Description:
While Meditating users of Spirit Release may project an image of themselves to locations they know of through the Spirit realm, (a dimension where time and distance are distorted)No Secret locations, or areas unknown to the user. The image may talk and communicate with those at said location but is powerless to intervene in anyway. can not preform ninjutsu or do any physical task, as they are not really there. The may see, speak and hear only.
Genin may Project themselves as far as 10 Miles
Chuunin may Project themselves the length of a territory, (land of fire for instance)
Jounin may Project themselves up to two territories over
Kage level may project themselves anywhere that is known to them.
The users body is venerable during the use of this ability. the larger the distance projected to the longer it will take to return. Therefore this ability is recommended to be used in a secure location.
Spirit is the opposite of Chakra. The two coexist but few are able to utilize the power of Spirit energy over the much more commonly used Chakra. One can not existence without the other but using one weakens the other within the users body as they are opposites in nature.
The Higashi Samurai are the only known users of this rare release. Though Samurai in general can tap in to there spirit energy much more easily then Shinobi can, having traditionally used different forms of charka releases then the Shinobi.
Those who use Spirit release suffer from a weakened chakra system, as its flooded with Spirit energy primarily and not Chakra. Due to this the Samurai using Spirit release is restricted to only
ONE element, the element must be one of the 5 basic or an advanced form of the 5 basic. Therefore only
Doton, advanced would be Metal
Raiton, advanced being Magnetism
Katon, advanced being Combustion
Suiton, advanced being Ice
Fuuton, advanced being Sound
The user may
NEVER gain another Elemental effenity no matter there rank.

Full Release-(A-rank) To obtain the full release version of this jutsu you must first have the character trait of Swordsman's Spirit (See my character app) the swordsman's spirit trait must be active as well as the Half Released form of Spirit armor. they will then meld together. Giving the Spirit armor the same tint of the Samurai's Aura. The additional defensive benefits of this more powerful release is: Nearly canceling C-B rank jutsu and giving Moderate defense against A-S rank elemental jutsu.
