[quote=Dizzmcd] I liked my obsidian glass technique, going off the contradiction that the bastard sword that creates glass, as well as the thin glass being black gave. but i can't figure out how to make it powerful, other than making the glass liquid to solid, trapping opponents in it or something. Any ideas? does the shikai/character sound good so far? Idk if the names are right, google translate sucks butt. [/quote] Hey, the most obvious way to make that kind of crystal-themed weapon is to make it use sharp shards in some way. But I have got to say, I like your idea so much better! I think the Shikai is borderline overpowered, but I don't know what I would change. Maybe restrict it to two or three collumns or something. To get a good grip of the power level we're looking for, check out the applications that are accepted already. Also, if you're looking for someone who can translate Japanese a little better than Google, I'm your man. What names specifically did you have in mind? If you need any more help, please ask!
