Invocation of the Wavering Shadow

This technique allows the user to construct a mental block in order to protect their mind from invasion, which was originally used by ancient mystics to protect themselves from being controlled by Yūgure. This is accomplished by sectioning off a portion of the user's consciousness at the moment they are inflicted with the invasive technique. Therefore, the user of this technique is able to protect the whole of their mind against invasion and instead lead the would-be invader into a mental plane designed to delay the enemy. In this plane both the enemy and the mental projection of this technique's user will meet in what appears to be a shadowy environment, where the invader will be expected to overpower the mental projection to complete their technique. In this case overpowering boils down to defeating the mental projection in combat. Since the invader's technique isn't activated until they have bypassed the mental projection of this technique, any special effects of the invasive ability aren't initially activated. Furthermore, if at anytime the invader breaks Invocation of Wavering Shadow they will also forcibly cancel their own technique. Additionally, since the invader only meets with a mental projection of their intended target, their true target is still able to operate freely while using this technique, allowing them to work on protecting themselves against the impending invasion through other means.
