Like a Zanpakutō; an Accelerated Gear is materialized from the soul—unlike a Zanpakutō, however, its rarity is shown through pure luck; nearly anyone can possess a common Accelerated Gear, while only one in a million are born with a rare Accelerated Gear. Certain individuals with Accelerated Gears have become very powerful and influential. There can be more than one Accelerated Gear of the same type; and the commonness or rarity of the weapon can vary through how much positive karma one has accumulated in their life.
