Purgatory Contracts
Purgatory Contracts are deals or pacts formed between those of the Valiant Sphere and the residents of Purgatory. Purgatory Contracts are essentially the agreements of ownership to the pieces of one's own body in exchange for portions of another entity's power. Bluntly, it is the pawning someone's body for strength. Under unknown circumstances, Johan has seemingly managed to acquire Purgatory Contracts on more than one occasion. Whether they came on account of trips to Purgatory, or vice versa is often pondered.

Leviathan Form
Johan has made a contract with a Leviathan, an indomitable force that controls the oceans of Purgatory. Through this pact, Johan has attained changes to his physiology transforming himself into a water-faring hybrid despite its lack of not visibility. As a now amphibious being, Johan has the capacity to breath both out of and within water, enhanced senses within water, as well as a natural talent for swimming and combative action under the same prerequisite. Johan was "gifted" this contract after being taken by the seas of Purgatory on a student expedition. He was saved by a Leviathan which showed a capacity of empathy before communicating with the boy, and seemingly taking a liking to him. Following this encounter, the previously aquaphobic Johan would go on to love water, basing his combat around it and proceeding to succeed in life at the Continental Academy. The cost of power, the ability to be "normal".

Spirit Cascade
Spirit Cascade is a broad ability employed by Johan which grants him the ability to generate and control Spiritual Water, a dark functional mirror to water composed of Souls. Spirit Cascade can manifest in a number of ways, the first being normal water which can be generated at high quantities and has every property of water. Next it can come in the form of holy water which while acts like normal water, holds a property that is seemingly damaging to creatures from Purgatory such as Vampires, and other undead. Thirdly, it can manifest in Black Water, a functional opposite to Holy Water. Black Water holds an inherent effect against all living things in a similar manner to Holy Water's relation to the undead. Black Water can be generated in smaller quantities than Normal Water, which Johan can form into flooding amounts.

Black Water directly targets the souls of the living, decomposing and breaking down their very spiritual essence and influencing their physical and cognitive forms. Black Water acts as a contaminant which turns beings into living disease. In their diseased state, people and creatures cease to hold control over their bodies and Johan becomes the absolute force to which they act in the name of. Their body becomes coated in black veins, and their body is granted amazing strength as they join the ranks of his army. While the effect does not necessarily kill the infected, following infection humans cease to be capable of normal life as their Soul remains in shambles without some form of outside influence from other Shamans. Due to this, Johan only ever tends to compose his army with Sea Life. Powerful Awakened can fight against the decomposition of their Soul on account of Black Water. Johan refers to the infected as his "Black Army", and once infected they can be summoned from Black Water directly.
