Wound

“

Given the source of her powers, I immediately decided to call it a Wound. Injury was too coarse, and Trauma sounded too medical, and the implication that it was mental suffering was too strong. This wound was both physical and emotional, and grew over time.

A Wound (ウゥンド, Wundo) manifests from a person's repeated physical and emotional trauma. They are less controllable than Stands are and tend to serve a purpose of stopping the user's source of pain.^[1] It is a power unique to the light novel 'JORGE JOESTAR', based on the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.

Description

Wounds are created from the emotions of an individual suffering from repeated harm, either to their mind or their body. When the individual's body attempts to heal, it creates an ability to protect itself from suffering the same injury again.

“

To protect their own lives from the fatal wound, their talents would blossom, the energy would heal the wounds, and they would discover special abilities previously hidden within them.

—Detective Jorge, JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 14

The ability of a Wound varies like Stand abilities, depending on the trauma of the user. For example, Antonio Torres developed a Wound that allows him to shed his skin every year from a single incision, as a result of his mother peeling away his skin bit by bit every year.

Stands are also capable of gaining Wounds after being stabbed by the Arrow. The Wound causes the Stand to evolve into a Requiem Stand, such as in the case of Reimi Sugimoto's ability evolving from Cube House to Arrow Cross House and Kars's Whitesnake Ultimate evolving into C-Moon Ultimate Requiem.^[2]
