Every creature within 10 ft. must attempt a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, their Intelligence decreases by 1 as a portion of their memories are erased.

One humanoid creature within 5 ft. that is no larger than Large must attempt a DC 18 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the creature can not act on their turn, both creatures occupy the same space, and Sōma gains the best of either creatures' ability scores and their features, and adds their chakra point maximums together. Any damage Sōma would take is split evenly between them and the creature. Sōma may end this at will. If Sōma is targeted by fuinjutsu while this is active, the caster may choose if this effects the host creature, or only Sōma.

[Source]. Sōma's exact origins are unknown, though it is possible that it is a remnant of Kaguya Otsutsuki's mind due to bearing many similarities with Reibi, such as being powered by negative emotions, and the other Tailed Beasts, such as reforming from its lingering chakra years after its death. It is known only by a few, being constantly dispatched by the shrine maidens of Daidai Village. It is unknown why it menaces society, draining the memories of anyone who comes within its sight, only that its existence necessitates the village's mastery of fuinjutsu.
