Questions
1. Please indicate the name and Japanese translation for the kekkei genkai or kekkei tōta you wish to create.
 * Name: Tōeiken Rōmaji: Tōeiken Kanji: 剣突出

2. If it is an elemental kekkei genkai or a kekkei tōta, indicate which elements it is composed of. If it is not an elemental kekkei genkai, however, you may simply indicate so below.
 * Tōeiken is not an elemental chakra nature, and is more similar to Shikotsumyaku in its composition.

3. Briefly summarize its capabilities and abilities. Use as much detail as possible in this process.
 * Tōeiken is an ability which allows the user to generate blades from any part of their body, of any shape. This is typically used to create blades on the forearms and on the legs to increase the lethality of taijutsu, but these blades are also able to act as an effective form of defence, due to their incredible durability. Said blades are incredibly sharp and possess near unlimited cutting power. High-level users are able to have these blades cut through the fabric of space-time, slicing through all dimensions. This renders techniques such as the intangibility granted by Kamui, obsolete. They have shown to be able to cut through things that are not usually though of as severable. With a single swipe of one of these blades it is possible for the user to generate flying slashes of air, capable of rending through steel and stone with ease. The wielder can also fire these blades from their body, similar to Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets. When used in such a manner, the blades travel at an extremely high speed and are therefore difficult to track, even for possessors of dojustu, such as the Sharingan. This makes for an extremely powerful long-range stealth attack, for the only indication of their flight is a quiet whistling noise.

4. What are its weakness? Briefly summarize each below.
 * Tōeiken does have its share of weaknesses. Due to the metallic nature of the blades, when they are being used, they will attract Lightning Release heavily, due to their chakra based nature. The whole time these blades are active, the user will function as a human lightning rod, drawing lightning towards them. The other major weakness of Tōeiken is the effect of Magnet Release upon it. This ties in with their conductivity of electricity. Similarly, they are also strongly magnetic. In the presence of a strong magnetic field the person using this ability will experience a strong wrenching sensation and will be pulled towards the source of the magnetic field. This weakness does require a strong magnetic field to be put in effect, however.

5. Is your kekkei genkai/tōta clan specific? Which clan wields it? How can they awaken it, or does it appear in all members regardless?
 * Tōeiken is specific to the Setsu Clan, a clan that has long been held in high regard for their highly skilled blacksmiths. Tōeiken is fairly rare within the clan and it only manifests in approximately 1/3 of the clan. The awakening process for each wielder is different, though it is always extremely traumatic to the person involved. It commonly awakens for the first time if the person in question goes through a feeling of being "squeezed" or constricted, or if the person is feeling very defensive. More uncommonly, however, it takes hold if the user is feeling particularly angry or experiences a need to inflict harm. This referred to as a trigger event. After awakening the ability for the first time it will become more sensitive to emotions. This puts people around the wielder in danger. The only way the wielder will be able to gain control over this ability is through training.
