>Ace of Wands: An innate and primal force released.
Or: how I learned to stop worrying and learn to love the MY NAME IS HUGE
>Age: 14

Fuck yeah!! Comin' again to save the motherfuckin' day yeah!!
>Identity: Shaman Lineage (-100)
>Drawbacks: Found Your OWn Ceiling (+100), The Ghost Whisperer (+100), How Small (+200), Wanted For X-secution (+200), Night Parade of 400 Demons (+400, Mandatory)
Oh my god he is SO TINY! It's goddamn adorable how he thinks he's Billy Badass. Also lucky that mandatory drawbacks don't count toward the cap...
>Furyuoku Doubling (x16) (300, Shaman)
Yoh has 108,000 in the end. Hao has 1,250,000. Me? I have 163,840,000.
>Guardian Reiryoku Doubling (x14, 0 Guardian points remaining)
Yeah, I pretty much outclass Hao's Spirit of Fire here as well. 81,920,000 versus 330,000.
>Reishi (0)
Having to listen to everyone's thoughts all the time is going to get annoying, I suspect.
>Shikigami (Free, Shaman)
Infusing spirits into things? That has potential.
>100% Gattai (Free, Shaman)
How useful, being able to combine with my guardian spirit. If only I cared.

So, firstly, fighting a fuckton of demons every week does WONDERS in learning how to use the local abilities... even if 'annoying' is decidedly NOT what I'd use to sum them up. And my damned clairvoyance can't track them in advance! Super annoying. Almost as annoying as the constant endless stream of ghosts. Never mind the people who want to kill me.

Either way, though, it leaves me wandering about and trying to use Jumper-Level Charisma to talk everyone into teaching me things. This works better than one might expect, thankfully, but not as well as I might hope. Still, accelerated learning does wonders.

The whole Shaman King tournament is ridiculous, though. Not going to lie. I used clairvoyance to see how that would turn out and decided to change it as directly as possible. When I faced Hao, I laughed at him. In my best Jabba the Hutt voice, I said, "Ho ho ho! Hao, you are so smol." And in a normal voice, "Power levels are bullshit, also Avada Kedavra."

The entire tournament was called off EXTREMELY QUICKLY after that wonderful flash of green, because out of context abilities are the best abilities and this whole setting is infested with idiots.

Hao did not reincarnate after that. What a shock, the Killing Curse actually did its job for once. Fucking inescapable shounen bullshit. It was worth spending the rest of the jump on the run just for that. The Unforgivables don't normally care for such petty things as shields, of course, but I have made it a habit to invest in every magic and metamagic boost that I can attain within reason. I don't particularly feel like digging through 1600 perks to find the applicable ones, but I am absolutely certain that I have them.

Also magic amplification perks and magic boosters sufficient to ensure that killing curse can probably not only kill one man, but a frickin' army at this point.

Wait, I mathed wrong. I don't have 16 purchases of furyouku, I have 17.

I don't have 163,840,000 furyouku.

I have 327,680,000.

I was wrong. Hao is not smol. HAO ARE SO TINY.
