AI summary

Grants swordsmanship enlightenment: you can reconstruct any swordsmanship or martial art style, fictional ones included, after a few seconds' thought, and hold monstrous mastery even without styles or stances, your attacks mimicking the very concepts of cutting and stabbing. Like a Souls protagonist you can parry attacks you logically should not be able to, no opponent can ever adapt to or see through your techniques however often they face them, you can slash and pierce without a sword at 85% of the sharpness of the sharpest blade you have held, extend your reach with your Qi, and project a toggleable Sword Intent that makes bystanders feel about to be cut — usable as armour or a second set of muscles, and capable of severing supernatural perception of you. You also gain conceptual cutting after a certain Immortal, letting you cut the unbreakable or cut someone's awareness of what you are cutting; the power of Infinity after a certain Nameless Samurai, manifesting alternate slashes into reality; and the ability to cull alternate timelines down to one after a certain World-Hopping Woman, through pure skill rather than Mystic Eyes.

Effects

16
  • By training for an unknown amount of time, you achieve enlightenment. You can easily recreate any swordsmanship or martial art style just by thinking for a few seconds, even fictional ones.

  • You possess a monstrous mastery over swordsmanship, even without using any styles or stances. Your attacks seem to mimic the very concept of "cutting," and "stabbing," flowing effortlessly and unimpeded even against things you normally wouldn't be able to harm.

  • Similar to the protagonists of a Souls-like, you can also use your sword to defend against attack which you logically shouldn't be able to.

  • Your opponents can't adapt or get used to your attacks. They will always be as close to comprehending it as a normal human would be to comprehending a fifth-dimensional object.

  • No one can see through your attacks. It will be as if you used a technique for the first time, no matter how many times it has been used on the same foe.

  • You can slash and pierce without a sword. Your sharpness will always be equivalent to 85% of the sharpest sword you have held. You can either manifest this as an imaginary, invisible sword, or just straight up cutting with your hands.

  • You can extend the range of your slashes and stabs using your "Qi" (I.e. your stamina.)

  • You possess a "Sword Intent," an aura that makes others feel as if they are about to be cut just by standing in your presence. This can be toggled on and off.

  • You can use your Sword Intent to empower yourself, wearing it like armor and/or a second set of muscles. Your Sword Intent will also cut any supernatural method of perceiving you.

  • You also have several special abilities related to slashes:

  • Like a certain Immortal, you can cut on a conceptual level. You can choose how this works: For example, cutting the unbreakable, making others forget about whatever you're cutting, etc.

  • Similar to a certain Nameless Samurai, you have the power of Infinity, being able to manifest a number of alternate slashes into your world.

  • Similar to a certain World-Hopping Woman, you can cull alternate timelines to leave a single one. This works via sheer skill rather than the crutch called Mystic Eyes, though.

  • Like the Ancestor of a Certain Family, you can use a "Nameless Slash" that will release a massive amount of light that can cut anything.

  • If you feel like it, you can use an insane amount of slashes in a single second.

  • You have a free sword: It's only comparable to a mundane top 0.1% masterwork, but it can change into any kind of mundane sword, and it's also completely indestructible.
