Cúbolg
From Inga no Kusari wiki
Cúbolg is Finn Green's Mask.
Finn does not undergo a great change when his mask is brought to bear. All he gains is merely a fragment of his mask (as most Visoreds do), which covers his eyes and runs down to his jaw. His nose is visible with this fragment. The mask runs up to his hairline, save for the gap where his forehead is. All of his badges turn from their normal colours to a pearly white.

Inner Hollow
Cúbolg is Finn, only much more rugged. Where Finn is lanky and (more or less) clean, Cúbolg is toned and covered in decades of scars. His hair is long and matted, hanging by his shoulders. Unlike Finn, Cúbolg wears something like a tunic and heavy boots, he looks like a man who wanders mountains just for the hell of it. His face is tattooed with thick black knotwork markings, running down between his eyes and curving upon his cheeks to disappear into his hair at the temples.
Mask Personality
Cúbolg does not believe in engaging in combat if you don't intend to kill. To him, everyone is an enemy, and he knows how to prioritise. Skilled in survival, he can make a meal from anything and react with almost animal-like reflexes. He is resourceful. And he hates Finn.
Mask Ability
With his mask drawn, Finn is blessed with superhuman senses of sound, smell, taste and touch. However, he is blinded. The senses do not allow him to replace his sight entirely, and indeed he must stop to take stock of the situation if he is fighting in an enclosed space. This will inevitably grow as his mask progresses.
The true power of Cúbolg, however, is to reverse the ability of his badge glints (this will eventually allow him to use both abilities with further mask fragments, but currently, he can only use the reversed state). The effects are thus:
The Scale - Finn can disrupt the minds of others, sending them into a frenzy, a state of fear, or disorientation.
The Stream - Finn can absorb reishi particles from the air around him, topping up any lost reiatsu. He can also send a massive amount of reiatsu into a person, giving them something akin to an electric shock.
The Staff - Finn can cause pain simply by touching; and can permanently (for the duration of the mask) make wounds more sensitive.
The Voice - Finn can fill a target's mind with static upon touch, disorientating and temporarily deafening them.
Strengths
With the reversed effects of all of his abilities, what was once beneficial can be devastating, and in conjunction with Gáe Bolg, his fullbring, Finn becomes an effective fighter. He also loses any hesitance to kill.
Weaknesses
The mask's shape blinds Finn whilst wearing it, and due to Cúbolg's nature, he is sent into a battle frenzy. Finn will attack both friends and foes whilst this fragment of Cúbolg is worn.
