Requiem of madness (狂来の鎮魂歌, Kyōrai no Chinkonka) is the magic developed by Arachne in order to transform herself into madness.[1]
Overview[]
This magic allows the user to transform themselves into madness, taking the form of physical darkness that makes up the body, gives intangibility, and spider-like abilities (due to being a magic from Arachne) that includes creating offensive webs, casting their soul into a spiderweb in order to infect others with madness at a wide wage,[2] and even potentially attune themselves and absorb the kishin, Asura.[3] Among other skills allows the user to utilize madness techniques such as Madness Attack.[3]
Weaknesses[]
Despite the advantages, this magic comes with a severe weakness; a opponent with great soul-sensing abilities and wavelength control capabilities (i.e soul's paino) can transmit their own wavelength. If the opponent also has a Anti-Demon Wavelength, they can force the others to take a physical form in which can be harmed and/or killed.[4]
Notes[]
- Soul Eater x Soul Eater Not! confirms "Requiem of Madness" to be a skill used by Arachne.
Trivia[]
- While in this form, the darkness in which makes up the body is described as being a "requiem of madness" that is apparently sung to those whom are intended to be the victims.[1]
