Quincy Cross

A cross in the shape of the Quincy symbol that only those who have inherited Quincy abilities and techniques are allowed to possess. Standard equipment for any Quincy, the Quincy Cross acts as the focus for a Quincy bow, known as a Heilig Bogen. It is also possible to manifest weapons unique to a user such as a sword. The cross is the standard shape most Quincy Crosses are shaped but each Quincy may have a unique shape such as a pentacle. While wearing one's Reishi Heisō, the Quincy Cross is kept in the vambrace for safety and protection, channeling the Reishi down a Quincy's arm to manifest their Spirit Weapon.

Training
A Quincy must train, usually their whole lifetime, with their Quincy Cross in order to develop their Spirit Weapon. While creating a Spirit Weapon can come naturally to some, Gemischt Quincy have difficulty controlling Reishi that are used to create one's Spirit Weapon. This training involves one week of manifesting a weapon unique to the Quincy and maintaining it for one week. The most common Spirit Weapon created is the Heilig Bogen, or Holy Bow, which fires Heilig Pfeil, or Holy Arrows. There are a few Quincy who have manifested swords, axes, and other weapons as their Spirit Weapon used for combat through this training method.

The last part of the training involves learning basic techniques every Quincy should know for their fighting style. There are several types of fighting styles that a Quincy could take their Spirit Weapon into: Nahkampf, Schwertkunst, and Treffsicherheit. Each of these fighting styles have basic techniques a Quincy must learn to use with their Spirit Weapon for that weapon to be considered viable. Upon meeting the requirements to learn these techniques the weapon is then given the title "Heilig" meaning "Holy" added to its name. After a Quincy completes this training, they are allowed to hunt small Hollows in the human world.
