Sage Art: Sephiroth

Sage Art: Sephiroth (生命の樹, Sefirosu, lit. "Tree of Life") is a collaboration between the Kekkei Tōta Power Release and Kekkei Genkai Wood Release made possible only via Dragon Sage Mode, allowing for the creation of red, lightning-esque trees.

The ability starts off through spawning Seeds of Light which can be planted in any spot to "take root". They can also take root in human bodies, where they can be implanted, enabling Yūmei to control them via a powerful hypnosis. The seeds can also be dropped into a surface to grow vines, which can then be used as a trap to entwine foes or as stepping stones to cross normally-uncrossable terrain. The seeds also have the power to grow into trees so as to utilize many tree-like forms for attack and defense.

Etymology
Sephirot (/ˈsɛfɪrɒθ/; Hebrew: סְפִירוֹת‎ Səphîrôṯ, pronunciation), meaning emanations, are the 10 attributes/emanations in Kabbalah, through which Ein Sof (The Infinite) reveals himself and continuously creates both the physical realm and the chain of higher metaphysical realms (Seder hishtalshelus). The term is alternatively transliterated into English as Sefirot/Sefiroth, singular Sephirah/Sefirah etc.

Alternative configurations of the sephirot are given by different schools in the historical development of Kabbalah, with each articulating different spiritual aspects. The tradition of enumerating 10 is stated in the Sefer Yetzirah, "Ten sephirot of nothingness, ten and not nine, ten and not eleven". As altogether 11 sephirot are listed across the different schemes, two (Keter and Daat) are seen[by whom?] as unconscious and conscious manifestations of the same principle, conserving the ten categories[citation needed]. In Kabbalah the functional structure of the sephirot in channeling Divine creative life force, and revealing the unknowable Divine essence to Creation is described.
