This technique, while rather useful in some cases, is scarcely known and rarely mentioned by most shinobi, and therefore might require some research to come upon it.
Using this technique, the user is able to add to the weight of an object by feeding pure chakra to a seal. By spending 1 point of chakra, the user is able to add a pound to a Small or larger object, up to 25 pounds per object.
This seal is often used on training weights for its great efficiency. While the seal is in effect, the object will radiate a chakra signature similar to the user, equal to the chakra
spent in it. The user can add to the weights if the maximum capacity of the seal has not been reached by using this technique again on the seal, without having to redraw it.
As an instant action, the user can also reduce the total required chakra in the seal by 1 point per 2 levels. To do so, he needs to make a half seal (thus have one hand free) and a Chakra Control check (DC 10 + 2 per point removed) to reduce the weight by 1 pound per point removed.
Material Focus: One Small or larger object.
Expendable Components: Materials to scribe a small seal. Scribing the seal requires a Fuinjutsu check (DC 17) and does not have to be done by the user. An attempt to craft the seal takes 5 minutes, and a failed check will result in the sealing process failing without the user noticing until the end.
A Fuinjutsu check with the same difficulty class can be attempted to confirm the seal was crafted successfully (cannot be retried).
