Shikaku

Shikaku (死角, Blind Spot) is a Caster Magic and Occular Magic that manipulates the eyes of the caster's foes in order to render the caster virtually invisible by enlarging the blindspot of their foes to encompass them from all angles, creating the illusion of invisibility.

Overview
By manipulating the optic disc, the part of the retina where the optic nerve is connected, users are capable of expanding the blind spot created by the spacing of our eyes and the gap within the transfer of information between the optic nerve and optic disc, users of Shikaku are capable of expanding the blindspot of anyone within their limited radius (determined by the strength and skill of the caster). The brain naturally fills in the blind spot created by the user with an interpolation – inserting the image of what was behind the caster, making them practically invisible.

However, unlike Cloaking Magic, and other forms of invisibility-inducing magics, this simply is an illusion, users of this magic can still be seen by objects like cameras and mirrors as there is no blind spot to trick. Additionally, they can be sensed by other means such as their magical signature, smell, the sound they make, etc. The most well-known user of this magic is the Guild Master of Spring Lotus, Hazuma Inoue.
