It can be used to launch ki-based attacks that can be used to strike targets (even tiny ones, like the Keiraku Hiko) at long range, or, to defend the user from attack.
An expert user can often radiate Tōki from his own body as an aura (Tōki no Aura) whilst focusing it for attacks.
Tōki also manifests in the form of illusions, such as a barrage of fists, as demonstrated by Raoh, or a hail of swords, as demonstrated by Rofū.
