilizes the creations made manifest by Plant Manifest in order to assist themselves in battle, be used as diversions from all sorts of incoming blows, and last, but not least, as a means of transportation to reach heights that would normally be considered impossible or to evade an enemy's onslaught. Plant Manifest is said to be more quickly utilized than other forms of magical being manifestation; though they generally cost more magical power to maintain due to Plant Manifest summoning beings which more often than not requiring Hibiki to direct and command them; though after a while, these magical guardians are capable of displaying free will and thought, making all sorts of movements on their own judgments based on the current situation, allowing them to take appropriate action in many cases. With Plant Manifest and a good memory, with enough focus, Hibiki has the ability to summon avatars of the foes that they've defeated in a more animalistic and plantlike form, the stronger they are the better.

Spells

 * Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu (, Kachō Fūgetsu lit. The Beauties of Nature: Bamboo Sword): Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu is the name of a basic Green Magic spell that enables Hibiki to form a sword primarily composed of wood to use in close-range combat if Kabutomaru and Kuwagamaru are not readily available or if she is holding back against a weak opponent. When manifesting Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu, Hibiki surges her magical energy outwards, placing ambient eternano which is saturated within the atmosphere under her thrall before utilizing nothing but mental commands in order to focus the masses of magical energy which had just formed, shooting it into the earth before the vast quantities of supernatural energies expand exponentially, seeping through the cracks in the ground while washing over the surface, granting Hibiki the ability to manipulate the soil and anything related to it in any way without the need for direct contact. From here, Hibiki uses her imagination in order to mold the nature created into the form of a Wooden Sword (木剣/木刀, Bokken/Bokutō); a weapon that is normally used for training; the "Takemitsu" model of wooden sword brought into existence resembles a katana and is as long as Hibiki is tall, being decorated with mother-of-pearl work and elaborate carvings, making it appear like a fine work of art. Despite seemingly not possessing a cutting edge due to its construction being hewn from wood and used for training in most cases, Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu is highly sharp and durable, capable of slicing through magical barriers, and its slashes are capable of tearing up the earth, releasing small pebbles and the like which can damage the opponent. Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu is so deadly precisely because it's capable of being utilized in countless ways- it's almost mesmerizing that somebody can get so much mileage out of a simple sword of wood. If Hibiki invokes the chant Goryōnaku (五稜郭, Five-sided Fortification), Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu can take the form of any type of sword formed from wood such as a regular sword; and she can alter its properties to transform it into another version, such as a rapier or katana. While being swung, Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu glows a vibrant green in colouration; brimming with magical energy as it vibrates at high-frequency, enhancing the reach and cutting ability of the blade, it leaves behind a light green trail of energy where it slashes the opponent. Within the emerald hue of the blade, Hibiki is able to conceal seeds of different plants with such stealth that the opponent doesn't realize it until it has already happened. The moment that the weapon makes contact with the foe via impaling them, the composition of the weapon is altered to cause additional, smaller blades of wood to protrude from the blade inside of the foe's body, drastically increasing the number of wounds dealt to the foe. The weapon itself can endure even the strongest of attacks, making it quite effective in blocking and deflecting incoming attacks; and it can withstand getting crushed by force. The armament is strong and sharp enough to cut clean through pure metal weapons as well; the power of Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu is capable of inflicting a deep cut into the opponent's body, even if they had erected a magical defense beforehand, severely damaging them- it can defeat an Etherious compared to a Guild Ace in power in a single strike.
 * Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu (, Ekusutenshon: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu lit. Additional Attack: Bamboo Sword – Leaf Severing Thrust): Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu is, well, a variant of Kachō Fūgetsu which involves Hibiki physically launching the wooden sword created through her Green Magic at high speeds towards her opponent. When performing Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu, Hibiki uses Kachō Fūgetsu to create a sword made of wood for melee combat; but instead of being harnessed for close-range battle, it is capable of simply being thrown, with Hibiki launching the weapon like a high-speed projectile at the opponent, impaling them if it makes contact- the Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu spell is launched forward in a similar manner to that of a rocket; these swords of wood aim to impale the opponent with incredible speed and force. Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu, when in motion, is able to cancel any type of other nature-element attack while continuing to hit the opponent; it always contains the properties of targeting and propulsion, always condensing the magical particles that compose it, before spreading them out to the tip, coating the outer surface of the swords, enhancing its penetrative qualities. Upon contact with the foe, the Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu releases all of the nature and magical particles that compose it—the foe's own magical pressure serves to contain and amplify the destructive power of the blade of wood, piercing through anything in its path. If it, by any chance, misses, the Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu pierces the enemy's shadow and transforming the energies into those of the nature of Green Magic themselves, giving Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu a "stopping" effect which pins the opponent down by turning the wooden blade into a pivot which has caught their shadow, rendering the opponent unable to move as the shadow cannot separate from the body, and in such a case only the user can remove the enemy from their bindings- it is "stitching" the opponent to the ground through Green Magic. It should be taken into consideration that in mid-flight, the blades veer off wildly in different directions, homing in on different targets in order to attempt to take out multiple opponents at once —these lock on to the target, tracking their heat signature; it is a spell that is effective for quick, widespread, and massive amounts of damage. This attack has several other versions, such as a midair version, and a variant that shoots a trio of wooden blades at once. Something native to this spell is that even when the user is not holding the weapon, it will not vanish- multiple swords launched can be directed telekinetically. Even so, the user has a limit to how much Extension: Takemitsu – Yōdantotsu shots that they can use; even if the user runs out of magical power, they can still fire a single shot; however, it loses its rapid-fire capability and it will not fire up or downwards as it did when they had magical energy, instead it will fire only straight across.
 * Second Extension: Takemitsu – Renyōdan (, Sekando Ekusutenshon: Takemitsu – Renyōdan lit. Additional Attack Number Two: Bamboo Sword – Chained Leaf Severing): Yet another extension of Kachō Fūgetsu: Takemitsu, Second Extension: Takemitsu – Renyōdan involves Hibiki thrusting her current Takemitsu sword into the ground, breaking through the earth and thus generating enormous wooden stalagmites from the ground in a rapid fashion to attack the opponent. When performing Second Extension: Takemitsu – Renyōdan, Hibiki uses Kachō Fūgetsu to create a sword made of wood for melee combat; but instead of going about slashing and striking at the opponent like she always does, Hibiki swirls the blade around, grasping it in a reverse grip before she slams the wooden weapon into the ground while infusing her magical energies into the sword; as the wooden sword penetrates the earth, her magical energies surge outwards and through the ground, sifting through various rock formations and who-knows-what while causing the surface below Hibiki and the opponent to shake intensely, before setting itself up for Takemitsu – Renyōdan to unleash its full might. With a single command, Hibiki causes several bamboo shoots to erupt from the barren earth- the form of the pillars which shoot from the ground are refined and excessively sharp; while they can take upon the visage of cylindrical pillars, generally Second Extension: Takemitsu – Renyōdan results in bamboo protrusions from the ground that resemble, well, stalagmites, which are an upward-growing mound of mineral deposits that resemble spikes. As per being oriented towards offensive measures, the Second Extension: Takemitsu – Renyōdan pillars are known to possess immense slashing power if used in such a manner, and can pierce all sorts of defenses, whether they are natural or supernatural in nature, ranging from Magic to Curse-derived. Generally, Hibiki harnesses Second Extension: Takemitsu – Renyōdan by launching it towards her enemies- by simply thrusting her bamboo sword into the ground, she releases two pulses of magical energy from the weapon, resulting in fissures erupting from the earth, travelling in the direction of her opponent- while in motion, the fissures generated cause the earth to shake violently with a force akin to a minor tremor that ends with absurdly sharp pillars of bamboo erupting in a continuous row while they rush towards their opponent like a multitude of sharks submerged within the earth, leaving only their fins visible, chasing the enemy until certain doom is met. These numerous pillars of bamboo can immobilize and pierce her opponents- she can split them into their constitutive elements, which she can freely move in midair and employ for offensive purposes.
 * Kimon Tonkō (, Kimon Tonkō lit. Demonic Gate, Hidden Shell): Kimon Tonkō is the name of a powerful Green Magic spell that is defensive in nature – it enables Hibiki to manifest a gigantic gate before herself that serves the purpose of an unbreakable barrier. When activating Kimon Tonkō, Hibiki surges her magical energy outwards, placing ambient eternano which is saturated within the atmosphere under her thrall before utilizing nothing but mental commands in order to focus the masses of magical energy which had just formed, shooting it into the earth before the vast quantities of supernatural energies expand exponentially, seeping through the cracks in the ground while washing over the surface, granting Hibiki the ability to manipulate the soil and anything related to it in any way without the need for direct contact. From here, Hibiki focuses her thoughts, causing her mental commands to synchronize with the earth itself, drawing countless aspects of nature towards her body and then shaping these physical existences alongside her magical energy into the exact visage of a gigantic gate in front of Hibiki's figure – this gate is rectangular in shape, and the markings which are engraved upon its very being are carved to resemble that of a vicious demon that possesses blood-red eyes and horns alongside jaws that display more teeth than is necessary – to enter such a gate would be to enter a portal to hell itself. But in any case, once the split-second activation sequence has been completed, the Kimon Tonkō displays its true worth as a "defense beyond defense", completely negating any and every attack that is thrown Hibiki's way, defending her as an absolute shield, preventing the enemy from searching Hibiki out or attacking her with any and every form of physical or supernatural-based attack no matter the scope; the Kimon Tonkō is a shield of "absolute resistance and impenetrability", a trait which enables Hibiki to shrug anything off by rending any forces behind an opponent's action null and void, negating them completely as incoming projectiles of all sorts that hit the gate will deal no damage and simply push Hibiki back, dependent on how much damage and knockback it would ordinarily do; this is possible via its triad of wafer-thin layers that compose its existence which each possess their own ability – the first and outer layer possesses traces of Slowing Magic within its eternano composition, allowing Kimon Tonkō to slow down anything that came into contact with the gate, even if only touching it lightly; this is often mistaken as Time Magic; as everything that comes into contact with the gate will instantly be deflated in terms of speed and kinetic energy, leaving the opponent and their magic helpless most of the time. The second layer quickly breaks down the eternano particles composing the opposing spell, enabling it to harmlessly bounce off of Hibiki with no harm done—the substance attacking Hibiki will be reduced down to the eternano that composes the spell, while attacks that are fueled by pure force are reduced to nearly nothingness—something which rendered them null and void. It is interesting to note that almost anything within the range of the second layer can be reduced to nothingness, albeit stronger opposing forces were only slowed down; making the second layer similar to Nullification Magic. Lastly, the final layer serves as a penultimate defense—it is rare that an offense would breach the both the first and second defenses. This layer functions similar to Wave, as it causes the attack to touch the third layer to become distorted and be reflected, causing almost everything to bounce off of the third layer and be returned to sender, regardless of how powerful the attack is in the first place. Interestingly, rather than traditional barriers and despite its wooden composition, the Kimon Tonkō behaves more like membranes and as such, the gigantic demonic gate twists and tears when anything impacts upon it before the opposing attack slides off harmlessly like raindrops. Due to the membrane-like composition, anything that touches it will be slowed down to a crawl and it takes an extended period of time for it to break through, whether it be a weapon, the foe's body, or even opposing spells. Every single eternano particle that makes up the Boundary barrier vibrates magnificently at nearly ten million times a millisecond, meaning that even a High-Frequency Blade is said to be incapable of tearing through it as everything and anything that is thrown Hibiki's way with the intent of harming her is completely intercepted – however, since attacks must make contact with the gate to be blocked, Hibiki may still be struck in the back, head, or feet.
