Erasmus Mei - Progress [TRANSCENDENTAL]

The Sight was given to Erasmus by his adopted daughters, twins Tenko and Kirishi. It's initial purpose was a method of sharing information and long distance communication. Ever since receiving it however, Erasmus has slowly warped it into a tool of a more sinister design and it's purpose now is to steal knowledge from the unwitting and force horrible memories upon his victims. Since becoming proficient in it's use Erasmus has discovered that he has a particular talent that involves editing memories together, similar to the work of a graphic design artist or video editor, and creating illusions that wrap a thin film of lies over the senses of his chosen target. These fabrications are constructed of all of the memories within Erasmus, as well as those he has taken from others, memories cannot be crafted from the ground up and must be stitched together from existing memories.

While there is no physical indication of the Sight in use the concentration of reishi around the eyes of Erasmus and the victim act as a spiritual calling card, the intensity of this reishi being a further indication of how concentrated Erasmus is in his efforts to extract or insert knowledge.

Beginner: The initial purpose of mutual information sharing and long distance communication is achieved through eye contact.

Novice: Information sharing through memory transference is no longer consensual but is still clearly perceivable by the victim and can be dispelled by simply breaking eye contact.

Journeyman: Knowledge received through memory transference can be taken or given and does not require the transaction of equal information.

Expert: In light of the ability to give without taking the ability to fabricate memories and the knowledge within them is achieved.

Master: Eye contact is no longer required for the Sight to work, it's range extends 360 degrees as far as the eye can see provided obstacles are not impeding vision.

As an Arrancar this ability was born from the desire to control and since that desire has persisted so too has this power, carried with Erasmus through the process of becoming Obsession. Any and all vibrations are Erasmus' to command, from their intensity to their location and as Erasmus grows proficient in the manipulation of this natural force his range of influence and the finesse of his control also increases. The more complex the motions of his vibrations are the more concentration is required to keep them under his command. As such there is no outward indication of Erasmus having instituted a simple explosion, but in order for him to focus all of the power of his vibrations unto a single minute point without losing control he often uses his own body to visualize his authority; sweeping gestures for the travel of vibration or precise hand movements for more delicate work. 

Beginner: Control is limited, mostly impossible, and the use of this power is a calculated risk as the results can be unpredictable, often resulting in the harm of the user or unintended recipients, the whole body is required for even the smallest of applications. 

Novice: Improved control, the location and magnitude of vibrations may be altered, but anything other than explosive results is still difficult. Large sweeping arm movements and lack of mobility is required to remain in control. 

Journeyman: Further control is attained, the ebb and flow of vibrations may be altered without losing power of them and causing explosions. Minute applications are now available, I.E generating heat. 

Expert: Precise control is attained, allowing the manipulation of sound waves for the purpose of carrying noises and speech. 

Master: Near Pin-point accuracy. Stimulation of biological weak points able to turn the tide in battle, things akin to upsetting the inner ear to knock an opponent off balance. 

Combining his control of vibrations with his Hierro Erasmus has developed a heinous trap for any would be attackers. Anything that touches his skin will be assaulted by a deadly shock wave that bursts forth from the vibrations caused in the split second that impact occurs. These shock waves exist to push against the force of whatever it is trying to harm Erasmus, weakening and sometimes negating, the effectiveness of the attack. At their most powerful however, these shock waves are so potent that, should an enemy be within melee range, they will cause some damage of their own.

Beginner: Controlling the shock waves is impossible, even the slightest touch will trigger them in their full force, knocking back whoever came into contact.

Novice: Some semblance of control is gained and the effectiveness of the shock waves can now be mitigated. Additionally the shock waves are now strong enough to cause harm, rather than push away, the opponent.

Journeyman: Full control. Some amount of concentration is required for the shock waves to be triggered at the correct moment.

Expert: The skill becomes passive, with no effort on the users part, able to autonomously detect friend from foe.

Master: Attacks that successfully manage to pierce the users Hierro will trigger an additional shock wave.

Unsatisfied with how shortsighted he was even with the ability to sense reiatsu on his side Erasmus sought to expand his horizon using his vibrations, this gives him an acute awareness of the physical as well as the spiritual. From the inaudible movements of your throat when you think to an explosion leagues and leagues away Erasmus can hear and feel even the slightest shift of vibrations, amplifying and carrying the sound waves to and from his body to send and receive messages, listen to conversations, and follow the faint sounds of sneaky activity. Additionally these vibrations allow him to pin-point the location of objects and individuals within just a few seconds of their last position.

Beginner: Able to hear conversations and be aware of motion just at the edge of earshot, functioning similarly to the sonar of a bat. Objects and sounds bleed into each other and gaining a clear understanding of the surroundings is difficult.

Novice: Gain the ability to plot the outlines of objects and beings in the surrounding area using vibrations allowing the user to see things that may not be perceivable through regular vision. While objects and sounds are now distinguishable anything beyond the volume of the sound is still unclear, rendering speech nearly impossible to make out.

Journeyman: Vibrations can now be carried further allowing the user to see and hear movement and sounds from further away with their sonar, these vibrations are noticeable by other parties. Additionally, speech is distinguishable from regular noise but will remain muffled and unintelligible unless focused on.

Expert: The unconscious output of vibrations allows a constant clear image of the surrounding area, these vibrations are imperceptible by anything short of reiatsu perception. Speech is equally clear rendering any and all conversations in range listenable.

Master: Acute vibration detection allows for the ability to perceive the motion of internal organs and fluids resulting in basic emotional information and the insight needed to strike weak points in the body of opponents.
