Graven Fel
The Quincy's eyes narrowed as he watched his opponent cloud himself in smoke, hiding his presence as he sent ashes and his signature cancer-stick runoff at Shane. With his mouth covered the way it was, it wasn't too unbearable. The heat stung and aggravated his burns, and if it wasn't for his Ransotengai, he'd have probably lost quite a bit of his mobility. Speaking of his threads...
It seemed as if Sumoki was attempting to use his ashes to burn away his Ransotengai, the ashes reaching the threads controlling his swords well before they reached his body. Snarling, Shane would Hierenkyaku backwards to avoid the ashes sweeping upwards, building up reishi at the shoulder and aiming into smoke, firing off Licht Regen again and flooding the area that the damn Shinigami was hiding in with arrows. Thing is, he had heard that last comment and focused on that specific trajectory, filling any space Sumoki could move to with a hail of death.
On top of that, he allowed his swords to go slack, dropping them before aiming them upwards in a manner surrounding himself, ready to react if the man tried to come in close. You see, it was clear that the Shinigami didn't understand Ransotengai, and it wasn't necessarily his fault. It was one of the rarest Quincy abilities, designed to allow the archers to fight well past their prime. Shane simply had an incredible level of mastery with it, and had managed to expand his usage of it beyond simply his own body. The most important factor, however, is the fact that it was made up of the spiritual matter and energy that a Quincy commands, which wasn't necessarily something one could burn away and destroy. Even as he began to use his threads to cover his wounds externally and link them to his lungs to force them to expand and contract, Shane idly pondered how this would end.
Would this be a good death, should he lose?

- Abilities Used:
- Ability Name: Improved Reishi Blades
Ability Description: Shane is now capable of forming various swords and daggers out of the reishi he collects at a greater rate. One of them may be Zanpakuto-strength, up to three of them may act as a Seele Schneider (up to ten per thread, shared with the original ability), and the rest are as strong as tool steel. There are now a maximum of fifteen blades at any given time, and each of them are able to be controlled using Ransotengai or fired at Bala-level speed from his bow.
Ability Name: Sklaverei
Ability Description: This technique uses the most basic ability to gather Reishi in the most powerful way: by enslaving it. It can literally tear away the components that make up spiritual objects, such as those that make up Hueco Mundo and Soul Society. While active, the user gains x2 to Reishi Absorption (Reiryoku). This ability is much like a Vizard's mask, being active for 8 posts before a 3 post cooldown.
Immense Spiritual Power: After the Letzt Stil is released, the Quincy is engulfed in a tremendous and powerful blue aura, which is actually their Reiatsu being released. Mayuri was shocked at how Uryū's Reiatsu "inflated". Theoretically, the aura can be any color, depending on the character.
Hirenkyaku Augmentation: A practitioner's Hirenkyaku is much faster, allowing Uryū to get a shot on Mayuri with relative ease. Using Hirenkyaku in conjunction with their augmented arrows, a Quincy in Letzt Stil becomes a deadly opponent to all but the most powerful combatants, for they are now at least stronger than a captain.
Ransōtengai: This is a high level technique that allows the user to control their body parts using strings of spirit energy controlled by their brain, forming lines or strings out of countless spiritrons. By using this technique, the user can control their body as one would a puppet, allowing them to move freely despite paralysis, broken limbs, or any other force that would impede normal movement. It was originally created to allow elderly Quincy to fight effectively, and is rare enough that Mayuri had never encountered a Quincy (out of the 2661 that he examined or studied) who could use it before Uryū.
Dislocated joints and broken bones are meaningless against this technique. Mayuri stated it as "the most powerful technique for the Quincy," but he did not know of the Quincy Final Form, which means as far as Mayuri knew it was the strongest.
Blut Arterie: This doubles the power of normal arrows for a Quincy at a reduced fire rate. The fire rate is reduced by half. Be warned, both Bluts have a 7 post duration with a 3 post cooldown. Also note that one or the other can be learned by a single quincy, not both. Also note they cannot be used in fatigue state.
Licht Regen - A quincy who has mastered this ability is capable of firing a giant wave of hundred of quincy arrows at full power all at once. Where as normally a quincy can fire several dozen arrows quickly this ability exceeds that usual limit. This is able to be done once per two posts.
Using every sword possible.
Boosts: x3 All, x5 Reiryoku/Reishi Absorption
