Talk:Obsidian Release

If you dont mind me asking, why couldnt this have been done via the standard earth release? Last I checked...obsidian was an earthen material. If you wanted to create a unique set of techniques, you didnt need to create a bloodline to do it. Sometimes, restricting your character's jutsu can be a form of power. What I mean is...you could choose to create a character who has only ONE elemental affinity, in this example: earth, but because of it, his capacity to learn and utilize it, basically exceeds that of any other user, even one with the Rinnegan (both in part due to time spent training in it, and advanced chakra manipulation suited soley for the purpose of earth nature transformation). Technically its not a bloodline but if you were worried about uchiha or others learning it changing the number of Tenketsu points, even modifying one of the Celestial Gates to act as a sort of hub for earth chakra as necessary components to utilize some of your techniques is one way to go. Point is, you dont need to create something entirely different, when you can simply modify whats already here, and still get the same effect. Only its unique to YOUR character, and not anyone elses. Perhaps he can eventually perform something similar to Earthbending due to his advanced manipulation, who knows, but at least it will be your character and yours alone thats unique in this respect. --- Illuminate Void 02:58, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
