Hand Seals
(For a quick reference list, look at the bottom)

What are they?

Hand seals are concepts created by ninja in order to concentrate chakra faster and more efficiently. Each concept is modeled with a movement of the hand to help focus that concept in to its specific form. While it is possible to form chakra without hand seals, the amount of concentration needed would be ridiculous and even then, it would be hard to pull it off. And while the hand seals are arbitrary, in a sense, the way people are taught, using the hand seals is one of the few ways to concentrate the chakra effectively. So, technically a Boar seal could concentrate the same way as a Dragon seal, as the actual movements of the hands are not the real part but rather they are a shortcut drilled in to people's heads to work that way.

Huh?

Essentially, to mold chakra, you move your hands certain ways to remind your body how to do something. It's possible to mix and match the seals and stuff, but it's really not a good idea as these concepts have been perfected over ages and trying to make your own won't really do much.

Using Seals
  • For every 5 Hand Sealing stat you have, you can use 1 seal per turn.
  • You can only make one jutsu at a time unless you have single handed sealing.
  • You can have an unlimited amount of seals for a single jutsu, however no two seals may repeat back to back.
  • Two identical jutsu can have different seals. You cannot, however, change the seals of a learned jutsu.

The Seals (Full Description)

(Click the name for a picture of each respective seal)

Elemental Seals

One elemental seal is required for any elemental jutsu. One of each element is required for combination elemental jutsu. For more complex jutsu, more than one elemental seal is required.

Ox - The Ox seal is most commonly linked to Earth manipulation. Using this adds allows for earth elemental nature manipulation.

Dragon - The Dragon seal is most commonly linked to Fire manipulation. Using this adds allows for fire elemental nature manipulation.

Bird - The Bird seal is most commonly linked to Wind manipulation. Using this adds allows for wind elemental nature manipulation.

Serpent - The Serpent seal is most commonly linked to Lightning manipulation. Using this adds allows for lightning elemental nature manipulation.

Horse - The Horse seal is most commonly linked to Water manipulation. Using this adds allows for water elemental nature manipulation.

Treble - The Treble seal is most commonly linked to Sound manipulation. Using this adds allows for sound elemental nature manipulation.

Shadow - The Shadow seal is most commonly linked to Dark manipulation. Using this adds allows for dark elemental nature manipulation.

Trinity - The Trinity seal is most commonly linked to Light manipulation. Using this adds allows for light elemental nature manipulation.

Non-elemental Seals

Tiger - The Tiger seal is seen in many jutsu due to its nature of being a controlling seal. It is found in most fire jutsu due to the volatile nature of the element and the need for control. Tiger allows a more advanced control.

Decreases chakra cost of a jutsu by 5%. Accumulates to 15% max.

Boar - The Boar seal is used to designate movement. When used, it controls chakra in a single direction, and the more it is used, the more complex the movements become.

Allows for directional movement. Every seal increases movement ability by 1.

Monkey - The Monkey seal is used specifically in jutsu that focus in range. Especially found in area wide jutsu, using this seal will allow for movement for a larger range, however it will not be easily controlled.

Allows for area effect jutsu, also increases range of a jutsu by 25% in any given direction, however directional control is lowered by 1.

Dog - The Dog seal is used in augmentation jutsu. Medical jutsu, sense enhancing jutsu, strengthening jutsu, these all require the Dog seal due to its ability to align chakra that has been release from the body back in to the body.

Allows for augmentation jutsu.

Hare - The Hare seal is used in relation to the speed of a jutsu. Using this will increase the velocity in which a jutsu is released. Used in other senses, it can increase certain aspects of a jutsu.

Increases jutsu speed by 10%.

Ram - The Ram seal is used for strength. This increases the damaging possibilities of a jutsu that it is used with by a small amount. How this translates depends completely on the jutsu.

Increases damage cap of a jutsu by 10%.

Rat - The Rat seal represents the stealth of a given jutsu. When used, it helps cover the chakra signature as well as physical signs of a jutsu. Assassination type attacks are riddled with these seals.

Decreases detectability of a jutsu by 10%, to a maximum of 50%.

There are pics of the standard 12 Hand Seals on various Naruto sites that you can probably use, as well as ones for Trinity and Shadow. As for Treble, I described it as clearly as I could in the original thread, so you can probably just copy-paste that into this.

I know, I just feel if we do 12 one way and three another... This way they'll all be pretty even.

Up to you. If you do them, I'll use 'em. If not, I'll just write them up. On that note, I need to finish this. I'm gonna change some of the elemental seals due to things like Tiger being used for Fire and stuff, cannon and all.
