That technique has been taken in two different formats if you want ideas. (luckily they are both Filler-Canon so not everybody is as strict when referencing these techniques)

http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Kager%C5%8Dza_Inaba#Zanpakut.C5.8D Here is one aspect idea of what I like to call a boomerang effect by manipulating space. Physical, practiced movement of his Zanpakuto is required in "copying" the space of where that technique/attack was used, and it can only repeatedly use the last copied attack of his/her opponent.

http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Nozomi_Kuj%C5%8D#Zanpakut.C5.8D Here its like a gauge setting, where you can store energy as you absorb it and then choose how to unleash it. There is a limit though, as seen when she tries to absorb the Getsuga Tensho and Ryujin Jakka's flames at the same time, cracking her Zanpakuto into pieces.
