It's not like it's an actual nature transformation; he doesn't transform his chakra into something else. He just decides how much spiritual energy to use over the amount of physical energy. I'm not arguing that shadow IS an advanced element. Supahbadmarine was claiming that adding Yin or Yang to an element only gives you the same element with a different flavor. This is obviously not the case.

I'm saying LOOK at what yin release does in this particular case. It makes something that is merely the absence of something else into something that is actually a physical thing that can effect real physical objects.

In light of this is it really far fetched at all to say than yin CAN be used to create a new element?
