Ability Changes: The youkai of Gensokyo have command over a great deal of magic, often relating to certain themes. While other forms of magical attack can exist, the most popular and common form is danmaku, a highly scattershot and dense form of magical combat which has been described as "bullet hell" by those who see it. Very specific attacks these days are inscribed onto spellcards, which can be activated once for a more detailed and powerful, yet non-lethal, attack. Ability Limitations: Low. Youkai run the gamut of power levels, from simple command over ice to the ability to create holes in the borders of reality. However, actual lethality is deliberately restrained through the spellcard system. Form Restrictions: There are many different youkai, but they tend to take on humanoid appearances. The more prominent and powerful examples tend to be female, but there is not actually a set rule dictating that someone with powers HAS to be female. They just tend to fight with danmaku more. Social Restrictions: None. Gensokyo is laid back, and anybody who does start an incident usually just gets smacked down by the Shrine Maiden, her friends, or anybody who decides they're tired of a youkai playing silly buggers and goes to take care of it. Note, however, that youkai and human relations, while cordial enough, are still relatively strained, since some youkai have a bad habit of eating people. Notes: Warning: Girls in frilly dresses blowing things up. Warning: There are no buses in Gensokyo. Warning: Paparazzi tengu. Warning: Fairy pranks.
