Spirit Weapon

Spirit Weapon: The weapon that Quincies create by gathering the reishi in the air.

Overview
A Quincy uses the spirit particles in the atmosphere, Reishi, and combines it with his power to create weapons. By using their ability to gather reishi, a Quincy can then form that into a multitude of weapons with the aid of their Quincy cross.

Spirit Weapons, like Zanpakuto, are also capable of harming Hollows, which was their intended purpose. However, Spirit Weapons destroy Hollows completely rather than purifying them.

The only limits to the power of a Quincy's Spirit Weapon are the user's stamina and spiritual power.

Bows
The Quincy's unique spirit weapon, Kojaku, is formed by gathering Reishi in the Quincy Cross on the right hand. The arrows that it releases are also made of reishi. It can destroy Hollows in long-range attacks.


 * Ginrei Kojaku: A new bow composed of reishi encircling the Quincy cross. Can simultaneously fire up to 1200 arrows.

Formation Requirements

 * Above-Average Spiritual Power: A Quincy must have sufficient spirit energy to create a bow, and will not be able to unless their power increases.


 * Quincy Cross: A cross/pentacle pendant, the Quincy Cross acts as a focal point for the Quincy.


 * Reishi Environment: without an environment that has substantial or higher amounts of spiritual particles, spirit weapons cannot be formed.


 * The Quincy Bangle was created specifically for this purpose, though it does not fully overcome the Quincy's own lack of power.

Appearance
Quincy traditionally manifest Bows & arrows as their spirit weapon of choice. Such weapons are still used by the traditionalists. While more modern Quincy manifest a large variety of ranged weapons and in some cases close combat weapons to use in combat. A Quincy with above-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.

Heilig Pfeil

 * They are the primary attack used by Quincy. It is basically the same as an average arrow, but if the arrows are shot continuously they will eventually injure the wielders hands. 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 bow and arrow.

Marksmanship: When a Quincy becomes more skilled using their Bow and Heilig Pfeil, they gain more power and precision with their arrows. This is similar to how a marksman gains skill, and hits the target more frequently. Uryū Ishida has increased his power and skill much throughout the series, and is a prime example of this. In the beginning, he showed great accuracy, able to kill Hollows instantly using one arrow. During the Soul Society Arc, he fought Jirōbō Ikkanzaka, another projectile-type user, and easily defeats him. After defeating him, Uryū fires two arrows through his soul chain and soul sleep, to keep him from ever harming anyone again (he attempted to attack Orihime Inoue). This still does not compare to his father's, Ryūken Ishida, who can fire two arrows at the same time in two separate directions, killing their targets instantly, one-handed.

Quantity: Currently, Uryū's arrows are smaller in size, but pack the same amount of power as his larger arrows, as he can even fire a total of 1,200 arrows in succession without stopping. He can fire hundreds of arrows all at once, which Ichigo Kurosaki compared it to "bug spray" after he used it on a swarm of Hollows.

Path Control: When Uryū fought Cirucci Sanderwicci in Las Noches, he was able to curve his arrows' path after firing them, putting stress on the former Espada. This effectively makes the Quincy's Heilig Pfeil miniature heat-seeking missiles, but instead of locking on to heat, they target whatever enemy they have. It is unknown how long Uryū can control the arrow's path, or if there is a limit to how many can be under his control. So far he has only fired 3 simultaneously using this method.

Negation of Attacks: Uryū has used his arrows precisely, to the point where they negate another attack on impact. To do this, he charges the arrows with a sufficient amount of power, and fires them to strike an incoming projectile. He has used Heilig Pfeil this way twice: Once against Aisslinger Wernarr's Uña Tirotear attack, and a second time against Cirucci's Golondrina. It was especially useful against Aisslinger, since the Arrancar could only fire 108 projectiles at once, almost 1/12th the amount of arrows Uryū can fire.

Blue Flames
The Vandenreich possess this unique capability that allows them the ability of creating Blue Flames, which is simply condensed Reishi. It is powerful enough to set fire to the rocks and sand of Hueco Mundo, that usually cant burn.

Unique Weapons
Spear: A unique spirit weapon in the form a spear that is considerably long and solid construct. It is highly dangerous at a distance.

Sword: A unique spirit weapon in the form of a sword (saber).

Artillery: a unique spirit weapon in the form of large arch with four large protrusions upon it. It is capable of generating large globes of spiritual energy that fire destructive blasts.
