Okay party people, I’ve came up with an awesome concept! I’ll try to keep it brief since nobody wants to read a wall of text, but it’s basically this threads equivalent of Hamon. I know the SoS universe has Plunge, but considering the lore of it and when the thread takes place, it might not make sense to include it, but it’s up to you guys if we should.
Anyway, it’s called Rumble, and like Hamon channeling the energy of the Sun, Rumble channels the tremors of the Earth. Instead of specific breathing techniques, it relies on specific stances, and standing in proper Rumble form allows you to channel small tremors and vibrations from the Earth and store them to power attacks. It also has a bunch of other uses, like firing vibrations like bullets, distorting sound, and increasing speed drastically if a person runs with proper technique (think like Sandman does in SBR!) At high levels of training, you can also release massive amounts of power for small earthquakes, or send tremors directly into specific areas of a person or object to attack it (destroy just the wheels of a cart, or send vibrations straight to a persons heart, for example)
Okay, that was a little longer than I intended but I hope people read it and give feedback, I’ll probably get the thread up sometime this week since it seems we’re sorted on ideas pretty much.
Shiver, I hate to say this, but Hamon can already do that, and it has before. It's technically more focused on power as a whole than specifically against the undead, but that is still very much just something Hamon can do, I do like it though.

Dang, my original thought was one that relied on stances and straight lines as like an opposite to Spin but I thought it was too similar and also couldn’t relate a reasonable power to it. I’ll keep thinking on one, my main thing is that Plunge felt very spiritual and close to Stands (by design though), but Hamon and Spin rely on just straight anatomy and mathematics and I think that non-magical side of it is really cool.

I mean, it was still a good idea. Plunge is more spiritual, Spin is more physical and mathematical, while Hamon is a combination of both. You should try to create something that makes that cuts that same line between both physical and spiritual. The first was good, but I know you got this dude.

Okay okay I’ve got another, it’s work in progress but distinct enough to stand out, also is very scientific which is fun! (It also has a lot of Jojo bizarreness to it)
Ability Name: Aroma Ability Description: By learning a very specific pattern of rubbing one’s skin (Usually their palms or knuckles for punches), a practitioner can activate the natural oils that human skin secretes and trap scents with it. The chemical make up of the smells trapped can cause a variety of effects, and different methods of skin stimulation can unlock oils that pick up certain scents better than others, so most effects can be used at all times unless in a particular pungent area. If a lot of nice smells are trapped on the skin, when the oils make contact with damaged tissue, the cells are stimulated to regrow and are repaired. In an opposite manner, overwhelmingly negative smells can cause cell decay, or at least knock opponents out if the attack makes contact.
It’s totally insane but it’s definitely unique, also means we’ve got a way to heal since we usually lack healers in these threads, despite Jojo having one in almost every part. Tell me what you think!
I do like the sound of that, it's uniquely spiritual and scientific, and it has all the makings of a good system. I like it. But that's just my opinion.

That's awesome, although I have a hard time visualizing it at the moment.
Yeah I get that, I think I’m going to change it so that the specific method of activating the oils in the skin is what triggers the scents, just to streamline it a bit more as trapping scents and then releasing them is very constraining and doesn’t actually make much sense if it’s producing a whole effect. I could even just have it be that the oil produced is what creates the effect and and crop out the whole smell part, I’ll keep thinking.

TL;DR: Rub skin, oil trap scents, smell magic.

Perhaps its that certain sensory signals of any kind can have a psychic or psychosomatic effect. Have you ever read the book Snowcrash?
