[CJ] One to Three

[Keotsu]

Here is the technique I am offering for exchange.

Any questions or comments about it?

Spoiler: (Kenjutsu: Ichimonji) - Sword Technique: Straight-line

Type: Offensive
Rank: B-S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage: 40-80
Description: A simple blow delivered with one's sword in a straight line, usually an overhead strike. Capable of shattering stone and severing trees with one strike, mastery of this simple technique is necessary on the path of becoming a master swordsman, and variations of it exist in almost any school of swordsmanship.
Note: S Rank version is usable three times; A rank version is usable 6 times.

No questions whatsoever. The simplest customs are my favourite.

On that note, do you have any for one of mine?

(Hiken: Tsubame Gaeshi) – Secret Sword: Swallow Return

Spoiler

Type: Offensive
Rank: A – S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A – 40
Damage: 60 – 80
Description: Tsubame Gaeshi is the fabled technique of the legendary swordsman, Sasaki Kojirō, who was said to be able to cut down a swallow in mid-flight. A highly lethal sword technique, wherein one strikes at an enemy with great speed. Use of this skill requires one to be an Iaidō or Spiritual Kenjutsu user, as the speed and swiftness characteristic of their quickdraw techniques is similarly employed here. With one's sword in hand, the user will move at incredible speeds, striking at the enemy from three different directions. It is a threefold application of the quickdraw technique, as the user rapidly strikes at the left flank and redraws their sword, striking directly at the head then redrawing their sword, and finally attacking the right flank (this order can be reversed if one so chooses). The motion of striking and redrawing is performed at such speed that each strike occurs at almost the exact same time, meaning that choosing to block only one strike will result in the others connecting. While this doesn't require chakra to perform (A-Rank), the user can also infuse their raw chakra into the blade, strengthening the attack (S-Rank). Samurai can infuse chakra of a basic element they know into the weapon when performing the technique. In the case of raw chakra being infused, this technique will behave as elementally neutral in clashes, whilst the S&W of the chosen elemental chakra will take effect in clashes. This technique can be used once per turn and up to three times per battle. The S-Rank variant requires a single turn cooldown before it can be performed again, and its usage prevents the user from using other Iaidō/Spiritual Kenjutsu-based techniques above A-Rank for the remainder of the turn in which it was used.

Its pretty straightforward for me as a Ronin, especially since I can't use Elemental Kenjutsu.

Though I'm fairly certain of the answer, I need to make sure: the technique references Iai, but doesn't say that it is an Iaijutsu in and of itself. I'm assuming this technique cannot interrupt handseals?

 

[Goetia]

Logically, it could. This technique being so similar to the skill it's based on, which I'm sure you're familiar with, interrupting seals is easily within its purview. That being said though, I would say no, purely because it doesn't say it can. Similar to the distinction between, say, Iaido itself and Iaigiri. The latter is based on Iaido, but it doesn't move at the speed required to actually interrupt seals like Iaido.

That’s pretty much what I thought. No further questions.

Thank you!

No problem. Thank you as well, and enjoy the technique.
