For: Shikai
Name: Kage no Shoshitsu(Disappearance of Shadows)
Type: Defensive
Cost: Mild to moderately taxing depending on how long she stays hidden.
Range: Close, but can reappear at a distance five feet away from where she vanished.
Description: This technique is usually used when Kizomaru first releases her zanpakuto to confuse opponents. Aside from that it is used as a means of evading an attack. When she uses this attack it looks as though she's vanished in a similar way a hollow looks when it passes through an object. Kizomaru can stay hidden in the shadows for three to five minutes depending on how much energy she has.
Name: Kage Tensou(Shadow Transfer)
Type: Defensive/passive, only lasts two posts. Cool down of three posts before it can be used again.
Cost: Moderate.
Range: Close.
Description: Kizomaru manipulates the shadows surrounding her and her opponent, coating herself in the thick darkness from head to toe; a thin,visible line of shadows runs from the bottom of this substance and links her opponents shadow with the substance coating her body.
For the duration of two posts, any damage done to Kizomaru is instead done to her opponent.
While there is no way to remove the substance from Kizomaru herself, if her enemy gets the idea to sever the line that connects that substance to their shadow then the technique would dispel and the damage done would affect Kizomaru in the form of the same pain(and if other damage was done, that would transfer as well) the wound would have normally done to her.
The thing is, since the line is shadow based one cannot simply cut it with a physical blade, to sever the line successfully one must use an energy based attack. Or a blade made out of an energy like substance.
Cannot transfer attacks that could/would be fatal, however if the attack would kill her she could make her opponent take half the damage themselves and the technique would immediately wear off.(Excludes damage done to internal organs)
Name: Shadou Supaiku (Shadow Spike)
Type: Offensive.
Cost: Mild to moderate, depending on whether or not she extends the spikes to their full height.
Range: Mid to long distance.
Description: Kizomaru uses this technique by slamming the blade on one of her wakizashi swords into the ground, it creates spikes which form from the shadows on the ground. The spikes rise up from the ground at and towards the opponent, only reaches a total height and distance of five feet, able to reach that height and distance by feeding off of Kizomaru's reiatsu.
Name: Kage Torappu(Shadow Trap)
Type: Passive..? Only one post(enough for one hit), unless the opponent avoids it.
Cost: Mildly taxing.
Range: Long.
Description: Creates a tendril of shadows which attempts to snare the opponent by the ankle. If set while in the shadows, looks like a rope trap; hard to notice but if one looks hard enough they will see it, distinguishable by a small black circle on the ground.
This is a technique which can snare an opponent with the shadows on the ground, usually by the foot and or ankle. It makes it harder for the enemy to get away and easier for direct hits. This attack can be set while she is hidden in the shadows.

For:Bankai
Name: Kage no Shoshitsu(Disappearance of Shadows)
Type: Defensive.
Cost: Mild to moderately taxing depending on how long she stays hidden.
Range: Close, but can appear a distance of ten feet from where she originally vanished.
Description: Used as a means of evading an attack. When she uses this attack it looks as though she's vanished in a similar way a hollow looks when it passes through an object.
In her Bankai Kizomaru can remain hidden in the shadows for five to ten minutes depending on how much energy she has. It's important to note that unless she has to she never stays hidden in the shadows for long.
Name: Kage Souzou(Shadow Creation)
Type: Passive
Cost: Moderately taxing.
Range: Long.
Description: Kizomaru masks her reiatsu in the form of a shadow which spreads ten feet before her. Because the shadow is just her reiatsu masked and not the result of a body intercepting light, light cannot remove the shadow;Can only be used once per release of Bankai.
Name: Nigiri no Kage (Shadow grip)
Type: Passive.
Cost: Moderately taxing.
Range: Long.
Description: Summons multiple tendrils of shadows from the shadows on the ground that attempt to grab and pin the enemy in place.
This is a more powerful version of Kage Torappu in which Kizomaru can bind enemies with the shadows, and since all shadows are under her control she can use the shadows on the inside of an opponents clothing to bind them and render them unable to move at all, but if the enemy spikes their reiatsu they can fend off the binding effects and rarely does Kizomaru use that aspect of this ability unless she plans an assassination type of strategy for her opponent.
Name: Shadou Tsuki no Burasuto(Blast of the Shadow Moon)
Type: Offensive.
Cost: Complete drain.
Range: Long.
Description: This technique is Kizomaru's most powerful,she uses it by holding her bishamon yari out in a vertical position in front of her and places her left palm on the back of it's blades.
Concentrating her spiritual energy into one powerful blast, she releases it through the crescent moon shaped blades on her bishamon yari.
The blast created is wide, about three feet to start, however as it travels it gathers the surrounding shadows, allowing it to reach a maximum of ten feet in width before striking the enemy.
Due to the width it makes it a hard attack to dodge but not impossible, also this drains Kizomaru of an exceptional amount of reiatsu, leaving her in a weakened state after use.
The toll it takes on her energy is the reason why this attack is a last resort, for if it does little to no good it leaves her too exhausted to continue the fight.
