Furyoku

Furyoku (巫力, "Shamanic Power") is the supernatural energy aligned with spiritual sensitivity that is a product of the user's willpower. It is mainly used by Shamans to power their mystical techniques.

Description
Every living being is given a small degree of Furyoku from the Great Spirits prior to their birth. This energy is returned when they die and is used to continue the cycle of life on planet earth.

If the amount of Furyoku in an individual is higher than a certain degree, it grants the person superhuman abilities. Those with such an above-average level of Furyoku are very rare among living Humans. The most basic ability that Humans with a higher level of Furyoku have is the ability to see ghosts

Furyoku is essential to performing even the most basic techniques of Shamanism. The disciplines of connecting with one's own Furyoku began with the Fushu religion. During the First Great Spirit War, Fujutsu was invented to utilize Furyoku for the purposes of fighting off evil spirits.

Properties
Spiritual Awareness: Humans with heightened spiritual awareness have a sixth sense that alerts them to danger as well as the presence of Furyoku or Yoki. Those with strong spiritual awareness gain clairvoyant abilities and often excel at divination.

Spirtual Strength: When applied to the user's own physical body, the raw power gained from Furyoku depends on the user's spiritual strength. This applies to both offensive and defensive applications of Fujutsu. Someone attacking with higher spiritual strength will always overcome a defense created with weaker Fujutsu

Spiritual Capacity: Furyoku is not limitless and Shaman's must train to increase their inherent spiritual capacity levels. Overusing one's Furyoku not only drains their stamina and leaves them vulnerable, but it can have devastating drawbacks on the body as well.

Usage

 * Main Article: Fujutsu

Although Furyoku is pure raw energy, firing it off as a projectile is only efficient for inflicting blunt force trauma. By projecting one's Furyoku to carry out a certain function, a Shaman can use unique paranormal abilities known colloquially as Fujutsu.
