   Cursed Energy is the foundational supernatural power in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. It is spiritual energy born from negative human emotions like fear, grief, anger, hatred, and envy. Almost all humans leak small amounts of it unconsciously. When it accumulates in places tied to stress or trauma, it ferments and manifests as Cursed Spirits.

   For Non-Sorcerers: It leaks outward, creating curses. For Jujutsu Sorcerers: They control and channel it internally (like generating electricity). Proper control requires emotional regulation and training—raw CE can be used for blunt force or reinforcement, but it's most effective when fueling techniques. Key Properties: Varies by person (amount based on talent, not just emotions). Can be sensed as pressure/intimidation. Leaves "residuals" for tracking. Strong users have immense output; elite sorcerers distribute it evenly for unpredictable fights. Advanced Uses: Reinforcement for physical combat, barriers, tools, or blasts. Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT) multiplies negative energy to create positive energy for healing (rare, high skill required). Sometimes, people can have Heavenly Restrictions, either giving them zero cursed energy but physical prowess, or giving them tons of cursed energy but with the loss of limbs, sensitive skin, a lot of pain.

   Cursed Techniques are abilities powered by Cursed Energy. Most sorcerers are born with one Innate Technique engraved in the brain's right prefrontal cortex (manifests ~age 5-6). They act like "appliances" that process CE via mathematical formulas.

   Activation: Lapse (forward rotation): Standard use. Reversal (reverse rotation): Produces positive energy (e.g., healing).

   Types: Innate Techniques: Unique, hard to copy (e.g., Limitless, Ten Shadows). Barrier Techniques: For domains, veils/curtains. Shikigami: Summoned entities (e.g., via Ten Shadows). Others: Simple Domain, New Shadow Style, etc.

   Domain Expansion: Ultimate technique—creates a barrier-enclosed space where the user's technique is guaranteed to hit (or amplified). Often has sure-hit effects; clashing domains is high-level. Hand Signs/Incantations: Boost power but skilled users minimize them.

   Common Example: Flow CE into a technique for specific effects (slashes, manipulation, etc.). Overuse drains CE; burnout is possible.

   Jujutsu Sorcerers are rare humans who can see, control, and use Cursed Energy/Techniques to exorcise Cursed Spirits. Trained at Tokyo or Kyoto Jujutsu High (technical colleges). They work in secrecy under Jujutsu Headquarters to protect non-sorcerers.

   Grades: Special Grade (strongest) down to Grade 4. Assessed by CE amount, technique, and combat skill. Big Three Clans: Gojo, Zenin, Kamo — influential, traditionalist families emphasizing bloodline techniques. Curse Users: Sorcerers who use powers for crime/evil (e.g., Geto’s group). Non-Sorcerers: Normal people; some are "Windows" (can see curses but not fight). Key Rules: Strict regulations. Missions involve investigating/exorcising curses. High risk of trauma/death; many detach emotionally.

   Training: Focus on CE control, combat, and technique mastery. Students get field experience.

   Cursed Spirits are beings born from accumulated negative emotions. They are invisible to most humans and harm non-sorcerers easily. Graded similarly to sorcerers (Special Grade = disaster level).

   Manifestation: From fear/stress in populated areas. Abilities: Often tied to their origin (e.g., disaster-themed). Use CE for attacks. Notable Groups: Disaster Curses (Mahito, Jogo, Hanami, Dagon) — intelligent and powerful antagonists. Finger Bearers, etc. Exorcism: Only possible with CE-infused attacks or techniques. Cursed tools help.

   Vengeful Spirits: Stronger curses from powerful negative deaths (e.g., Rika).

   Satoru Gojo (Strongest Modern Sorcerer): Limitless (Infinity barrier, Blue/Red/Hollow Purple) + Six Eyes (perfect CE perception/efficiency). Playful, revolutionary teacher. Yuji Itadori: Superhuman strength/speed from Sukuna's vessel. Divergent Fist. Learns Black Flash. Host to Ryomen Sukuna. Megumi Fushiguro: Ten Shadows Technique (shikigami like Divine Dogs, Mahoraga). Adoptive son of Zenin clan. Nobara Kugisaki: Straw Doll Technique (resonance via nails/doll for ranged damage). Ryomen Sukuna (King of Curses): Shrine (Dismantle/Cleave slashes). Immense CE, regeneration, Malevolent Shrine domain. Ancient evil. Others: Yuta Okkotsu: Copy (via Rika) + immense CE. Maki Zenin: Heavenly Restriction (no CE, superhuman physicals like Toji). Suguru Geto: Cursed Spirit Manipulation. Kento Nanami: Ratio Technique (7:3 weak point). Panda: Cursed Corpse with multiple cores.

   Clans/Supporting: Zenin (traditional, misogynistic), etc. Antagonists like Kenjaku (body-hopping).

   Black Flash: Critical hit when CE impacts within 0.000001s of a physical strike (amps power dramatically). Binding Vows: Self-imposed restrictions for power boosts (or penalties if broken). Heavenly Restriction: Trade-off at birth (e.g., no CE for godlike body, or vice versa). Cursed Tools/Objects: Weapons infused with CE (e.g., Playful Cloud, Sukuna's Fingers). Barriers: Curtains hide battles; Domains are offensive versions.
