Hierro - requires physical proficiency (300 OM)
Weiss has learned how to channel her spiritual energy as a hollow well enough to instinctively learn one of the most common abilities of an arrancar. By focusing energy into a specific area of her body, she can temporarily harden the area to feel like steel. Weiss is capable of channeling this energy into three major areas of her body - her chest, her stomach, or her hands. In all cases, this requires roughly two seconds of focused concentration of her spiritual energy into that area, which leaves Weiss capable of basic movement, but little else.
The protection this move gives is fairly significant - if Weiss were to grab the blade of an opponent while empowering her hand with Hierro, for instance, it would allow her to do so safely. The energy drain is high, however, making it something to be saved for critical moments - in cases where the damage would be less than fatal, or close to it, it would generally be better to take the attack head-on than utilize this energy draining move to block it. Weiss is limited to a maximum of five seconds at a time using this move, and as it drains her more the longer she uses it, Using this move for long periods, repeatedly, will cause her to completely run out of stamina.
Additionally, she has to choose which area to cover - Chest, stomach or hands. She may not use Hierro to empower more than one part of her body at a time, and she must decide which body part to empower before focusing her spiritual energy, making this move useless against surprise attacks or in chaotic battles.
For those who strike Weiss while empowered with Hierro, the textile feeling and effects are what one would feel striking or breaking solid metal - Sparks may fly off of a blade, for instance, regardless of if the weapon penetrates or not. The sound, reverberation, and general sensation are all similar to striking a metal barrier.
