Jujutsu Kaisen's Veils Explained
Veils, also known as curtains, are a widely used barrier technique that creates a partition using an undetectable black force field.
This black force field ensures the separation of an area from the view of external observers.
The creation of a veil requires a certain level of expertise that not many sorcerers possess in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
Nevertheless, the difficulty of executing this technique fluctuates in accordance with the intricacy of the veil itself.
Less powerful sorcerers would only be able to cast a relatively less potent curtain.
On the other hand, accomplished sorcerers have the ability to incorporate specific conditions into their veils, enhancing their effectiveness.
While the exact procedure of deploying veils is a mystery, it is necessary for the user to recite this incantation: "Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify what is impure."

Why Are Veils Cast?
Jujutsu sorcerers cast veils not with the primary intention of concealing themselves from external eyes, but rather to confine designated curses within a specific area.
Veils serve as a preventive measure, aimed at minimizing damage and mitigating potential chaos in case things snowball into a mess.
Conditions can be utilized to heighten or diminish the effectiveness of a curtain, or to tailor it to a specific objective.
As an illustration, Juzo has the ability to construct a barrier that exclusively bars the entry of Satoru Gojo.
It is important to note that such conditions can only be imposed on entities possessing cursed energy.
The resistance within a veil is inversely related to its resistance against outside intrusion.
Strong curtain barriers that keep people in are weak against others entering. Meanwhile, brute force is usually ineffective against these veils.
However, eliminating the sorcerer who created the barrier can bring down the veil entirely.
Also, veils can be created and infused into objects, which subsequently sustain the barrier until the objects themselves are destroyed.
Veil Users in Jujutsu Kaisen
As mentioned earlier, only a handful of skilled Jujutsu sorcerers have the power to cast these veils or curtains.
Here are the users who can cast a veil in Jujutsu Kaisen:
- Suguru Geto
- Satoru Gojo
- Juzo Kumiya
- Mahito
- Kiyotaka Ijichi
