Cursed Tools (呪具,Jugu?) are weapons and support items used by sorcerers and non-sorcerers that are purposefully imbued with a curse.
Description
Different from cursed objects, cursed tools are weapons infused with cursed energy. Due to this, even non-sorcerers can use them to combat cursed spirits.[1] Conventional weapons such as katana's can become semi cursed tools over time if the user constantly imbues it with their cursed energy. However, weapons new to the user that are reinforced with cursed energy are not considered cursed tools.[2]
As with sorcerers and cursed spirits, cursed tools are categorized from grade one to four based on their power and potency. The higher the grade, the greater the advantage granted to the user in a jujutsu battle.[3] Save for Playful Cloud, all special grade cursed tools are imbued with a cursed technique.[4]
High grade cursed tools are extremely value. Their monetary worth can range from five hundred thousand to upwards of five hundred million yen.[3][5]
"Slaughter Demon" (屠坐魔, Tozama) is a wide-edged knife capable of slicing off Cursed Spirits limbs with ease. It was destroyed in Yuji's battle with a Finger Bearer.
Kasumi Miwa's katana was originally a regular sword, but after imbuing it with Cursed Energy over an extended period of time, it has become close to that of a real Cursed Tool. Despite being unable to cut Hanami, it was able to touch him as proof.
Megumi's primary Cursed Tool was a sword with a jet-black blade Hanami stated to be superior to Kasumi's katana in cutting power. Along with an large assortment of other weapons, Megumi keeps this blade within his own shadow.
Special Grade Cursed Tool: "Playful Cloud" is not imbued with a Cursed Technique, instead it is pure Cursed Power that reflects the user's physical strength.
