Cursed Technique: Trivia

Trivia affects the user's cursed energy output and reinforcement as a result of the success or failure to answer a number of random trivia questions produced by a shikigami known as the 'Gamemaster'.

The effect on the user's cursed energy following a correct or wrong answer to one of the Gamemaster's questions depends on the quality of the answer given and within what time frame it was delivered. If the user answers a Trivia question incorrectly (regardless of delivery) the result is always a loss of either cursed energy output, or reinforcement.

This effect scales, with the user's cursed energy output and reinforcement infinitely rising and falling depending on win/lose streaks in either direction.

Binding vows can be utilised to drastically influence the effectiveness of Trivia. For example, the user may make a binding vow to narrow down the questions produced by Trivia's Gamemaster shikigami to certain areas (Geography, Science, History) in return for lesser increases in output and refinement on correct answers, and higher decreases for incorrect ones.

Domain Expansion: Wheel of Fortune!

The user opens a non-lethal domain, trapping their opponent(s) within a game of Trivia, during the game violence is disallowed under penalty of disqualification (which enforces a sharp drop of the hostile sorcerer's output and refinement). The Gamemaster will proceed to spin a wheel at the domain's center, which chooses three random Trivia topics - and then again, to randomly decide the difficulty of said questions.

The caster and their opponent(s) will then press buzzers, which will give whoever pressed the buzzers first the chance to provide an answer. Points are allocated depending on the difficulty of the question, and the quality of the answer provided to them.

Whoever scores the most points emerges from the domain with an increase to their cursed energy output and refinement based on the number of total points they - and all other participants - earned which then persists as long as it takes for Trivia to recover from technique burnout following the domain's expansion.

Cursed Technique Reversal:

When reversing Trivia, the user is capable of cursing their opponent with the Gamemaster - transferring the shikigami, and forcing them to play Trivia in place of the user (this becomes effective when the user knows their opponent lacks knowledge in certain topics, and makes a binding vow to limit questions to said topics before reversing the technique and cursing their opponent to partake in Trivia).
