Spiritual Tripping

Spiritual Tripping (霊的蹴たぐり) is a form of Magic which is a specialty of Aleister Crowley and his master Allan Bennett.

Etymology
The Japanese term ketaguri is a sumo term referring to a type of ankle sweep.

Principles
Spiritual Tripping is a technique which links the user's body to a target's body in a way similar to a and synchs up their motions. However, rather than similar manipulating their body, it allows the user into their target's mind. Using their gestures to indicate weapons, the users forcibly drives images into the target's mind along with the power associated with them, allowing them to manifest illusory weapons which cause the same effects as real ones.

When utilized, the user forms a gesture relating to the weapon they wish to use against their target. Several small numbers scatter from their hand like sparks, then the indicated weapon manifests, though it is only visible to the one who is being targeted.

Known manifested weapons and their associated number include:
 * Twisted silver wand (mimicking the Blasting Rod): 28, 4, 29
 * Flintlock pistol: 32, 30, 10
 * Claymore: 1, 27, 5
 * Rapier: 13, 5, 32
 * Shields, Bows: Numbers not known.
 * Big Bang Bomb (ビッグバン爆弾): Number not known.
 * Gamma knife: Number not known.

Background
During Aleister Crowley's time in the Golden Dawn, he was taught this form of magic by his teacher Allan Bennett. When he decided to destroy the cabal in order to change the fate of his future daughter, on his teacher's prompting, he shot him using a weapon manifested through the very magic he taught him. In the subsequent conflict which Aleister started through the Battle of Blythe Road, he used Spiritual Tripping to strike down the members of the Golden Dawn, cursing them to either die or live a life with all of their choices doomed to failure. In accordance with the rules he set, he would eventually turn his own blade and the curse upon himself.

Aleister Crowley Arc
On December 11th, shortly after Kamijou Touma's group entered the Windowless Building, Aleister made use of a Spiritual Tripping-based attack to scatter them. Aleister Crowley made extensive use of Spiritual Tripping, supporting by the power of the Blasting Rod and his technique of using 'sparks' produced by phase collisions from his magic, during his subsequent battle with Touma.

Processor Suit Arc
Aleister made skilled use of Spiritual Tripping during the confrontation with A. O. Francisca (a Coronzon-possessed Karasuma Fran) and her Mimetic Predators. After annihilating the Mimetic Predators with a Spiritual Tripping Big Bang Bomb, Aleister made use of the magic to surgically remove Coronzon from Fran mid-fight.

Trivia

 * The numbers accompanying weapons manifested through Spiritual Tripping have all been between 1 and 32, and in groups of three. Assuming that order is important, there are 32,768 combinations which can be produced by these values.
