Technique Name: Tsu Ryūsui Yōshiki: Shinshoku (lit. Flowing Water Style: Erosion)
Technique Class: 5 - 20 TTP
Technique Type: General Shinigami
Usable By: Shinigami, Vizard, Rogue, Beast-Clansmen
Technique Element: N/A
Technique Cost: None
Description: A simple, but effective technique, Erosion allows the user to further hone their body into a weapon, treating their limbs as though they were bladed weapons. Upon being learned, the user may strike with their limbs as though it were a spear. Instead of merely impacting against the opponent, the user's hand or foot can pierce the target. With Proficiency, the user has learned how to swipe with the side of their hand or foot as though it were a blade, allowing for precise slashing wounds. With Mastery, the user can opt to use an open palm, turning their hands and feet into 'claws' to pierce or cut their opponents. Erosion merely augments the users' unarmed physical strikes to allow for cutting and piercing, and is thus treated as 'classless'. Additionally, shockwaves created while using Erosion inherit its piercing or slashing properties.
How to Use: Jab the extremity forward like a spear or swipe like a blade. For more advanced users, use the extremity akin to how an animal would use claws or talons.
Drawbacks: Requires 1 Ranks in Martial Art: Flowing Water Style & Martial Art: Hakuda. Mastery requires 2 Ranks in Martial Art: Flowing Water Style. Erosion requires the user to be using the Ferocity of the Raging River stance. To even hope to use Erosion, the user must have a minimum of 200 Strength as anything below this will prevent them from generating enough physical force to effectively slice or pierce their target and to ensure that their body is durable enough to handle the stress. Unlike a traditional weapon, this does not extend the users' reach in any way. While this does allow the user's limb to cut like a weapon, it is not advisable to clash with live weaponry without precautions since Erosion offers no inherent protection to the limb. While using Erosion, the users' unarmed attacks can only utilize their Strength.
