What it does:

While Aquarius Bow is active, the user charges a large arrow no larger than 0.5 meters (that includes the length of the shaft and arrow head), that when launched pierces through anything it comes into contact with. This arrow can clash with both physical and chakra constructs with no issues when used in defensive or blast mode . The arrows true abilities shine when it combats and clashes with a technique or barrier. The arrow due to be a very compressed water arrow is capable of bypassing the need of being stronger than a technique to beat it, allowing it to win equal clashes. While it can win on equal clashes as soon as the clash is done the technique will go on cool down soon after. However, the opposing jutsu gains +1 to its cooldown (so if a jutsu has a cooldown of 3, it now has a cool down of four. If it does not clash with anything then it deals damage as normal. As per the parent technique, Aquarius Bow, the arrows will have their speed at Vigor instead of the usual Speed/2+40 but only during the duration of Aquarius Bow only.

Offensive Blue: When used in this manner the arrow is capable of doing damage equal to jutsu power and requires a technique to match or beat its power in order to fizzle out. The user cannot swap to this form if they they use the defensive version.

Defensive Blue: The defensive form of this technique, the user conjures the arrow similar to Offensive Blue, but when launched the arrow turns into a 3 meter diameter cone of pure power that can clash equally with techniques and barriers in order to be able to successfully beat them. Once the clash is over, this technique and the one it clashed with are instantly put on cool down. Only Defensive Blue can successfully clash equally with techniques.

Yo Yo.
- Since this is Weaponry/Ninjutsu, it should scale based on Speed. If you want it to scale off of Vigor, make this Ninjutsu/Weaponry.
- "While Aquarius Bow is active, the user charges a large arrow no larger than 3 meters"; Need you to define what this 3 meters refers to. Is this the height of the bow? What about the rest of its dimensions?
- " While it can win on equal clashes as soon as the clash is done the technique will go on cool down soon after"; Which technique will go on cooldown? Piercing Blue? Or the technique it wins against?
- Since this has Ninjutsu, I think there should be a number of hand seals required. Been a relatively new standard, but one that makes sense considering the fact that the buki aspects of this technique benefit from Ninjutsu. But the hand seal requirement would be less than the guidelines indicate, ideally by half per rank.

While you chew on that, I'm going to reach out to staff to see their thoughts on allowing an offensive jutsu to win a clash of equal power. Normally this clause is only reserved for pure defensive techniques.
