Nōsei commonly utilizes this technique to loosen an opponent's grip upon their weapon, allowing him to disarm highly skilled combatants without the necessity of bloodshed. Due to the method that this technique operates the target may not notice that they are under the effects of this technique, and thus will not dispel it. It should be noted that if the target recognizes and liberates themselves from this genjutsu, the user will not be able to reactivate Invocation of Shadow Hex upon that target for thirty minutes. Individuals freed by an outside contribution are not provided with this temporary immunity.
