Talisman Technique: Cardinal Movement

The Talisman Technique: Cardinal Movement (札術・基動, Fudajutsu: Kidō) is a Fudajutsu that provides for the user to convert an inscribed technique formula into a seal of any given classification. This technique's effects are achieved through the formula itself. The formula takes the appearance of a stigmata, akin to the likes of Kyōinjutsu techniques. The stigmata is circular in appearance, with eight spikes protruding outwards from it. Within the circle, it takes a cross-like shape made out of numerous polygonal shapes, most evidently triangles and diamonds. These shapes are interconnected together through a web of lines, which are purposefully created by the technique's creator in order for its functions to work properly.

The technique works akin to the relationship between an and a. The chakra in this regard acts as the substrate for the technique formula inscribed on the medium, the latter acting as the "enzyme" of the reaction. Upon chakra being flowed into it in a specific manner, the user changes the seal's composition to become another type of seal entirely, which may be utilized in numerous ways. In particular, it may be used to conjure potent sealing techniques without requiring direct contact with a given enemy. However, due to the nature of the technique, it mainly only be used once before the technique formula is ineffective at reshaping itself. Additionally, the seal takes extensive time to prepare even prior to battle, making it something that must be regularly updated in order to work effectively.
