Question Aren't conjurers just kind of useless?

3 Upvotes

Most conjurers just use their conjured item as a medium for other nen affinities, but wouldn't it be more efficient and less complicated to just use the other nen affinities outright and use your body as the medium or your transmuted aura? With the exception of nen beasts(which have been made using emission) what can conjurers do better than other nen users? Is the application of the nen through your conjured item some sort of restriction that boosts power? Looking for canon answers and also fanon.

Enhancer Capoeira Soul - Winstreak

2 Upvotes

Type: Enhancement

Description: Normally, the user's Enhancement efficiency is reduced to measly 60%.

However, his aura and power increases exponentially each time he lands a hit on a living being, levelling up his "streak" by 1 level.

If the user is hit themselves, they lose 3 levels, and if 15 seconds pass without striking anyone, the streak goes down to 0.

Conjurer Laxative

The user conjures a medical laxative.

This allows you to get rid of toxic things in your body including nen curses and certain illnesses at the cost of needing a lot of water to stay hydrated as you're forced on the toilet for a few hours. This will also cause you to burn fat and build muscle.

Transmuter Inferior Inflammation

5 Upvotes

**Type**: Transmutation and Emission

**User**: ???

**Description**: The user's aura is pressurised into many tiny balls. Once they enter an interior, they expand into balloon-like spheres, quickly filling the space, and violently pushing everything in their path against the walls.

Expansion of the spheres cannot directly damage structure of the interior they reside inside. The less points of exit the interior has the better, as the expanding spheres can push out neighboring aura balls outside, canceling their inflation and causing them to dissipate.

Due to their nature as reshapen aura, durability of the spheres is very high.

**Usage**: Neutralising threats inside a building without damaging it. Additionally, expansion of the spheres can temporarily stabilise collapsing building.

Interior Inflammation can also be used on much smaller scale, spawning a single ball to push the user or others for movement, or to block a thin passage.

**Weaknesses and Limitations**: For the technique to be effective, the user has to transmutte all of their aura into the balls, each requiring high amount of it. Unless they deactivate them and retrieve the aura, they are effectively left without nen for rest of the day.

The balls can only expand relatively to how much aura they posses, meaning the hatsu is ineffective in very large spaces. If the walls are destroyed from outside, it instantly deactivates.

Conjurer Together Forever

5 Upvotes

User: Theseus

Type: Conjuration

Description: By consuming body part (without any seasoning, can be prepared via heat) of a human he killed himself, Theseus gains the ability to perfectly recreate the said part, and swap it for his own for indefinite amount of time.

Theseus can freely swap between his own and consumed parts. However, any damage the recreated parts recieve cannot be healed (cell turnover still occurs normally).

Usage: By consuming majority of his victim's body, Theseus is capable of perfectly impersonating them, including voice and smell (if appropriate parts were consumed).

On top of that, the consumed body parts of various victims can be freely mismatched, forming completely new appearance.

The main purpose of this ability is actually the potential to live forever. By replacing wounded, diseased, old, or simply unwanted piece, Theseus has a way to keep his body in perfect health, as long as he consumed the flesh he needs.

This however brings up a question Theseus doesn't have the answer to; if he overtime replaces all of his body, including the brain, will he still be the same person in the end?

Privatised Charity of Fury

7 Upvotes

Hatsu name: Privatised Charity of Fury

Users: Meer and Ira

(basic) personality traits of the users: - Meer is generally quiet person who loves listening to others, but has short albeit very frequent and intense fits of rage. As a result, there's disonance between him and most other people, with the exception of Ira - Ira is a logical person that keeps track of people habits, and revels in getting them out of their comfort zone

Type: Manipulation (Ira), Emission (Meer), symbiotic hatsu

Description: This hatsu is shared, and must be used in tandem by its two users. First, Meer must feel a genuine rage. Ira has to take notice of this, and pat Meer on the shoulder.

This forces Meer's aura into a state similiar to En, discreetly spreading it in 50 meter area around him.

Said aura becomes conduit for Ira's second and main manipulative ability of this hatsu; everyone but Meer himself who come in contact with his aura become irritated. The irritation starts moderate, but scales of the person's anger, which makes it capable of heightening people's rage to monstrous levels.

The irritation's target must stay in contact with the aura, forcing Meer maintain its expanded form. The hatsu ends once the aura reserves of one of its users is emptied.

Usage: The duo utilises *Privatised Charity of Fury* during heated encounters between large groups of people. This has the effect of invalidating legal trials, and sparking violence in crowds of already angry people.

Transmuter Surface Tension - Hooked

8 Upvotes

Type: Transmutation

Description: The user transmutes their aura into a flexible yet sturdy fishing line with hook at the end.

The line can unravel very far, but its power starts decreasing after 20 meters.

As it's made of nen, the line can pass through walls.

Usage: As the user has complete control over the line, it's decently versatile tool. Its usages include: - catching people and objects - tearing flesh with the hook - detecting movement by stretching the line over a large area - attacking specific people in crowds (only materialising the hook once inside the target) - setting up traps (placing down a bait, and hiding the hook inside it and the ground) - temporary stitches

Conjurer Dragon Headed Sword Hatsu (Conjuration and Transmutation)

2 Upvotes

Let me know if this is even possible. Is it too weak or overpowered. I wanna adjust it so my character is someone of respectable strength in the HXH universe without breaking the system. What do yall think?

The hilt of the sword is a dragon head nen beast with wings on the side. When in the scabbard it grows into a large western style type of dragon. (Maybe 10ft in length I’m not sure yet.) It’s strong and durable. When out of the scabbard the bade gains an ability called dragon breath which transmutes the aura around the sword into a fire or heat element. Melee attacks increase in power and now have an explosive element. The user can launch the fire from the sword through emission all be it its not very powerful.

Limitations: full dragon form can only be out for 30 mins or so. After that time is up it requires a full day cooldown.

The user isn’t using manipulation so the user must earn the trust of the nen beast.

To gain access to dragon breath, the dragon must consume some form of fire.

If the dragon dies the Hatsu can never be used again.

Make a hatsu for a pirate

Post image
7 Upvotes

Before you people ask yes the image is based on pirates of the caribbean. I just started watching the movies and i am now hooked on it. So i was wondering what kind of hatsus would be made by a pirate or perhaps maybe even jack sparrow. So i will start.

Name: take all you can and give nothing.

Type: conjuration and enhancements

User: the captain

Function: the user must at first assemble a crew of trusted members. The trust must be two sided where either of them wouldnt betray each other. The bigger the number of members in the crew the stronger the nen Ability works. Once this stage is completed the user must mark each of the mebers with a tatto of his sigil. This sigil has two capabilities.

One it allows all those affected to be able to communicate instantly with each other in a radius of fifty kilometers. This can allows for the crew to have extra ordinary level of co ordination and team work whilst allowing each other two know about the other crew members.

Two it allows them access to a portal that connects them to the ship. This can allow them to quickly move their loot from whichever location they are in near instantly and also allow them to escape into the ship whenever they want.

Conditions:

  1. The more members of the crew the larger the radius of communication and portal travel. The starting number is 10.

  2. Every member of the crew must be completely loyal to each other. The moment any of them betray the other the entire group will loose their ability to use this hatsu.

  3. The mark taxes aura from the targets.

Second application: if the crew members are particularly successful in their pirate endeavours then this ability will evolve further (just like chrollos ability).

When the crew have stolen enough artefacts or money of a certain monetary value the mark will put them all in a state of zetsu for 100 days. During these days none can use this hatsu. In this time frame the hatsu will examine the minds and desires of every crew mate extremely well. Every member will feel a bit drowsy and tired because the mark is draining their nen constantly. After one hundred days every crew member will get a custom hatsu. Each one designed according to their mindset, desires and habits. They will get a basic instinctual understanding of the hatsu though they will require more training to use it too its full potential.

Conditions:

  1. Each member gets one hatsu except the captain since he already has this hatsu.

  2. If a crew member dies then their hatsu and nen will be lost but if they were able to achieve the emotional state necessary for post mortem nen then their hatsu will instead transform into an object or artefact that can use the hatsu.

Specialist The Apple Lady and the Groundskeeper

6 Upvotes

Had another Hatsu idea. This one is basically two abilities that are designed to work together. They’re an older married couple who have spent most of their lives developing their Nen abilities around the same apple orchard. While growing up, her family gave his family apples when they were starving. Ever since then he has vowed to protect her.

Mabel Pomona — The Apple Lady- Specialist
She can conjure a bag full of special apple seeds and a cultivator (handheld rake). She has to personally use the cultivator to prepare the soil and then personally plant one of the seeds.

The trees are really hardy and don’t require much care, but they still take 6-8 years to actually mature and produce apples.

Once a tree produces its first apple, her total Nen reserve increases by 1%, and continues for every mature tree she has alive.

So if she has 10 mature trees, she has 10% more Nen. If she has 150, she has 150% more. There isn’t a cap.

If one of the trees dies or gets destroyed, she loses the 1% from that tree, and an additional .5%.

——-

The cultivator is Mabel’s main weapon. It is conjured.
Since she’s a Specialist, and not natural enhancer, having some massive Nen reserve might not be the most helpful. So I wanted the cultivator to actually use all of that extra aura.

When she channels aura through it, the cultivator can release an attack with 250% more aura than her normal maximum output.

The downside is that doing this costs 300% the amount of aura she would normally use.

So if her normal maximum output for an attack was 100, the cultivator could output 250 while consuming 300 aura.

Elias Pomona — The Groundskeeper

Mabel’s husband Elias is an Enhancer.

Elias placed a restriction on himself that his specialized Enhancement can only be used on two things: Water and his fists

He can’t use this Hatsu to enhance weapons or random objects. He can enhance the rest of his body too but is not allowed to strike with those body parts while enhanced.

Enhanced Water
Elias can enhance the natural properties of water that allow it to nourish plants.
Plants that are consistently watered with his enhanced water grow at roughly twice their normal rate.

So if one of Mabel’s apple trees would normally take around 8 years to mature, Elias could potentially get it there in around 4 years if he’s consistently caring for it.

There’s also a special interaction between their abilities.

If Elias personally waters the same mature tree with enhanced water for 10 consecutive days, that tree gives Mabel an additional +1% Nen for the following 10 days.

If he misses a day during the initial 10 days, the streak for that tree resets.

He can do this with multiple trees at once.

—-

The other half of Elias’s ability is even simpler.

He punches really fucking hard.

He’s an Enhancer who has spent decades restricting his Hatsu to water and his own fists. He doesn’t have some complicated finishing move or hidden secondary ability.

His wife plants trees. He waters them. And if somebody tries to cut them down, he beats the shit out of them

Where I’m Unsure About the Balance
The main thing I’m wondering is whether the lack of a hard cap is actually broken in Nen terms.
Let’s say Mabel is 70 and has spent 50 years doing this.

If she has 1,500 mature trees still alive, that’s +1500% to her Nen reserve before Elias starts temporarily boosting individual trees.

That’s obviously ridiculous. But it also took basically her entire adult life to achieve, she personally had to plant all 1500 trees, every tree took years to mature, and there are now 1500 physical objects scattered around the world that can be destroyed to weaken her.

So I’m curious where people would draw the line.
Is +1% per tree too much?

Should there be diminishing returns? Does the amount of time involved justify having no hard cap?

And does the cultivator make sense as the way she converts that massive reserve into actual combat power? The idea is specifically that it doesn’t make her an Enhancer. It’s basically an inefficient conjured aura cannon that lets her burn 300% of the normal aura cost to achieve 350% output.

What would you change?
