Gritz
CharacterGritz, rendered as Five Frame Bonds, is a Gintō technique in the Quincy arsenal. A thrown silver tube releases a film of Reishi that snaps into a person-sized pentagonal Quincy cross, sealing the target inside its frame.
Overview
Gritz is a binding technique that draws on a Gintō, the silver tubes Quincy use to store and unleash prepared effects. When triggered, it captures an opponent within a five-pointed Quincy cross shaped from spiritual particles, holding them in place as the cross forms around their body.
Mechanics
Throwing the Gintō scatters a film of Reishi that wraps around the enemy and locks into the form of a pentagonal Quincy cross large enough to enclose a grown person. The technique is called forth with a chant rendered in English as a silver rod striking against a five-fingered stone bed.
