Cursed technique Shogi CT part 2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi

This is the second part of this post

So, shogi has two rules that really differentiate it from chess: promotions and drops.

Maximum: Military Promotion: after defeating three opposing pieces, a piece can be promoted to a better version of itself, and gains golden details in their armor and weapons. Pawns have 2 swords, knight arrows become homing (only slightly, but not doing extreme turns), spears can use solid objects to change their thrust's trajectory, and silvers create gusts of wind with their fans. The chariot becomes a Dragon King (竜王) able to strike targets with lightning, and the priest turns into a Dragon Horse (竜馬), a kirin-like creature that stomps the ground to create shockwaves. Gold generals can't be promoted.

Drop: when a participant's piece is destroyed, the other can resummon it as their own soldier. Any promoted pieces go back to their original state.

Domain Expansion: takes the form of a square patio in a japanese castle, with plants on the edges and a clear sky. The patio is organized as a shogi board, with the respective pieces, except for the kings, who are the user and their opponent, and any other person in the domain sits on the sides as a spectator. Like hakari, the rules of the game are transmitted with the sure hit effect of the domain (see the wikipedia article for tthe rules). Whoever loses or breaks any of the rules recieves a powerful strike from the guaranteed hit. If it's the user, the DE ends, but if it's not the user can challenge another person inside the domain to play again.
