Effects: Once the user casts this spell their body is momentarily hidden by a bright light before revealing their form now clad in a suit of Barrier Kidō-like armor. This armor is made up of many plates of solidified Reishi which hover about two inches off the caster's body. These plates of Reishi do not collide and pass straight through each other, leaving the user's movements unimpeded. Like any Kidō barrier Sei-kotsu Sōkō can protect from both physical and energy attacks, though sufficiently strong examples of either can damage or shatter it. Typically this consists of repeated hits from enemies with stats lower than or equivalent to the caster's Kidō rank, with variation based on the amount of effort used by said enemies, or singular hits from those with higher stats. It does not protect from changes in temperature, eg if struck with a blast of fire the wearer would still suffer from heat exhaustion. This spell's duration is based on the user's skill level, with the following table explaining how:
Beginner: N/A
Adept: 1 Post
Advanced: 3 Posts
Elite: 5 Posts
Master: 10 Posts
Grandmaster: Limited only by the caster's energy supply
Incantation: O', Lord of Heaven, Adorn me in your Grace and Defend your Arbiter
Name: Genso Kakusan (元素拡散, Elemental Diffusion)
Type: Supplemental, not categorized
Number: Equivalent to mid 20's, no true equivalent due to nature of spell
Effects: This audacious spell is something Morikawa Mizu spent a considerable amount of time and effort brewing up. In essence when cast by itself it does nothing, but if cast in conjunction with another Kidō spell Mizu is able to change said spell's existing elemental affinity (such as Sōkatsui's fire affinity) or apply a new one altogether. This can allow her to use any spell in any situation, no longer limited her available repertoire to what happens to be effective against any given foe. However, crucially, Genso Kakusan is limited in what sorts of elements it can apply to spells: Only lightning, fire, earth, cold/ice, wind (causes spells to blow away hazards from the battlefield like gases while also making them razor sharp), and "impact" (this nontraditional element provides any given spell with a blunt physical impact beyond what it might normally possess) can be applied to spells. Combining elements into a single spell is dangerous and has a heightened chance of failing, with more than two causing the spell to automatically fail and misfire. Like any other spell overuse can exhaust the caster, and using different elements in rapid succession can have unintended effects (using fire then cold/ice can weaken the latter, while the reverse is also true). In addition, the power of the added element is mainly limited by the caster's skill level with lower ranks only being able to apply base attributes of elements (eg in fire's case, they could make a spell hot but not an inferno) while higher ranks (typically Advanced+) have more freedom for what they can do.
Incantation: Given the unique quality of this spell, it's incantation is also nontraditional. In lieu of a true incantation, the caster (if Elite or below) must say "Genso Kakusan: Apply X [Where X=chosen element]". If Master or Grandmaster, the user can apply this spell without any verbal cue.
» Why: Mizu used a very rudimentary version of the first spell against Amaranta where she created a small barrier over her leg like a piece of armor to help absorb the blow of an attack. She developed the latter because she has come across some individuals with unique abilities and elemental powers and she doesn't want to be restricted by her opponents' strengths.

In addition, the power of the added element is mainly limited by the caster's tier with lower tiers only being able to apply base attributes of elements (eg in fire's case, they could make a spell hot but not an inferno) while middle and higher tiers have more freedom for what they can do.
This should be attached to the skill level ie. if Mizu taught this to a 1-tier Adept kido character, it would certainly be potent but the actual skill of that individual is limited ie. an Elite has more freedom than an Adept.
Final Check:
Issues addressed.
