Paradise Invite
A tricky technique that creates a strong-looking barrier that upon being attacked, breaks down and reveals a trap, imprisoning the target immediately.

Information
Prerequisites: B-Rank, a weapon with the Puppet damage type

Rank 1: Blocks 1350 Damage. Upon being attacked, if not completely destroyed, the attacker makes a Ranged check; failing this causes them to be encased in a prison with HP equal to the barriers remaining HP.
Rank 2: Blocks 1685 Damage. Upon being attacked, if not completely destroyed, the attacker makes a Ranged check; failing this causes them to be encased in a prison with HP equal to the barriers remaining HP.

Special Action: By paying +20% CP, this Taijutsu may be armed as a Trap item; the AP/CP cost of this jutsu replace the usual trap costs, but otherwise, follows other Trap rules. This counts as both a Puppet Taijutsu and Trap Item. The puppet itself is considered the Trap for targeting purposes.

Rank 1 Cost: 545 Cp, 225 Cp/Rnd
Rank 2 Cost: 680 Cp, 340 Cp/Rnd

Note
- Lasts for thirty seconds.
- After completion, requires ten seconds of cooldown.
- Targets caught by the prison are not bound, but cannot target others or be attacked until the barrier's HP is destroyed.

Audio Medic
A puppet mechanism that emits a comforting aura through soundwaves, allowing those who feel its healing beat to shrug off minor injury.

Information
Prerequisites: B-Rank, a weapon with the Puppet damage type

Rank 1: Upon initiation the user chooses one of their puppet-type weapons (equipped or unequipped, it does not matter). While active, this weapon will heal up to two targets for 530 Hp. Resting while affected by this jutsu recovers an additional +0.5% Max HP and CP per 2 AP spent Resting.
Rank 2: Upon initiation the user chooses one of their puppet-type weapons (equipped or unequipped, it does not matter). While active, this weapon will heal up to two targets for 660 Hp. Resting while affected by this jutsu recovers an additional +0.5% Max HP and CP per 1 AP spent Resting.

Special Action: By increasing the Cp cost by +20%, the user may have an additional puppet-type weapon join in on this jutsu. This increases the targets by +1, and prevents this jutsu from being unwillingly dropped until all weapons maintaining it are Broken.

Rank 2 Cost: 615 Cp, 305 Cp/Rnd

Note
- Lasts for thirty seconds.
- Weapons used with this technique cannot be used with any other technique while this Jutsu is maintained. Cannot be used with Broken weapons.

However upon this barrier being destroyed, the weapon has its called shot: weapon penalty raised (may inflict the Broken rank) and is considered dropped, requiring the user to pick it up before it can be used with any action. Using this special action allows this jutsu to be cast without being equipped with a weapon.

Rank 1 Cost: 545 Cp, 225 Cp/Rnd
Rank 2 Cost: 680 Cp, 340 Cp/Rnd

Shortcircuit
A handy technique that enables the puppet to release a burst of disruptive chakra; although weak as a standalone attack, this technique is designed to disrupt, and in other cases, control, other devices in battle.

Information
Prerequisites: B-Rank, a weapon with the Puppet damage type

Rank 1: Makes a Ranged check against the owner of every trap active in battle. Victims who fail have a single trap set by them (chosen at random) deactivated.
Rank 2: Makes a Ranged check against the owner of every trap active in battle. Victims who fail have up to two random traps set by them deactivated.

Special Action - Hack: By paying +20% CP, rather than disarm the trap, the user may attempt to take control of it. If successful, the user gains control of the trap (and takes on any costs), but if it fails, the trap is triggered and the weapon used with this taijutsu has its called shot level raised (this action may be inflicted with the Broken rank). Traps taken control of count towards the user's limit of active Traps; if not triggered by the end of the round, the user may freely change its triggering conditions at the start of the next round.

Rank 1 Cost: 5454 Cp
Rank 2 Cost: 680 Cp

Note
- May only target traps the user is aware of. This jutsu will not trigger any traps it targets.
- Does not apply to the user's own traps.
- If the special action is taken control of, the user of this jutsu and the original trap owner are 'reversed' for the purpose of triggering conditions.

• For example; a trap set to trigger when its 'original owner' was attacked by the 'jutsu user' will now be reversed to activating when the 'jutsu user' (now the new owner), is attacked by the 'original owner' (now the enemy).
