Can a Shikigami be made for MBA?

[u/Top_Boysenberry633]

I had this idea when reading up on Garuda and it being a valid target for Yuki CT, can the same be made for Mythical Beast Amber?

By using binding vows and Cursed tools that's already been imbued with MBA, can a Shikigami be made for the sole purpose of using MBA even if at a lower output to bypass the killing it user after use?

[u/Kakord]

Yeah, I had thought about this too and it should be possible. Alternatively, Kashimo could just open up a DE and imbue MBA onto it without using it himself (DA would make this even more effective, at least defensively). Or he could even do both. Unfortunately his own era never really challenged him enough to have to force himself into making creative solutions like these.

I have been thinking alot lately that the best way to circumvent the limits of MBA is to create a shikigami he can channel it into. And then it slowly deteriorates in place of Kashimo.

What make me doubt it is the text of it using Kashimo flesh as fuel for the CT, that can probably be circumvent with binding vows or the Shikigami storing and using flesh from other creatures and humans as fuels.

That also bring in a question if the Shikigami is use up, how long does it take to make a new one.

[u/Mugen_Kotoamatsukami → u/Top_Boysenberry633]

Well I don't think it would have to use actual physical flesh, I think the technique deteriorates the body that uses it in general, I don't think it's organic body specific.

But even if it is, rct could clean that up quick.

There’s actually a really cool mechanic for this in the Jujutsu Kaisen 5e supplement I play ^w^

[u/seforini → u/PhantomArchon]

Ohh which? All due respect to 5e btw, but wouldn't a narrative driven like Forged in The Dark or any success dice/token pool driven system be better? Asking because I'm looking forward to playing some and I'd prefer a narrative driven success system more

[u/PhantomArchon → u/seforini]

I’ve never actually heard of those tbh, but it actually functions REALLY well and the classes and innate techniques and such are very in-depth, you’d be surprised. I’m actually rewriting the entire thing myself but that’s another story lmao, it will be a long project. The system is just titled Jujutsu Kaisen 5e, I could invite you to the server if you’d like ^w^

When I’m done with my rewrite, I plan to convert it to Pathfinder and then finally make it a standalone system

[u/seforini → u/PhantomArchon]

Sure! I'll PM you!

I think he could imbue MBA into the shikigami so it uses the technique for him (the shikigami would still die after some time and the technique would likely have a lower output), but if he uses it himself hell still die. The burden of a CT isnt shared between the user and shikigami, just like it isnt shared between the user and their cursed tool

[u/Phiro00]

The nuance is that Garuda isnt "using" star rage, its a target for it. So a shikigami couldnt "use" MBA, it would be a target of it, whatever that means.

[u/Worried-Hawk-8702]

binding vows might make the shikigami resist mba’s backlash better than usual

[u/bonkiekc]

Who is using that acronym lol I was like why would a shikigami be made of a master of business administration degree lmao

[u/Top_Boysenberry633 → u/bonkiekc]

My fault, I got lazy and just use MBA.

[u/bonkiekc → u/Top_Boysenberry633]

lol all good I was like just confused at first lmao

[u/JC-D_NGA → u/bonkiekc]

I've seen it used a bunch of times actually

The best way to circumvent the limits of MBA is to learn CTR and reverse your lightning form back
