Yes, thanks for clarifying the new sign-up spot, Zane. 8||

Signing Shikamaru up for seithr poisoning, hold the rage. It will probably take him out faster for that to take effect for reasons below...!

Seithr poisoning, as Zane described it to me, drains people of energy until they decompose and die get really sick, in this instance.

Being a ninja from Naruto, all of Shikamaru's abilities have their basis in chakra (life energy). So Shikamaru's usual schtick of holding someone off from a distance with his shadow is no good, because that shadow is pooled with his own chakra. It will be effected by the seithr around Ragna and loop right back to him, actually making it about 10x worse.

tl;dr - realized after talking with Zane that seithr poisoning is extra awful for people who use their life energy as a weapon, because it lets the seithr affect it directly. Whoops.

That said, he'd figure out it's a Bad Thing for him pretty quick, so if there's someone else around to protect/fight for to give him an excuse to do it anyways... that would be awesome. For the whole idea to work at all. XD
