Shakkahō

is a Kidō spell.

Description
Shakkahō is primarily used for offense. The practitioner generates a orb of crimson red energy in his/her palm or finger. The orb can be any size from small, medium or large depending on the level of power being used. The destructive power released by the blast can vary between a simple explosion to a pillar of energy. In both instances the spell causes concussive as well as burn damage. It is one of the mid-level Hadō spells.

The spell is of the common spells taught at the Shinō Academy. It tends to be many Shinigami's default offensive spell, for those well versed and not so well versed in Kidō.
