Okay you totally beat me to updating that hehe. I do have certain things that need to be addressed though.

We'll first have the strictly moderation changes:

Now for the mechanic and requirement changes:

If you make all of those changes then I can approve this update, saves me the trouble of updating this path at the least.

Additional Techniques (They were going to be added to the list):

Supporter Passives:
Basic Type should be !/2 & 1/2
Static Type should be 3/4 & 1/4
This is on the basis that those Ningyo with Supporters use and possess more Incantations than those who use Mamodo.

Ningyo Art: Think, Read, Speak & Echo = The Arcanist must adjust their hat (Don't like how they'd have no indication of how it's being used in the case of Think, whereas they merely have to recite thing which they'd already do in the case of Read & Speak)

Digestive Update = Put a Note at the bottom that has this: When assimilating Tiers, it is always at Base Level, however when assimilating multiples of the same tier (such as Speed & Speed) it increases the potency of said Tier (from Tier to Tier+ if 2, Tier++ if 3, +Tier- if 4). In addition Tier-Chains likewise count towards the total amount available, with those not incorporated being unable to be harnessed by the Supporter.

Restricted Section = Should go back to how it was previously in regards to Ranks since Ningyo is a Pirate only clan again. However these two should be kept:
Awakening Unlocked/Awakening Sacrifice Acquired - 1
Regression Unlocked - 1

All of the old restricted section techniques should be brought back such as Devil Puppetry and the ranks of things should reflect that.

Restricted Technique Names - Restriction
Soul-Bound Tome (Indestructible Tome by non Soul affecting techniques) - Archivist
Spiritual Supporter (Indestructible Supporter by non Soul affecting techniques) - Arcanist
Unbound Mamodo (Release of Tome to Mamodo upon Death of Ningyo) - Archivist
Sorella (Hat transformed into a Sentient being on par with a Living Weapon) - Arcanist
Tome-Shelf (Multiple Tomes 1 Ningyo) - Archivist
Incantation Mimicry (Utilizing the Incantations of Other Ningyo) - Arcanist
Co-Ordinate Nuinjutsu (Enacting Nuinjutsu within the confines of geometric shapes) - Universal
Devil Puppetry (Sacrifice of Ability to eat DF, bestow Mamodo/Supporter with DF) - Universal
Blessed-Globe (Orb capable of storing a Nuinjutsu Type) - Universal
Multi-Attribute (Multiple Attributes 1 Ningyo) - Universal
Attribute Refinement (Price Mitigation depending on Refinement) - Universal
Baou Stem (Incantation formed from Combination) - Universal

Spiritual Supporter - It should be raised to SS-rank (on par with Unbound Mamodo) & It shouldn't be invulnerable, but instead if should be unable to be destroyed by something not of those types, if hit by anything else it can use a portion of it's reserves (equivalent to dmg) to repair itself. Those listed however don't allow it to essentially regenerate and can actually completely destroy it, whereas the others can only do so if it is no longer able to repair itself.

Soul Globe, renders Blessed Globe moot. so the latter should be removed and replaced with the original.

Sorella = (! Soul Price & Soul Link), this way it requires not only a sacrifice but also link the Ningyo's Soul to their Supporter thus if their Ningyo dies, they will die and it takes both the Ningyo & the Sacrifices chance of reincarnation away.

Multi-Attribute = Minor Typos in the chart should be Crown of the Hat/Front Cover remains the same instead of how you have it (Front of the Hat/Back Cover) and then have it be Brim of the Hat/Back Cover.
And then keep that trend, until you get to the last one where it has covers it should be portions/covers of the hat/tome.

Unbound Mamodo = Should be replaced with the original
Incantation Mimicry = Req. Answer Talker or Arcanist.
Attribute Refinement = Should be replaced with the original

For Toketsu

Thermic Crush:

Frostborn Seeking:

For Rikigaku - Golem Path - Variable Armoury

Note, all Golem Paths use Golem Chasses.

Armoury Drives:

Weapon Cores:

Name: Rikigaku Art - Variable System: Core Theory
Classification: Fuinjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact(Extraction)

Description: Still following on from the main principles of the Golem Path, the Variable Armoury Path itself uses a different set of Cores. These Cores are instead designed to grant additional effects to the weapons that the Golem is capable of manifesting instead of actually augmenting the Golem itself. However due to this disconnect, the Core's ability to alter the Golem is massively reduced, meaning that a Weapon Golem only gains +1 Tier Level per 3 Cores Placed into the Armoury Drive and the Tier Levels are spread out amongst the Golem's tiers, it does not apply to all of them. This is also Cores, not Core Slots as some Cores are capable of taking up multiple slots. The crafting method for these cores is the same, requiring the Rikigaku draw from themselves or another creature in order to give the right properties to their weapons.

Name: Rikigaku Art - Variable System: Component Archetype
Classification: Fuinjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact(Extraction)

Description: Although the ability to grant weapons to a Golem is useful, weapons themselves are limited in what they are capable of accomplishing and against certain foes are downright useless. The Rikigaku are resourceful and clever however and through this, those of the Variable Armoury path devised a series of different Core Archetypes to enable them to alter the Weapons that their Golems wield to deal with any possible threats. Within the Component Archetype there are 4 different typeso f Core, each of these Cores takes up a different amount of slots and costs chakra to create, usually having to be drawn from a creature or item in order to create them.

Core Types:
Material Core - The most basic and possibly one of the most useful of the Component Cores, the Material Core allows the user to take properties from a material or item and add them to one of the Weapons within the Armoury Drive. The Rikigaku places their hand on the material or item in question and draws forth the Core. This can be done to a maximum of Grade IV materials and each Grade it has causes it to cost a C-Rank of chakra(So Grade I is 1 C-Rank, Grade II is 2 C-Ranks, etc). Each property drawn forth costs one core slot, however each + that the Property has causes that property to take up an additional Core Slot. (So taking just C(Chakra Conductive) would cost 1 Core Slot, taking C++ would cost 3 Core Slots.

Manifestation Core - A rather simple Core that augments the speed at which the weapon is manifested by the Golem. To create this Core, the Rikigaku must place a hand on a person or creature with Speed Tiers. Each rank of speed tiers the target has enables 2 Tier Levels worth of Manifestation speed to be taken.(This means a max of 4 Tier Levels can be taken from someone with C-Rank speed) Each Tier Level worth of Manifestation takes up half a core slot and 3 D-Ranks of chakra.(So taking a 2 Tier Level boost to Manifestation speed would cost 1 Core Slot and 1 C-Rank of chakra).

Reformation Core - There are many foes that possess abilities to destroy weapons and while they think that might counter the Armoury Golem, this core serves to prove their attempts less than effective. By touching a person or creature with Defense or Endurance Tiers, the Rikigaku can draw forth a Reformation Core. Each Rank of Defense or Endurance allows the drawing forth of 2 PT worth of time reduction. Each 2 PT of Time Reduction takes up half a core and a C-Rank of chakra. When a Reformation Core is placed into a weapon, if the weapon uses ammo it reduces the Reload Cooldown(To a minimum of 1 PT), if it does not use ammo it reduces the Destruction Cooldown(to a mimum of 1 PT).

Augmentation Core - Sometimes the basic abilities of the weapon are not quite enough and an outside alteration needs to be added, many people do this by adding seal tags or coatings to their weapons and the Rikigaku can use this to form an Augmentation Core. By placing their hands on the relevant coating, special ammo type or tag, the Rikigaku alters it into an Augmentation Core. Each rank of the add-on takes up 1 Core slot and a C-Rank of chakra(So adding C-Rank Explosive Tags as an Augmentation Core would take up 2 Core Slots and 2 C-Ranks of chakra). The duration and the number of ammo changed to the special type is dependent on the Rikigaku's Rank and then it goes on a cooldown based on the rank of the augmentation that cannot be reduced by Reformation Cores.

Rank - No. of Ammo - Duration of Aug.(PT) - Cooldown(PT)
D - 2 - 3 - 5
C - 4 - 6 - 10
B - 6 - 9 - 15
A - 8 - 12 - 20
S - 10 - 15 - 25

Name: Rikigaku Art - Variable System: Debilitation Archetype
Classification: Fuinjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: A-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact(Extraction)

Description: It is well known that several weapons, abilities and elements can cause even more damage in the form of nasty after effects, sometimes known as Status Effects or Debuffs. Those of the Variable Armoury path realised that trying to condense Cores down to follow only specific types of deubffs left them very weak but trying to keep the Core creation too broad instead made the Cores bloated and unable to be slotted into weapons. Eventually someone devised the Debilitation Archetype, cherrypicking aspects of the Status Effect they want and crafting them together into what is known as a Status Core. There are three main aspects to the Status Core, known as Power, Duration and Resistance. Power determines the actual strength of the Status Effect in the form of how badly it affects the foe, Duration is how long the Status Effect lasts for, however it is noted that higher Power causes a reduction in Duration. Lastly there is Resistance, how easy it is for an opponent to negate and how exactly it attacks the body, although it is noted that more esoteric forms of attack make it easier to resist. Each of these separate sections takes up differing amounts of core slots and chakra and once everything has been chosen, it is all crafted together into a Status Core. If the status effect is elemental in nature, the Core must be drawn from a person or creature that possesses that element.

Power of Status Effect - Slot Cost - Chakra Cost
D - 1/4 - C
C - 1/2 - B
B - 3/4 - A
A - 1 - S
S - 1 and 1/2 - SS

Duration(PT) - Slot Cost - Chakra Cost - Power Modifier
2 - 1/4 - C - D(+1 PT)
4 - 1/2 - B - C(+0 PT)
6 - 3/4 - A - B(-1 PT)
8 - 1 - S - A(-2 PT)
10 - 1 and 1/2 - SS - S(-4 PT)

Resistance Required - Slot Cost - Chakra Cost
D - 1/4 - C
C - 1/2 - B
B - 3/4 - A
A - 1 - S
S - 1 and 1/2 - SS

Resistance Tier - Slot Cost - Chakra Cost - Defense Modifier
Endurance - 1/4 - C - None
Defense - 1/2 - B - (-)1 Tier Level
Barrier - 3/4 - A - (-)2 Tier Levels
Reaction - 1 - S - (-)3 Tier Levels
Nature - 2 - SS - (-)4 Tier Levels
Spirit - 3 - SSS - (-)5 Tier Levels
Chakra - 4 - 2 SSS - (-)6 Tier Levels

*Note, Defense Modifier is a reduction in the Tier needed to resist the Debuff.

Example: C-Rank Bleed for 4 PT, resisted by C-Rank Defense. Results in C-Rank Bleed each PT for 4 PT, negated by C-Rank- Defense(No duration modifier for C-Rank power, defense causes -1 Tier Level in defense). This takes up 2 Core Slots and 4 B-Ranks of chakra.(1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2)

Name: Rikigaku Art - Variable System: Forge Archetype
Classification: Fuinjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: SS-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact(Extraction)

Description: Where the Element Drive Cores focus on the same ability at different levels, the Forge Archetype Cores instead focus on further enhancing the weapons within the Armoury Drives, ensuring that every weapon is incredibly deadly in its own right. These cores are, specifically, the Element Core, the Ability Core, the Superior Material Core and the Style Core, all of them designed to enhance the versatility and base abilities of the Weapons within the Armoury Drive, granting even greater versatility.

Core Types:
Superior Material Core - This Core is a direct upgrade to the original Material Core. It follows the same principles with the Core costing chakra dependent on the Grade, C-Rank per Grade, up to Grade IX rather than the previous cap of Grade IV. Each property costs 1 Core slot with each + to that property causing it to take an additional Core Slot.

Element Core - Although nowhere near as versatile or dangerous as the elements granted to the Element Drives of the primary path, these Element Cores are useful in granting the ability to harm targets that might otherwise be immune. This costs an SS-Rank of chakra and an amount of core slots based on the type of element taken and must be taken from a person or creature that possesses the element. When slotted into a weapon, the weapon then deals elemental physical damage of that element.

Element Type - Core Slots
Primary - 1
Spec Primary - 2
Dual Combination - 3
Perfect Primary - 4
Complex - 5
Tri-Combination - 6

Ability Core - This type of Core is specifically designed to ensure that older weapons are able to keep up to date as the Rikigaku becomes more powerful. By touching a weapon with an ability and spending an SS-Rank of chakra, the Rikigaku breaks the weapon down into an Ability Core. These ability cores can only be placed into weapons that do not already have an ability. The amount of Core Slots that are taken up are dependent on the type of weapon that was turned into an Ability Core.

Weapon Type - Core Slots
Normal - 1
Blacksmith - 2
Samurai - 3
Reaper Scythe - 4
Blacksmith Altered Sam/Reaper - 5
Simple Living Weapon - 6
Fusion Living Weapon - 7
*Note, only one ability may be taken from a Living Weapon, even if it has multiple.

Style Core - Sometimes just having a weapon isn't enough and the Style Core is there to ensure the Golem can do more than just wield the weapon. By placing their hand on themselves or a defeated opponent and spending an SS-Rank of chakra, the Rikigaku is able to draw forth a Style Core. These cores draw on the person's knowledge to take a Kenjutsu Style from them. The type of style determines the base slot cost, however as it is being drawn, techniques of the style can also be added with each one costing 1 additional core slot and an A-Rank of chakra. The max rank of technique that can be drawn forth is equal to the Rikigaku's rank or below to a max of S-Rank.

Type of Style - Base Core Slots
Simple Kenjutsu Style - 2
Fusion Kenjutsu Style - 3
Signature Style - 4
Clan Style - 5
Racial Style - 6
Advanced Fusion(Such as Fusion of Clan/Race Styles) - 7
Exclusive Style - 8

Name: Forbidden Rikigaku Art - Variable System Hijutsu: Arthurian Archetype
Classification: Fuinjutsu/Kenjutsu/Kinjutsu
Rank: Z-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact(Extraction)

Description: Requires one to have taken two paths in the Golem Wing and possess no more than 1 Legendary Weapon even within Ultimate Drives. The Omega Golem is widely seen as one of the greatest feats of the Golem Wing, creating life from seemingly nothing. However the originator of the Variable Armoury found it heinous and cruel and decided to instead create their own way of dealing with that threat by enhancing their Armoury Golem to the highest level. This technique requires the collection of weapons totalling, in rank, Z-Rank(3 SSS-Ranks) and must be of at least 4 distinct types of weapons. Upon gathering them, the user draws them together along with a vast quantity of their life force to fuse them together into the perfect Weapon Core, known henceforth as the Excalibur Core. No Excalibur Core is the same as another as not only are they all created with different weapons but they are also created with completely different intents and will driving their form and abilities. Despite being called a Core, the Excalibur Core actually resembles a weapon of some description made out of solidified light and power and takes up the Legendary Weapon slot of the Ultimate Drive that it must be placed into. Upon doing so, not only does this count as a Z-Rank Weapon but it counts as having 25 Core Slots. This is not the full extent of the Excalibur Core's power however. When it is created, the Rikigaku must choose how to apply their willpower and whether the Weapon is Restricted, Unrestricted or Unbound. If the weapon is Restricted then it gains a single Ability and the purified power that created it causes it to become immune to weapon destruction techniques. If the weapon is Unrestricted then it gains 2 Abilities, however some of the Rikigaku's flaws have seeped into the weapon, causing it to also have a Drawback, it is also able to be destroyed by an SSS-Rank weapon destruction technique, putting it on an incredible 50 PT cooldown. Lastly, there is Unbound, if the Excalibur Core is Unbound then the highest amount of its possibility has been unleashed, granting it three abilities, however doing so has caused a lot of the Rikigaku's flaws to seep into the weapon, it gains two drawbacks and the unfiltered, raw power means it can be destroyed by an SS-Rank weapon destruction technique, putting it on a 50 PT cooldown. The number of Excalibur Core's a person can possess is determined by their place in the Clan but each must be forged separately.

Position - No. of Excalibur Cores
Normal Member - 1
Technocratic Council - 2
Technocratic Lord(Clan Head) - 3

Also for Samurai (the style was already introduced to NB, just needed writing up):

Epee Chanson

Épée Chanson: This samurai style focuses on positioning of one's feet and measured movements in order to generate blows that possess piercing potential far beyond what is capable for other samurai. The need for intense focus and pinpoint precision makes this style one of, if not the best suited for one on one duels. The way this style is preformed is almost as if the samurai is conducting music with their sword, their feet moving as though dancing along to the symphony of battle, thus the meaning of the style's name: "Sword Song". The weapon of choice of a Epee Chanson samurai is a Rapier.

Name: Delicate Illness Extraction Technique
Classification: Medical Ninjutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact, Self (Patient)

Description: An important and commonly used Medical technique despite the skill required to use it. This technique is designed to teal with pathogens and toxins that have been identified through other techniques to expel them from the body. When a person has been afflicted by a pathogen (excluding Virus Release) or toxin (Excluding Venom Release), this medical ninjutsu can be used to draw out the agent and heal the damage. The cause of the illness is first determined by perceiving disturbances in the patient's chakra. Then, using a chakra scalpel, an incision is made near the affected part. Using their chakra, the medical-nin pushes a large volume of a medicinal fluid through the incision. The fluid then draws the poison out of the affected part(s) and serves as a medium through which the poison is suspended and then forced out of the person's body. This technique thus removes the poison, while simultaneously repairing the damage caused by the poison. The process is then repeated until all of the toxin is removed from the patient's body. The process itself is extremely painful and requires the subject be restrained in order for the process to work. As such, it is considered a rather crude method to deal with pathogens and toxins, and only used in emergency. This technique only draws out most of the poison, not all of it, so the subject can potentially still be in danger, albeit not immediate. To fully treat the subject, an antidote is needed if the poison in question is to complex to remove outright. After the agent is drawn out, it can be used to create an antidote or medicine after it has been analysed. This can then be given to the patient to ensure a complete recovery. This technique requires the utmost care and ability in diagnosis, incising and unmatched chakra control. Therefore, it is considered an extremely difficult technique, even among medical ninjutsu.
Rank of User - Pain Inflicted to Patient - Time in P.T to Treat Target - No. of Traits Treatable Poisons can Possess
D - S - 20 - 1
C - A - 16 - 1
B - B - 12 - 2
