Shouton Vol. I

[vegapunk]

Yuuryoku no Shououja [Influence of a Crystal King]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Shouton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: No
Chakra: See Special!
Special: Speed of crystallization and range of effect depends on the users highest 'Crystallization Commandment' rank. Requires no handseals to perform, but the 'charge' time and chakra consumption is equal to the jutsu one is trying to crystallize. Highest rank known determines the rank of the jutsu that can be crystallized. Can crystallize any non-living incoming physical substance to a molecular-level, completely halting any momentum. An extra 'Mid'+ Upkeep is required if the crystal is to be suspended in air after conversion. Can be used in conjunction with other known Shouton jutsu, or shattered on command by the user once converted.
Description: A terrifying and rare jutsu, only a true master of the Shouton release is capable of performing such a skill as this. This jutsu allows the user to crystallize any non-living physical substance they choose within their dominion in order to protect themselves from incoming jutsu. At the order of a moving hand, or even eye-contact, the user can crystallize an incoming attack completely turning it to their unique crystal near-instantly. When crystallized and converted by the users chakra, they can then use the newly formed crystal for their own uses, changing the tide of battle at any moment.
Domain: Shouton. Crystallization Commandment 'S'.

My only issue with this is that you say momentum is halted and the attack is suspended. What if you crystallize a fire technique that's flying at you in midair, would it not drop to the ground once crystallized? Would that shatter it, or does it only shatter if the user wants it to?

Also, what if a technique is too large to actually fit all of it within your range as you're trying to crystallize it? Would only some of it be crystallized and the rest complete its movement pattern, or what? Just the questions I had while reading this.

* Still follows normal crystal rules, I can only crystalise physical substances i.e wood, ice, earth, suiton etc, not raw energy based chakra like katon. And like you said, I can only crystalise anything within my dominion range - so yeah I guess if anything was bigger it would just be partially crystalised. ^^

I was just using fire as an example. There are airborne techniques in those elements, too. So my question still stands.

edit;
But okay @ partial crystallization.

Edited in the Mid Upkeep. ^^

So, the midair object won't just fall and shatter, you have to command it to?

I've discussed this already with Vega. In addition to the cost of the technique, it says it requires a 'Mid' upkeep to suspend the crystallized jutsu in the air. If he wants to drop it and shatter it, so be it.

The only issue I see now is with rank, come to think of it. I would prefer if the rank of this technique was D-S, and that the rank acquired limited what rank of technique you could crystallize. D to D, C to C, etc.
