Spirit Weapon

Spirit Weapons are armaments that Quincy can create by gathering the Reishi in the air.

Overview
A Quincy combines the Reishi in the atmosphere and the power of their Quincy Cross in order to form a weapon. Spirit Weapons, like Zanpakutō, are also capable of harming Hollows, which was their intended purpose. However, a Spirit Weapon completely destroys Hollows rather than purifying them. The only thing that limits the power of a Quincy's Spirit Weapon is the Quincy's own stamina and spiritual power.

Formation Requirements
In order to form a Spirit Weapon, the Quincy must meet certain criteria. All conditions must be met in order for the weapon to be formed.
 * Above-Average Spiritual Power: A Quincy must have sufficient spirit energy to create a weapon, and will not be able to unless their power increases.


 * Quincy Cross: The Quincy cross gives the power to create the weapon, acting as a kind of focus. Without one, a weapon cannot be formed.


 * Reishi Environment: Spirit Weapons rely on Reishi. There must be Reishi in the area for the Quincy to form a weapon.
 * The Quincy Bangle was created for weaker Quincy to make it easier for them to gather Reishi, though it does not fully overcome the Quincy's lack of power.

Appearance
In the past, Quincy only manifested bows and arrows to fight with. Such weapons are still used by the traditionalists. Modern Quincy developed the ability to form a variety of weapons around 200 years ago.
 * A Quincy with just average level spiritual power is more likely to produce weapons in the form of a blue energy.


 * A Quincy with significant mastery of their spiritual power is more likely to produce weapons with a far more physical, metallic appearance.

Projectiles

 * They are the primary attack used by Quincy. Spiritual energy formed into the shape of an arrow that is capable of injuring and/or killing spiritual beings. The arrows can be created by collecting Reishi, absorbing Reiryoku from an opponent or gathering spirit energy, giving the Quincy many ways to form their arrows. It is basically the same as an average arrow, but if the arrows are shot continuously, they will eventually injure the wielders' hands.


 * are sword-like weapons used by the Quincy.
