"Yo, Brouji. Okay, basically, same questions as before."
Why do you want to learn this technique?
What do you know about Litmus?
And, if you can be bothered, provide 3 examples of how you would use this Technique, either in a battle or in general RP, or maybe even how you could incorporate it into your Senpai duties. Be creative, you get cookies or something...
Finally, if you have any questions, ask them now, otherwise, perform the Jutsu and amaze me.
1. Yeah, that was one of the initial reasons the technique came to be. I wanted to perform small, light RP with basic elemental interactions, such as snapping my finger and creating a flame to light a cigarette. xD And that gif is awesome. U_U1. This technique has plenty of RP applications, as Lili's already said. Plus, the image of Booker using it to light Elizabeth's Cigarette will be forever etched into my mind, and who wouldn't want to do something like that? xD
2. Litmus is a water-soluble solution made of plant dyes. It's mixed with paper to form a basic pH indicator. Blue Paper turns red in acidic conditions, and red paper turns blue in basic conditions.
I'm curious, though, why did you call this jutsu "Litmus"? Is it because of the flexibility of the technique to manifest elements? Or was it because it sounded cool? xD
3a. Can use this to discuss the element in question with my students, explain basic properties, etc. would look totally badass to them xD
3b. I can use this to cause small, inconspicuous attacks against an enemy in close-range combat. For example, if going at someone with free-form taijutsu, I could use the lightning variant to touch my foe and cause a mild irritation that leaves an opening, however critical and miniscule.
3c. RP interactions.
4. *performs the jutsu* :|
...no? Ok.
Souji focuses his chakra into his right pointer finger and thumb. Snapping his fingers, he manipulates his chakra to form a small flame. Shaking his hand, he does this again, now applying a different nature. This time, small sparks of static electricity appear. He repeats this process, manifesting a small vortex of wind (like the mini-Rasenshuriken minus the Rasengan), a bubble of water, and a pebble.

[B]Description:[/B] This Jutsu was created using the special paper Sensei's possess to assess a Shinobi's Elemental Affinity as a basis. The user focuses Chakra in their finger/ hand and, by performing a small action that represents the Element they wish to replicate, they produce a raw/ primal form of the chosen Element. While this technique lacks any real "punch", its strength lies in the users imagination. The following is a list of basic examples from the 5 Elemental Natures, note that these are simply basic examples, and not the sole usage of the technique.
Fire: The user can snap their fingers, using the heat caused by the friction to make a "lighter" from their finger/ thumb. Other uses include low heat Fire's, such as Ash.
Wind: The user can twirl their finger around, using the rotation to create a mini-vortex on their fingertip. Other uses include basic variations of Wind, like small gusts.
Lightning: The user can rub their fingers together, using the vibration to mimic a small electrical charge. Other uses include basic variations of Lightning.
Earth: The user can ball their hand into a fist, compressing their Chakra and make a small rock or pebble. Other uses include softer or lighter variations of Earth, such as mud, dirt or dust.
Water: The user can simply draw a line of Water in the air, using free-flowing movements with their finger, creating a "stream" of Water in the air. Other uses include basic variants on the Water Element, such as syrup or oil.

Description: This Jutsu was developed using the special paper Sensei possess to assess a Shinobi's Elemental Affinity as a basis.

Okay, forget that this thread is covered in enough dust to usher in a nuclear winter, and that this is an update from about 3 years ago or so, and that I'm woefully incompetent when it comes to keeping people informed, here's thenewimproved Litmus Fist. The biggest changes are the fact that you can keep it active for the full 4 turns by essentially "topping up" the Chakra for the technique every turn, and the ability to use other techniques during this one's duration, though naturally not at the same as an outgoing attack. If you've got any questions, fire away, otherwise please enjoy.
(Nintaijutsu: Ritomasu Fisuto) Ninja Body Art: Litmus Fist
Type: Supplementary/ Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30 (Plus up to an additional 30 Chakra each turn)
Damage: 60
Description: Developed as a form of Taijutsu supplement, Litmus Fist carries on the concepts of it's parent technique, Litmus Finger, into new fields of use on a much larger, more focused scale. Where the parent technique was focused on creativity and speed through lack of any Hand Seals, this technique is solely focused on collaboration with almost any form or stance of Taijutsu in close quarters combat, especially Free-Form Taijutsu. The user begins by gathering a large amount of Chakra and distributing it equally throughout their body. Once this is done, the user then performs Taijutsu actions, motions, movements, etc, releasing the gathered Chakra in conjunction with them. Just like with the parent technique, these Taijutsu actions and motions are physically representative of the nature of an Element (An example of this would be using friction to perform Fire Release, or fluid motions for Water Release, etc.), which cause the Chakra to take on the properties of, and change into that Element. From there, the user applies Shape Manipulation and the same level of creative freedom from the parent technique to perform various kinds of Ninjutsu enhanced Taijutsu actions, either creating the Element they wish to use from their own Chakra, or using their Chakra to manipulate existing sources, like a nearby source of Water, or the ground beneath their feet, however, any and all offensive actions involving an existing source must originate from within Short Range of the user, same with Elements created by the user. Additionally, the user is able to utilize all canon forms/ states for the Elements they perform, for example, if they use Fire Release they could use ash, or flammable mist, however, the state or form of any attack performed via this technique cannot be changed once released, as the Chakra has already left the body, and been given form.
The user can split the Chakra Pool from this Jutsu into as many attacks they wish to perform, within reason, so the user can perform 1 A-Rank, or 2 B-Rank, etc, or even a combination of different ranked attacks, like 1 B-Rank and 2 C-Rank, etc. However with each division of the Chakra used, so too does each individual action logically lose power, although, this drawback is arguably the Jutsu's best quality, due to fact that the Nature of the users Chakra is only changed when released in conjunction with Taijutsu actions. This allows the user to swiftly and accurately shift between multiple Elements, performing extremely unique combinations of Elements, easily creating their own "style", simply by performing a series of basic actions and combing the Elements those actions unleash. Additionally, at the start of each turn for the duration of this technique the user can expend Chakra equivalent to the amount of Chakra utilized up until that point, restoring the Chakra they have for this technique back up to it's max. Although this action can easily end up eating through the users Chakra reserves, this ensures they can maintain the Jutsu for it's maximum turn limit, receiving the most from this Jutsu in return for the high cost required to maintain it. Finally, while the Chakra for this technique is gathered and prepared throughout the user's body, as it is yet to be molded, repurposed and released into an actual attack, the user can perform other Jutsu whilst this one is active, without consuming the Chakra pool gathered for this technique, however, this cannot be done simultaneously while the user is releasing an attack from this technique, as they are logically using their Chakra to shape that attack and cannot divert neither their attention, nor Chakra flow between multiple techniques.
Note: The user can keep this technique active for a max of 4 turns, and must wait 2 turns after it's deactivation before they can use it again. If the user does not use the full amount of Chakra gathered for this technique by the end of the turn limit, they lose the remaining Chakra. Finally, this Jutsu can be used a max of 3 times per battle.
