Description: Storm Mail is the name of a lightning technique that amplifies the user’s lightning style techniques while acting as both a defense and offense. The user weaves four hand seals, and releases a full body surge of chakra, which takes the shape of rings of lightning. These rings surround the user from ankles to the top of their head, being an inch off of their body in all cases. Alternatively, the rings can manifest themselves up to short range around the user, where they will fly around rapidly, attempting to cut into anything before going to the user’s body. In this case, the rings return to the user’s body at whatever rank they would be after clashing with any techniques. The rings have a number of advanced applications that this technique utilizes. Because they do not cover the entire body, they are generally better suited to defending against taijutsu and kenjutsu than they are against ninjutsu, however, if a jutsu is not large enough scale, the armor can defend against it due to the spacing between each ring (a good example of this would be the canon technique “Water Style: Water Dragon Whip”). If something touches the armor/rings, it shocks them for 60 damage.
Once per turn, the user can infuse part of the strength of the armor into a lightning jutsu of their own, lowering the rank of the armor by one, and increasing the damage of the jutsu by 10 by transferring the chakra. Doing so costs a move, but can occur in the same timeframe as performing the jutsu. As the rank of the armor decreases from infusing chakra from it into techniques, the damage the armor does to people that touch it decreases to match that new rank (with boosts to the armor from other techniques applying afterwards).
Once per turn, the user can levitate off the ground up to ten meters in the air by charging the rings with an electrical field identical to the one in the canon technique “Lightning Style: Lightning Blades Levitation.” While levitating through the air, the user moves at their regular running speed, which is determined by their rank. The levitation effect can be released at any time by the user, and lasts two turns
, with a maximum of two usages per usage of the jutsu.
-Levitation can only occur / be utilized if the armor is at least C ranked.
-The levitation effect has a two turn cooldown after wearing off.
-Buffing the damage of a jutsu can be done once per turn, with a two turn cooldown.
-Storm Mail lasts
three turns, unless released early.
-Can only be taught by Leathercandle.
