KAIDO: a supernatural extension of one’s spirit. kaido is inherited, and cannot be learned if one is not born with the “spiritual extension.” the abilities of kaido are virtually limitless, and while ranging from simple hat tricks to world changing occurrences, there are physical limitations to a kaido user. it is, essentially, magic and stretches as far as the user’s imagination. the technology of the time has not officially classed the ranges of kaido, but recognizes trends in its most common usage:
extended aid to everyday tasks ( cooking, farming, cleaning, domestic tasks, basic telekinesis )
monitoring & communication / military coordination
leisurely uses ( visual, entertainment, hobby )
medicinal
military/strategic/protection purposes ( teleportation - can be restricted by basic barriers )
kaido usage also varies in difficulty and strength, with the simplest tasks being able to be performed by a solitary user with little energy consumption, to the most difficult, high-scale operations requiring multiple “channels” ( users ) and a significant investment of energy, knowledge, and/or ritual. barrier creation, large area of effects, and high-scale military functions are examples of these.
as with any form of ability, the potential for kaido abuse is extremely prominent, and presents a worldwide problem. kaido is wide open for exploitation, and it has certainly been done. black kaido describes a range of taboo practices, which include killing, false human creation, human manipulation and torture. the practice of black kaido damages the user’s soul, eventually destroying it, or crippling their body and mind. not only does it stain the soul black, but it also causes massive physical consequences, such as pain, illness, or mental instability. if black kaido does not completely destroy the body and soul, the body decays, the mind becomes corrupt. such beings are referred to as The Cripples.
