What it does: Reinforcement takes the concept of an Infusion and pushes it to the next level. Instead of simply coating a piece of equipment with chakra to make it stronger, Reinforcement rewrites and amplifies the existence of whatever object the user desires to reinforce. The user runs complex chakra through their equipment, twisting it together to pursue perfect consonance. The user may only choose one piece of equipment peruse this technique, but unlike most infusions, it can be any apped equipment type the user currently holds. If this technique is used on a weapon then the following will happen: the weapon in question will find any damage it deals increased by 20/30/50/70 (C/B/A/S), and the health of the weapon will also be increased by 20/30/50/70 (C/B/A/S), all dependent on the rank of the technique as shown above. If the technique is used on armor or a defensive weapon (such as a shield), then only the health of the equipment will be increased.

Uniquely, bows can also be amplified through Reinforcement. This infuses a bow/crossbow string with the complex chakra to increase the destructive abilities of projectiles fired from them, instead of the actual bow/crossbow. Projectiles fired from a bow with this infusion will be amplified, but not the bow itself. Each projectile will gain +20/30/50/70 Projectile Speed & Projectile Impact Force (C/B/A/S) as a result of the infusion. At A-rank+, the user can opt to infuse an element they currently know into each projectile they fire at an extra cost of 10 AP per projectile infused at a maximum of 3/5 (A/S) per post. Elements cannot be changed upon firing.

For normal weaponry, the user may add 20/30/50/70 (C/B/A/S) points to the first offensive or defensive Bukijutsu technique they use that uses the infused equipment while this technique is active, in any combination they like. This buff is permanent, and the Bukijutsu technique will remain amplified until it ends. Using this amplifier effect will immediately put Reinforcement on cooldown. It should be noted that close-range Weaponry techniques cannot have their Speed amplified. The same is true for bows, as they are also able to amplify their own techniques in the same manner; but it should also be noted that if a projectile is infused with an element, then the technique that uses said projectile will gain said element(s).

It should be noted that Projection cannot be amplified with Reinforcement.

This technique counts as an Amplifier and follows the rules from the Special Technique guidelines.
