Afinar

is a technique used by the Arrancar, Findorr Calius.

Description
Findorr's mask acts as an inhibitor, restricting the full extent of his abilities to a level which is proportionate to how complete it currently is. When his mask is whole, Findorr's power is equivalent to that of a 5th Seat Shinigami, but by breaking fragments of it off, his power can increase exponentially.

Damage to just a small segment brings Findorr's abilities to that of a 4th Seat, whereas the removal of the entire lower portion increases them further, becoming equal to a 3rd Seat. When all which remains is the section covering his right eye, Findorr claims he is as strong as a Lieutenant, easily overwhelming 9th Division Lieutenant Shūhei Hisagi while he refrained from releasing his Zanpakutō. With exactly 90% of the mask gone while in his Resurrección, Findorr claims his power rivals that of a Captain, although this was disproved when Hisagi defeated him regardless.
