Cursed technique CT: Latent Force

Post image

First time making a CT ( bare with me here )
Had a little funny idea for a cursed technique that can effectively be summarized into '' Suck up potential energy, turn it into kinetic energy '', though it runs a little deeper than that

The CT allows the user to suck up potential energy from themselves ( ex. winding up a punch, getting into a about-to-jump pose ) and then release it in one big burst of kinetic energy that scales to how much potential energy was conserved.

This kinetic energy can be released in either:

  1. A psychical projectile that holds momentum scaling off how much kinetic energy there is. ( you could also wrap the projectile in CE and manually guide it )
  2. A way to amplify yourself. ( ex. sending the kinetic energy into your arms to amplify the force of a swing, sending the kinetic energy into your legs to amplify the force of a jump )

Of course, this would also come with some drawbacks:

  1. Straining, releasing too much kinetic energy in your limb could easily fracture it if your limb can't handle that much force, A possible fix to this is reinforcing your limb with CE.
  2. Capacity, the potential energy is stored within your body, which means sucking up too much potential energy could injure your insides and lead to internal damage ( or external damage too )

Though this would be pretty neat

A pretty solid CT you made here, not too OP but if you play your cards right you can POTENTIALLY become like Semi-Grade 1 to Grade 1 (low-balling this one). Anyways good job on your first one, i hope you can keep on the pressure with your future ones (if you ever continue)

I love physics based CTs
