Name: Hechicero
Design: This white mask is face-fitting, with two sharp and prominent eyebrows and a large, single edge splitting the face. With large and shark-like teeth, the mask is fearsome to behold. The only ornamental designs on the mask are two blue eye shadows. The mask's eyes glow bright red.

Spoiler:

Soul Class: Hollow
Skill Requirements:
- Spirit Techniques: 9

Effects: 1.8 x Spirit Power damage
Force: 2.4 x Spirit Power
Cost: 420
Name: Body of the Sorcerer
Soul Class: Hollow
Skill Requirements:

Description: Hechicero provides Kinzo with two unique bodily abilities, the ability to stretch his limbs elastically in order to attack from a range, as well as a hardened skin around his arms that does not break easily.
Effects: Kinzo's physical defense becomes 1 x strength when blocking with his arms. Kinzo also has the ability to elongate his arms, legs, and tail at will, allowing him to strike enemies at a distance.

Please learn to use the "list" BB-code -_-
It's very simple: just put down the word "list" in square parenthesis, and then "[*]" at each place you want to create a bullet (it would be before the "name" field of each power in this template, and before the skills). Either way
Vice Cero

Lacks a cost

Bo-Shin-Ko

Effects don't make sense for it to be the feat of the mask, or in general by the description

Full Bind

How is it Physical/Energy?
How would it deal damage with energy?
If it is a constricting move, you need to put down the conditions for breaking it. See shinigami's bakudou for reference

Okay fixed it. Also, Full Bind is physical/energy because he is essentially drinking the reiatsu, so its a drain effect. Plus theres the physical bind.

1. Cero Azul is ok I guess
2. Remove Bo-Shin-Ko if it doesn't do anything
3. Full Bind is way too powerful. You need to either:

Reduce effects
Reduce force
Increase cost
All of the above

If you went with effect reduction, I'd say remove the damage altogether, and base the drain off a stat
If you went with Force reduction, I'd say make it 0.5 x main stat
If you went with increasing cost, it would have to be at least 5000, seeing as how it deals high damage, has great force, binds with a lot of power and restores your stamina

I like the high cost idea, I mean.. I need something to aspire to right? And Okay, I'll remove the fighting style explanation. I can always make other powers if they pop into my head,

Okay so I re-vamped my hollow's mask. I'm iffy on the price of the final technique. I looked at alot of bakudou techniques which do full binds for longer than this one holds, at a much cheaper cost. But then again this has a similar effect to tousen's bankai, so I don't know all too well where it should be priced. Anyhow, please look over.

You can reduce the Cero's cost to 420, since I reduced the costs for most powers (including normal Cero) recently

As for the pillar thing. Let's see. If someone has the same Spirit Energy as you, and their stats are all equal, they'd have to pull off 15 1x power attacks to destroy the pillar. During that time, they are unable to attack you or defend themselves at all. So even if your speed is the same and they use high-damage powers, you can land several attacks that they will take full damage from. Unless they use all-around defensive powers for 5 posts. In either case, there are three possible outcomes:

They will take a lot of damage, being unable to defend themselves
They will waste more spirit energy than you just to defend themselves, and even then, they could still suffer a bit of damage
They will blind-fire area attacks (if they have any), hoping to hit you or keep you away. They will likely waste more spirit energy than you doing that, and neither avoiding nor dealing any damage is guaranteed

In other words, that power is entirely unbalanced. Also, it isn't a way in which hollows can use spirit energy. If you hadn't noticed, all of their abilities revolve around their bodies and/or direct use of spirit energy to move/attack

Alright I see your point. I editted Hechiseria, now it is an aura-effect similar to well, Barrigan's however rather than aging, it increases the force of gravity in an area. It doesnt have a post limit anymore, however instead costs 500 SE per post active. I figure this is a fair amount, since a level 99 bakudou is also 500SE. Though, is it overpriced? Should I lower it to 420~450 per post?

Surprisingly, this is probably even worse. That ability left some ifs and unsaid things, but this one is just entirely horrible.

Halving one's speed is, well, obvious. It basically makes it two times harder for them to attack and defend
Halving forces basically halves their attack and defense. Yes, it isn't a direct proportion, but you should know that a small difference in force can result in a massive difference in damage. So it's probably even more serious than that, especially seeing as how an attack they would normally be able to block dealing some stamina damage to you would now deal stamina damage to them
If you do anything, you take quite a bit of damage. If you don't, you'll just get pummeled. Even if you do, because of other great penalties, you'd still take more damage than normal in addition to hurting yourself. So there is absolutely no way to avoid taking heavy damage
Physical damage you take is reduced by 1/4. Well, that's pretty basic, but still a lot
You are also immune to ranged attacks, because I doubt anyone will want to pay an extra cost far beyond what you spend for one post of this ability for one attack that is not even guaranteed to hit

No, it isn't overpriced. It's horribly overpowered.

Also, Barragan is an arrancar. They can use spirit energy similar to hollows, but the reverse statement isn't true. Hollows don't have anything like the abilities that arrancar may possess
