 
Definition: "Spirit Exorcist" or spiritual manifestations dealer, very often named "medium". This title is very often given to Omnyoujis by people who are unaware of the other implications of Omnyoujistu power due to the reason their medium habilities are the ones that most usually come to light while the others remain hidden to non practitioners.

 
Definition: Spellsī side effects that sooner or later return to the caster. Their intensity is directly proportional to the power of the encantation, and can increase according to the type of spell that produces them and whether is has been missused, misscatsted or mostly when they are the result of a curse.
Explanation: Usually the ones who are the victims of the Sakanagi are those unexperienced practitioners that commit the stupidity of using spells which difficulty level exceeds them, for master Omnyoujis always learn to develope different ways to avoid Sakanagi effects, defflecting them or propperly protecting themselves against them. There is also a kind of guard used against this side effects (also referred to as blacklashes) that is given the same name.

 
Definition: Ancient Clan of Dark Omnyoujis conformed by the inheriting line of the Sakurazuka Family, opposites to the Sumeragi Clan. This name is also given to the assasin that guards the Sakura Barrow and feeds it with the souls of his/her victims.
For more information, please refer to the Sakurazuka Clanīs section.

 
Definition: Spiritual link upside-down pentagram-shaped the Sakurazukamori marks his/her prey with it in order to hunt him/her down.
Use: Very little is known about the further implications the placement of this magical, invisible to non practitioners rune over the huntedīs skin may bring about, and itīs usage procedures are known only to the dark Sakurazuka Clan. The only certainty is that the one who bears this perpetual, unhiddable mark is a chosen victim of the Sakurazukamori assasin, and sooner than later he/she will become a part of the Sakura Barrow. The mark makes it posible for the hunter to find his/her prey wherever he goes, very often intrude in his unconciousness and manipulate it at will, share every thought and every feeling that crosses his mind in order to keep in constant connection with the future victim. It is belived that the mark hides much more power than itīs belived, and grants the one who bears it with certain unkown capacities this never gets to know thanks to the short period he/she has remaint after being marked. The only person known to bear the mark in life is Sumeragi Subaru.
 
Definition: Esoteric language in which the Omnyoujitsu spells are written and spoken.
Use: It requires a deep concentration in order to achieve the correct pronuciation and even the correct breathing rythm to cast a particular enchantment. Sanscrit symbols can be found on the written spells, and itīs phonetic entonation is used on the chants.


Definition: Ceremonial robes used by Omnyoujis to perform certain kinds of rituals.
Branches: It has to be white for the practitioners of white magic, symbolising the purity of their actions and to whom it always has to be immaculated, and evethough there is not a particular colour rule for the Dark Omnyoujis, they usually prefer black.
Characteristics: It often consists on a long robe, adorned with several ceremonial garments such as a mystic collar and the embroidered star of either white or black Omnyoujitsu on the back cloth of the broad-sleeved upper suit. The Shikifuku is considered sacred by the white Omnyoujis, possesing itīs own particular powers, and the one who wears it has to be respected as if he/she was carrying a holy symbol.

 
Definition: An exact translation will be "Ceremonial Spirit", as it is an astral projection that every Omnyouji posseses and represents his very spiritual power, taking the shape of a ghosty animal whose shape and nature goes matching itīs masterīs personality.
Use: The Shiki serves and obeys him as his messager and link, and the Omnyouji can use it to be his eyes and ears, as well as his connection to the spiritual world. A Shikigami can be also used for attacking, and result on a very powerful weapon for it concentrates all the magical power of the Omnyouji who controls it.
Concept: Shikigami projections can be cast using a written spell as well as shaping it out of physichal sources such as smoke, light, etc. and one Omnyouji may have one or multiple Shikis, according to the level of his/her astral strenght. Usually, a powerful one can as well be divided in three to multiply the casterīs spiritual presence in different places.
Characteristics: Places can be protected from Shikigami intrutions, shielding and blocking the reaches of the Omnyoujiīs power by using very complex guards, which effects can driver the master to exhaution when trying to break into the protected territory. Shikigami attacks consume as well an important amount of the ownerīs physichal and spiritual strenght, and every agression directed to his/her astral projection will affect the caster in the same way as if it is a direct agression. That is why mastering a Shikigami shape is one of the most complex techniques in the Omnyoujitsu discipline.
 
Definition: Generic name given to all spiritual manifestations, either death or living spirits, coming from a death human beingīs released soul or not, and with whom the reinoh-roykusha is able to interact.

 
Definition: Very famous Omnyoujitsu family that has acted like Japanīs spiritual guide since almost the beginning of the countryīs history, and is known as the most powerful Omnyoujitsu Clan of existence.

Definition: Specific kind of Ofuda used for summoning spirits.
Use: Omnyoujis can use Summoners for various pourposes, like calling a ghost when it not comes to them, summoning Shikigami proyections, and even bringing back a death spirit that has not being held in ghosty form. Summoners are perhaps the most complex kind of written enchantations, and therefore only expert Omnyoujis can handle them correctly. Amateur practitioners are not allowed to use Summoners until they reach a safe level of knowledge and skill, due to the mortal danger that arising spiritual forces indiscriminatedly brings about. Youma and other demoniac entities can also be summoned through this kind of ofuda.

 
Definition: Evil aura of negative emotional energy surrounding a specific spiritual manifestation, such as a ghost, and which distorts the spiritīs true identity and pourpose.
Explanation: A wraith form is the most common way in which a ghosty form manifestates itself, due to the fact that the reasons which hold a death spirit to the world of the living are most usually non pleasing ones. A wraith veil or mask therefore envelopes the ghost with an aura of wrongness and violence, turning a peaceful spirit into a dangerous and hostile entity, and making the interaction impossible. Ghosts must be therefore divested of their wraith form by the Omnyouji by means of disruptors to gain influence over them.
 
Definition: Certain kind of spiritual aura caused by Dark Omnyoujitsu spells that can only be sensed by advanced practitioners doted with powerful pshychic perceptions. It is often reffered to as "Evil Atmosphere" by white Omnyouji, whose spells produce another kind of aura of a totally different nature.
