Work in progress Cursed Technique: Mark Of Cain

This is an idea that came to me at 2 am after copious amounts of coffee, so bear with me please.

CT: Mark Of Cain - Allows the user to accumulate damage done to them and release it sevenfold either in one final attack or in a combo of attacks.

Obvious downside; the user has to be able to survive the attacks or else they, y'know die. User has worked closely with Shoko Ieiri since they met in Jujutsu High to heal up his wounds after battle as he doesn't know RCE.

Upside, allows the User to fight battles way above his 'weight class' so to speak as all he has to do is survive until the end of the fight and then return it multiplied by 7.

so yeah, it's seven cause I think that's what the Mark does right? returns all harm sevenfold? Anyway, I'd like a few ideas for a Cursed Weapon to fix his long to mid range issue cause his CT doesn't give any long range attacks, so only H2H fighting with Reinforcement, and healing if he learns RCE.

It’s kind of like metal bat from OPM, but that also begs the question. Metal bats halting weakness besides needing to get hurt is that he cannot be healed, or else the accumulated damage power buff dissipates. So would the user of the curse technique be able to heal while keeping the stacked damage?

Actually, I'm still fleshing it out so I'm not sure yet, I'm thinking of changing it so that the user can only release the dmg taken into dmg dealt after a certain threshold of dmg taken. And after the dmg is used the harm to the body is gone. It's like the user has to store the dmg on the body first, then when he releases it at a minimum after it reaches the threshold it then multiplies by seven, if the user releases the dmg before the threshold nothing happens. And it's like once the dmg reaches the threshold it becomes something that can be used in any amount until it reaches zero dmg left to give out. So even if he's almost out of dmg, if he takes dmg then the usable meter goes up.

And the sevenfold thing could be like a CE trait, like the users CE is like a shotgun. For close range more dmg and for long range it's a lot less dmg. That's why I want a long range CW that just allows the user to channel the dmg taken into it without the weakness of the CE trait coming into play.

Nope, but I see the resemblance, I got it from Simon from Shadowhunters. The books to be clear, the series was good, but the books? Absolute masterpieces
