Nuinjutsu:

Name: Initiation: Divination
Classification: Nuinjutsu
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Nuinjutsu is a new style of combat when Jazz created it, ultimately she understood like Fuinjutsu and Juinjutsu it was limitless in terms of application. However it required building blocks which is what she ended up doing. It is something which requires Nen to first be present however in order to gain access to Nuinjutsu one must first learn how to manually open and close the Nen circulatory system within one's brain to gain a deeper understanding of how Nen functions. Upon doing that one is able to learn how Nuinjutsu functions, as it is closely tied to the personality, mental fortitude, emotional state, sanity and Nen ability all interwoven to establish Nuinjutsu as a whole. Nuinjutsu is likewise based on genetic intelligence, the higher intelligence the individual possesses the more aptitude for Nuinjutsu they will possess.
Level of Intelligence - Effect in Regards to Nuinjutsu
Retard - 1 Primary, 1 Secondary, 1 Teritary & 1 Quaternary
Low - 1 Primary Type, 1 Secondary, 1 Tertiary & 1 Quaternary
Normal - 1 Primary Type, 1-2 Secondary (Depends on Primary), 2 Tertiary & 1 Quaternary
Genius - Primary Type is always Specialist.
Super-Genius - Primary type is always Specialist and possesses a 2nd Primary Type which is based on personality.
Hyper-Genius - Primary type is always Specialist and gains a unique Specialist-based Trigger effect, possesses a 2nd Primary Type which is based on personality.
Ultra-Genius - Primary type is always Specialist, possesses a 2nd Primary Type which is Specialist as well and gains a unique Trigger effect of a Type that is based on personality.

Description: There are six types of Nen within Nuinjutsu; every individual is born having one of these six different Nen types. Upon learning one's own aura type, a student of Nen can set about learning to apply the technique in a unique way that suits their personality, which can develop into a unique skill. The most surefire way of determining one's Nuinjutsu type is through water divination. Divination requires one to float a leaf atop a glass of water. A user Nen will place their hands around the glass and channel their Nen into it. The resulting effect from one's Nen contacting the glass will determine a person's Nen type thus allowing them to utilize Nuinjutsu.

If the volume of the water changes, the user is an Enhancer.
If the taste of the water changes, the user is a Transmuter.
If impurities appear in the water, the user is a Conjurer.
If the color of the water changes, the user is an Emitter.
If the leaf moves on the water's surface, the user is a Manipulator.
If a completely different change appears, the user is a Specialist.

An individual's Nen type is primarily based on their personality (Using Profile) and those of a particular Nen type all share the same personality traits this is not common knowledge unlike the first one as Jazz made it an additional factor while she was creating Nuinjutsu. The personalities most associated with the types of Nen are as follows:

Enhancers are determined and simple. Most of them never lie, hide nothing, and are very straightforward in their actions or in their thinking. Their words and actions are often dominated by their feelings. They are generally very selfish and focused on their goals. This is reflected in their nen as enhancers typically rely on simple and uncomplicated Base Contracts.
Transmuters are whimsical and prone to deceit. Transmutation users have unique attitudes, and many are regarded as weirdos or tricksters. Often they put forth a facade while hiding the truer aspects of their personalities. Even when they don't hide their personalities they rarely reveal their true intentions. Many transmuters rely on techniques that give unique and unpredictable properties to their nen that reflects their personalities.
Conjurers are typically high-strung or overly serious and stoic. They are often on guard as to be cautious. They are very observant and logical, rarely falling into traps. Being able to analyze things calmly is the strength of Conjurers. Many of the items that conjurers create are often used by them in a very deliberate and practical, logical fashion.
Emitters are impatient, not detail-oriented, and quick to react in a volatile manner. Many of them are quick-tempered and hot-blooded. They resemble the Enhancers in building their impulsivity, but the difference with them, they probably tend to calm down and forget easier. Because of the nature of emission, many hatsu techniques created by emitters are primarily long range.
Manipulators are logical people who advance at their own pace. They are all for arguments and tend to want to keep their families and loved ones safe. On the other hand, when it comes to pursuing their own goals, they do not listen to what others might have to say about it. While manipulators often use techniques that allow them to control their opponents they also prefer to use an inanimate medium to control that can be used versatility (such as smoke or pieces of paper).
Specialists are individualistic and charismatic. They will tell you anything important to them, and refrain from being close friends. But, because of their natural charisma that draws others, they are always surrounded by many people. Because specification is unique and can have many facets, most specialists (Non-Geniuses) will only possess the ability to use just Specialization.

Name: Initiation: Focus
Classification: Nuinjutsu
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Every Nuinjutsu user is able to "Focus" a Max of 100% of their mind into 1 categories (types) of Nuinjutsu outside of contracts at 1 time due to the limits of brain. Under normal circumstances one must balance one’s Focus between the categories (types) of Nuinjutsu and one can not exceed the cap of 100%. Base Contracts act as a lump sum, only applying one's focus towards the type that the contract is based in. Nuinjutsu is able to be trained via In-Battle Training only if one has not done their daily training for that day with the normal word count being required to be added to the post. This only refers to modifying existing Base Contracts not creating new ones as that can only be done via normal training topics due to the intense concentration required to do so.
The Types of Nen within Nuinjutsu are as follows:

Enhancement If a user increases the quantity of water in the glass during their water divination, they are an Enhancer. Enhancement is the ability to use Nen within Nuinjutsu Contracts to increase the natural abilities of an object or one's own body. Therefore, Enhancers are able to greatly increase their natural tiers in both attack and defense and are best suited for close-ranged melee combat. Enhancement is the most balanced category, allowing users to spread themselves evenly between offense and defense and become very strong using only simple abilities. One of the examples of more complex Enhancement Base Contracts includes enhancing one's healing factor.
Transmutation If a user changes the taste of the water in the glass during their water divination, they are a Transmuter. An affinity for Transmutation means a person can change the properties of their Nen to mimic something else via the Base Contract. Similar to Emission, things created via Transmutation are pure Nen. Transmutation is often mistaken with Conjuration due to their similarities. A simple way of thinking about it would be that Transmutation allows your Nen to mimic properties of a substance, whereas Conjuration allows you to change one's Nen into actual substances other than Nen based on the base contract. Transmuters can copy the properties of real things (i.e electricity) transmuters can also give their properties that don't necessarily mimic real things (fire which burns cold). Transmuted substances are invisible to people unaware of the existence of Nen, or lack some form of mental sensory (Brain Wave/Telepathy/Emotion etc), 1st Dimension Sealing, Mental Based Dojutsu (Itsugan/Bakufuko) while in order to pick up concealed Transmutation Base Contracts one must either possesses two of the following Barrier+Reaction Tier Chain, Mental Sensory, 1st Dimension Sealing or a Mental Based Dojutsu.
ConjurationIf a user creates an object in the water in the glass during their water divination, they are a Conjurer. Conjuration is the ability to create a tangible, independent, material object out of one's Nen which manifests in the physical dimension via a Base Contract. Once a person has mastered the conjuration of a certain object, they can conjure it and dispel it in an instant, whenever they want. Conjuration is the only way in which Nuinjutsu can create things that those (unaware of Nen) can see and touch. Furthermore, objects or entities created by this technique have a subtle "independence" to them. This means that they can continue existing even if they were at a considerable distance from the Conjurer, or even if the Conjurer themselves are not aware that they have yet to be de-materialized. Similar to Manipulation, Conjuration abilities tend to be very specific, complex, and conditional.
Emission If a user changes the color of the water in the glass during their water divination, they are an Emitter. An affinity for Emission means that a user is capable of controlling the deployment of their Nen comprising a Base Contract while separating it from their body. Base Contracts established via Nuinjutsu usually decrease in intensity very quickly when they is separated from the source body, but strong Emitters can separate their aura from their body for long-periods of time and still be able to maintain it.
Manipulation If a user moves the leaf floating on the water in the glass during their water divination, they are a Manipulator. Base Contracts belonging to Manipulators allow the user to control living or non-living things in a certain way, the main advantage being able to 'manipulate' enemies. The degree of control is principally determined by a Limitation that usually puts the manipulator at risk (attaching objects on the enemy, touching the enemy in a certain way) and of course the larger the risk, the better the degree of control.
Specialization If a user causes some other effect during their water divination, they are Specialist. It is possible that the effect that occurs can give some insight into how they should direct their ability. Specialization is anything that doesn't belong into the other five categories. This is the vaguest Nuinjutsu category and occurs in two types, either normal which applies to those who are either born with it naturally/have it as their primary (Geniuses), or Trigger which are only activated through special conditions. In the case of the first one is able to add modification slots to it using the other Nuinjutsu types like normal, while in the latter one isn't. It is possible to become a Specialist later in life (At least 1-rank after first obtaining Nuinjutsu), although it is more likely for Manipulators or Conjurers which is why it is placed at the bottom of the chart (Req. 1000 Word Weekly Training to unlock Specialization).

Name: Initiation: Capability
Classification: Nuinjutsu
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Every individual has a specific amount of capability in utilizing the types of Nen within Nuinjutsu. The exact calculation of one's capability is determined by this chart:

Spoiler:

Starting with one's Primary Type, not only is this the only category one can make Base Contracts in, but also they have a 100% Capability in that specific type. Then looking at the chart it brings one to Secondary which are adjacent to the user's Primary, Tertiary the remaining types excluding the one opposite (across) from the Primary and Quaternary which is always opposite the user's Primary type. Specialization is typically unusable for non-Specialists because it is impossible to partially use; one either can or can't use Specialist abilities. However, Conjurers and Manipulators have 1% capability potential for Specialization due to being adjacent to it (it serves as their secondary and is learned after a 500 Word Weekly Training topic). The specific capability values are are found below.
Nen User Usage (Capablity & Level & Efficiency)
Primary or Specialization (Genius Only) = 100% Capability
Secondary = 80% or 60% Capability (Adjacent to Primary)
Tertiary = 40% or 20% Capability (Other)
Quaternary = 10% Capability (Opposite Primary)
Specialization (Non-Genius) = 0% or 1% (Only Manipulators & Conjurers have the 1%)
Qeynan's Nuinjutsu Types & Capabilities are as follows:
Primary (Main) = Specialization (100%)
Primary (Alt) = Manipulation (80%)
Secondary (Main) = Conjuration (60%)
Tertiary (Main) = Transmutation (40%)
Tertiary (Alt) = Emission (20%)
Quaternary = Enhancement (10%)

Name: Initiation: Contracts
Classification: Nuinjutsu

Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Upon learning of ones Nuinjutsu Type the user can only establish a single Base Contract in their Primary Nuinjutsu Type; all others are only available as Modification Contracts which are used to further customize the Base Contract using the Nuinjutsu type it represents. This can only be done once per Nuinjutsu type per contract meaning if the user already has already created a Modification Contract for Transmutation in one contract, they can't make another Modification Contract which is also Transmutation within that same contract. Base Contracts are always unique to the individual in question and it is almost unheard of for even one’s offspring to inherit it simply due to every individual being unique and due to Nuinjutsu tied heavily into the personality, emotions, and willpower of the user it is highly unlikely that two people will ever manage to create identical abilities. There are three additional types of contracts all of which function as additional Modification Contracts these are: Emotion Contracts, Will Contracts and Limitation Contracts.
Emotion Contracts involve the use of emotional investment in order to augment the power of a contract which is possible to a more limited effect by all Nuinjutsu users however reaches it’s true potential when one possesses Emotion Release.
Will Contracts depends on one’s mental Fortitude being grounded in Barrier Tiers however it doesn’t directly augment one’s Base Contract but rather sacrifices one’s capability in the other Nuinjutsu Types in exchange for bolstering another, the higher one’s capability in the specific Nuinjutsu type being bolstered the lower percentage of capability in the sacrificed type is required likewise the lower one’s capability the higher percentage of capability is required to receive the same effect regardless one can still never exceed 100% Focus even though they might use this to increase their capability to a max of 150%.
Limitation Contracts are essentially conditions one sets on the base contracts to restrict their use in exchange for more power, this can be imposed for free for lesser gains but mainly it relies on Penalties for larger gains, the harsher the penalty and the more conditions one sets on the use of the Base Contract the more said contract is augmented likewise Limitation Contracts are the only way to exceed the 100% Focus limit and increase capability to a max of 200%. A Single Target Limitation Contracts boosts one's Focus to 125%, Risking one’s life via a limitation boosts it to 150%, sacrificing one’s life as a limitation boosts it to 175%, and finally in regards to contracts which only activate upon the death of the user they have a default of 200% focus.

Name: Initiation: Levels
Classification: Nuinjutsu
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Contracts have a system known as Levels one can increase the Level of their contract via weekly trainings depending on one’s Capability the lower one’s capability the higher the word count, the higher one’s capability the lower the word count. Higher Level Base contracts can have more Modification Contracts attached while Higher Level Modification Contracts result in better Modifications but likewise consume less slots of the Base Contract allowing more to be added. Emotion Contracts have their own slot price which vary based on how aligned to said Emotion one is or in the absence of Emotion Release based on one’s history (In Profile & IC events only). Will Contracts permanently Modify Capability which can lead to either permanent loss of Levels or the ability to reach Level’s one never had before (Every 10% either allows one to gain or drop a level however one can not drop past the lowest level Modification Contract currently slotted to the Base Contact). Limitations permanently lower the amount of max slots available to the Base Contract rather than filling up slots.

No. of Trained Levels: 1/10
Current Rank: D-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Contract), Contact (Enchanting)

Description: This is a Base Contract of the Specialization Type, which entails the establishment of a Nuinjutsu which revolves around granting the user the ability to "teleport". In actuality this Base Contract allows the user to create a protective shell of Nen around themselves before shifting said shell onto the 1st Dimension (Mental Plane) at varying speeds. The user is then capable of moving through the 1st Dimension without any adverse effects for a short period of time before they must return to the Physical World, otherwise they are dealt Mental Damage for lingering in a non-native dimension. The speed at which the shift occurs and the ability to change one's position by moving through dimensions grants the illusion of teleportation, though those who are capable of detecting the 1st Dimension will be able to track the user. The Mental Damage dealt due to lingering is determined by the user's Barrier Tiers and the distance the user is capable of traveling through the Mental Plane is based on their Speed while the speed at which the user shifts and the amount of time they are able to spend on the Mental Plane is determined by the level of this Base Contract. It is unique like any other Nuinjutsu and its ability to traverse an alternate dimension is what classifies it as a Specialist Nuinjutsu. Just like all contracts this technique is capable of being retrained by it's Levels, for every 2 Levels this technique grows 1-rank stronger and in the absence of any Will, Emotion or Limitation Contracts capable of boosting capability past 100% it will cap at S. If one of those are used then for every 5 Levels it goes up 1-rank to cap at SSS-rank at Level 20.

Description: Takes up ? Slots per Rank Up from the Base Contract. This is a Manipulation based Modification Contract belonging to the ??? Nuinjutsu, focused on expanding the capabilities of its Base Contract. Upon being established this Modification Contract allows the user to now manipulate the positioning of others, which is done by either expanding the shell they create to allow others to travel alongside the user or by the user surrounding their target in a shell and "pushing" them through into the 1st Dimension, though both methods require contact with the user. Where as the user traveling is considered movement, pushing is considered "knockback" and thus the distance one travels is based on the user's Strength (see Throwing Rules) or if that is not present their Rank (D = 1ft, X = 7ft). However far the target is pushed they enter and exit the 1st Dimension on the same post. Size of the shell the user is capable of creating and the number of individuals that can travel with them is determined by the level of this Modification Contract. Just like all contracts this technique is capable of being retrained by it's Levels, for every 2 Levels this technique grows 1-rank stronger and in the absence of any Will, Emotion or Limitation Contracts capable of boosting capability past 100% it will cap at S. If one of those are used then for every 5 Levels it goes up 1-rank to cap at SSS-rank at Level 20. Due to being a Modification Contract if it's affected by a Limitation Contract within it's Nuinjutsu category which boosts Capability past 100% then it consumes less slots depending on how high that capability is (Every 10% reduces the number of slots it consumes by 1 caps out at 1 Slot at 200%).
Level - Size of Shell - Additional Travellers
1. Medium S - 1 Humanoid or 2 Small
2. Medium S - 2 Humanoid or 3 Small
3. Medium M - 1 Medium S, 3 Humanoid or 4 Small

*Note: Those who are involuntarily moved are dealt Mental Damage (see Base Contract). They are capable of attempting to resist the forcible travel, however using only Strength serves to increase the damage they receive (counts of damage increased by 1 per Rank of Strength above D), with a Strength+Barrier Tier Chain equal to the user's Strength or their Rank being required to fully resist the movement and additional damage (they are still dealt a single count as described in the Base Contract).

Description: Takes up ? Slots per Rank Up from the Base Contract. This is a Conjuration based Modification Contract belonging to the ??? Nuinjutsu, focused on expanding the capabilities of its Base Contract. Upon being established this Modification Contract allows the user to conjure shells that can encase other individuals, objects or even techniques in order to remotely move them onto the 1st Dimension at the user's whim. The movement of these shells, including anything encased within the shell, can be controlled by the user within a certain radius of themselves. However, targets who are being moved involuntarily as well as objects or techniques under direct control of another individual require an increased Nen Price to move (ex: Puppets would require an increased price but a free-thrown kunai would not). The number of shells the user can create, the radius of their control and the increased Nen Price is based on the level of this Modification Contract. Just like all contracts this technique is capable of being retrained by it's Levels, for every 2 Levels this technique grows 1-rank stronger and in the absence of any Will, Emotion or Limitation Contracts capable of boosting capability past 100% it will cap at S. If one of those are used then for every 5 Levels it goes up 1-rank to cap at SSS-rank at Level 20. Due to being a Modification Contract if it's affected by a Limitation Contract within it's Nuinjutsu category which boosts Capability past 100% then it consumes less slots depending on how high that capability is (Every 10% reduces the number of slots it consumes by 1 caps out at 1 Slot at 200%).

Description: Takes up ? Slots per Rank Up from the Base Contract. This is a Transmutation based Modification Contract belonging to the ??? Nuinjutsu, focused on expanding the capabilities of its Base Contract. Upon being established this Modification Contract allows the user to transmute the shells from a mental force into a physical one, allowing them to protect or trap what is held within them, and even forcibly move what is held within around the user all at the cost of being able to traverse the 1st Dimension. When transmuted, the shell gains a tangible physical form, durability equal to the Nen used to create it and the ability to enhance the speed of things encased within it. These shells take the form of a violet sphere with elongated wings sprouting from either side of it. The amount of time it takes for the Nen to be transmuted into a physical form and the speed boost granted to things within is dependent on the level of this Modification Contract. Just like all contracts this technique is capable of being retrained by it's Levels, for every 2 Levels this technique grows 1-rank stronger and in the absence of any Will, Emotion or Limitation Contracts capable of boosting capability past 100% it will cap at S. If one of those are used then for every 5 Levels it goes up 1-rank to cap at SSS-rank at Level 20. Due to being a Modification Contract if it's affected by a Limitation Contract within it's Nuinjutsu category which boosts Capability past 100% then it consumes less slots depending on how high that capability is (Every 10% reduces the number of slots it consumes by 1 caps out at 1 Slot at 200%).

Gestalt:

Sword Name: Kouseki (Gem Blade)
Sword Appearance: Kouseki takes the appearance of a nagamaki with a diamond-shaped tsuba and a long hilt wrapped in black cloth, and decorated with four clear crystals down either side of the hilt, all spaced evenly from one another.
Sword Chakra Nature: Crystal (*Gem Type Unlocked at B-rank*)
Sword Description: Kouseki's ability has a unique relationship with its user's body, as it converts their muscles into a slightly silicon structure, allowing them to simulate Strength Tiers based on their age. When wielded by a Suisho, it works hand in hand with the natural conversion of their body from carbon to silicon, increasing the Strength simulated based on the amount of their body that has been converted.
Age - Strength - Silicon Percentage = Modifier
1-5 - D- - 0% = N/A
6-10 - C- - 25% = +1 Tier Level
11-15 - B- - 50% = +2 Tier Levels
16-20 - A- - 75% = +3 Tier Levels
21+ - S- - 100% = +4 Tier Levels
*Gem Blades possess abilities similar to other samurai swords however they possess special characteristics due to their unique composition. A Suisho Clan member is able to evolve their Gem Blades upon reaching B-rank with their blade changing into a particular type of Gem of their choice. From then on their Gem Blade is capable of harnessing the innate effect of the Gem they've chosen in their kenjutsu, while their Crystal Release likewise changes to resemble the same Gem with gem properties being able to be applied to their Crystal Release techniques at the cost of Double (2x) the normal price if used normally or Triple (3x) the normal price if used with either Flowing or Glowing Style.

Name: Path of the Gestalt (Signature)
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: A-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Passive

Description: This is a unique Kinjutsu-based fighting style developed by Carnelian, fusing the ability of his Samurai Sword with the natural abilities awarded to him as a Suisho. This style is initiated by Carnelian stabbing himself through the sternum, dealing exacting a B-Rank Blood Price as he does so but otherwise leaving himself unharmed. As the price is paid, the blade is broken away from the hilt and absorbed into Carnelian's body, further altering his physiology to be more crystalline. With his blade assimilated, Carnelian is placed within a coma for a length of time dependent on his Crystal Release Affinity. Upon exiting the coma, Carnelian gains a few physical alterations: his pupils are changed into diamond-shapes and his irises become pure white, a crystalline fragmentation within them being the only thing discerning them from the sclera, while his nails also appear to be made of gemstones. Due to absorbing the blade of his Sword, Carnelian becomes one with it thus permanently implanting its ability and chakra nature within him, removing the main weaknesses of Samurai Swords in that if they are lost the Samurai is weakened. This fighting style doesn't only incorporate the various alterations applied to the body after absorbing the blade, but also the user's own unique applications of Crystal Release.
Crystal Affinity - Coma Duration
Normal - 1 IC Month
High - 2 IC Weeks
Very High - 1 IC Week

Name: Gestalt: Crystalline Body
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D-Rank (3 D-Rank Blood per Gem Assimilated)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The first alteration that absorbing his Sword has had on Carnelian is the refined conversion of his body from carbon-based to silicon-based. Due to absorbing a crystal blade into his body, the process of conversion that occurs over a lifetime for other Suisho has been sped up to occur preternaturally faster for him, with the conversion speeding up depending on how skilled he has become as a Shinobi. This alteration works hand in hand with the unique trait of Gem Blades, allowing him to apply the effect of his sword's Gem to his entire body, or specific bodily systems, as he sees fit. This ability is altered, however, if Carnelian absorbs his Sword before he achieves B-Rank, which is to say if he absorbs the Sword before it adopts a specific Gem type. In this case, Carnelian lacks the ability to inherently apply Gem properties to his body but instead he gains the ability to implant Gems he comes across into his body and channel their power through himself. This results in the properties he adopts being only temporary, but also allows for a larger variety of properties that he may adopt, with Carnelian being able to implant 1 Gem per Rank (up to 5 at S). The boosted conversion percentage and gems capable of being assimilated are dependent on Carnelian's skill level. In either case, Carnelian's altered physical state makes it so that Medical Techniques become less and less effective on him the more his body begins to take on a silicon composition.
Carnelian's Gems: Insert Gem Types and Positions
Rank - Conversion Mod. - Silicon Percentage = Medical Req.
D - +5% - 0% = All Medical Effective
C - +10% - 25% = Req. Medical Techs used by a Crystal Release User
B - +15% - 50% = Req. Medical Techs used by a Suisho
A - +20% - 75% = Req. Crystal Release Medical Techs
S - +25% - 100% = Req. Crystal Release Medical Techs used by a Suisho
*Note: These gems are permanent once assimilated, but can be "broken" if damaged sufficiently (follows user's tiers and damage rules). When broken the user is incapable of imparting the effects of the gems on their body, but the gems can be repaired via Medical techniques.

Name: Gestalt: Dust Veil
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Due to originating as a carbon-based lifeform, Carnelian still goes through many of the life processes of said lifeforms. One of the alterations that comes with his Gestalt fighting style has originated in one of these life processes, namely his sweat. As he exerts himself, Carnelian's sweat actually crystalizes upon his flesh and flakes off as translucent crystal powder. This results in a natural production of Crystal Materia so long as he is being physically active, with this powder being created at a 1:1 ratio whenever he expends stamina (1 Stamina to 1 D of Materia). This materia clings close to his body, appearing as a slight shimmer around him at the least but growing to a veil of crystal dust the more he exerts himself. While this materia lingers, it requires actual techniques to be used effectively, and it isn't capable of being preserved in its dust form. Once the topic ends, all materia produced by this technique is lost.

Name: Gestalt: Samurai Sabre Technique
Classification: NinKenjutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Varies

Description: Req. Samurai Sabre Technique. This is a technique that Carnelian created to overcome the one weakness any swordsmen encounters: the limitation of their blade's reach. This technique combines Carnelian's variant of Jade Crystal Forge with a unique method of using the Samurai Sabre Technique, producing something completely unlike what other Samurai are capable of. As Carnelian channels his chakra through his Jade Crystal Forge, instead of coating it, he destabilizes and breaks the blade into a fine crystalline dust. Despite looking as though he has ruined his weapon, instead he has empowered it by converting it into a formless state that he is still capable of controlling thanks to the application of chakra flow to the crystal. Carnelian is capable of using any of his Kenjutsu through the crystal powder, converting the damage dealt to Crystal Release Slicing when used. Carnelian is capable of directing this powder at speeds equal to his own movements, and due to being Chakra Flow this technique takes its price from the user's Max rather than their current, returning to him if ended voluntarily or lost if the flow is interrupted. The formless nature of the crystalline powder as well as the transparency of the crystal powder itself renders it incapable of being picked up by the naked eye (see Jade Crystal Forge), however when used in this manner it is also incapable of being picked up by Weapon Reading techniques that track the user's motion in order to tell where their strike will land, unless said technique is also paired with Chakra Sensory equal to the user's rank to also track the crystal powder. This technique allows the user to manipulate this crystal powder within 20ft of themselves, though they are capable of breaking down more of their own Crystal Release into this powder in order to extend the range by 10ft per Rank starting at D, however this consumes more chakra from his Max equal to the amount of materia absorbed. Being formed from the Jade Crystal Forge, this technique carries over its damage properties, however it turns its defensive properties to resisting Dispersal techniques, allowing it to resist B-Rank Physical Disperal techniques as well as B-Rank (Weak to Crystal) or C-Rank (Strong/Neutral to Crystal) Chakra-based Dispersal techniques. If the powder is dispersed, but the chakra within isn't disrupted, it will return to the user over time based on their Speed.
Speed - P.T. to Return
D - 10 P.T.
C - 8 P.T.
B - 6 P.T.
A - 4 P.T.
S - 2 P.T.
SS - 1 P.T.
SSS - Instant
*Note: This technique only requires a higher Chakra Price when assimilating Crystal Techniques not already in a powder state, forfeiting an additional price completely when powdered crystal is readily available.

Name: Gestalt: Jade Crystal Brazier
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: C-Rank (C-Rank Chakra & 1 Stamina Price)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact (Transport), Mid-Long (Distance), Self (Techniques)

Description: The Jade Crystal Techniques are a series of Suisho Exclusive ninjutsu which rather than utilizing hand seals merely rely on gestures in order to materialize them, however Carnelian has decided to take even them and make them his own. In this case, Carnelian outstretches his arms in a position where his hands are open, and materializes a colorless crystalline chakra that takes the form of a large brazier with a snowflake-like edges up to 20ft away, with a specific color depending on the type of Crystal Release he is using (White Jade if Normal, Green Jade if Flowing Style, Lavender Jade if Glowing Style). The brazier only manifests its color when it is active, otherwise being transparent and thus not required to be placed in spoiler tags unless the opponent possesses C-Rank Chakra Sensory. The main use of this technique is the production of powdered crystal materia, with light hitting the brazier causing it to "flicker" as though it has been lit while crystal powder filters out of it like "smoke". The materia created by this technique can be controlled by the user if they wish, or can be immediately used to manifest any of their Crystal Release techniques. If two or more braziers are present on the field, the user can use them as a method of transporting their Crystal Release techniques from one brazier to the next so long as they are within 40ft of each other. The brazier itself is fairly durable being able to shrug off damage from C-rank & below physical based techniques while being able to survive damage from a single C-rank chakra based technique if it lacks defense piercing or isn't strong against Crystal Release.
Rank - Crystal Materia Produced per P.T.
C-Rank or Below - 1 C
C-Rank [Low] - 2 C
C-Rank [High] - 3 C
Elite C-Rank or Above - 4 C

Name: Gestalt: Jade Crystal Forge
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: C-Rank (C-rank Chakra & 2 Stamina Price, Each Blade is comprised of 1 C-rank of Crystal)
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: The Jade Crystal Techniques are a series of Suisho Exclusive ninjutsu which rather than utilizing hand seals merely rely on gestures in order to materialize them, however Carnelian has decided to take even them and make them his own. In this case, Carnelian moves one hand to his waist as though gripping a sheath and motions with the other as though pulling a blade free from it, manifesting colorless crystalline chakra that materializes into an ornate nagamaki. This blade is dangerous in that it converts all damage dealt via Kenjutsu to Crystal Release Slicing, or simply deals C-Rank Crystal Release Slicing Damage on its own. It is sturdier than many constructs in order to be used as a primary method of combat, being capable of withstanding damage from C-Rank & Below Physical techniques that lack piercing, as well as C-Rank Chakra-based techniques so long as they are Neutral to Crystal and lack piercing (D-Rank if Strong Against Crystal, B-Rank if Weak Against Crystal). The blade created by this technique is comprised out of transparent yet reflective crystal which allows them to blend into their surroundings being invisible to the naked eye and even the vaunted visual prowess of the Zenraigan. With greater skill, Carnelian is capable of producing more blades with a single price if he so chooses.
Rank - Sight/Reaction Bypassed - Blades per Price
D - Normal, N/A - 1
C - Normal, D - 2
B - Raised, C - 3
A - Raised, B - 4
S - Heightened, A - 5

Name: Gestalt: Jade Crystal Edge
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: B-Rank (B-Rank Chakra & 3 Stamina Price)
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self (Hilt), Contact (Length)

Description: The Jade Crystal Techniques are a series of Suisho Exclusive ninjutsu which rather than utilizing hand seals merely rely on gestures in order to materialize them, however Carnelian has decided to take even them and make them his own. In this case, Carnelian can choose to manifest it one of two ways: he holds a blade created by the Jade Crystal Forge or a bladeless hilt in front of himself while running his other had up the side of the blade or where the blade would be, trailing behind it a colorless crystalline energy which condenses into a new blade, or a covering over the old one. When creating a new blade, it is capable of inflicting B-Rank Crystal Release Slicing Damage (or convert Kenjutsu into Crystal Release Slicing when used alongside them) and can withstand B-Rank & Below Physical techniques that lack piercing, as well as C-Rank Chakra-based techniques so long as they are Neutral to Crystal and lack piercing (D-Rank if Strong Against Crystal, B-Rank if Weak Against Crystal). However when used to enhance the Jade Crystal Forge technique, all of the above parameters are increased by a rank and the fused crystal constructs gain the ability to damage items and constructs that are struck, destroying anything struck that possesses B-Rank or Below Physical Resistance while anything with A-Rank or Above Physical Resistance has their durability reduced by a B-Rank as their structure becomes more brittle and crystalline.

Name: Gestalt: Crystal Lens
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: A strange alteration that occurred from the stacking of his Sword's ability with the natural silicon composition of a Suisho's body, causing Carnelian's body to become a purer form of crystal that is capable of filtering light more efficiently than his fellow Suisho. This affects his ability to process Light Materia and execute techniques that rely on it, enabling him to gather Light Materia from any source of Light, whether Low or Synthetic. This translates to an "Affinity" for Light Materia that allows him to gather 1-Rank (High Affinity) or 2-Ranks (V. High Affinity) higher Light Materia than he would at any time of day, and in any environment that isn't completely devoid of light. However in turn this makes it so that he relies more on the presence of light to function properly. This acts as the inverse of his ability to utilize light, increasing the Stamina Loss via Tier Use by 1-Rank (Low Affinity) or 2-Ranks (V. Low Affinity) at all times of day. This technique requires a 1000 WC Weekly Training to increase the user's "Affinity" for Light Materia by 1 Level, and in turn it reduces their Affinity for Tiers by 1 Level.
Light Materia Affinity: Normal (0 Trainings)
Tier Affinity: Normal (0 Trainings)

Name: Gestalt: Crystal Clarity
Classification: Barrier Kinjutsu
Rank: A-Rank
Class: Defensive
Range: Self

Description: Through the Gestalt Fighting Style Carnelian has made his body more perfectly aligned to a crystalline structure, this extending far past his physical body and permeating even his chakra. After the change, his chakra appears crystalline in all of its expressions, now being skewed more permanently towards Crystal Release. As his affinity with Crystal grows, he becomes less and less capable of harnessing elements that are not aligned to Crystal, however in turn his chakra forms a passive barrier of crystal-like energy around his mind. This barrier comes into effect when faced with hostile Illusions, with said Illusions being trapped within the barrier. This doesn't stop the cast of the illusion, still drawing its price from the caster, but instead isolates it away from the user's brain so that they aren't put under any negative effects from the techniques. The barrier has a limit to how many illusions it may trap and these illusions remain trapped within the barrier until they are dropped by the caster or the user themselves dispel them, meaning that while it is a potent defense it is not limitless. The user's Crystal Affinity determines the strength of the barrier, while also determining what elements the user is restricted to using.
Crystal Affinity - Barrier Strength - Element Restriction
Normal - 1 A-Rank - Fire, Earth or Lightning
High - 2 A-Ranks - Fire or Earth (Suisho Variants)
V. High - 3 A-Ranks - Crystal Only

Name: Gestalt: Jade Crystal Shattering Pillars
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: S-Rank (S-Rank Chakra & 5 Stamina Price; Each Pillar is comprised of 1 A-rank of Crystal)
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short (Creation)

Description: The Jade Crystal Techniques are a series of Suisho Exclusive ninjutsu which rather than utilizing hand seals merely rely on gestures in order to materialize them, however Carnelian has decided to take even them and make them his own. In this case, Carnelian claps his hands together before drawing them apart, crystalline chakra taking a shape reminiscent of a blade before Carnelian drops it to the ground, causing it to ripple outwards. The chakra then materializes into several blade-like pillars of crystal in two neat rows within 25ft to either side of him. These pillars are a specific color dependent on his Crystal Release (White Jade if Normal, Green Jade if Flowing Style, Lavender Jade if Glowing Style), while their size is Medium S. These blades have little offensive purpose on their own, but have the ability of taking on and empowering the properties of the Jade Crystal Forge and Jade Crystal Edge techniques, functioning as though both have been used in conjunction but boosting their effects 1-Rank. These pillars are also capable of being shattered into an amount crystal dust equal to the materia comprising them, allowing them to be utilized within any of Carnelian's associated techniques without having to pay an additional price to assimilate the materia. This technique is unique in that it is capable of producing more materia without a greater price, so long as it crystalizes a source of Solid Materia (or Unstable/Unknown in the case of Flowing/Glowing Crystal respectively). The technique creates at least 2 Pillars with no materia supplied, with an additional 2 Pillars per S-Rank of Crystal Materia.
