I wonder what Elemental sub-type this blade would be...?

Teionjin (Low Temperature Blade): While sealed it takes the form of a regular katana with a simple bronze cross-guard, flame orange-coloured hilt-wrapping and a flame orange-coloured sheathe.


 * Shikai: The wielder says the command, “Defy” then blows on the tip of the blade. In shikai, Teionjin's blade is covered by a special fire-like plasma; in essence it looks like the blade is on fire. The ‘flames’ burn for as long as shikai is active.


 * Shikai special abilities: The fire-like plasma that covers the blade has properties that are very different from normal fire. The fire-like plasma rapidly absorbs the heat within anything it touches, thus drastically lowering the temperature of the affected object or victim. This means that whatever Teionjin cuts, has its heat absorbed and its temperature drastically lowered. The more heat that is absorbed, the larger and stronger the ‘flame’ covering the blade. Teionjin ‘burns’ using the wielder’s spiritual energy and heat absorbed from things it has cut; once depleted the fire-like plasma extinguishes and shikai is forcibly resealed.


 * Bankai: Genshotai Teionjin (Extreme Heat Body, Low Temperature Blade): In bankai the fire-like plasma now engulfs the blade and is blue in colour. The wielder’s appearance changes slightly as a result of bankai, with blue-coloured fire flaring from their hair, wrists and ankles. Like in shikai, the ‘flames’ engulfing the blade and the flames on the wielder’s body will continuously burn for as long as bankai is active.


 * Bankai special abilities: Genshotai Teionjin retains all its shikai abilities but now has the ability to project and manipulate the fire-like plasma that it generates. The fire-like plasma more rapidly absorbs heat than in shikai, thus lowering temperatures a lot lower than it would in shikai. The fire that flares from the wielder’s extremities has the normal properties of fire and gives off heat as well as being able to burn things; when heat is absorbed by the fire-like plasma, the fire that flares from their extremities increases in temperature accordingly. If heat is not absorbed often the fire that flares from their extremities reverts back to its original temperature. Unlike the fire-like plasma that the blade generates, the fire that flares from the wielder’s hair, wrists and ankles cannot be projected.


 * Kagaitō (Fire Cloak): This technique enables the wielder to cloak their hands, forearms, feet or forelegs in the fire flaring from their wrists and ankles.


 * Teion Ōuzumaki (Low Temperature Maelstrom): Genshotai Teionjin generates a huge vortex of the blue-coloured fire-like plasma that rages around the target. On command, the plasma vortex engulfs everything inside, completely absorbing all of the heat within its attack area and thus leaving the affected area reduced to an incredibly low temperature.


 * Nenshō Teion, Hikajin (Burning Low Temperature, Flying Fire Blade): The fire that flares from the wielder’s hair, wrists and ankles flows down into the blade, turning the fire-like plasma engulfing the blade a bright white colour. This slightly alters the properties of the fire-like plasma. Now as well as rapidly absorbing the heat from whatever it touches, it then instantly uses the absorbed heat to burn. Thus, when Genshotai Teionjin cuts while this technique is active, the target is burned simultaneously as its temperature is being drastically lowered. The rate of spiritual energy consumption increases exponentially while this technique is active. Also this technique cannot be utilized while other techniques and abilities are active and vice-versa.
