Capabilities
The user can construct blade weapons, including daggers, swords, etc., out of spiritual energy. Due to the special properties spiritual energy possesses, it is not bound to limitations of other elements making it very versatile. As it is part of the user, life-force that composes the weapon is easily manipulated/shaped to change the weapon's shape and attributes, adapting to the situation at hand.

Since the blade is made of life energy, its sharpness can be impossibly high compared to other types of blades or be reduced to a blunt but powerful weapon to cause smashing damage. Depending on the spiritual energy, skill and concentration, it can be used to distort and cut through dimensions, or potentially anything, such as deities and an alternate universe.
