The first one allows us to convert a Fire or Lightning technique into a release-type Dark Jutsu
(Meiton: Kuro Kagami) - Dark Release: The Black Mirror
The second creates a dome of dark chakra which traps opponents
(Meiton: Kuro Rengoku) - Dark Release: The Black Cauldron
This one releases an omnidirectional explosion from the user's dark mark
(Meiton: Soukutsu no Yuurei) - Dark Release: Haunt of the Specter
(Meiton: Kuro Kagami) - Dark Release: The Black Mirror
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short - Long (Same as the chosen technique)
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A (Same as the chosen technique)
Description: After performing an absorption, the user will employ this passive ability to emit a Dark Release version of a fire or lightning technique they know from one of their dark marks. However this will only be compatible with certain types of techniques, namely the flame-variant of Katon (does not work with ash or gas techniques) and the energy-form of lightning. Furthermore it will only work with techniques that are released from the body rather than the ground, the sky or portals. Fire and Lightning techniques which meet the above criteria will be released as Meiton jutsu from one of the user's dark marks in the form of purple flames or violet lightning to signify their change into Dark Release. This technique is most effective with projectiles but will even work with streams that are spewed, whereby the chosen dark mark takes on the role of "spewing" forth the jutsu in question. The user will still have to focus on such techniques in order to sustain them. However, not all techniques released from the body can be replicated through this method. Things like armours and wings will obviously fail as they have nothing to coat or attach to. Logic will need to be applied to determine what jutsu can or can't be used with this ability. Excluding the change in their colour and elemental S/W, converted techniques will retain all of their properties and still have to abide by all of their restrictions.
Note: Can only be used four times per battle
Note: This ability is passively applied but the technique it's used alongside will still cost a move

The second creates a dome of dark chakra which traps opponents
(Meiton: Kuro Rengoku) - Dark Release: The Black Cauldron
Type: Supplementary/Defensive/Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 30 (-10 chakra per turn)
Damage: N/A (60)
Description: The user will focus their chakra into one of their dark marks to release a violet hemispherical dome. This orb of dark chakra can expand in a single direction or in every direction from the point of release. Either way, it can only span a mid-range radius at the very most. The chakra will exhibit the characteristic absorption traits of Meiton and thus will drain anyone (barring the user) of 100 chakra upon coming into contact with them. This chakra drain is exacerbated due to the dome's intangibility and so it will phase through the opponent upon passing through them. If the opponent is caught and trapped within the dome, they will constantly lose a smaller portion of chakra per turn (50 chakra). The dome will also absorb any techniques used within short-range of it or inside of it (excluding the user's own) by drawing them into itself through the use of vortexes similar to those used in Inhaling Maw. This will enable it to absorb neutral techniques of the same rank, one rank below for elements strong to Dark and one rank above for abilities weak to Dark. Upon fully expanding to encapsulate the opponent and/or the user, the dark chakra which composes the Cauldron will exhibit solid-like tangibility. This means it will keep solid techniques inside/outside of it after absorbing their chakra but more importantly, it can be destroyed by techniques which exceed it's threshold for absorption. At any point, the user can passively siphon any chakra absorbed from people or techniques by the Cauldron into their dark mark by placing it in contact with the dome. Alternatively, the user can have the dome explode into a maelstrom of purple flames once it has absorbed any chakra or a technique.
Note: Lasts for three turns
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Cooldown time of three turns in between uses

This one releases an omnidirectional explosion from the user's dark mark
(Meiton: Soukutsu no Yuurei) - Dark Release: Haunt of the Specter
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long (Explosion is Short-ranged)
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: After performing an absorption, the user will focus their chakra into one of their replica dark marks on the field. This will initiate a sudden explosion of purple flames from within that mark that will expand to the edges of short-range, covering a five-meter radial reach in every direction. The violet inferno will even leave a crater of these dimensions in the ground if the chosen dark mark was in contact with it prior to being detonated. However since the explosion spans every angle for within a five-meter distance, the dark mark and the vessel it was applied to (e.g. a kunai) will both be destroyed in the conflagration. Thus it will be impossible to re-use this technique or other Dark Release jutsu on the same dark mark.
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: No Dark techniques A-Rank or above in the user's next turn or same turn.
Note: Cooldown time of three turns in between uses
