Curtain

A Curtain is a barrier with a large dome-shaped outer shell that hides anything within the barrier from view and lures cursed spirits out from hiding. They are mainly utilized by jujutsu sorcerers to maintain secrecy while exorcising curses. Curtains can be customized with conditions or commissioned onto others using talismans.

Description
A curtain is created with the same general process as any simple barrier. The barrier technique is activated with the incantation: "Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure." (「よりでてよりくそのれをぎえ」). Upon activation, a dark, almost liquid-like matter drips down from the sky to form the outer barrier wall in the shape of a half-sphere. The curtain shifts the sky to nighttime, provoking cursed spirits out of hiding.

Anything within the barrier will be imperceivable from outside view, preventing non-sorcerers from being able to see any jujutsu or cursed spirit activity inside. They will only see the environment as it was from the moment the technique is cast. However, any sorcerer, even windows, can perceive a curtain's black outer shell from the outside.

Curtains can be customized with binding vows to create certain conditions, such as trapping non-sorcerers, blocking out jujutsu sorcerers, or targeting a certain individual. For example, a curtain was used at the Goodwill Event to prevent Satoru Gojo from entering in exchange for allowing all other individuals to enter unimpeded.

As with all barriers, customizing a curtain can be a complex task for a sorcerer or cursed spirit. Using binding vows in tandem with talismans can allow a proficient barrier technique user to commission highly customized barriers to other individuals. They only need to recite the incantation and channel cursed energy into the talismans.

Usage
Satoru Gojo began Yuta Okkotsu's first mission by lowering a curtain around a school where a cursed spirit abducted children. The privacy of the curtain allowed Yuta and Maki to operate in a controlled environment while Satoru awaited them outside. Kiyotaka Ijichi introduced curtains to Yuji Itadori in a similar fashion, lowering one around the Juvenile Detention Center.

Kenjaku guided Mahito on how to create a curtain that he used around Satozakura High School.
