Description: User can summon his shadow to fight for him, this shadow however this shadow takes on a shape of its own and defends the user on its own accord as if it where alive. Reflecting the users soul.  it appears invulnerable to conventional physical harm and has the ability to cut, grab, stab and attack targets although it can be deflected by sufficiently hard objects; Carbon-hardened objects, Kuni, swords, ect appear particularly resistant. But the teeth of the shadow can easily cut through rocks and trees with relative ease, the User can also see and talk through the shadowy eyes and mouths wherever his shadow can extend, an ability the user can use to watch over small areas. It also cannot appear without a light source and can be harmed when light becomes too bright. Fire based attacks cause intense brightness and force the shadow to flee and weaken, causing the shadow to deteriorate for a small amount of time. But once the brightness goes away the shadows return back to the aid of their master. Normally a single post worth of time.  The damage it causes if attacks hit are about 6 inch cuts, major external bruising and the breaking of bones. These shadows move at about Taijutsu Mastery Speed.


Weakness:

*Bright Light
*Fire Based Attacks
*Attacks to the eyes of a individual tendril causes the original users vision to become painful, blurry, and begin bleeding from the eyes.

Duration: Maintainable
Cooldown: "Duration +4 posts".
Description: The user is able to become a shadow for a extended amount of time, allowing the user to move at high speeds of Taijutsu Adept and maneuver easily. Users are still attackable in this form and can be harmed if the shadow is hit (Stabbed, ect). The user can also travel quickly via shadows/darkness, merging into shadows/darkness and appearing anywhere else from the same element within a large area. They move at an adept level. While in this form, the user may preform other jutsu related to the shadow element, even using tendrils to strike opponents from the shadows of different areas. However, the user must stick to a surface. This also gives the user the ability to possess the shadow of another object/person, by becoming one with the victims shadow the user can them puppeteer the victim (Only NPC). Tendril attack is not part of the Jutsu, but a separate jutsu that can be preformed while using this one.

*Intense Light
*Is still vulnerable to attack
*Must stick to a surface
*Cannot preform physical attacks

Name: Shadow Conjuring
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Element: Shadow
Range: Touch/5M
Specialty: Bukijutsu/Ninjutsu
Duration:  Maintainabe  
Cooldown: "Duration +1 post".
Description: Users can turn their shadow into tools, objects, weapons, cloths and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create clothing of varying permanence. This jutsu allows the user to adapt on the fly while staying light. A user can summon a weapon from their shadow and use it as effectively as any normal weapon. This can also summon shard spike like tendrils from the weapons/clothing they summon. Users can also change clothing and other things for comfort. This is often used as a starter jutsu for the younglings of the clan. Weapons only do as much damage as a normal weapon. The user can create a C-rank Onojutsu weapon, or 3 D-rank weapons, or 10 E-rank weapon. The way this works is basically an extension of the users shadow. Allowing it to become a more physical manifestation almost like Shadow Guardian, and molding it into whatever tool is needed. The items are drawn from the users shadow.  

Weakness:
*Standard weapons and clothing have the same weaknesses as the objects he creates. If someone where to cut the clothing he wore it would rip, if someone where to break an object he creates it would break. They are basically standard objects and can break easily by almost anything.

Rank: A
Type: Supplementary?
Element: Shadow
Range: 20M
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Maintainable  
Cooldown: 5 Post
Description: Shadow Paralysis gives the user the ability to paralyze a target upon contact. It works almost like a leech and when the shadows stretch from the user at about Taijutsu Adept speeds and latch onto the victim's is quickly looses their ability to move as the shadows stretch and keep their bodies binded to the spot they are in. Preventing them from moving anywhere else. Wherever the shadow is on the body is the part that is incapable of movements. For example if the shadow expands to the users waist they are paralyzed to the waist down, if the shadow is on the arms the arms are incapable of movement. The is restricted to the surface, meaning it is incapable of becoming a physical embodiment like other shadow based Jutsu. When it is chasing a target, the shadows act depending on what the user demands it does and either separate, go in one line, or follow until it is useless, and retreat back to the user.

Weakness:

*Intense Light
*Fire Based Attacks
*Targets that move to quickly

Name: Shadow Coffin
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Element: Shadow
Range: 10M
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: 1 post  
Cooldown: 5 post
Description: Shadow Coffin is a Jutsu which seals its target in a black coffin by using the shadow of the user. The shadows stretch from either the user the target before taking the form of a box of shadow covered in several spear-like tendrils which pierce the box, lacerating the one inside from head to toe in 3 inch cuts and and stab wounds, able to penetrate important organs and arteries. Wounds at this rank, if they hit a vital area, can be lethal if not treated with haste; most often, it is at this rank that ninja can start to bleed out. This coffin is nearly inescapable and is harder than diamond and can only be escaped if the user is fast enough to flee, or has a light bomb witch when used forces the box to deteriorate and weaken. Another jutsu of higher or equal rank may be able to break out of the box depending on the jutsu. This jutsu requires the shadow to stretch from the user all the way to the target, and then generate from the ground up to create the box. Meaning it is easily to escape if a target simply keeps on moving and stays on the run. Considering the shadow moves at Taijutsu Adept speeds is should be fairly simple to outrun.

Weakness:
*Intense Light
*Fast Targets
*Summoning Jutsu (Only giant summoning Jutsu)

Duration: Maintainable
Hand Seals/Charge up: 5 Post
Description: This jutsu gives Sparda the ability to summon the shadows to his aid, his own shadow latches onto him and consumes his body in a almost interpretable force that not even light can destroy. Sparda uses this as a last resort if anyone manages to get past his main defenses. However, if intense light is used, the shield weakens in the spot the light exposes more. Leaving it open to powerful Taijutsu attacks, certain Nin attacks, or ect. The shield is easily penetrated by powerful Nin, Tai, or other jutsu that apply enough force or pressure to cause damage and shatter the shield.

Weakness:

*Intense light
*A Rank Tai
*A Rank Fire Nin
*A Rank Lighting Nin
*Extremely powerful force or pressure
*A Rank Kenjutsu and Puppets
