Name: The Hope
Rank: B
Type: Magical Scythe, Re-equip
Description: A property of Zenshin's peculiar scythe is that it can do something close to... 'transform', so to speak. While he uses it, the scythe takes his from his mana, slowly, not to completely drain him while he uses it. Over time, the small, crescent moon decoration at the top of 'The Reaper' goes from a dim blue to a bright aqua once it's completely 'full', which takes some time since the weapon draws slowly from his power. To finally get 'full' with his magic power takes two posts of the scythe in his hands. Example: The post he casts 'The Reaper' it counts as one and he would be able to transform it at the end of the second post. Once it has reached its limit, 'The Reaper' won't draw any more power from Zenshin, and will either continue to have a bright decoration, or wait to be transformed. After it cannot store any more of his power, Zen is able to transform the scythe, making it glow a bright white for a few seconds while the blade grows in size significantly. Not only does it grow about a foot and a half in length, on both sides, it gets a bit taller and heavier as well. The "transformation" doubles the power of the weapon and makes it much more efficient to wield double handedly, since, even though it is much lighter because it's made from his power, it's still heavy enough to warrant that he not use the huge scythe with one hand. Other than that, the weapon weapon looks aesthetically pleasing to him, obviously, consisting of the blade turning into a glowing, crescent moon on its side. Even though this weapon is basically an 'upgraded' version of the previous scythe and full of magic power, it still has the potential to grow into something even more powerful, the "storage" center of the scythe being the eye-like carving around the center of the blade.

Name of Technique: Rift
Rank: B
Type: Scythe Technique
Description: Once at least a post has gone by since transforming his previous scythe into 'The Hope', Zenshin is able to raise the scythe up to his right side, and swing it quickly in a clock-wise, circular motion, causing the weapon to glow bright aqua and send a powerful, vertical wave of mana at the enemy. Alternatively, he can extend his arms so he holds his weapon horizontally and swings quickly around in a circle, spinning his body with it, and on his way back around to his original position, the weapon releases a horizontal wave of mana. Doing either of these increases the amount of time the weapon needs to be able to transform by a post. The wave itself will travel at 1 ft/s for 5 meters unless it collides with another spell. Furthermore, if it cuts through a defensive or offensive spell, it will continue forward and only stop until it hits a second spell, hits the target, or misses the target.
Strengths:
- Very unique effect ; reduces the rank of whatever defensive spell stands in its way by one rank [only effects one defensive spell ; if it cuts through and hits another, that other is not affected. Also, this does NOT affect directly offensive spells]
- Able to dispel any offensive spell that collides with it if it is of equal or lower rank [if equal rank, the technique is also destroyed]
- Can be used in mid-air and be aimed at varying angles that lie on a y-axis
Weaknesses:
- Increases the amount of time the weapon needs to be able to transform by a post
- Linear spell ; easily dodged if used at max range
- Won't damage anything that it can't cut through [if it is used against an S-Rank spell, it will immediately be dispelled, it would be as if it was never used]
