I think you're taking the idea a bit too rigidly, Epzi. Concept resonance is simply a way of understanding how Hakuda Masters fight, it's not meant to be taken literally. I mean, if you took it absolutely literally, what couldn't a Hakuda Master do that a Kido Master could, you know? The line would blur entirely. For example, when you said earlier about "desire resonance with gravity", you wouldn't actually achieve a resonance with gravity using desire resonance. What you would do is, essentially, "wanting" or "desiring" that someone or something be distanced away from you or pulled closer. Gravity is simply how it would appear to others, or how it may manifest as a power, but it isn't the actual desire. So, in actuality, there's nothing like "desiring gravity".

Now. With your national disaster idea, I see that as being closer to a desire resonance than a concept resonance. Simply to will chaos onto the world, and thus, chaos would take form in the shape of crazy weather effects, earthquakes, and what have you. But there is a way to make a chaotic effect using concept resonance as well, and the technique for that already exists. Sokotsu is the prime example of that. Now, this is just my theory on it, so take it with a grain of salt, but I believe the reason for Ikkotsu and Sokotsu being given their names is simple. The concept behind these techniques is "bone". Or in an easier way of understanding, the framework or skeleton of something. Ikkotsu is the "single bone", which smashes apart one part of the framework, or skeleton, and causes a fracture. Sokotsu, on the other hand, is the "double bone". It causes two blows to two parts of the skeleton, causing whatever it between those two points and everything beyond is to collapse because the foundation is shattered. A Hakuda Master can literally DESTROY somebody to the very core of their soul if they mastered this technique and managed to make it hit. And when I say destroy, I mean "Quincy arrows eradicating souls, balance of souls being fucked with" kind of destruction. Hakuda has less options than Kido does, but that doesn't lessen the devastation Hakuda can cause.

Now, if your target was the air and you sought to "strike" the air, Sokotsu could probably cause a fierce spatial or air displacement that creates something akin to a tornado or typhoon. And well, from there, I'm sure you can think of how best to apply this to your character.
