Yōton Clarity

[Hotaru]

So, I probably should have thought some of this out before I went into lava...but hindsight is 20/20 I suppose. I have a few questions about how some of the stock techniques work.

1) Fushokuzai (Corrosion Disolvance Factor) determines the corrosive power of the lava, but, since it's lava, would it's temperature alone be enough to burn through things like fabric and flesh, even at D rank?

2) Does Fushokuzai allow the creation and basic manipulation of lava? Put a different way, only using this technique, can I spit or create lava from a nearby source and direct it towards someone? Would this require hand seals if so?

3) Shield of Hard Magma is a bit confusing to me. How much lava is created? What dimensions does the shield take? If someone uses this technique and someone is standing next to them, will they be enveloped by lava? Also, the indexed version should be updated so the description isnt just a CnP of Fushokuzai x:

4) This really doesn't have anything to do with the techniques, but, is there a base time that it takes the magma to cool to stone or can the user choose how quickly/slowly their lava solidifies?

I think that's it for now.

1. Yes, it would. However, the rank is there to determine if it can beat materials with ranked defenses. Simple example, B-Ranked Protectorate will not be dissolved by D-ranked Disolvance factor. It's a balancing thing, and is slightly unrealistic I'm aware.

2.

Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Youton (Lava) chakra of their own for multiple purposes.

Yes. It does. No handseals required, but the extent to which manipulation would be possible, is somewhat connected to rank. Lower rank, less manipulative abilities.

3. The amount and dimensions is determined by Fushokuzai I'd assume. The technique isn't really descriptive. It'll have to be fixed.

4.You can't choose yourself, it's cooling factor is a physical property of lava. There isn't a base time though. Be logical with it. What I will say is that it would take a substantial amount of time for full-on cooling to occur.
