Cursed Spirit Manipulation
One sorcerer, an endless army of nightmares at their command.
Cursed Spirit Manipulation is the Cursed Technique of Suguru Geto: it lets him absorb natural curses, which turn into black orbs he must eat, and command them afterwards. This turns the sorcerer into a living arsenal, commanding a spectral army that ranges from mindless beasts to sentient Special Grade threats. It shifts combat from individual duels to strategic domination, transforming the very monsters that haunt humanity into tools for survival or conquest. The technique is historically tied to Suguru Geto and later Kenjaku, who assumed Geto's identity.

Lore & Background
Cursed Spirit Manipulation relies on a grotesque symbiosis: the sorcerer must physically swallow a Cursed Spirit to seal it within their body. Each entity retains its unique abilities but bends to the user's command. Suguru Geto, a Special Grade sorcerer, built up a vast stock of curses with it; in Jujutsu Kaisen 0 he threatens to release a thousand of them on the city. His ultimate technique, Maximum: Uzumaki, combines many curses into one devastating attack and extracts their techniques for a single use. After Geto's death Kenjaku, in Geto's body, uses the technique to absorb Mahito and wield his soul manipulation.
Reader's Guide
Cursed Spirit Manipulation functions by allowing the user to absorb Cursed Spirits into their body, storing them as a reserve of power. Stronger spirits have to be defeated before they can be absorbed. In combat, the user can deploy these spirits individually or in groups. Each spirit retains its original abilities, whether it be physical enhancement, elemental attacks, or specialized curses. The user acts as a tactician, directing the swarm to flank, distract, or overwhelm opponents.
