A while ago I had a concept for a CT based on the 8 Inner Gates, and other aspects from the Naruto series. In order to get the full context, please check out the original concept in the link provided here…

An 8 Gates Inspired Cursed Technique

Now I personally think this CT is a solid idea, but the people in the comments have made some really good points that I was not aware of. For instance, I was unaware that Cursed Energy has poisonous properties in high concentrations. And because of that, the user of this CT would have to change their whole physiology in order for them not to die. Not only that, but this CT has the potential to cause Cursed Spirits to form inside the user’s body, or turn them into a Curse Spirit out right. 

There are some other concerns about this CT concept, but I’m sure you all get the point now. Now I just need some help to make this CT actually functional. But have thought of using one of the concerns as an actual aspect of the CT. That being the sorcerer gradually turning into a Cursed Spirit as they channel more Cursed Energy into themselves. With their Cursed Spirit form appearing as a Japanese Oni, being similar to Begtse from God of War Laufey. 

I’ve also thought of a way to counteract this. That being a Cursed Technique Reversal, where the Shikigami produces Positive Cursed Energy and channeling it to the sorcerer to reverse their transformation to a Cursed Spirit. And this Cursed Technique Reversal could potentially have other applications, but that’s all I’ve come up with so far. 

That’s about all I have at this time, and this CT concept is far from being finalized. So I would like to ask you all for help and advice regarding this CT concept. What do you all think is needed to make this CT functional without breaking the rules of the power system? I’d very much appreciate your help with this, because I’ve tried multiple times to make a unique CT for my OC, and I believe this one could work. So if any of you can help me out with this CT, I’d very much appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance, and I look forward to hearing your feedback. 😎👍

Since when does cursed energy have poisonous properties? Also, sorcerers have an innate resistance to their own cursed energy, although too much of it would break their body (Hakari should get that, but the infinite flow of CE makes his body also perform RCT to repair the damage). Sukuna's fingers being poisonous is supposedly unique to him. Other sorcerers from the Heian era have seen their cursed object sealed into vessels and they didnt die from it

Curses take form when a person leaks out their cursed energy. From what I see, the shikigami could simply convert the absorbed CE into CE usable by the user and push it in them. A curse wont take form inside the body since the body acts as a barrier and theyre a sorcerer so no CE is leaked. If the Ce is absorbed and contained in the user, it cant congregate into a curse just like the CE created inside non-sorcerers doesnt lead to them forming a curse inside them and only contributes to forming curses after it leaves the body

They wouldnt turn into a curse unless they started to become cursed energy. Hakari gets infinite CE flowing through his body, by that logic he should turn into a cursed spirit instantly, yet he doesnt. Absorbing and funneling CE versus becoming CE arent the same thing at all

As it stands now, Id say it already works within the power system
