Gintō

Gintō are small containers which Quincy use to store their Reiryoku. They are utilized as components in Quincy spell casting, resembling Kidō. As their name suggests, Gintō are small silver tubes, approximately 5 centimeters in size. By condensing their Reiryoku into a liquid state, Quincy can store it within the tubes. Despite being considered antiquated tools, they allow Quincy to perform special techniques powerful enough to subdue Hollows, though their effectiveness is dependent on the user. These various attacks are triggered when the stored liquid Reiryoku is released. Like Kidō, some of them are activated by calling out various commands.

Training
First, a Quincy must be recognized as a practitioner in the art of Quincy spell casting before they are given permission to utilize Gintō. Then, a Quincy must learn to condense their Reiryoku into a liquid state to store it within the capsules. This process is taught and expanded upon for a twenty-four-hour period in order to perfect the process. Finally, a Quincy is tasked with depleting all of their Reiryoku to fill as many capsules as possible with their liquid Reiryoku. This process is often coupled during recurring Leiden Hant practice in order for a Quincy to fully exhaust themselves in order to gain more from their experiences rather than filling containers in excess.

Secondly, a Quincy will be put through active and controlled environments and situations in order to learn how to utilize Gintō during and outside of combat effectively. A Quincy must complete two weeks in each environment successfully before their training is considered complete. Gintō spells are often used as supportive spells more than offensive spells as some require both an incantation and, in some cases, a specific amount of Gintō. However, these spells are oftentimes more powerful than the common Quincy spells as some are able to completely destroy Hollows with little effort if used offensively. As support, they are seen as some of the strongest defensive spells possible that a Quincy can learn.
