Name: DRUM

Nen Type: Transmutation

Description: This ability has three applications:

Shock:

The user Transforms his/her aura into kinetic energy, which can be released through physical contact in any part of his/her body. This is the most basic application of the ability, offensive in nature. Through Emission, the user can also transfer the kinetic energy to an object, which will release it as soon as it comes in contact with a solid or liquid body.

Charge:

The defensive application of the ability. Instead of taking damage from a blow, the user can absorb the kinetic power of the impact, redistributing it evenly on their whole body, thus basically negating it. This works with edged weapons and firearms, too. However, if too much kinetic energy is absorbed without being released, the user's body will suffer damage in their "softest" parts (eyes, genital area...).

Discharge:

A mixture of the other two techniques, which makes it offensive and defensive at the same time. It is mainly a way to avoid receiving damage from excessive use of "Charge". The user simply releases all the kinetic energy accumulated through physical contact, either by channeling it into the ground or by releasing it against an opponent.

Limitations:

1- Only one technique can be used at a time, meaning one cannot, for example, use "Shock" without first releasing the energy absorbed with "Charge", or absorb damage while using "Discharge".

2- Just like Genthru has to shield his hands from his explosions, the user must defend themselves with aura when using "Shock" (unless transferring it to an object; the power will thus depend on one's skills in Emission) or "Discharge", thus reducing the power of the attack. This is particularly dangerous during the execution of the second ability, as it slows down the whole process and leaves the user exposed to attacks.

3- The user cannot disengage "Discharge" until ALL the kinetic energy they have absorbed has been released; furthermore, the part of their body that serves to "ground" the energy cannot be moved, forcing the user to stay immobile.
