Custom Skill: ReiKi Manipulation
Is Reishi Manipulation, with the Shinigami attribute to purify rather than destroy souls. Forms by drawing in Reishi from the surrounding area, and infusing it with Kido energy from a Shinigami (thus the name Reiki (REIshiKIdo)). Once formed the energy can be shaped and formed to various levels of intricacy and stability depending on power level. But doesn't have the ability to give access to a Quincy's Racial Powers.
A beginner in this skill has only recently learned how to manifest spirit particles, and will find doing so a difficult and time consuming process. As they advance however, they will quickly grow to find manifesting spiritual energy an effortless process, and something they can do almost instantaneously.
At Journeyman rank, the user will learn how a user of this can create complex items out of spiritual energy-- but they're not refined yet. They are solid, but are still hues of blue spiritual energy.
At Expert rank, they become capable of expanding their souls to handle a much greater level of spiritual particle influx to achieve refining their manipulation to making solid objects. Or even making the Reiki equivalent of Ginto Tubes.
As a user reaches Expert, more intricate things become common. Users may typically learn how to perform Ransō Tengai, a technique that allows the user to move their body using threads of spiritual particles thus significantly expanding their durability and resilience. It can also be used to allow the body to perform greater feats of strength or speed than it might otherwise be capable of.
True experts of the skill are known for their ability to develop and create objects. Nearly all of the famous Quincy tools—such as Sanrei Devices—were created by Quincy who could be considered to have Master or Grandmaster in this skill. Quincy at this level them become the forges of Quincy ‘technology’, making them extremely valuable and dangerous Quincy who have progressed far beyond merely forming rudimentary objects. And much like the Quincy Equivalent can create many things that both users of this and Quincy can use, but are infused with the purification effect to those it kills.
NOTE: This doesn't increase power, or give access to Quincy racial powers. Rather it is simply the manipulation of Reishi, with the added effect that rather than destroying souls, the Shinigami effect on it, purifies those it kills sending them to Soul Society.

As for your custom skill ReiKi Manipulation, I'm going to turn it down.
Mechanically speaking it does nothing. Shinigami can already manipulate reishi and form kido in almost any form they can imagine. Shinigami also can already contruct anything from reishi, the entire Seireitei is standing proof of that.

Ks. Originally I was trying for a reflavored Reishi Manipulation. Since I'm getting training for that. Started from Frey a year ago, and am about to be taught from Erek and Frey more indepth later (just without the Quincy Power and secondary power). Didn't want to show my character using that and people saying I couldn't. Was told just to reflavor the racial skill.
But if I can do that with my Bakudo (will have enough for Expert Bakudo after my next GP claim), and their training. Then I'm golden, right? I can do the Reishi Manip that I'm training in without apping for it?

No. You are not a Quincy.
Shinigami bodies are made out of Reishi; why would you work on a skill that included the ability to consume your own body?
Kido is molded reiryoku. Think of Reishi like the fuel, and reiryoku as the energy. Basically, Reishi is gasoline, reiryoku is the energy released from burning it.

Mostly since my character is training to be inducted into the Quincy Order (and later as an ambassador with Quincy Interest in mind, placed by them). And noone would suspect a Shini for studying a self-destructive skill. Just to pretend to be a Quincy, as a cover (with Frey and Erek's knowledge. IC already. To a degree).
Also: It can consume my body, but since I am Reishi, it can be used to deepen my knowledge and control of Kaido (reforming Reishi by consuming my surroundings, deepen my characters understanding of Reishi, and strengthen Kaido); the control and using the surrounding Reishi is also something that can deepen my knowledge and skill in Bakudo (using atmosphereic Reishi and surrounding Reishi to reinforce, form, or make.).
As well: By being able to make Quincy Artifacts, I can use that knowledge to merge Quincy and Shini technology. Bridging both worlds ... even if it never catches on.
And: So far I managed to do it IC, without disasterous effects (even if it's probably by luck. None of the IC Quincy have seen or witnessed any negative effects to me so far). So it's just something my character kinda fell into, and has an IC passion for.
Edit: Adding on to my Kaido point. By getting to the Puppet technique in skill. That'd definitely be useful IC to study for Kaido Mastery, or even Grand Mastery someday.
Edit 2: I'm not looking for Quincy Power / Secondary Power. Not Artery / Blut. I can probably BS my way through Ginto by using Bakudo and Kaido. But it's just Rei Man that I'm looking for. And even if I can't BS Ginto to a Quincy. I can still hold my Kido in check, till it's time for my '"Unvieling".

Kido and Ginto are functionally the same thing. Or on a more precise note, Kido is better. It has the same diversity but only requires the chant, but Ginto requires tubes.
On that note, you couldnt make the Ginto tubes or ANY kind of Quincy artifact as that requires the Holy Artifact skill. which is Quincy specific and cannot be taught.

NP. I'm not really looking for Ginto (as I said I can BS it, or not use it when I'm around Quincy). But I could still make things for Quincy, as part of the Order. I mean sure I can do that with Kido. But IC, Niji has a passion for the Skill, and has started training it IC. I originally was looking for a reflavor that stripped out all of the Quincy Specific powers.
I mean she is going to train it further, and she is going to be under the guidance of Frey and Erek as she does it. But I'm not interested in Holy Artifact skill or really any other Quincy skill other than Rei Man. And that Niji IC kinda fell into, and has a passion for furthering.

Racial power skills are what define where your inner power comes from. In essence, when you have your anime moment and unleash you power, what is that power? Shinigami have Zanpakuto Resonance because they use their Zanpakuto. Quincy form a Spirit Weapon. Arrancar unseal their Zanpakuto and unleash their Hollow Resonance.
These are racially distinct. They cannot be taught across fundamental boundaries like this, with the except that simply 'spiritual' humans can learn Quincy powers.
You cannot and never will be able to make a Shinigami that has Reishi Manipulation.
