Bleach Spell Guide

Demon Arts

Demon arts are spells used by shinigami to do various things such as binding, attacking, and healing. Only upper level shinigami can use them after sufficient training. There are two types of Demon Arts: Bakudou ("binding spell") and Hadou ("blast spell"). Demon Arts are classified by power and difficulty of casting in a numbering scheme from 1 through 99, with power and difficulty increasing with the number. If a shinigami masters demon arts, they will gain the ability to bypass the incantation while casting spells.

Destructive Arts

Destructive Arts are to Quincy, as Demon Arts are to Shinigami, the difference being that Destructive Arts are as they say, they destroy the hollows/targets.

Known Destructive Arts:
Destructive Art #4 - A spell that uses spiritons to form an arrow shot out, for the bow of a Quincy.

Uses:
(Ishida, Uryuu) uses it quite often whenever he uses his bow.

Jigoku Chos (Butterflies From Hell)

Quite Simply; captures and kills the designated target/person.

Shyunpa

A high level shinigami art that allows the user/shinigami to "warp" one's self (entire body) to another place. It requires long training and to be quite powerful to use easily.

Shyunshin Yoruichi (God of Shyunpo)

A very high level shyunpa. Allows user/shinigami to "warp" themselves much further than that of just a basic Shyunpa spell/technique. This requires the user to train much harder and longer, as well as be much more powerful than if he was just able to use the basic Shyunpa spell(s).
