Summary
Sagume Kishin (稀神サグメ Kishin Sagume) is a reclusive, high-ranking official on the Moon. Due to her power to reverse any situation by merely speaking of it, she is similar to an Amanojaku, but instead of acting contrarily, the world acts contrarily in response to her words. While she can be tentatively classified as a Divine Spirit, but her true nature is not that of a God.

Key: Physical World | Nameless Form
Name: Sagume Kishin
Origin: Touhou Project
Gender: Female
Age: Predates reality itself
Classification: Lunarian, Goddess, Amanojaku
Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (Her sense of smell is superior to that of a dog's and she can smell death), Magic, Extrasensory Perception (Magic users are sensitive to changes in temperament[1]), Flight, Danmaku, Spirit Manipulation, Power Modification (Spell card users are capable of changing the traits of any attack or ability by naming it, being able to turn ordinarily lethal attacks into nonlethal ones, or severely restricting the potency of an ability by 'gameifying' it[2][3]), Acausality (Type 4; Exists within the Hakurei Barrier[4], which created a world with a different flow of time[5] and different physical laws[6]. Should be comparable to those who can act normally inside Eientei, which exists outside of time and causality[7][8]), Acrobatics, Causality Manipulation (Whenever Sagume talks of a situation, that situation will reverse itself; for example, a crisis that she speaks of will resolve itself, and a plan she speaks of will fail), Reality Warping (Sagume created an Occult Ball, which shapes the world based on people's words and causes urban legends to manifest and become reality. Her words can change reality by twisting the truth), Subjective Reality (She can change lies into truth), Existence Erasure, Information Manipulation (Type 2; Can manipulate truth[9][10][11], a kind of information that controls reality[12], and in doing so can control the existence and non-existence of things[13]), Non-Physical Interaction (Can harm Phantoms and Evil Spirits with her regular attacks), Dimensional Travel (Can break through Otherworlds), Incorporeality, Shapeshifting (While most gods take a human shape, the form they take is mostly meaningless[14]), Abstract Existence (Type 1; The true form of a God exists as an idea, and a god can spread and manifest itself in any number of physical bodies, each with equal power[15]), Immortality (Type 1, 4, 8, & 9; relies on her myths, and will be capable of rebirth if she has enough faith. If killed, a god can simply create a new avatar), Limited Creation, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; She can modify her own concept/name[16]. When gods obtain a name, they gain total manipulation over the concept to which they are linked. The process of creating a spell card requires giving it a 'name' to define its form and power, not unlike how the gods gave 'names' to everything at the beginning of reality to give them form from nothingness, albeit on a much smaller scale[17][18][19]), Holy & Curse Manipulation (Gods can give both blessings or curses), Probability Manipulation and Fate Manipulation (Unconsciously controls the memory layer of the world, which affects probability and fate), Resurrection, Teleportation, Statistics Amplification, Energy Projection, and Space-Time Manipulation (As the creator of the Occult Balls, she should share their powers)
Resistance to Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; Is able to fight even when lacking a concept, see Junko), Madness Manipulation (Lunarians are immune the effects of the true Moon, which can drive humans insane and kill them if they look at it), Probability Manipulation (Sagume has so much fortune that it cannot be reduced), and Soul Absorption (Survived Tenshi absorbing the souls of all living things across Gensokyo and various Otherworlds such as the Netherworld)
All previous ability to an unfathomable degree, except: Immortality (Type 8 & 9). Invisibility, Abstract Existence (Type 1; Is the embodiment of something conceptless), Nonduality (Type 2; Gods in this state exist without names[20], and were capable of existing in a state of indistinct chaos prior to the existence of names, with names creating all boundaries in existence[21]. Boundaries are effectively the lines between any two things, including those of a conceptual nature such as life and death[22], master and slave[23], space and time[24], truth and falsehood[25], or existence and nonexistence[26]. Without boundaries, everything would simply exist as a singular massive object[27]. Existing in a nameless state renders one without any particular distinctions, not being a part of any one thing, but simply being[28]), Nonexistent Physiology (Nature 2, Aspect 2 & 5; Gods are described as nothingness itself[29], and gods that revert to their nameless state due to lacking faith[30] are said to have[31] been[32] erased from[33] existence[34]. Due to existing independently of boundaries, gods are not bound to the concepts of form & emptiness[35], existence & nonexistence [zero], or even nonexistence & void [imaginary number][36], instead existing in an unknown fourth state devoid of information[37] and incomprehensible to anything in existence[38][39]), Reality Warping, Void Manipulation, Physics Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Fate Manipulation & Probability Manipulation (Gods created the three layers that compose the world, of which the first is capable of manipulating the physical world and it's laws, the second being capable of manipulating abstract concepts such as sorcery, the spirit, mind and emotions, and the third being capable of manipulating history, causality, and the memory of the world[40]), Creation & Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; All gods can give "names" to things, giving them a concept of their own, and a defined border.[41] Through this, they were capable of shaping reality from the primordial chaos it was before anything was named and create things from a state in which nothing existed at all), Avatar Creation (When giving a name to themselves, they create an avatar to interact with the physical world)
Attack Potency: At least Low Multiverse level (Superior to Doremy, and the latter could only indirectly get revenge on her. Should be comparable to other lunar sages like Eirin Yagokoro) | Universe level+ (Participated in the creation of reality)
Speed: Infinite (Superior to Native Gods and moon rabbits) for her physical body, possibly Omnipresent for her true form (Gods exist as ideas all over existence, and can manifest themselves everywhere)
Lifting Strength: Stellar (Comparable to Yatagarasu)
Striking Strength: At least Low Multiverse level | Universe level+
Durability: At least Low Multiverse level | Universe level+
Stamina: High.
Range: At least Tens of Meters with Danmaku (Her firing range should be comparable to Sakuya's, who can throw knives at least 36 meters), at least Low Multiversal with her ability (Her words can affect events in Gensokyo and on the Moon)
Standard Equipment: None notable.
Intelligence: Sagume is an intelligent and experienced Lunarian leader who is able to choose her words wisely and use her ability to its fullest extent.
Weaknesses: Whatever situations that Sagume speaks of will reverse themselves, so she must choose her words carefully.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Reversing a situation with her words: Whenever Sagume speaks about a particular situation or event, that situation will eventually proceed to reverse itself, through whatever means possible. If she speaks about an attempt to achieve a goal, it will fail in some way. If she speaks about something bad occurring, it will be resolved in some way. Due to this, she tends to not speak too much and always chooses her words carefully. Note that it is the situation or the event she talks about that will be reversed in some manner; it is not that the opposite of what she says must occur.
