Nen Ability ideas.

I understand this thread will most likely be used only by me, but that’s okay. I just started rewatching HXH for the 5th time and I decided to put my ideas here.

Conjuror Ability: EBONY AND IVORY: AURA THIEF

Ebony and Ivory: Aura Thief

Ebony and Ivory are two conjurored daggers. Normally, it’d be a better idea to get regular daggers, but these daggers are conjurored with a special ability.

Ebony: A silver dagger. Every time Ebony comes into contact with a person or object that possesses Nen, it will “pickpocket” the nen out of them. The deeper the cut, the more nen “stolen”.

Ivory: A black, serrated dagger. Ivory “stores” the Nen that Ebony has stolen. It stores up Nen, and when the user is ready, will release the Nen in one attack.
To be specific, the Nen can be released in 2 different ways:

  1. Sharpening Ivory(so it can cut through things even smoother)
  2. Released in an Emitter attack

EBONY AND IVORY: AURA REFUND
The Nen released will always go back to the enemy, however the damage done will not be healed by that same Nen/you’ll have to regenerate it with more Nen than the amount refunded.

Conditions:

Ebony CANNOT steal total Nen, only Nen that is available.
For example: If you activated enough Nen for Ten to work, Ebony can only steal that Nen, not the total amount of Nen you actually have.
Simpler example: You have 20 dollars on hand and buy a 1 dollar ice cream. In your bank account you have 1,000 dollars. The 20 dollars is now 19 dollars, but your 1,000 dollars in the bank is still the same.

Ivory does not have a limit to the Nen that it can store, UNLESS the enemy has more Nen or is physically stronger than the user.
With enough cuts, Ebony can steal almost all the Nen from an opponent weaker than the user. However, if the opponent is stronger, Ivory can only hold 45% of the total Nen available, and that Nen has to be released within 1 minute or else it will automatically go back to the enemy.

spatial manipulation as a manipulator ability would be cool

a power that could pull stuff from your mind and make it real would also be neat, probably a specialisation ability

Meh, I dunno. The thing about Nen is that it’s balanced. If you want to be able to manipulate everything in a space to it’s fullest potential, there would have to be restrictions.

Maybe you have to have already touched everything in that area. Maybe you can’t move while the En field is up(En would most likely be used for a space manipulation ability)

4

true, i guess i’d have to think of a condition for it

5

Remember: Restriction and Pledge/Conditions

6

And the thing about spacial manipulation, that means EVERYTHING in that space. Including people, right?

That’s very powerful, and I’m not sure if that’s even possible. Maybe it’d be balanced if you can control only a set amount of objects in that space(only 3 things can be manipulated in that space?), or only inanimate objects.

7

i was thinking more like manipulating space itself instead of objects, so like teleportation and stuff

8

Oh, I’m pretty sure that’s actually possible, 2 people in the series possess that ability:

  1. the glasses guy who made portals in the chimera ant castle
  2. the boxer guy in greed island who could teleport his fists
9

yea, i just want to expand on that

10

Sounds fair enough to me. I’ll leave you to it, I want to make an emitter ability next.

11

one condition i can think of is that it can’t actually break objects or people (directly at least), just move them around (which also wouldn’t do damage so no lightspeed crashes) or create paths around/through them

so that’d mean they couldn’t just immediately twist someone to death or smth, they’d have to throw rocks or redirect attacks with portals
