Materialification Technique

The is a unique Reijutsu of the Getsueikirite Clan.

Usage
According to Raian, the Materialification Technique does exactly what the name suggests: materializing the user's into a specific form. It is entirely secret among the clan, to the point that even Raian himself, a Shinigami who has lived close to two thousand years, had never heard of it until his final battle with Akujin — another member of his clan.

As Raian would later discover, Akujin used this technique almost exclusively, meaning his true Shikai and Bankai remain unknown to this day. As demonstrated by both clan members, true mastery of this technique comes when it can be applied to the user's Bankai.

The user transforms their Reiatsu into a massive, towering giant, with themselves being completely within the giant. Depending on the user, the giant varies in appearance, but caries the theme of a samurai-like warrior. Being the literal manifestation of the user's Reiatsu, it is only as strong as the user's Reiatsu, as demonstrated by the colossal power of both Raian and Akujin's variations. Raian also notes that the technique was likely developed as a natural defense against Hollows, as a Hollow's power cannot affect a being of pure Reiatsu.

Likewise, it is also the perfect technique to counter a Quincy's abilities, as Quincy may only absorb Reishi, and are therefore powerless against this technique. Hollowfication seems to effect the appearance of the giant, but it is unclear if it has any other effect.

Drawbacks
Raian notes that the extreme control one needs to have of their own Reiatsu, in order to use this technique, is such that, other than Akujin, he speculates that he could count the number of Getsueikirite to actually use it on one hand. He also notes that, despite his own mastery of his own Reiatsu, without the assistance of his flow-based Zanpakutō, he would also be unable to use this technique — further demonstrating the difficulty in using and maintaining it.
