Clayman/Abilities and Gear

Abilities
Clayman, being weaker than the other Moderate Harlequin Alliance members, was created with better brainpower and information management, which made him more suited for the role of a commander and strategist.

Unique Skills

 * Manipulator
 * Marionette (操り人形)
 * This ability allows to forcibly take control of his subordinate's physical body against their will, also allowing to effectively observe the surroundings from a bird's point of view.
 * Leyline Manipulation (地脈操作)
 * The user can collect intelligence through the naturally occurring ley lines using electric signals and geomagnetism.
 * Information Encryption
 * Manipulator's primary ability. It can convert information into encrypted communications as it conducted surveillance over a wide area. Deploying a member of his team to an area allowed them to function as his eyes and ears to gather intelligence. And could also be used to encrypt the information of things the users sees to more easily analyze/decipher them.

Intrinsic Skills

 * Magic Resistance (魔法耐性)
 * Resistance type skill that reduces the effects of Elemental Magic under a certain threshold to be negligible.

Extra Skills

 * Ultraspeed Regeneration (超速再生)

 * Magic Sense (魔力感知)
 * Allows the user to observe the interactions between Magicules and the matter around them to create a mental image of their surroundings.
 * Magic Manipulation (魔力操作)
 * Allows the user the ability to directly interfere with someone else's magicules and disrupt their abilities, while also dramatically improving the user's precision in manipulating magicules.

 * Physical Attack Resistance (物理攻撃耐性)
 * Resistance type skill that reduces the effects of physical attacks (Slashing, Piercing, Blunt, etc.) under a certain threshold to be negligible.
 * Spiritual Attack Resistance (精神攻撃耐性)
 * Resistance type skill that reduces the effects on the mind/spirit under a certain threshold to be negligible.
 * Abnormal Condition Resistance (状態異常耐性)

Battlewill

 * Magic Bullet (魔力弾)
 * The user gathers their aura and surrounding magicules to form a dense ball of energy before firing at their target. One of the most basic arts but extremely versatile and scales to the users power.
 * Maximum Magic Bullet (極大魔力弾)
 * The user gathers an intense amount of Aura into a magic bullet. It is capable of destroying a rather large area and completely obliterating the target's body.

Elemental Magic

 * Weakening Magic


 * Mental Magic
 * Demon Marionette (操魔王支配)
 * The ultimate dominating magic in Clayman's arsenal, capable of controlling even Demon Lord level entities such as Ninehead. Summons ominous strings of black light streamed from both his hands and wraps themselves completely around the target's body and attempt to takeover their spirit placing them under the user's control.
 * Demon Dominate (支配の呪法)
 * Similar to Demon Marionette, this ability allows Clayman to place the target's mind and body completely under his control.
 * Marionette Heart (支配の心臓)
 * A magic heart-replacing device that turns the receiver into a Majin. In return, the caster keeps the original heart of the receiver, allowing them to kill the target easily. Additionally, it emits encrypted information through electronic waves that allows the user full monitoring of the receiver without being noticed.


 * Illusion Magic
 * Channeling (想像共有)
 * Magic that allows the user to telepathically share ideas similar to Thought Communication.
 * Magic Sensor (魔法感知)
 * Magic that allows the user to detect magical elements in the air, usually used in conjunction with Magic Sense.

 * Enhancement Magic
 * Strength (筋力増強)
 * Magic that greatly raises the physical strength of the target.


 * Other Magic
 * Magic Call (魔法通話)
 * Magic that allows for one-way alternating telepathic communication from long distances, similar to a walkie-talkie.

Others

 * Demon Blaster (龍脈破壊砲)
 * Using the energy from his pseudo awakening, Clayman can fire a massive blast of magical energy. The ley lines gathered around the world with the addition of his own magicules allows the pulse of the earth to be transformed into blasts of disturbance effect to attack the enemy. Blasts projected from Demon Blaster rise from the ground like a flying dragon. Anyone caught in it would have their arrangement of magicules thrown into chaos, destroying them from the inside out. Physical resistance would be useless, and even a magical Barrier would be instantly smashed.


 * Marionette Dance (踊る人形達)
 * Allows the user to manipulate golems bearing the souls and abilities of Majin as if they were an extension of the users body. Due to their nature as golems, the dolls can regenerate from any damage as long as their Spiritual Body is intact.


 * Marionette Rush
 * One of Clayman's ultimate aggressive combat moves. In his Crazy Pierrot form, Clayman fires a beam of Demon Marionette energy towards his opponent, and binds them completely, thereby restricting any movements and follows it up by throwing his weapons, including his shield towards them.

Equipment

 * Crazy Pierrot Mask
 * As a member of Moderate Harlequin Alliance, Clayman also wore a mask in order to share suffering and stand in solidarity with his master. He always carries it with him in the inner pocket of his tailcoat. The Crazy Pierrot Mask is a symmetrical mask of white color with long black maniacal smile and spiteful eyes. On the forehead of the mask a crescent symbol is present.


 * Orb of Domination (支配の宝珠)
 * High class artifact hand made by "that person". Powerful artifact enhanced by great amount of Clayman's magicules, that is able to control creatures whose power can be compared to Demon Lord. In the anime adaptation, the Orb of Domination is put into a necklace, while in manga adaptation it is put into a wrist bracelet.


 * Demon's Ring (魔王の指輪)
 * A ring that is given to each member of the Demon Lord Council. It allows to make "Cross-Spacetime Communication" with other Demon Lords. It has the secret call function for individuals, and also the ability to make a group call. With Demon's Ring, it is possible to make calls even from "Infinity Prison".


 * Various Rare and Unique Grade Weapons

Unique Skills

 * Regressor
 * Unique Skill awakened by Clayman while being killed by Rimuru Tempest on Walpurgis Banquet. The Skill sends the user to a certain point in the past with their memories of their time before their death, creating a time loop where they are sent to the same point from where the loop began. This allows the user to make changes in their existing loop to alter the timeline.

Arts

 * Demon Thread (龍脈操魔糸)
 * A technique that uses the Unique Skill Manipulator to inject Mental Magic directly into the target's body, bypassing Spiritual Attack Resistance and allowing them to put them under their control. Clayman came up with this technique after reflecting on Demon Marionette's inability to control Milim.


 * Martial Dance (操演武踊)
 * A technique that makes full use of Manipulator to assist the user in physical combat. First visual information is gathered from the immediate area, giving the user a complete three-dimensional perspective of their opponent; and then secondly, movement instructions are converted into data and sent to the users body. Using this method allows the user to perform any physical action with complete precision and increase their bodies speed and reaction time.
