Ten Shadows

The Ten Shadows Technique is an powerful Innate Cursed Technique. Using shadows as an intermediary, this technique allows the user to summon Ten Different Shikigami using shadows as an intermediary.

Description

When someone inherits the Ten Shadows Technique, they receive two Divine Dogs. Other shikigami can be summoned with an exorcism ritual where the user must defeat the shikigami in order to make them submit.
Once dominated, the shikigami are under full control of their master and can be summoned using shadowgraphic hand signs that create a shadow puppet of the respective familiar. The shadows act as the intermediary for the shikigami conjuration, reflecting the shape of the user's hand-weaved shadow puppet and manifesting the shikigami from tangible liquid shadows using cursed energy. After gaining more familiars, the user can repeat the ritual process to exorcise and amass up to ten different shikigami.
The summoning ritual for the shikigami can be performed around multiple people. However, exorcising the shikigami with help nullifies the technique's effect once the exorcism is completed.
The Ten Shadows Technique can be activated and deactivated at any time to manifest and dispel shikigami as long as the user has enough cursed energy. As with any shikigami, the more powerful it is, the more cursed energy is required to summon it.
Shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique cannot be summoned again when they are completely destroyed or killed. However, the power left behind by the shikigami is inherited by others. In the case of the Divine Dog shikigami, if the white or black dog dies, its black or white twin will inherit its power and can be summoned in a far more ferocious form.
