Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger
CharacterKirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger is a large-scale Quincy enchantment whose German and Japanese names evoke a holy church hymn and a sanctuary of veneration. It raises a consecrated arena of Reishi that guards its caster while annihilating any enemy who dares set foot inside.
Appearance
Casting the spell projects an immense Quincy Zeichen across the ground, ringed by towering columns of Reishi that erupt in a circular array around its edge. One of those pillars is shaped after the Quincy Cross, while the rest take the form of Hagal runes, together enclosing the ground in a fortress of light.
Personality
The technique is billed as a Quincy's supreme defensive art, one that fuses guarding and striking into a single working. Royd Lloyd presents it as proof that a Quincy's arsenal reaches far beyond the bow and the cross, a sacred field where divine radiance answers any intruder on the spot.
Abilities
To invoke it, the user holds out a hand and sends bands of Reishi inscribed with Roman numerals streaming from all five fingers. Anyone who crosses into the enclosed space is torn asunder where they stand by what the Quincy call the light of God. Both Royd Lloyd and Yhwach have wielded the enchantment.
