haveanicedaySkill #1:
☑ Qigong
From Saiyuki Reload Blast Chara Info:
"Weapons: None in particular. He somehow learned by mimicking the all-purpose qigong that he uses as a flight tool and in healing."
According to my mostly random and Wikipedia-based Google research because I am very responsible like that, Qigong is energy cultivation, a "system of mental and physical development." "Qigong is the philosophy and practice of aligning breath, physical activity and awareness for mental, spiritual and corporeal health, as well as the development of human potential. It includes certain forms of martial arts and the spiritual awakening to one's true nature."
So. Hakkai can now manipulate his qi. I was going to split his healing, qi blasts and qi barrier skills at first, but I thought it over and decided to give him back his whole pack of Qigong abilities since he doesn't really have to go through extra training to come up with his different moves. Basically, he'll be able to put his qi to any sort of combat or healing use he can come up with. What he can do already is use his qi for attacking (like here and here), create a qi barrier (like here), and healing (like here, with this kind of drawback from overuse in canon).
