Cosmogony
Attempts to create a naturalistic cosmogony are subject to two separate limitations. One is based in the philosophy of science and the epistemological constraints of science itself, especially with regards to whether scientific inquiry can ask questions of "why" the universe exists. Another more pragmatic problem is that there is no physical model that can explain the earliest moments of the universe's existence because of a lack of a consistent theory of quantum gravity. Also of interest are supernatural creation accounts, as in ancient Greek myth or in the Creationism of the Abrahamic religions.

Sympathetic Magic
The effort to control events, animals, or persons by extraordinary means that are imitative or analogical in form.
For example, a doll or effigy may be stabbed or burned as a means of casting a spell upon a living being, or red ochre powder may be used to restore the glow of life to a pallid body.
Sympathetic magic, also known as imitative magic, is a type of magic based on imitation or correspondence.

Contagious Magic
A form of sympathetic magic based on the view that things once conjoined continue to influence each other when separated; thus magic performed on a lock of hair may affect the person from whom it came.
Contagious Magic is magic that attempts to affect a person through something once connected with him or her, as a shirt once worn by the person or a footprint left in the sand; a branch of sympathetic magic based on the belief that things once in contact are in some way permanently so, however separated physically they may subsequently become.

Shinobu Sensui
Shinobu Sensui was once a rei kai detective (spirit detective), who had amazing judgement and powers since he was a child. But on one case he came upon a group of humans torturing innocent youkai (demons). Sakyo was in this group. When seeing that, he tried to protect the youkai, but failed. After that, he gathered a group of seven people with supernatural powers like his. Sensui planned to make a hole in the barrier between Ningenki (human world) and Makai. Although the only reason he planned it was to get Yusuke's attention. For he still had other plans. Although he may not look it, Sensui's powers are very strong and he is rated as an S-class demon. He also has seven different personalities in his one body that come out in different situations. (Though you can never tell...)
Since his powers exceed Yusuke's, he kills him. Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara had no chance against him either. Shinobu Sensui is defeated when Yusuke is reborn because of his youkai blood and gains S-class powers. One of Sensui's great powers was his Sacred Energy technique.
