Name: 石英遁 {Seikiton ~ Quartz Release}
Type: Advanced Release.
Requirements: Doton and Raiton.
Ability Tier: 2.
Minimum Rank: B-rank.
Description: With good chakra control, one can use Raiton chakra to create extremely high-voltage currents. By flowing this through the ground, a ninja can use the natural properties of quartz in order to isolate it from the rest of the minerals in the ground. Unlike Crystal Release, this ability cannot be used on surrounding materials; all quartz is formed above-ground; they can manipulate the quartz granules, and fuse them using electric charges (similar to how real lightning-bolts do it). In such a fashion, they can create quartz constructs in a relatively short amount of time. Gathering silicate materials beforehand may take a bit of work. This mineral has poor piercing and cutting qualities if used in its natural state; even when fused its offensive abilities are -1 what its rank would otherwise allow.
Quartz is piezoelectric, meaning that when it is struck it generates a charge (likely to be opposite of the charges in the area), causing Quartz constructs to become lightning rods. In addition, it has a high refractive index, causing light that strikes it to pass through it and exit another way other than which it came.
Quartz has a high melting point; it is very resistant to heat-based attacks. It has no offensive advantage against any other element.
Unlock Requirements: Must have Raiton to at least A-rank and Doton to at least B-rank.
