Ketsutaken Overview and Info
Ketsutaken (commonly shortened to Ketsu) is an ability possessed by select humans, and humans only. In a person with an exceptionally strong spirit, a mysterious overflow of energy is produced. This energy must be expelled at least once every 42 hours, else it can become backed up and cause physical harm to its user. In the inverse, if too much energy is used in too short a time, the person’s soul can be completely drained, leading to coma or death.
There are infinite classifications of Ketsutaken, each depending on the personality of its bearer. Those with brave, strong mind will often have powers related to fire, while those who are calm and collected will have wind or water-based abilities. Of course, this is only a general note, and is not always true. Ketsutaken also is not limited to just the natural elements (water, fire, earth, air), but can extend to special classifications such as ‘ghost’. Not all variations of the power can be used for offense, such as ‘glow’, which is a strictly healing and defensive-minded ability.
