I have come up with 3 zanpakuto ideas I would like, but over time I have crossed out one entirely, because I realized while it makes a lot of sense in a manga position, but for why I made it it didn't work well, so I changed that idea to being able to manipulate light, specifically in lasers. It had the ability to fire lazers off at any point of the blade in vary levels, anything from a kido equivilent up to 60 (at the point where my character was) it also had a shunko like ability, without any need of a skill in hakuda, by allowing you to power your body, and control it through kido. My third zan I cam eup with is the one I am currently expanding and working one, and it is a melee type Zan, rather than kido like most that I think of. Similar to Yachiro's it doesn't change the blade itself, it creates something else from it, namely a sheild. It had an ability similar to Getsuga Tensho, as well as a defensive ability which allowed it to block any attack (even from a captain level shinigami). As for the Bankia I am still working out the mechanics, so I am unsure on that.

The details of my Zan are here: http://bleach-rp.wikia.com/wiki/Kishimara_Yuru#

This was also a Zanpakuto I put a bit more thought into:

Name: kageumi (Lit. Ocean Shadow, Viz. Shadow of the sea)

Sealed Form: A standard katana with a gaurd which bends towards the hilt

Release Command: Bend all to your will, Kageumi

Shikia: The blade becomes wave-like in appearance, and appears to actually move in waves to the enemy, leaving the appearance of the blade being 1-2 inches away from where it trully is, the wave speed and pattern is set.

Ability: Aside from the weird movement pattern of Kageumi, it is capable of warping any kind of waves and amplifying them slightly, this can be used to change the light around you, turning what is normally sound, into visable light, or light into sound, confusing the senses. This takes a lot of energy to do with small waves like light, so in shikia it is usually stuck to controlling waves such as water ripples and sound waves.

Bankia: Kageumi Chikara Nami (Lit. Ocean Shadow, mighty wave, Viz. Shadow of the Sea, waves of might)

Primary Ability: In this form the sword gives up being a sword, it now becomes a wave of energy, this energy bends to my will, and can be changed to nearly any wavelegth, while still retaining the same cutting potential of a blade. Sound, light and any other wave now bends to the will of Kazeumi, and to any frequency it desires.

Secondary Ability: The sword is capable of entering a spiral pattern, creating waves of air pressure, turning the air itself into a weapon to be controlled, and this form also acts as a sheild, as the wave-like blade surrounds me, while this ability is active.

I have always been facinated by waves, and I love the concept of controlling them. My spiritual pressure would behave much like a wave as well, have points of extreme intesities where I could match a lieutenant, and points where I wouldnt be able to stand up to a 10th seated officer. In bankia my spiritual pressure is always at the crest. My mean power level would be that around a 3rd or 4th seated officer.
