Yours is a very strong ability! Only expert pros could use it. I get different results with every test I try, but my type is most likely Conjuration, though Transmutation would suit me better... abilities that are moderately strategical without too many complications. Therefore, I believe my ability would be influenced by this preference of mine and entail both natures.

That said,  Kurapika's ability for Conjuration and Killua's, Hisoka's, Machi's and Zeno's for Transmutation are still much better than mine. What's for sure is that as soon as I am done with this, a better Hatsu will pop up in my mind.



Name: Ghost Swords (Curse of the Killed Warrior)

Nen Type: Conjuration, Transmutation, Manipulation

Description: A mid-range ability that I would activate only if hand-to-hand combat is not sufficient or, if facing an Enhancer, I can't beat him by just Materializing a staff (fighting with my bare hands would be my preferred style, but since Conjurers are moderately far from Enhancement, a staff would be the best weapon against enemies who are physically stronger than me). First, I Conjure a staff and, using Manipulation, I make it to levitate in my proximity. Then I give cutting properties to the aura it is infused with, causing it to give off a blue, fiery light, in a will-o'-the-wisp fashion, and turning it in an actual blade. The staff will automatically intercept any attack that I am aware of or that is not concealed with In, endowing me with a defense that leaves no blind spots.



<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;">If I choose to sacrifice this automatic defense, I can also move the staff telepatically through hand gestures, using it to attack from a safe distance, or even hurling it at a speed comparable to that of a bullet.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;">If I decide to focus entirely on offense, I can completely disengage Manipulation to wield it normally, thus focusing better on Transmutation and Enhancement. Obviously, I am impervious to its cutting effect.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;">I usually employ three staves in this ability.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Limitations: 

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">1) I can't Conjure more than three staves at once.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">2) I can't give cutting properties to my aura without channeling it through one of the staves I Conjure, which means I'm unable, for instance, to cut things with my hands alone or with an already existing object.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">3)  <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">The staves are not indestructible, so someone skilled enough in Enhancement could break them. To avoid this, I'd need to consciously control them and use more than one to block the same attack.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">4) Due to my absence of training and natural lack of talent for Emission, if a staff is more than 3 meters away from me in any direction, I become unable to Manipulate it.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">5) As mentioned above, attacks that I don't sense AND that are hidden with In cannot be paired automatically.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">6)  <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Furthermore, the staves can't block attacks faster than they are, or non-physical attacks (e.g. poison, fire...).
