I confirm that your first and last abilities are the best, especially the latter. I'll paste mine.

Name: Bloodless Slavery

Nen Type: Manipulation, Conjuration

Description: The user summons "Tyrant", a nodachi with only half of its blade, which looks as if it has been snapped in two, and a red string tied to the kashira-gane. If "Tyrant" comes in contact with the opponent's body, it will pass through it without inflicting damage (in all other cases, it will act as a normal sword). The opponent will instantly become incapable of moving or channeling aura in whatever part of their body has has been "cut" or "stabbed" by "Tyrant", also losing all senses associated to said body part. This means that if the blade reaches the muscles under the skin, those muscles will become useless, greatly hindering the opponent's mobility. Moreover, with a slash that would cause a normal blade to sever a limb, the limb in question will be completely immobilized, as if it was cut for real. If the same spot is hit twice by "Tyrant", the second time the blade will cause actual damage. After a few succesful slashes that deprive the opponents of their freedom of movement, it becomes very easy to inflict a lethal wound.

However, the main purpose of this ability is not combat, but rather capture and espionage. After the first succesfull cut, a one-inch tall clay doll will appear at the other end of the red string. Blue and black paint will appear on the doll in correspondence of the areas where the opponent was "cut". In the event that what would be a lethal wound with another blade is inflicted, the entire doll will be painted immediately. "Severed" body parts are also fully painted on the doll. Once the doll is fully colored, the opponent will be put in a death-like state.

At this point, the user can then either kill them or rip the red string, separating the doll from "Tyrant". If he does so, the victim of the ability will wake up in a few days, the exact time depending on their physical and mental power, without any memories of the fight. If the user whispers a command to the doll, the person it corresponds to will do anything in their power to follow it (they will retain all their former abilities).

Only the user of the ability can issue commands to the doll. The user can destroy a doll and negate its effects at any moment by chanting "Let the flesh be free" while holding the doll in their left hand.

Limitations:

1) There is no limit to how many dolls can be created at once; however, all of them must be fully painted in order to be removed from the sword.

2) If the opponent manages to touch the doll with any part of their body, the doll will be destroyed, and the effects of "Tyrant" nullified.

3) The same will happen if "Tyrant" is cancelled for any reason while the doll is still tied to the red string.

4) The red string cannot be broken until the doll is fully painted.

5) A doll that has been separated from "Tyrant" will destroy itself 24 hours after receiving the first command; otherwise, it will last indefinitely (in this case, however, its durability will equal that of a normal clay doll).

6) If an order is whispered to the doll of a person that is unconscious or unable to obey it, they will be unable to carry out the command, but the 24 hour count will start anyway.
