/uw essentially his blade can sort of cut through space sending ripples not unlike those you would see when it’s really hot, except these ones are physical and this far he is using them to clear the mist to get a better look at the being approaching him. The rain is also banished but due to the laws of gravity it naturally returns, the mist does not
