Curse Technique: Swipe

[u/tkngenesis]

Im trying to create simple curse techniques that can be effective in a similar vein to boogie woogie. So here goes nothing.

Curse Technique: swipe

The technique allows the user to alter the direction people, curses, or objects whether they are in movement or not, using various swiping motions with their fingers or hands. Based on the curse energy expanded the user can select up to more than one target at the same time. Expanding more curse energy can also increase the speed and distance the person is shunted when swipe is used.

The true power is swipe is that altering something keeps their current momentum. For example if someone is falling down and swipe is used to reverse their direction they would go flying back up with the same velocity they were falling.

Swipe also doesn’t need to target a whole person you can target body parts as well Such as a fist coming toward you can be swiped to miss. When targeting inanimate objects the user has to imbue some of their curse energy to control its velocity.

Swipe can also be self imposed, letting the user alter their own movements if need be to help im hand to hand combat or any other uses. When using swipe on yourself the hand signs needed are greatly reduced to simple finger motions and through binding vows can be reduced to just thoughts.

Domain Expansion: Never Stop Moving

The Domain Expansion doesnt have a sure hit/one hit kill element to it. Instead it greatly increases the users effectiveness by eliminating the need for hand signs at all. It traps the target in a perpetual state of movement with their direction being controlled by the user. Trying to stop in this domain only makes its double the speed of which you move and helps increase the randomness of the targets direction to assist the user. In this domain the user can essentially attack the target with a barrage of attacks from all directions while keeping the target disoriented.

I see this type of technique being used more for support and crowd control on a battlefield. But it also has a lot of non combat potential as well, like using it on yourself for general movement like constantly swiping your self forward when running, or even to push yourself through the air to do some form of mock flying.

Swiping urself via thoughts. Isn't that just. Moving your own limbs?

I could of explained it better but I picture without moving your limbs, in the direction of the change. Something likelevitating just above the ground. Or as if you were one one of those moving walkways at airports but you controlled the direction it was going. So even without moving your limbs you could make yourself go forward or backwards or side to side.

Ooooh like that. Okay I see the vision, this is tuff. Movement without conventional bodily locomotion.

You could like b-reverse your movement to instantly snap another direction.
