"Ecliptic Absorption / Koudoukyuuin" is an ability that allows Yogenhoshi to consciously absorb reasonable amounts of reiatsu through either of his hands, from someone possessing reiryoku and certain types of abilities, spells and blasts. Only the weakest of energy-based attacks can be wholly absorbed on contact, so his durability will be in direct opposition to the remaining offensive power, but he can absorb more over time if that contact is maintained by touch, holding it off or simply withstanding the results.

Abilities that manifest physically are susceptible to reiatsu absorption as they are directly linked to the reiryoku of whoever released / conjured it, as are blasts that aren't specialized in a way that prevents it because they are, essentially, pure spiritual energy. Kido spells that make direct contact with their target, to bind or otherwise, are a poor match against this ability as they must make sustained contact with Yogenhoshi to be effective, giving him ample opportunity to rejuvenate his own power while diminishing that of the spell.

The miniature vortexes are capable of drawing blasts to themselves, or just off of the intended course, and when combined by placing his hands together the magnitude of its pull and the amount of reiatsu it can absorb is doubled. The vacuum is effective up to 20ft.

"Ecliptic Phase / Koudoujisou" is an innate ability that allows Yogenhoshi to phase into a shadow, temporarily entering a "shadow realm" where time and distance is negated in lieu of being completely devoid of light, before instantaneously reemerging from a shadow that was within his field of vision during the shift. He may phase anywhere during an eclipse.

"Ecliptic Zone / Koudouchitai" manifests as a sort of "spiritual eclipse" which cannot be perceived by those that do not possess attuned spiritual awareness, waxing to blot out the sun / moon and stars to those within its boundaries, which is a 100ft radius or smaller.

Aside from that single tell-tale, entering or already being within the ability's range of effect gives no other perceptible sign-- until the unfortunate's ranged spiritual abilities are required, and fail. Only abilities which augment or imbibe one's own body or physical Zanpakutō will have an effect within the Ecliptic Zone, forcing close-quarters combat.

****Note: Blasts sent into this zone from the outside will begin dissolving and being absorbed immediately after making contact, and will be progressively slowed the further inside it penetrates; secondary effects, such as an explosion or specialty, are negated.

"Ecliptic Regeneration / Koudoukosei" uses Yogenhoshi's reiatsu, whether it was originally his or not, to first reinforce and then completely mend any physical damage he has sustained so long as he is conscious to will it. The amount required to make a full regeneration is dependent on the extent of damage and speed with which it is to be healed.

****Note: Yogenhoshi has developed this ability under the veil of secrecy, and has yet to use it when anyone else is around to learn that he possesses it or what its utilities are.

These are both beyond the capacity of a sealed ability. Please remove them from Sealed abilities and include them in your Shikai if you wish to retain them.

For the foreseeable future(until you're probably 0 tier) this needs both a start up time and a duration. (1 post and 5 posts respectively). It's doing too many things.

This ability NEEDS a one post start up, where it's forming for one post before it finishes the eclipse. It may then last for six turns before it needs to be reapplied.
