Shikigami

Shikigami conjuration is considered to be a type of cursed technique. Like barrier techniques, sorcerers who do not possess enough intrinsic talent for their own innate technique can summon simple shikigami. Shikigami themselves are familiars incarnated by their summoners cursed energy. Summoning shikigami normally requires an intermediary, such as a common talisman. They are generally used to carry out an order in accordance with their conjurer's instructions, and they disappear when the user's technique is released or they are incapacitated.
