Cursed Energy
Non-Physical Interaction - Concepts (type 2) and Void (cursed energy drives even the
form of humanity from possibility and exists between
mind and matter).
Mental Manipulation - Prolonged exposure to cursed energy can erode the mind
[2]
Ressurection - Cursed energy can resurrect
souls and
egos into new
forms until they are exorcised, or their curse is released.
Empowerment - While negative emotions largely power curses and cursed energy, curses and humans can also be empowered by the collective beliefs of humans such as with the
folk god Nanami fought and
Sukuna himself in his prime. This effect can also be used through conduits such as
talismans (which can be used by non-sorcerors).
Sealing - Buddhist Sutras are capable of
sealing away great evil. Additionally, sorcerers can empower themselves through heavenly restriction (as Kokichi did) and being vow (as Hakari did vs Kashimo).
Cursed Techniques
Concept Manipulation (types 2 and 3) - Cursed techniques work by sentient beings utilizing a "
target concept" which can act as the
basis for the technique itself and the
actual target of the
technique. Mahito (with his ability to see the soul) mentions humans being dominated by these
concepts which cause
metabolic configurations in the soul and then body. Sukuna utilized this mechanic of Jujutsu to bypass Gojo's Infinity after learning from Mahoraga, no longer manifesting slashes at where he thought Gojo was, but instead changing his techniques target concept to existence itself, in order to encapsulate Gojo in "that world" and bypass infinity. Type 2 users currently include Gojo's Satoru for
bringing the
concept of Infinity into reality and extending to
mathematic abstracts and control over the
concept/scale of
distance [2] Yuki for breaking a
conceptual framework with strength, bypassing
conceptual defenses, and
ignoring her own concept being targeted, Yorozu for construction of a
conceptual perfect sphere, and Sukuna/Mahoraga for being able to target the concept of existence in order to bypass infinity. Kenjaku's
Ganesha cursed spirit and Anti-Gravity technique could potentially qualify. All other cursed techniques fall under Concept manipulation type 3 unless meeting the criteria.
Cursed Spirits
Aura, (Grade 2 and up) responsible for -
Madness, Manipulation, Empathic manipulation, and Perception manipulation - When fighting a strong grade 2 curse, both Kairi and Mai note the effects of the cursed spirit's aura to make them tremble, lose spirit, and become frightened. This aura is mentioned as capable of making normal people into a nightmarish state. This aura is described as foul and scorching.
Sorceror Resistances
Madness Manipulation/Empathic Manipulation - Sorcerors can resist the aura of sufficiently strong curses which can drive opponents into a frightened and nightmarish state.
Mind Manipulation - Via willpower, Nobara was able to resist charming/compulsion effects from a cursed word user who had amplified his CT via talismans and an improvised domain.
