Description:
The most basic application of the Force Alter skill; it pertains to the ability the user has to use the Force to kinetically manipulate the world. By using willpower to influence the Force into affecting the world around them; Force Sensitives can "grab" or "grip" anything around them and, through focus and concentration, move them around. This ability has several applications and its power correlates with the users rank within the clan. To perfectly control its usage; the user must focus and use hand or body gestures. The size of what can be grasped is irrelevant for highly-ranked Force Sensitives, as what counts is the user’s mental focus and willpower, which are honed more and more as the user climbs the ranks of the clan. This skill has several applications, depending on how it’s employed, but always follows the same principles:
Grip Push | Atsuryoku – The user moves one or both palms, producing a directional push that moves whatever is targeted away. The application’s area of effect is dependent on the user’s rank within the clan and can even be large enough to push a boss summon backwards. This is one of the most basic applications, usable by all Force Sensitives since it requires little focus. Its limitation is that it cannot affect intangible or otherwise "ethereal" targets, such as energy, and can be defended against by an equality strong physical force. This application is unlocked at Padawan/Apprentice rank
Grip Pull | Unpan – The user moves one or both palms, producing a directional pull towards him of a given target. The size of what can be pulled is dependent on the user’s rank within the clan and can even be large enough to move a boss summon towards the user. This is one of the most basic applications, usable by all Force Sensitives since it requires little focus. Its limitation is that it cannot affect intangible or otherwise "ethereal" targets, such as energy, and can be defended against by an equality strong physical force. This application is unlocked at Padawan/Apprentice rank. The pull is mainly a supplementary or defensive application as it cannot damage an enemy directly. It can, however, be used to damage structures or techniques if applicable.
Grip Flight | Hikō – The user grab themselves with the Force and lift themselves above ground. If used correctly and with enough skill; the user can effectively achieve a form of flight. The limitation of the application is the focus needed to sustain it, which prevents the user from using other techniques at the same time. This application is unlocked at Jedi Knight/Sith Lord rank. Grand Masters can share this ability with an ally byt gripping them at the same time but adds a double chakra cost in return.
Grip Control | Seigyo – The core application of the ability, the user grips something with the Force and moves it around through the use of willpower and focus upon the Force. If used on inanimate targets; it can destroy equally-ranked structures if the user wants to and applies enough chakra and force. However, the focus and concentration needed for this application prevents the user from using it to directly harm an enemy in that same manner, instead needing to direct him at nearby hazards or physical structures, producing physical damage as the enemy is "thrown" against it. The momentum one can produce, however, inflicts damage proportionate to the chakra spent. While all users require the use of hand or body movements and gestures to control and sustain the technique, Grand Masters can grip and move several objects simultaneously. However, even Grand Masters have trouble using this application against multiple, small targets, as is the case of sand/powder based techniques, fire, or Aburame Clan bug techniques (the more individual objects, the less effective the technique is). This application is unlocked at Jedi Knight/Sith Lord rank.
Grip Shield | Bōei – The user will focus and produce a spherical, blunt, physical almost "repel-effect" that can protect him from physical attacks. It’s the user grabbing whatever is thrown or fired and stopping it or diverting it from its path. To the outside observer; it’s as if an invisible, spherical solid barrier is protecting the user. Through the use of each hand, the user can produce a 180º field of effect, whereas both hands are needed to achieve a 360º effect. This application is unlocked at Grand Master rank.
S-Rank usage will lead to a 2 turn cool down before the ability or any Force technique can be used again.
Grip Shield can only be used twice per battle.
Note: The strength of the technique is directly related to the amount of focus and chakra one spends on it as well as his rank within the clan. Padawan/Apprentice can use it as a C-Rank on one target by using both hands, Jedi Knight/Sith Lord can use it as a B-Rank by using one hand or A-Rank by using both, Grand Master can use it up to S-Rank on multiple targets.
When Grand Masters use it on multiple targets, the power of the technique is divided amongst the targets, meaning that more targets equals less power in each.
The scale of the technique increases as its power does, keeping in consideration the logic and reasoning of the narutoverse.
Cannot fully interact with energy or intangible targets.
The ability can be kept if chakra is expended (same as the initial use per turn) to sustain it, but as long as the technique is being used, regardless of its application, no chakra can be molded for other techniques and focus must be maintained.
If the user specializes in Force Alter, the technique can be used with less effort and doesn't require hand gestures within short range.
Multiple applications of the technique can be used at the same time as long as the user spends the required chakra, though each application counts as a move.
