Yeah, that's mainly why I came to ask for your thoughts on it. I had the concept in mind, and then when I sat down to write it, I just... like, my mind went in one direction, then another, and so on. I hate when that happens, and it happens so often that I feel like smashing my head against the wall. >_< Anyways...

I'm probably gonna scrap those percentages thing. I thought I had a good thing going in that direction, but then I kept double-thinking it and it really does seem out of place. On the "Release Buki" part though, when I wrote Sei having "potentially infinite", I meant in terms of stages of Buki itself; not the Release Buki thing. There's definitely more than just invoking and releasing one's martial spirit, but it takes more than just a generic martial arts master to find those. With your suggestions though, I'll be able to better revisit this part though.

I feel like what Chrono said, is what I had in mind the entire time but I just lack the same level of skill Chrono has at explaining things and putting two and two together, so I could never really see it in that particular way myself before now. Like, if you look at Seireitou's Hakuda section, he already demonstrates Hakuda of that kind of resonance idea but just not in the right words. His Hokoryu and his Suiryusei would be the biggest examples. But because I couldn't put it in the same way of thinking as Chrono said, the current wording of those techniques might sound too grounded in the physical or very awkward.

Resonance makes the best sense, I'd think too. What I like most is that I could tie that into the idea Nanja inspired regarding the Kata. Sei takes on "pseudo-transformations" of a sort. Like, if certain types of martial arts are meant to reflect the essence of a creature (Tiger-Style Kung Fu, Monkey-Style, et cetera), the highest of Hakuda Masters can quite literally become that creature. Right now, I've given him a Dragon Kata which I still need to write out. But I'm side-tracking a bit.

At any rate, do you have any suggestions as to how to better work out Buki? I'm assuming that, even if my wording is kinda messy and disconnected, you get the idea of what I'm trying to do, so hopefully you have some thoughts as to what direction I can move in with it.
