[koton: Rūnfōji] - Steel Release: Rune Forge
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 20 (+10 to technique used on)
Damage: +20
Description: This is a simple technique which can be applied by adding a single handseal when forming a steel release technique or once it has already been made. It will happen within the same time frame of the creation of the technique is used to begin with. This applies a skill seen throughout history that many blacksmiths have used, in that to make a blade stronger, they will fold the steel to reforge, keeping the blade extremely sharp while increasing its density, such as in sushi knives. This applied in RP terms is that the steel in a technique releases more steel within itself but folds and compresses into itself. This means that the steel is harder without losing its shape/sharpness/form, and in doing so makes the technique +1 rank stronger (20 damage). For example, if the user used the S rank steel release technique to create a sword, they would infuse more chakra into it using this technique, applying more steel and controlling it with fire chakra to create the folded steel effect, making the sword stronger, giving the sword +20 damage.
Note: Only useable 4 times, can only be used on a technique once and can only be used once per turn.
