Glass Release

Name: Gaton
Appearance: Like objects made of glass
Effect: Glass is the element that has been developed by the Kiretsu clan members after many years of training. As most advanced elements, Gaton is the fusion of two elements of the shinobi world. One of the two is Doton, earth release, while the second is is that of Katon. The properties of the glass developed by Gaton are similar to those of conventional glass, but enhanced. Depending on the preferences and the circumstances the glass can be created through air particles and minerals, the ground, the user's body, or water. Most clan members have the ability to instantly create glass out of air particles by forming the required hand seals and molding their chakra. The elite are of course able to create and manipulate glass in a more potent and quicker fashion, but every member holds the ability to create and manipulate their own glass. The amount or form of glass does not depend on the user's skill, but simply the technique used. From rough and rugged to thin and glossy the glass can be given any form and shape.

This special glass is usually transparent and not colored or stained, but the clan member can always alter its appearance. The glass is infused with chakra in order to be manipulated. Thus, the glass can become extremely sharp and hard. Unlike regular glass, the Kiretsu glass won't simply break or crack by weak hits, thrusts, heat, or sound waves. The properties of gaton are able to withstand high temperatures and various kinds of forces. Among usual weaknesses like penetrative attacks that focus on a small area of impact, lightning can turn into the best card against gaton. Due to elemental strengths and weaknesses, glass is weaker than lightning, as lightning is stronger than earth, the base of glass. Although raiton based techniques are normally able to destroy gaton based techniques, specially enhanced glass will manage to withstand or even neutralize lightning. That could happen by adding more layers of glass or infusing the glass with fuuton chakra, that will be enough to neutralize the impact of single attacks.

The creation and manipulation of gaton, glass release, can allow the user to follow three steps. As a first step, creating and forging the glass is needed to utilize the element itself, and hardening, turning the glass sharp, giving it specific form and shape, or even controlling the glass's movements is the second step of every technique. The second step is the part when the gaton user manipulates the glass through hand movement or hand seals. The limits and restrictions of this step are set depending on the clan member's experience or the technique's difficulty. Finally, there is a third step that enables the user to maintain the properties of the glass and keep it as it is, or destroy it themselves by forming a single snake hand sign. This step will force the selected glass to shatter, breaking into pieces and shards that can easily harm the enemy or provide a decent distraction. This can only be done by conducting a chakra pulse that is able to shatter the glass, but the user doesn't need to be in contact with the said glass body. Other shinobi, that don't belong to the clan, can only do this by destroying the glass with physical force, even the ones skilled enough to understand the way chakra flow shattered it. There are also specific techniques that focus on this third step, developed by the clan members.

I like what you have so far.

Please add the specific second element that glass can be made from, though. It can't vary.
