Description
Astral Shinigami Auxiliary Magic is a Caster Magic, Lost Magic, and Shinigami Auxiliary Magic that revolves around souls. Izanagi gained the ability to use this magic a long time ago when a sword instantly fused with his entire being after being drawn from a stone inside a sacred forest. After being drawn, Izanagi gained the ability to draw in and absorb the lost souls of mages who used soul-based magic during life.

The sword also gave him absolute immunity to any soul-based magic or abilities as well the ability to consume spiritual substances in order to restore his body to a healthier state. The souls that are passively drawn in are either stored into the shinigami weapon, which is located in his Magic Origin, for later use. Unlike other forms of Shinigami Auxiliary Magic, the souls can be used in various ways such as: transforming into astral energy, drawing runes in the air that can have various spiritual results, opening a gate to the Astral Realm, or other soul related effects. Izanagi has shown that he has shown godlike control over these substances. He has so much control that he can negate over soul-based magic and abilities with a flick of his wrist or open a portal to the Astral Realm with a snap of his fingers. This control over these substances give Izanagi the physiology of an astral shinigami. As such, these substances are very effective against the undead and on souls who are unable to move on. The last ability as a user of a form Shinigami Auxiliary Magic is the ability to manifest his shinigami weapon from his body. When this happens his normal abilities is exchanged for the ability to create and manipulate astral power: the greatly superior form of astral energy.

While Astral Shinigami Auxiliary Magic is powerful, its power isn't what it is known for. Instead, it is known for its versatility. Izanami claims that he is so versatile that there is not a single fighter in existence that he doesn't at least have a chance against.

Basic Spells

 * Soul Command: Soul Command is a supplementary spell as well as Astral Shinigami Auxiliary Magic's most basic spell. It allows Izanagi to make one order at a time that is very hard to resist. This is done by speaking the target's real name then speaking the order. The order can be almost anything that cannot kill them or greatly effect their physiology or magic. How hard it is to resist the order relies on four variables: the target's willpower, how strong the target's soul is compared to Izanagi's, if they know what is going on, and if they are expecting the order that is given. In general, due to Izanagi's incredible power, very few people can completely resist his orders.
 * Soul Contract: Soul Contract is a form of contract that Izanagi can form with someone by tattooing the kanji form of his name with his astral energy. This astral energy serves as the catalyst for the contract by infusing a tiny bit of the astral energy into the target's Magic Origin. As a result, target is able to use Izanagi's magic in a significantly weaker form that is simply known as: Astral Magic, or like Izanami, their magic becomes more "spiritual" and therefore a bit stronger. In exchange, Izanagi is able to summon the target to his hand whenever he wants no matter where he is by simply calling their name. However, this isn't a normal summons since calling their name causes them to transform into a weapon that best represents their soul as they travel to his hand. While in that form, the contractee gains special attributes that represent their personality, such as basic water manipulation if they are easy-going. Izanagi is able to use these attributes through the weapon. When Izanagi and a contractee get to know each other enough, they are able to use a technique known as Spirit Resonance. This allows them to temporarily resonate their souls in order to unleash a very powerful attack. Sometimes, but not always, the Spirit Resonance can transform the contractee in their weapon form into a stronger state for a brief moment.
 * Izanami Mikoto:
 * Suiren Nakano: Its_not_killed_unless_its_overkill.gif Suiren can transform into a pair of gauntlets. When they are worn, they amplify Izanagi's strength significantly. In addition to being a great weapon for close range combat, it can also fire small yet powerful bolts of heated astral energy.
 * Spirit Resonance: Soul Cannon:
 * Tsukihito: After the first century of ruling over the Astral Realm, Izanagi decided he needed a change of pace. So, he left the Astral Realm and left Izanami in charge and stayed in Earth Land for two years. During that time he met three Yōkai hybrids that were siblings. Their names are Tsukihito, Ōhirume, and Susanoo. It wasn't long after meeting them that Izanagi formed contracts with them. Tsukihito's weapon form is a kunai with a drawing of the moon on the guard. While in this form he is able to draw in the light of the moon and convert it into magic power that Izanagi is able to use as he wishes. In addition, the blade of his kunai form is extremely sharp. It is capable of slicing through as if it is nothing. Just like the two other siblings, Izanagi rarely calls Tsukihito's name for unknown reasons.
 * Ōhirume:
 * Susanoo:
 * Daisuke:
 * Spirit Activation Method: Spirit Activation Method also known as Spiritual Release, is a supplementary spell that Izanagi can use to energize his own soul or the soul of an ally. To perform, he channels astral energy to his index and middle finger of one of his hands. The astral energy is then compressed around the fingers to its utmost limit before he touches the target with his fingers. Once making contact with the target, he channels the astral energy to their soul: energizing the soul. This causes the soul to begin to produce magic or curse power at a faster rate, increasing the target's physical abilities and reserves of magic or curse power. This enhancement doesn't last long, only for fifteen minutes. When it does go away, the target will be left in an extremely exhausted state. Due to this drawback, Izanagi can uses this jinx offensively against a target if he is able to last fifteen minutes against her foe while they are in this state.
 * Astral Shinigami's Cry:
 * Astral Shinigami's Cold Touch: Izanagi covers his hands in ectoplasm, a cold ghost-like substance, before compressing to its utmost limit. Once compressed Izanagi can either release it in a blast or try to punch the opponent with the fist that is surrounded by ectoplasm. The feeling of death and cold together causes the body to undergo temporary rigor mortis when the target comes in contact with ectoplasm even though the target is still alive. This causes the muscles in opponent's body to stiffen, making it very difficult to move.

 * Astral Shinigami's Death Warrant: Izanagi pictures his target in his head as he uses astral energy to form the kanji for "search" in the air. Once the kanji is full formed, it glows brightly as a swarm of ghosts fly out from the kanji from the Astral Realm. These ghosts will hunt relentlessly hunt for their target, no matter where they go. The ghosts are so persistent that they once searched for a Yōkai for 800 years, at which point the Yōkai gave up because of the stress that comes with always trying to run away.
 * Astral Shinigami's Phantom Knight: Izanagi draws the kanji for "knight" in the air with his astral energy. Once the kanji is full formed he pours an ounce of his magic power into the rune before using it to summon a ghost of a deceased knight. The magic power that was poured into the rune gives the ghost a more physical form. The ghost knight is usually equip with armor and a sword. Normally the knight's physical prowess is just above-average, but creating the kanji for speed, strength, etc. next to the kanji for kanji for "knight," Izanagi is able to summon a ghostly knight the desire physical trait on a remarkable level. It Izanagi can even summon ghostly knights that has a certain physical trait that is superior to his own. This proves that ghostly knight is completely separate from Izanagi. On useful attribute is how the ghostly knights seem to work well with the ghosts that are summoned with the Astral Shinigami's Death Warrant spell.
 * Astral Shinigami's Haunting: Izanagi extends one hand out in front him fires astral energy that has been molded into the shape of several ghosts from his hand. When a ghost makes contact with the user it sticks to the target and drains them of their magic power to sustain themselves. On a whim, Izanagi can cause the ghosts ghosts to explode. The power and size of the explosion depends on how much they have absorbed, but in general it is usually strong enough to obliterate a house as the explosion is made up of both magic power and astral energy.
 * Astral Shinigami's Awakening: Izanagi crosses his arms in front of his chest and builds up astral energy within his body. The amount of astral energy that is built up is enough to cause the ground beneath his feet to crack and give in from the pressure alone. After building up astral energy in his body, he expels it from his body by quickly extending his arms to either side of his body. The expelled astral energy takes the form of a giant and powerful explosion that is capable of easily wiping out a large town. The power of the explosion isn't the only thing to fear as the sudden presence of astral energy creates an imbalance. This imbalance can create storms whose power will vary depending on how much astral energy was used.
 * Astral Shinigami's Soul Mutilation:

Death Bringer-Fist
Death Bringer-Fist is a fighting style that Izanagi invented after studying various martial arts. What makes this martial different is the strikes. Izanagi uses the psychic powers he possesses as a master of Astral Shinigami Auxiliary Magic to cause the body he struck to stiffen as if it is undergoing rigor mortis, making it very difficult for the opponent to move that body part. If the opponent is not careful, he can even stiffen vital organs, causing potentially lethal effects. The movements and focus of this fighting is very similar to Jeet Kune Do. As such, this fighting style focuses on striking with extreme swiftness when the foe is on the verge of attacking. This allows Izanagi to have the maximum effect with the least amount of moment. Izanagi uses different kinds of methods of attack depending on the situation. These methods can range from kicks, to punches, to traps, to grapples. In addition, these methods can be flowed smoothly together, making it difficult to deal with. The footwork and movements that make this fighting style whole are often describes as unrealistic, as if he is defying physics. One foe said that the movements were so swift and fluid that it looked as if Izanagi was swimming through land.
