» Upgrading:
Hollow Mask:
Body of the Conqueror: Both Laskt and Chikai no Uragiru have always been warriors that focused heavily around the physical side of combat, so it should come as no surprise that donning the mask grants Laskt titanic increases in strength, speed and durability, significantly decently above the average physical enhancement of a Vizard. This is mostly since the powers that his mask grants him are not nearly as powerful as some other Hollows, so the excess energy is fed back into his physicals. In terms of Reiatsu, Laskt’s normally pure Reaistu corrupts into a terrifying maelstrom of power, going above and beyond what Laskt is capable of on his own.

Agonyflame: If the Flame of Tar Valon is the flame that punishes the sinners, Baleflame is the fire that scours the Earth. Upon donning his mask, Laskt’s flames gain a significant increase in their potency and raw power, drastically increasing their effectiveness in combat. In addition, the restrictions of the flames as far as harming innocents are completely removed, as the fires are always at maximum potency now. The third and final augmentation is what gives the ability it’s name. Whatever these flames touch, they simultaneously activate all of the pain receptors in the general area of contact, inflicting immense agony on the target. The more one is exposed to these cursed flames, the worse the pain grows. For every two posts of contact to these cursed flames, the target requires an additional rank of willpower to ignore the effects. If they go beyond their willpower, than the afflicted location is forcibly rendered unusable. Targets more than two tiers above Laskt are immune to these effects.

Chains that Enslave Heaven: Chikai no Uragiru has always favored chains to complement his swordsmanship in combat, and, upon donning his mask, Laskt gains access to these very same chains. As soon as his mask is activated, bladed chains materialize around his arms, legs and midsection, ready for use (one per limb and two in midsection). These chains are controlled mentally, so no physical motion is necessary. Their Strength, Durability and Speed, curiously, has an inverse relationship with the curse intensity. They are two ranks below him for the full effect of the curse, one rank for 75% of the effect, equal for half effect. When not in use, they will automatically defend Laskt to the best of their ability.

Curse of the Last Tyrant: The chains of Chikai no Uragiru are no simple tools. Each set of chains (barring those on his midsection) houses a debilitating curse that activates when the bladed tips pierce the target’s flesh and draw blood. The effects only intensify if the targets are hit additional times. If the target is two tiers above Laskt, then the effects are reduced by half. Additionally, the chains must physically draw blood from the target for the curses to activate making spiritual defenses like Hierro extremely effective counters.

• Curse of Scorching: This curse is housed within the chain upon Laskt’s left arm. Upon the activation of the curse, all chains rapidly increases in temperature, around a thousand degrees per curse activation. This heat does not affect Laskt, and similarly will be weak against those with resistance to its temperature.
  
• Curse of Nightmare: This curse is housed within the chainup on Laskt’s right arm. Upon activation of the curse, auditory and sensory hallucinations of the target’s worst fears (both physical and mental) begin to appear, only detectable to the target. Every time they are struck, the illusions grow more and more real and complex. If the target has focus or mental deduction that is greater than 2 ranks below Laskt’s Power Augmentation, they can resist the effects. Additionally, these effects are purely mental, and cannot deal any damage.
  
• Curse of Debilitation: This curse is housed within the chains upon Laskt’s left leg. Upon activation of the curse, a selected physical sense is reduced by half of its normal potency. Spiritually based senses are unaffected by this debilitation. If the target has focus or mental deduction that is greater than 2 ranks below Laskt’s Power Augmentation, they can resist the effects.
  
• Curse of Greed: This curse is housed within the chain upon Laskt’s right leg. This curse is a bit different, as instead of intensifying upon each hit, it instead activates the same effect on every hit. Upon this curse’s activation, about 5% of the target’s energy pool is absorbed by the chain and given to Laskt himself. This effect increases or decreases by 2% if the target is a tier above or below the target respectively. If the target is massively more powerful than Laskt, the sudden influx of energy could have disastrous consequences.
  

» Why:
This upgrade is mostly an overhaul of Chikai's powers to better fit his theme and not just be "stronk and evil ice". It's getting to the point where Laskt is going to actually use his Vizard powers more frequently now, so I figured I might as well get this pre-approved so I dont have to hold up threads. If staff wants me to hold on this until more Hollow interactions happen, that's fine.

Thanks as always
