I think you meant tornado, but yeah, pretty much.Uh oh
Wells, let's see..
Technique seems rather strong, but has a few drawbacks since it would damage me if I'm within a mid-range distance of my opponent but I suppose if I'd use it I would like, create it long ranged from myself, behind my opponent which would throw them off as well, why would I make such a massive vortex behind them but then the explosion would attack them from behind, pretty neat.
To perform this technique I first have to weave three handseals and send my chakra into the sky above the designated target. Then by manipulating it I condense the humidity in the air creating snow and ice and create a spinning vortex of those things which rapidly lowers towards the ground, only widening as it descends much like a hurricane but then upside down as it goes from smaller to wider.
Got it, thanks ^^I think you meant tornado, but yeah, pretty much.
A couple more things to take note of to make this technique more useful:
The vague language I used when describing the dimensions of the vortex itself. You're allowed to make the vortex as wide or as narrow as you so desire. A very wide vortex will obviously carry the advantage of covering more ground and being more difficult to dodge. A narrower vortex will have a more focused power, and would therefor be more difficult to counter by blocking it.
What ultimately makes or breaks this technique's usefulness is how skillful you are with timing the detonation of the vortex. I'll leave it for you to decide the best ways to do so.![]()
@.@ such questions.Questions!
Is it required that I keep my arms crossed as I continue to channel the technique?
If this were to be used midair, would the dome envelope me 360 degrees, or the amount that it normally would if used on the ground?
Whenever the blades move to reach a mid-range, do they stay attached to the dome, or are they being severed and launched?
Is the dome hollow, or filled with ice? I'd have assumed hollow, but the picture makes it kind of look like it's filled.
At what point, if any, could you stop focusing your attention/chakra on this technique and it would still carry out the rest of its function?
Description seems pretty clear.. force chakra out of the bottom of my feet when standing atop of a surface of ice, pushing myself across it at an extreme speed and I can travel longer distances by maintaining focus on the chakra under my feet.(Hyouton: Kōri Kō Gihō)-Ice Release: Ice Propulsion Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (-5 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: When standing on ice, the user forces chakra from their feet in a manner that pushes them across the slick surface of the ice at an extreme speed. This works in a similar way to when someone uses chakra to push himself away from the ground with greater force. The difference is that the user releases the chakra without jumping, and it will simple propel them horizontally across the surface of the ice, without moving them into the air. The user is able to travel across long distances at great speed using this technique, but it only works if the user is standing on ice.
Analyze and ask anything you like, please.![]()
Good job and yes. I suggest jumping/pushing off whenever you do so though, or else you'll just go straight into the ground. You'll intially travel at an identical speed, but you're going to slow down a bit as you travel due to air resistance. But that speed reduction's negligble. Chances are you'll land/be stopped long before the air slows you down too much.Description seems pretty clear.. force chakra out of the bottom of my feet when standing atop of a surface of ice, pushing myself across it at an extreme speed and I can travel longer distances by maintaining focus on the chakra under my feet.
Question: Can I basically use a smaller patch of ice as a 'launching pad' to jump towards whatever direction at the same, or perhaps a little slower speed?
Pretty clear, just convert the snow on the battlefield into ice and due to the higher density the ice will be somewhat thinner then the layer of snow previously on the ground. But what about the slippery-ness? If I weren't to use ice propulsion can I just walk on it normally like how one walks on water? And what about a technique like swamp? If there's a solid layer of ice on the ground using swamp or antlion would be pretty pointless right? Or the ice might break if it loses support from the ground below but would give one enough time to move away I guess?Good job and yes.

Moving right along:
(Hyouton: Yuki Tenkan)-Ice Release: Snow Conversion
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: The user manipulates the snow on the battlefield that they created and uses their chakra to completely freeze the snow, causing it to become ice. Upon turning into ice, the newly turned ice will retain the same properties that it had before becoming ice. This includes, shape, rank, momentum, location, etc. Due to the small amounts of air in the snow and the increased density of ice, there will be slightly less ice after the snow is transformed.
Note: Can only be used four times per battle.
Same thing.
Got it ^^ thank youThe ice will be slippery and yes the way to deal with this is to state that you channel chakra to cling to the ground with each step in a similar manner to walking on water. That said, this needs to be stated in my opinion or else you're likely to just fall. The slickness of the ice can be determined by you on use, as it's not explicitly stated anywhere in the description.
As for the question about earth, there are a lot of factors. For a jutsu like swamp, whichever jutsu covers the larger span of ground is likely going to win, and since this is most often used after making the entire battlefield snowy, the winner will be this most of the time. If the ice sheet is large enough to span the distance of the swamp and still have lots of it still supported by solid ground, it's not going to be able to sink. Antlion in my opinion would break the ice as it specifically states that everything is sucked down. And if I remember it right from the canon, it disrupts the surface like a ton too.
kk, thanks ^^ no further questions.1. The blades would create cuts in this scenario, but they wouldn't cause anything more than superficial damage. Please also note that the blades must come in a downward direction. None of that, "I create the blades at your throat killing you instantly hurrdy durr" shit.
2. Be careful with your interpretation of 'slightly dark outside' if you try to use it that way. People have different interpretations of what exactly qualifies as "slightly dark", but I digress.
You can hold or throw it. If you're going for a subtle attack, you're better suited holding it, though.
