====Bankai Form====

''{{Anchor|Booster}} ([[Su]]):'' While in Bankai, you may raise one of your enchantment bonuses by +4.  Every 10 levels after 15th (25th, 35th, etc.) you may apply an additional +4 bonus.

''{{Anchor|Defensive}} ([[Su]]):'' While in Bankai, you may reduce all damage taken by 50%.

''{{Anchor|Elemental}} ([[Su]]):'' Your bankai transforms you into an elemental themed creature appropriate for the type you chose (fire for fire, water for cold, elec for wind, and acid for earth).  You gain the Elemental type and all resulting immunities and weaknesses, the movement speeds of an elemental of your HD, and the Weapon Ability associated with each elemental, such as Burn for fire elementals or Whirlwind for wind elementals.  The DC for those abilities are 10 + 1/2 HD + [[Cha]].  In addition just standing around you causes damage, dealing 1d6 elemental damage to any enemy within 10 ft.

''{{Anchor|Environmental}} ([[Su]]):'' A field of energy surrounds you, changing the environment.  Everybody within 60 ft of you falls under a deep magical suppression of light, sound, and smell, granting you total concealment farther than 5 ft. and negating most blindsense, blindsight, and scent, no save.  As long as you hold your weapon, you may ignore the supression effects.  This is a [[mind affecting]] effect.

''{{Anchor|Healing}} ([[Su]]):'' For the duration of bankai you gain a pool of healing equal to 10 hp per class level, which you may apply at a touch identical to the paladin's [[Lay On Hands]] ability.  You may refill your pool of healing by causing damage with the weapon, which restores the pool on a 1 to 1 ratio.  Alternatively if you cast healing spells while bankai is active you fill your pool with harmful energy, which may be applied with a touch (Will half, DC 16 + [[Cha]]).  When you first enter bankai you may decide if your pool starts out full of positive or negative energy.

''{{Anchor|Kido}} ([[Su]]):'' For the duration of bankai, all spells cast may be [[Quickened]] with no adjustment in metamagic cost.

''{{Anchor|Summon}} ([[Sp]]):'' Your weapon transforms into a monster to fight for you.  During this time your zanpaktou vanishes, so it is advised you carry a backup weapon.  Choose a creature whose HD equal to your character level -2.  You gain this creature as a sort of cohort that you summon.  The creature possesses all the shikai-granted spell-like abilities of your zanpaktou, and has either the zanpaktou's mental ability scores, or that of the base creature, whichever is higher.  As you gain levels you may advance your summon appropriately.  The summon is a manifestation of the spirit of your sword.  If slain, it goes quiet for 24 hours, re-appearing as its zanpaktou non-shikai form, and cannot be put in shikai or summoned again for 24 hours.

''{{Anchor|Weapon}} ([[Su]]):'' Your effective weapon size increases beyond the increase granted by shikai.  At level 15, your effective weapon size is now 3 times its actual size, which for a medium shinigami is a gargantuan weapon damage.  For every 10 levels past 15th (25th, 25th, etc) the effective size increases another step.
