Some Quincy cannot naturally absorb
Reishi from their surroundings to turn into their power, but instead give out their power to others around them,
[14][15] though it is still possible for them to learn Reishi manipulation.
[16][17] They can accumulate power by taking it back after their recipients have grown it.
[15] These Quincy are extremely rare, said to be born once every few decades.
[18] Their inability to create
Spirit Weapons naturally is often misinterpreted as them being failures and, historically, they are killed because of it.
[18] After
Yhwach was born, it took 200 years for another one to be born.
[15] The only known Quincy of this type are Yhwach and
Jugram Haschwalth, whom Yhwach considers to be his "other half".
