| - Like a Zanpakutō; an Accelerated Gear is materialized from the soul—unlike a Zanpakutō, however, its rarity is shown through pure luck; nearly anyone can possess a common Accelerated Gear, while only one in a million are born with a rare Accelerated Gear. Certain individuals with Accelerated Gears have become very powerful and influential. There can be more than one Accelerated Gear of the same type; and the commonness or rarity of the weapon can vary through how much positive karma one has accumulated in their life. The powers of the Accelerated Gear come about by a manifestation of light and darkness within one's soul; their past life must have a matching dichotomy with their current life. For example, a Tyrant in this life; a merciless dictator or serial killer would have had to been a saint in a previous life, or delving deeper, it is achieved through a drastic alteration into the core aspects of a soul, creating a sort of imbalance, which the Accelerated Gear is a materialization of. The user can invoke their "positive" karma as the light side of the weapon's power, and their "negative" karma is released as the dark side of the weapon. It is possible for an individual to own more than one Accelerated Gear; though like the rarer weapons, obtaining more than one is exceedingly difficult and extremely rare, though it is a possible occurrence. Accelerated Gears also adapt and evolve based on their wielder's thoughts, needs, and feelings, gaining abilities or qualities as time passes.
