This technique can only be used on a melee weapon. Using this technique, the user focuses his chakra to the tip of his weapon and ignites it, thus creating a deadly implement to an already devastating attack. The Homura Dama will stay active until the user lands a successful hit, in which case it deals an additional 2d6 points of fire damage to the attack.
An attack evaded by means such as Kawarimi no Jutsu counts as a successful hit only if the attack would have hit the target. Should the attack score a critical hit, the additional damage is not multiplied, but the technique deals an additional 1d6 points of fire damage.
Empower
The user may spend an additional 10 points of chakra to increase the damage by 1d6 (maximum 5d6).
Material Focus: The user's Small (or properly sized depending on the user's size category) or larger bladed weapon.
