Element: Raiton
Range: Short (Contact)
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Instantaneous
Cooldown: 3 posts
Description: The user gathers a large amount of lightning at the tip of their fingers which then travels down throughout their body, shocking anyone in direct contact with them. The raiton charge is relatively weak, causing only 1st degree burns and is mainly used to cause a person to release their grip on you or break contact. This jutsu does not require hand signs.

Name: Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration (雷遁・感激波 ~ Raiton: Kangekiha)
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Element: Lightning
Range: 5m
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Instantaneous
Cooldown: 3 posts
Description: The user generates a large amount of lightning from their hands to attack foes. This small wave of lightning can only travel in a straight line and can only be fired from the user's hands, but can cover that 5m gap in one second. Anyone caught in the wave of lightning will receive small first and second degree electrical burns at random points throughout the body. Can also be applied through direct contact with the users hands rather than fired. Direct contact on any of the opponent's body's extremities will localize the burn/shock damage to that area, but will also slightly numb the body part slowing down its response time by 25% for 2 posts.

Name: Lightning Release: Shock Bullets (雷遁・衝撃弾 ~ Raiton: Shōgeki-dan)
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Element: Lightning
Range: 10m
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Instantaneous
Cooldown: 3 posts
Description: Electricity is built up in the fingertips of the user who then makes a gun-like pose with their hands (both middle and index finger extended). From this position "bullets" of electricity may be fired at will that travel 10m/s. These bullets deliver painful shocks at the point of contact and can singe clothing and leave 1st degree burns due to releasing its charge upon impact with any solid object. The resulting impact is enough to parry/redirect small projectiles (kunai/senbon/shuriken) midair, but are non-lethal as they lack the ability to piece flesh because of the discharge upon impact. One or both hands may be used, but only 15 "rounds" in total may be fired before the electrical charge in the user's fingertips is depleted. No hand signs are necessary to initiate the jutsu allowing for a fast draw.

When not being fired in a stream the jutsu can be maintained at a normal level and used as an impromptu light source.

Specialty: Genjutsu
Duration: Instantaneous
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: This genjutsu causes any opponents within 20m to see a blinding light emanating from the user’s body, blinding them and leaving them unable to respond to visual cues for one post. While the illusion of light itself does little as far as trapping the victim in an illusion, it does create the opportunity for the caster to activate a second genjutsu while the victim is unable to see them.

Name: Lightning Release: Lightning Conduction (雷遁・雷導通 ~ Raiton: Raidōtsū)
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Element: Lightning
Range: Contact through conductors
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Lightning Conduction Jutsu is the channeling of Lightning-based chakra through conductors, such as ninja wire or water. The ninja wire used to perform this attack is made of thin metal, capable of conducting electricity through it. This attack is usually used in conjunction with a mix of shuriken and ninja wire, to surround them with it and trap them. It electrocutes them and weaken their reaction time by 25% for 1 post and does second-degree burns. If the receiver has any type of clothing that negates electricity (Such as rubber coat, etc) it removes the burns almost entirely. Capable of being transmitted through weapons.

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Element: Raiton
Range: 15m
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Instantaneous
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: After weaving the appropriate sequence of hand signs the user generates raiton chakra from their bodies, creating 3 small (about 2 feet in length) spear shaped masses of lightning around them (one above their head and one at each side). These spear-like projectiles can be fired at will, either individually or all at once and are capable of intercepting C-rank projectiles and below. When fired they travel slightly faster than the speed of a thrown kunai and when fired at an enemy they can pierce 1 inch deep into unprotected flesh while dealing slight shock damage/2nd degree burns at the point of contact. The user can also choose to concentrate all three bolts into his/her hand rather than fire them individually, creating a longer (5 feet) spear shaped bolt. This bolt must be thrown like a javelin and travels at the same speed as the smaller versions. The higher concentration of chakra makes the jutsu capable of piercing C-rank defenses or below as well as piercing 2 inches into flesh and dealing shock damage/2nd degree burns.

These ropes can be cut by any chakra augmented weapon of B rank or higher or any non-augmented weapon of A rank or higher.

Element: Raiton
Range: N/A
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: N/A
Cooldown: 7 posts
Description: Using this jutsu the user creates up to 4 shadow clones of themselves which are imbued with the raiton element. Like standard shadow clones the raiton clones are fully capable of interacting with their environment just as the original user would and the user’s original chakra pool is evenly divided amongst the user and their clones. The clone automatically disperses when it runs out of chakra, or when hit by any attack that can cause a noteworthy level of physical damage [second/third degree burns, broken bones, stab wounds, etc]. Raiton clones destroyed in any manner other than dispersion by the user will automatically revert back into the raiton chakra used to form them and electrocute anyone within 2m of their location, dealing 2nd/3rd degree burns. Dispersion of the clones restores all of their remaining chakra to their user, but requires one post prep time.

Description: The user slams their palm or fist into the ground channeling an enormous amount of raiton chakra through it in the direction of their opponent. Immediately upon reaching the opponent the raiton chakra will begin to concentrate into a large “blade” that erupts forth from the ground, impaling the enemy and dealing 3rd degree burns at the point of contact. This “blade” peaks at 10m in height, carrying the impaled body of its victim along with it and is capable of piercing through B rank defences or lower. Once up in the air several more blades will jut out from the larger one skewering the opponent in multiple different ways. Despite the speed at which this jutsu is performed the sight of the raiton chakra travelling through the ground is a dead giveaway of an attack heading the target’s way. As such, shinobi with A rank reaction speed or above are capable of getting out of the way in time and avoiding the attack completely.
