Quincy Powers
Reishi Absorption & Manipulation: Like all Quincy, Pao can absorb the Reishi from the atmosphere and use them for weapons and techniques. Pao has a much easier time gathering reishi in more dense areas such as Huceo Mundo and Soul Society though he doesn't seem to be entirely weakened by this.
 * Blut (German for Blood, Japanese for Blood Guise): Blut is a high level Quincy Technique in which the person focuses reishi through their blood veins, enabling them to increase their defenses or offenses. However the reishi systems for the two are separated meaning they can't be used at the same time.
 * Blut Vene (German for Blood Vein, Japanese for Stilled Blood Guise): Blut Vene is the defensive form of Blut. This allows Pao to increase his physical defenses and take on damages that would be a lot more taxing normally. Pao has shown to use Blut Vene with his Schrift, in order to block more powerful attacks.
 * Blut Arterie (German for Blood Artery, Japanese for Moving Blood Guise): This is the offensive form of Blut. With this Pao's offensive techniques become stronger, capable of damaging as strong as a Bankai. When combine with his Schrift, Pao can do a lot more damage in his attacks.

The Edge: Pao's Schrift allows him to turn his body in swords, mainly his limbs. Through the use of various movements, Pao can slice through things such as metal or an Arrancar's Hierro with just a swing of his arms or legs, almost as if they were swords. He can also use them for long range attacks, where upon doing so he fires reishi slashes that take on the form of bluish arcs. He can also use this ability for thrusts movements such as kicks.
