» Reiryoku Spell Effects: By using her mastership over reiryoku in tandem with her prodigious and creative artistic mind, Sofia has managed to create a technique that is equally beautiful as powerful. In her mind, every technique should be as powerful as it is graceful, something that reflects very well in her form of combat. When using Welles des Urteils, the Quincy prodigy creates a beautiful and large wave of what looks like silvery white reiryoku/reishi. The color is indicative both of the pureness of her ability and the typical color scheme preferred by her people. The size of the wave is in direct correlation to Sofia’s own size however. As such, for every foot of height of Sofia, the wave would increase by 10 meters in height and 20 meters in width. As such, at her normal height of 5’7”, the wave is just over 50 meters in height and 100 meters in width. The speed at which the wave travels unassisted reaches about Mach 5 on a regular basis, and Mach 10 if used during her Vollstanding release.

As for the effects, the wave is misleading in that it looks as if it was a form of silver water; that’s not the case. The highly concentrated reiryoku creates a truly wonderful fusion that allows for an extremely sticky substance that burns on contact by hydrolyzing the surface it lands on. Not unlike the napalm of the humans, the wave sticks to any surface it touches be it living or inanimate. The substance sticks in such a way that it cannot be washed off by water or evaporated by heat. Once the substance sticks, the only way to remove it is to literally scrape it off. However as soon as contact is made with the substance it creates extremely dangerous chemical burns that become hotter and burn through the tissue even more with prolonged time. Being coated by it would certainly create at the very least third degree burns, while allowing the substance to remain attached for an extra post would see the area’s muscles decay, and a post beyond that even the skeletal system would. Beyond scraping off the substance, and the skin as well in the process, if a target were to be caught in it, the agonizing struggle would last for up to three posts before dissipating. However, there are conditions and limitations for the latter.

Opponents at least two tiers higher than hers can use their spiritual energy to free themselves after one post of being enveloped by the substance. Those of the same tier as hers are only able to be freed from it after two posts, and those weaker must await the three posts before it disappears. Beyond that, Welles des Urteils is not without its share of problems and disadvantages. It will hit and affect allies if they’re caught in its confines just as well as it would opponents. After all, the only safe individual is Sofia since her spiritual signal was crafted into the nature of the technique to be spared. And more than that, due to the amount of effort required to control the technique, once Welles des Urteils has dissipated, it cannot be casted again for another 4 posts.
