Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Insect Control: Shiki can summon and control various supernatural insects. These can vary from almost invisibly small bugs to giant 4-5 meters large monstrosities. These insects serve multiple purposes. She can fly, order the insects to attack or do other more specific actions depending on the type of insect. Summoning larger insects require Shiki to use a charm.

  • Insect Spies: Shiki can use a cloud of insects to spy on an area or observe people from distance.

 

  • Puppet Bees: Shiki can use a bees to control people. Whoever is stung by this special bee is going to put under Shiki's mental control.

 

  • Giant Insect: Shiki can summon various large flying insects that she can later use as a mount for traveling.


Flying Blade Insect: A large flying insect that can be summoned from charms. While most of Shiki's large summons are used solely for traveling, the Flying Blade Insect is designed for areial combat. It has a large, spearhead shaped horn that, combined with the creature's massive speed, can be used for devastating dive attacks. Said attacks are strong enough to cut through steel and slice off the top part of a patrol boat. In addition the creature has a steel-like resilient carapace, strong enough to resist gunfire (although not strong enough to withstand a Railgun shot from Train). The Flying Blade Insect can also perform a quick spinning move to deflect machinegun bullets right back to the general direction of the sender.


Setsuki: Shiki's strongest summon, large humanoid creature specialized for combat. Setsuki has human-like sentience and skills that can match a Chronos Number. The creature is also remarkably fast, able to narrowly dodge Train's Railgun from almost point blank range. Aside from speed the creature was also remarkably strong and durable. Furthermore, Shiki could infuse Setsuki with more of her ki, giving the creature twice as much power. Although doing so also increases Setsuki's muscle mass and weight thus slowing down the creature enough to allow River to fight him evenly. In addition Setsuki has the power of regeneration, allowing him to survive as long as Shiki could supply him with energy. As such Setsuki cannot be killed until her master (Shiki) is being conscious.

Screaming Laser: Setsuki releases a high-pitched screech that forms a concentrated beam of soundwaves, very similar to a laser cutter.

Paper Explosives: Shiki can throw Fuda papers that she can later remotely blow up, generating moderately large explosions. Akin to telekinesis, Shiki can also control the flight path of the Fuda papers.

Spirit Cannon: Shiki arranges five Fuda papers into a pentagram, releasing a large energy blast to obliterate her enemy.

Divine Barrier: Shiki can use her Fuda papers to erect a forcefield, deflecting all the incoming attacks for a while. Albeit powerful, Shiki noted that her barrier cannot block the force of Train's Railgun.

Fuda Sword: Shiki can arrange many pieces of Fuda paper into a sword that is stronger than steel and can release jets of flame. Supposedly, it also enhances Shiki's Tao powers.

Homura no Orochi: Shiki's strongest Tao technique. It summons a large fiery serpent from her Fuda sword to incinerate the enemy.
